This is one heavy duty well made unit. It’s not inexpensive but my grandkids will probably be able to use it. I’ve only used it once to make some boiled peanuts and it worked perfectly. I hope to do some canning soon which is why I initially purchased this item. The instruction manual is very comprehensive and helpful. I like the concept or not having a gasket to go bad or replace which is what attracted me in the first place. Plus it’s made in the USA and it’s evident the company takes pride in their product.

After searching the internet for a good pressure cooker/canner, I came across the All-American Brand. The more I researched for information on the cooker/canner, I realized this was going to be the one that I purchase. I read nothing but excellent reviews, the metal to metal gasket is what really sold me. I have only canned salsa, no real experience in canning so I didn’t want to mess with too many complicating gadgets in trying to can veggies from my garden for the first time. If I have to figure out gaskets and seals and a whole bunch of other stuff involved, forget it, my ambition for canning just went out the door… With The All American Brand, you know you are getting “Quality” that will last through generations of canning. Please, don’t even waste your time looking at other canners because they just can’t match up and you will be waisting your money. After using my canner, I look at canning in a whole new different aspect, it is Fun & Easy!

I needed to get a pressure canner in order to process foods that aren’t suitable for the standard water-bath method. After doing some research online, I found the All American line, which I believe is unequalled in construction and quality. Being involved in manufacturing for many years, I understand and appreciate quality and good engineering — especially from an American firm. It seems that almost all cookware comes from overseas, and a lot of it is built with price, not performance, as the prime design consideration.
Not so with the All-American. Photos don’t do justice to this product. When you open the box and lift it out for the first time, you’ll see what I mean. This thing is HEAVY. It looks like something you might see in a laboratory or commercial kitchen, although the manual specifically states it’s only for home use. I think it may have something to do with ambulance chasing lawyers and product liability, because this thing has more warning labels than any cookware I’ve ever seen.
In fact, at over 20 lbs. empty, this can be a problem for some people, my wife included. She simply can’t safely maneuver this baby around when it’s full. Forget about washing it. That’s MY job.
I really like the metal seal. Having a rubber seal on a pressure cooker go bad is a real pain, and you almost never seem to have a spare, or if you do, you can’t find it, and it’s not like you can run down to Wal Mart and pick one up even if you want to. At 15 to 20 bucks each for replacements, plus the hassle of picking them up, this will add up to real savings in cash and headaches over the many years you own this product. I can’t imagine anyone being able to wear one out with any reasonable care at all.
The dial gauge is high quality, and I found that it read very accurately in conjunction with the weighted pressure regulator. When the gauge reads 15 lbs., and the weight is set on 15 lbs., it rocks about 5 to 10 times per minute, which tells me that the pressure is very close to what the gauge says.
Using the six screw-down retainers, that lid is going nowhere. Between those and the gauge, the regulator, and the fail-safe pressure relief valve, this thing is about as safe as anybody could expect.
It’s a real pleasure to purchase a quality product from an American company. That’s exactly what you get from these All American canners. Those who understand manufacturing and what it takes to make a product right will know what I mean. It’s not cheap, but when you consider that it will probably outlast multiple cheap pressure cookers, it’s a great value. The way I figure, I’ve never looked back in regret for buying the best, but I almost always regret going cheap.
I can honestly say that this product rates my highest recommendation.

I have this cooker and I can cook a whole frozen turkey in 30 minutes, tasting just as good as smoking it all day in a smoker (same for frozen chickens). As I type this, I am making my owned corned beef and cabbage (without the nitrites! and preservatives)for st. patties day and is going to take me an hour to cook everything…. not four as the “traditional” way takes…
I also looked up aluminum cookware and now I am more convinced than ever, aluminum is completely safe to cook with! Whoever, cooked up that cock-a-many story about aluminum and Alzheimer’s was an idiot (and not to brag, but I have lots of science degrees and know what I am reading and understand it)….
This cooker is top quality, but if you can’t afford it, the ones with the rubbers stoppers are great too! Pressure cook away, and with aluminum…it’s a better much better heat conductor than stainless steel, nickel, or copper (which is definitely toxic)….
Pressure cook, Pressure cook, Pressure cook!

I’m considering purchasing an All-American canner but I have a glass cooktop stove. Don’t want to risk breaking my stove with the heavy canner so I’m considering purchasing a portabe electric burner (hot plate). Has anyone ever used the canner on a hotplate? Any recommendations on a good brand? Thanks.
