Okay....so firstly...you're adorable! Thanks for the good info.
You are so welcome!
As a mechanic I was pretty disgusted with the quality of today's pressure canners,
Thin folded metal used as a latch for the tops, Hard to find gaskets that will need to be replaced.
I caught my wife in a good mood and Quickly made an amazon purchase(all american 921)
Best money I've ever spent, I made a years worth of spaghetti sauce at one time with the summers end garden tomatoes and it is the best I have ever tasted compared to any store bought sauce,
I'm growing tomatoes for this years spaghetti sauce!
how long between batches? How many years have you had the all american pot?
Noemí Vidal, I'm on my third season for canning tomatoes and sauce, Now my real problem is growing enough tomatoes, One batch of spaghetti sauce can use 30 pounds of tomatoes at once but that was enough sauce for almost a year, And was AMAZING.
Ive done chicken soup, split pea soup, Hot peppers for nachos, these were all excellent, I wont try ground beef because I hear it's not too good.
Glad you had the money.. I use a Presto.. It was an economic AND as I am 71, a weight decision. I could by 3 Prestos for one AA 921. I can lift my canner fine now, but I know in a couple of years, an AA would have been too heavy. Both can fine AND the Presto has a 25 year warranty.
Robert Wade, Apparently these have skyrocketed in price since I made that comment,
This year I didn't have time to tend my garden and so no canning.
I’m so glad I bought my All American 921 a few years back, before all of this uncertainty about the food supply. It cost only $179 - and free shipping. Yesterday, I noticed the price increased to $379. Now, jars and lids are ridiculous, and not so easy to find. I had good luck at Ace Hardware. Thanks for this video 😊
Can confirm, had great luck at Ace Hardware for supplies and also in second tier big box grocers (United, Albertsons, HEB, etc) in areas not typical for canning (urban areas, areas away from rural edges, different ethnic areas etc). No dice at the primary big box stores (Walmart, big fancy new HEB, Market Street, etc)
suggestion... Other things to consider is - do you have enough room on your stove above the canner... Many homes have a low hood or microwave there and the canner is so close you can't take the lid off... Check with your glass top stove manufacturer to see if canning on it voids the warranty. As she pointed out, some canners like the All American is heavy.. CAN you lift the addition weight. Most canners say don't use on a stove burner over 12000 BTU. Many outdoor propane stoves are triple that... IF you have one of those, you can have it changed out to a lower pressure regulator or you can get a flame spreader to spread the heat over the whole bottom of the canner... Note that some of the jet type propane burners can melt a hole in the bottom of you canner. Make sure you oil the gasket on your mirro or Presto canner when you use it... On the All American make sure you follow directions for lubing the seal area... If you don't you may get a lid that is stuck on and almost impossible to remove. read the manual... THEN read it again the next day.. Identify all the parts and were they go. THEN do your first canning session with water in jars with lids and rings. Make sure your manual is open to the step by step proceedure and follow it..
Good tips
I have been watching videos on canning for 2 years. You are the first person that explained the difference between water canning and pressure cooking...also pressure canner and pressure cooker...THANK YOU.
Glad it was helpful!
Update: my husband watched this video and is now determined to get the all american in the video. I can't thank you enough for putting out these videos.
I think you will love your canner. They are so well made and will last many lifetimes.
Great video! Answered all my questions. Now I’m looking for a good deal on one. Thank goodness my mom can teach me even though I want to get my own pressure canner
My girlfriend told me about pressure canning last week, first I heard about it. I've preserved some jams and apple sauce before. Usually I put the cans in the oven after filling.
I first tried to find an All American canner here in Sweden, no luck, then I looked in other European countries, no luck there either.
So I had to order one on ebay, an All American 925, it was extremely pricey, the freight alone was $225. But I see it as an investment in our family, we can expand our garden plots and preserve everything we don't eat directly. And hopefully it will become an family heirloom for at least a couple of generations to come.
I'm really looking forward to start canning.
I wonder, can you can on a wood stove?
We have a glass induction stovetop, but also a wood stove in the kitchen.
I guess we'll get a gas camping stove and do our canning in a tent out in the garden.
Looking forward to watching your other videos, thanks for putting in the time and effort.
It will become an heirloom. Wow, that is expensive shipping.
Hi Markus,
Some issue in germany and switzerland! Incredible how this knowledge has faded away in Europe ! Also looking where to buy one
Cheers from Pennsylvania Blessings 👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🎚🎚🎚
I did a search canning and it found you. I am so glad it did. I just so happened to purchase an All American pressure cooker.
Now I am going to watch your pressure canning for beginners because despite my age I have never done it. I have everything I need to get started. Thank you.
Wonderful! Happy canning!
Thank you! It is a bit daunting to get started. This was helpful.
Perfect timing and so informative! I was thinking about getting a canner. I already have a stove top pressure cooker I think I was 60 when I got it. I was scared to death because of my mother screaming at me when I was a kid to stay out of the kitchen, it can kill me lol. The new ones do have a lot of safety on them, so I was glad to learn about the canner too!
