If we lost all power and it became like a post apocalyptic movie this canner would be worth so much. It would get me through the harsh winters. I have many cans so I could can meat for decades to come. This canner is so great. I'm so glad they make high quality canners

I bought an old 921 at a yard sale years ago, it has the spring loaded steam release valve. Recently, I picked up 2 newer, larger ones at the scrap yard along with 3 lids. Had to order the parts to complete them: bayonet clamps, wing nuts and bolts, and new pressure gauges. Plus fresh rubber fuse plugs. I had to clean up the newer ones, as they had been used over a campfire. All the lids are the same size and fit interchangeably. Cleaned up with fresh parts they are as good as new. I love these pans, they are so rugged and serviceable. Maintained, they will last for ever!

I WATCH THIS VIDEO EVERY TIME I USE MINE SO THAT I CAN REMEMBER WHAT TO DO THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO ITS GREAT

My grandmother just gave me my great grandmother's All American pressure canner. I've done plenty of water bath canning, but pressure canning kind of freaks me out! Thanks for such a clear video - I feel much more confident in how this thing works and I'm excited for lots of new options for foods to can!

My husband treated me to the All American 921 canner about 2 years ago. I have been non stop canning ever since. We have just dedicated a spare room in our home for all my canned goodies. Still working on siphoning issues every once in a while, but no one is100%.

When you turn off the flame from the canner, be sure to let the pressure come down completely before removing the weighted gauge. Safely remove the gauge and then unlock the top lid. Twist the lid to the unlock position but do not life the lid off yet. Let the lid rest unlocked for another 10 minutes, then slowly lift the lid away from you allowing any additional liquid to drop down into the canner and for the hot steam to escape. Properly allowing the canner to come down from heat and then pressure is key to preventing siphoning especially at higher altitudes. Proper venting in the beginning is also key depending on your altitude. Keep up the great work and remember to always be creative and have fun.

We just picked one up at a garage sale today! We are so excited!

These canners are best designed for pressure canning, but you can use it for food directly in the canner if you prefer. I’d recommend making some long folded foil straps that you lay across the bottom and side of the canner, at least 2-3. Fold them loosely over the top of the Turkey before you lock the lid. Use these straps to safely lift the whole Turkey out of the pressure cooker if you want it to come out in one piece. I would also recommend a good soak with vinegar and water to remove any oils and stains from the canner after cooking. Enjoy!

As long as the water does not cover the jars then it will be fine. I like to fill my canner with water to 1 inch under the neck of the jars. But as long as you have enough water in the canned that will not boil off during processing, it will still properly process the jars under pressure. A good rule is to fill the canner with 2 inches (5 cm) of water without any jars at first. You will gradually loose some of that water level in the pre-heating, loading, boiling, venting and processing steps. So as long as it doesn’t cover the jars, the water level will only go down gradually from there anyway during the whole process.

@kitchenbasics5137

As far as I know, pressure canning is only necessary for low acid foods in liquid and is not meant for foods that contain grains, dairy or pasta. Those would break down and cause the jars to thicken too much. If you are using the pressure canner to sterilize the jars empty, you don’t need to bring them up to pressure. You can put the lid on and vent the canner for 10-15 minutes without the gauge and let the steam sterilize the jars for you, or just use a water bath canner. What I do is load my dishwasher with just my jars and run the sterilize cycle. The heated steam inside the dishwasher is enough to completely sterilize the jars. If you are looking to can dry goods like grains already inside the jars, you will need to research those who do dry canning in their oven. There are quite a few KZreadrs who show how to can things like dry rice, beans and grains using a hot oven. I don’t have any knowledge on this process nor do I know if it’s actually food safe. You would have to do more of your own research and follow the safest method.

May I ask, some videos say, I need to see steam escaping from the spout and time 10min, then place the weight on it. Is this correct? My weight flies right off, I think coz the heat is too hot, too much pressure? I feel the AA needs to have a heat resistant level.

Yes you have to let steam escape for 10 min before adding the weight. If its flying off your heat and pressure is way too high and this is dangerous. Only add the weight and wait til let jiggles. Adjust heat so that it only jiggles 3 or 4 times per minute. Start your timer at the time of first jiggle

can this be used for food or just canning?

