All American 1930 21.5qt Pressure Cooker/Canner (The 921), Onyx Black - Exclusive Metal-to-Metal Sealing System - Suitable for Gas, Electric, or Flat Top Stoves - Made in the USA

Surprisingly very fast delivery, only 5 days. Works as advertised, built like a tank, have already canned 4 kilos of tuna. It’s not as heavy as it looks, for reference a 30cm Dutch oven is a lot heavier. I am using Le Parfait jars half pint equivalent and I could have done 3 stacks, so I suggest you invest in a third rack. Highly recommend you do a test run with just water before you can anything to get a feel for it. My first run had water bubbling out from the sides, that was using olive oil. My second test run using Vaseline was impeccable and as a result is my go to method.I hesitated between the 921 and the 930, the color was the determining factor for me, it just stands out in the kitchen, I also don’t plan on double stacking quart size jars.

Using this product is easy. The no gasket seal is great. I rubbed a little olive oil on the sealing surface and was only somewhat careful in keeping an even gap and there was no leaking. This canner is really big, so it takes a long time to come up to pressure. With water in the bottom already boiling and the jar contents hot packed, it took 10 minutes to reach 15 psi. It takes even longer to come back down from pressure. That being said, I feel some of the cooking times are off. My carrots ended up mushy. It makes sense why: If you wait until full pressure is reached to start timing, but then can't remove the contents until all pressure is relieved everything gets overcooked. The whole time there is pressure in the can the food will be cooking at hotter than boiling temps. At my altitude the carrots should have a 30 min cooking time (43 minutes according to USDA). There is 30 minutes spent above 1 atmosphere simply pressurizing and depressurizing the canner, but you are not supposed to start timing until the weighted gauge sputters.If you are wondering what size to go with, it comes down to money and muscle. I bought the 30 quart thinking about the future when my garden will be bigger then I will need the extra canner space, but already my carrots filled 8 quarts, and had I not bought the 30 quart that would have been a second processing batch just because of one jar. Also the 30 quart is heavy and tall. I have a glass cook top so I have to can outside on a propane stove. Moving a loaded 30 quart canner from inside to outside takes a strong back or a couple of people.This is clearly a very well made and well thought out product. After reading some other reviews I was worried that I may get an "ugly" product, but I couldn't be happier, and mine is far from flawless. In fact I have even enjoyed looking at the flaws. I am a machinist by trade so not only can I see every flaw -- dull tooling that left abnormalities in the surface finish, places where the casting didn't quite clean up and they blended it with a file, marks from being mounted in a fixture -- but I can also appreciate the value in this product. There are several processes each of these go through to get all the machining done.To get an American made product of this quality, blemishes included, and at this low a price is really a testament to their efficiency. They obviously have their manufacturing processes well thought out and perfected. There is clearly a lot of work and materials that go into this product: from casting, to machining, and then assembly including all the other parts and fixtures, not to mention the engineering, safety testing, and inspection that must be done -- all while turning a profit, and Amazon in turn doing the same.You may get a lid with some pitting, (mine has a lot) but that is the nature of a sand casting. Yours may have some other dents or scrapes, but know that this was handled by American craftsmen, and has been in and out of a mill and a lathe, along with their work holding fixtures. I am not affiliated with All American products, but I know what its like to machine aluminum and castings. I sometimes get down on myself because I see every flaw in every part I make. Aluminum is especially hard to keep looking pretty because it is so soft. Every piece is different and responds differently because of internal stress, tooling, temperature, machine wear, rigidity, etc. There will be flaws, but when you step back and look at the product as a whole it's really quite impressive.

Este equipo casi industrial, es muy bueno para acelerar los procesos de enlatado o cocción, es de notar que es importante tener un enfriamiento paulatino del equipo y cuidar del manómetro incluido, excelente para aquellos amantes de la cocina.

Pressure canner is beautifully made. Works perfectly.

Detta är en fantastisk fin tryck konserverar! Jag har olika modeller, AA är den absolut bästa. Den är tung så man behöver en platta som klarar av det - mycket bra kvalitet - jag kommer inte behöva någon annan så länge jag lever. Jag rekommenderar denna över andra märken.

今迄は一般的なサイズの圧力鍋を使ってましたが、仕込む量が多いと一気に調理できなかった。日本製はめちゃくちゃ高いし。この商品は何しろデカい！取手まで金属で取手が火で溶ける事が無い！壊れる心配が無い！圧力が3段階選べる！カッコいい！等　いい事だらけです。場所をとるので置き場に困るのと、日本語の説明書が無いのが不満な所。しかし、普通に使う分には圧力鍋を使った事がある方なら　問題無く使えます。ちょっと違うのは、セットする時に蓋の接合部にバターや油を塗ってあげる事ぐらいかな。瓶詰めや缶詰を作る時の殺菌みたいなのを外国の方がレビューしてますが、説明書が英語オンリーなので良くわかりません。現在翻訳中です。翻訳出来たら載せようと思ってます。良い商品ですよ。追記アルミなので酢で煮込むものはアルミが腐食します要注意です　やってしまいました
