Presto 1781 23-Quart Aluminum Pressure Cooker/Canner
I couldn't come to a decision between the Presto or the All American, so I bought them both, intending to send one back. At the time I placed my order, Amazon was not selling the All American 921, so I had to state of affairs it from an outside vendor. I have only done boiling water bath canning before and had some fears of pressure canners. Reading the negating reviews of the Presto unit, where reviewers describe pressure gauges fly across the kitchen, etc., did not help. The All American canner is built like a tank, I have much more coolness in it than the Presto. I didn't actually use the Presto canner before deciding to send it back, so can't speak to its performance, but had I been able to parallel these two units side by side in a store, I definitely would have chosen the All American (and saved the twelve dollars it cost to return the Presto canner to Amazon).
if you can...
This is an bar product for canning. We have previously owned a presto until it wore out and will likely do the same with the next. Large size lets you use many jars 1qt or larger.

It arrived as promised. Worked best. Fit 7 quarts.
It canned! What else can you say.
Loving my canner!
After reading reviews here I incontestable to purchase the Presto 23 qt pressure canner. I am thrilled with it! I have been canning so many different foods and it had been fun and easy to do. I look unabashed to being able to feed my family foods that are free from additives and preservatives. The only suggestion I have to make is this - if you buy this canner go ahead and buy the extra canning rack and pressure regulator at the same time. The instruction booklet says that two layers of pint jars may be placed in the canner, with the flash level staggered on top of the first. The jars tend to move around during the canning process and I was afraid they would fall and break and havoc a batch of food. The second rack eliminates this problem. The second concern I had was the constant warnings that the pressure evaluate could be inaccurate, which would lead to unsafe jars of food. With the additional pressure regulator set for 10 lbs I was pleased to see that it began rocking at the same circumstance the gauge read 10 lbs. Now I know if the gauge becomes inaccurate I will immediately know. I am processing a lot of vegetable soup right now - 7 quarts. :-)