I had this problem before and most of the time it was due to the petroleum jelly. I switched to using an olive oil or avocado oil instead. I use a paper towel to spread it all along the inside lip of the canner and the outer side of the lid where it makes contact. If you put the lid of dry first, you will see exactly where the lid makes contact with the canner. You only need to apply a very thin layer of lubricant, to much may cause the canner to not seal properly. When I place my lid on, I make sure to rotate it left to right a couple times so the lid and canner self lubricate the entire ring once more to make sure there are no gaps and the seal is even. Look at the gap under the lid to make sure it’s the same level all around when locked into the canner and adjust using the handle. Once you are confident the lid is level, you can then tighten the bolts two at a time opposite from each other. I tighten all mine loose at first then check to make sure the lid is still level, then do a final tightening two at a time, opposite each other. It works for me every time and I have no leaks.

Yes this is normal. If you have hard water you can try filtering it and using a small amount of vinegar inside the canner during canning. For ours, we only use distilled water from our commercial water distiller and 1/2 cup of vinegar for every canning batch. The inside of our canner looks almost brand new after 5 years and the vinegar helps our jars come out very clean.

I thought I heard 10 quart canners were not big enough like a 16 quart canner, or tested to be safe, hot enough

My weight never jiggles. It takes FOREVER to get up to 240-250 on the dial. Since my weight doesn’t jiggle I always wait for the dial to show 240+ then I turn the heat back and start the time. That gives me 250 for the complete time. I sure hope this is correct!

I saw gas is the preferred heating source. But in Europe, the brussels dictators force us to use electricity. Can you use the canner on a ceramic glas ? Also, can you give me a good brand where to buy the jars? Thanks!

Once my canner has no pressure and I remove the weighted gauge, I wait another 10-15 minutes for the canner to cool. The product inside will still be boiling and this resting period allows the cans and the canner to cool gradually and the lid to loosen slightly. If after this resting period you still cannot twist and remove the lid, you will need a hammer. Flip the hammer so the handle is pointing up an using the claw side, very gently and slowly give the lid a little vertical lift with the claw in between where the rotating lid locks come in contact with the upper lip channel locks. You only have to apply enough pressure to just pop the lid a little. Once the lid is free, I rotate my lid to the unlock position but I don’t remove it yet. I still allow for another 10 minutes to allow the cans to cool slowly. I hope this helps with your canner lid issue. Next time make sure the inside seal and lip of the canner lid is well lubricated with oil or Vaseline and it should release easily. :-)

@kitchenbasics5137

The pressure canner needs a lot of heat initially, boil, steam vent and then build pressure with the weighted gauge. It could be the venting step was not completed correctly or skipped. Bring the canner up to a boil without the weighted gauge on vent hole. Wait until the vent is producing steam in a very strong consistent stream. It should look like the steam is the loudest and tallest it will get, around 1 foot and holding strong. Once it reaches this point, you need to start the timer and vent the canner for 10 minutes with that steady vent stream, don’t turn down or increase the heat if it’s consistent. After 10 minutes, the steam will have removed all the atmosphere from the canner and it’s ready to build pressure. Place the weighted gauge on the vent hole according to your altitude and allow the canner to come up to pressure at the same heat. It may take anywhere from 5-10 minutes for the canner to build pressure and the gauge will begin to jiggle once it reaches the required pounds of pressure. Slowly reduce the heat to medium or medium low until the gauge jiggles 2-3 times per minute. Then set the timer for the processing time and monitor the gauge making sure it jiggles a few times per minute to maintain the pressure consistently through the whole processing time.

Before you start loading your jars, the water needs to be hot but not boiling yet, almost under a simmer. You also went to check the water level and adjust once you have loaded the first level of jars. When pressure canning, the water level cannot cover the jars. I make sure the water level is around 1 inch below to the neck of the jars. I use 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar and filtered water in the canner. We have a whole house filter so the tap water works best already. If you are still seeing buildup and residue with vinegar added, you may need to purchase a water tap filter or pitcher to help remove most of those elements from the water before filling the canner.
