Hi From Colorado Springs. 6000ft and above(we are hilly here) I've had All American canners for decades (925 &941)and will never go back. You've been watching videos, some will tell you to add some white vinegar to your water...give that a try. Your water is one of the things that will blacken your pot , the black won't hurt it. And what still amazes me is people I know just use it for pressure canning..it is a pot, more than capable for other uses. This might get some reaction but if you live in a coastal area put a very light coating of oil, like flax seed on it to keep it from pitting ( it can always be washed off). They are expensive and worth your time to keep as pristine as possible. Happy Life to you and yours.
Oh, remember to oil your sealing surfaces (rims) of your pot, they can be a bugger to get apart if you don't. All American advises this but you won't forget again if you don't.
$ 500.00 is not bad for a canner built by All American. That 930 canner will outlast you and your children. I say you made a excellent investment for the furture of Pressure Canning your homegrown vegetables and meats. Oh and our canners turned color also on the bottom. Best wishes to you and your family. ...............................................................................................Ken & Bev.

Thank you for the advice on adding some vinegar! I will definitely try it when I use it again. ❤️
Great investment, I have one same size. I was tempted to get the largest size, but this one weighs enough lol.
@@HiddenBlessingsHomestead I've had it for almost a year now and I love it so much. Definitely worth the investment. ♥️
@@desert.valley.homestead Yes I am still getting used to it, but I know it will be well worth the investment.