They really are much safer now
@@PrepperPotpourri I know the pressure cookers are a lot safer and never thought about the pressure canners until your video. Thank you for educating me on canners. I do love my pressure cooker and am not afraid of it at all lol.
You have a great demeanor! You could definitely have your own cooking show. :)
There are a lot of canning videos on you tube that promote unsafe canning practices. Rose Red Homestead is an excellent resource. Pam has a PhD and has taught science for many years and promotes safety.
I just read the manual of my pressure canner when I first got mine and it got me started and kept me safe. Really great video, PP! It's funny, I always thought a pressure canner and cooker were the same, but after wanting to buy my pressure canner realized they were far from the same. Thanks for all the great info!
I think a lot of people think they are the same.
"Great Aunt Bulla".....lol!!!
That is when I hit like/subscribe. LOLLLL
My new All-American pressure canner is coming today and I'm so glad I found you today! I am excited but I won't lie because I'm a bit nervous too. My aunt and grandma used a pressure cooker most of the time and I have heard all of the warnings so I am apprehensive. Going to watch your canning for beginners. Thanks so much for the info!
You got this!
Although, I love the mac daddy the 921 All American, it is out of my budget, so Presto it is! Thanks for helping me to decide as I am not working due to covid. A meal in a jar made by me is more appetizing than any canned soup out there! When I can I will save for a canner unless black Friday proves to be in my favor. I very much appreciate your advice!
Thank you! Just getting ready to buy a pressure canner so appreciate your good information.
Happy canning!
I had one of the new ones, and the seal unlocked and had pressure in it. I leaned over it to save my 5 year old sons face because he refused to get out of the kitchen. Worst pain I have ever been in . I just ordered a All American Canner Pressure Cooker 41.5 Qt. Going to get back to it
Yes, I love my All-American
@@PrepperPotpourri ppppppppppppppppppppppppp0000p000p0000p0p0000000
I finally got mine..(21.5qt). I'm looking forward to pressure canning. This lady makes me feel so confident. Thank you dear one...for posting these videos.
Happy canning!
My God…you remind me of my Mother. God Bless you and cheers from Ottawa, Canada 🇨🇦
Cheers!
Thank you! I first watched your canning video a few months ago. I've owned a pressure canner for 20 plus years and it sat new in the box. I finally got up the nerve today to can some fresh corn. It's not that hard, I'm now ready to move onto a variety of things I've wanted to can for years! Thanks again!!!
Glad you tried it. Happy canning!
thank you, I could listen to u talk all day, ur voice is so calming ...but Aunt Bueller???lol 😅 whaaaa?! !
I got a presto 23qt that I have been using for when I double stack pints, since 2012, it is still going strong on the original gasket. It is nice because it is light and I store them in the basement, so I have to carry it up and down the stairs. I also have an old National/Presto No. 7 that I got at a thrift store for $5 about the same time in 2012, it's it my work horse canner that stays out in the kitchen from Late July through October where I am normally canning a load each night from the garden. I put a new gasket on it 10 years ago when I got it, but it still working with that gasket as well. I have a spare for each on though, just in case. Usually in Mid August for a couple of week, I have them both running at the same time as well as a water bath canner.
I have 4 pressure canners. I have the same one you have and use it for when we can large animals. The smaller one I use when I only have small batches of whatever lol. I think my small canner holds up to 8 jars.
Thank you for your videos!!! Very well done!
Thanks for watching!
abedabun dawn hi- what type is ur smaller canner? Ty
Thanks for you honesty.
God bless you and your family.
I have also used my AA PC on my glass cooktop with no problems.
I also recommend buying an AA. They're made in USA, and there is never a gasket to replace. They are also available used on eBay and FB BST as well at LetGo.
I recently bought a NIB 921 at an auction for $81. Now I'm thinking about selling a few of my other AA. I have about 6, only want to keep 2, but then, I think a new lid alone would cost me what I'd get for a used AA PC, so I don't know.....lol
Good info. Thanks.
They look great and all my only problem is you can get 4 _new_ Presto 23 quart P.C.'s with gauge for the same price as 1 _used_ A.A.
I will gladly concede they are of superior quality but are they really 4 times better?
If money is no object sure get the A.A. It will likely give you a lifetime of consistent service. But I don't like seeing people discouraged from canning because they think a $60 presto is somehow not good enough, and can't afford to spend $300+ on a "real" caner. I now own my grandmothers presto caners and love them, they are 50+ years old, were very heavily used, and look like new.
By no means am I trying to be disagreeable just know that many are in a tight financial situation that could get bummed out thinking they need to drop hundreds up front just to get into pressure caning.. I love this channel and all the wisdom within!
We would like to buy an All American Pressure Canner once it becomes available. Thank you, your video was very helpful. We are growing most of our own food and would like to preserve our harvest and extend our pantry. Thanks for sharing!
Good morning. You are my first pressure canner selection video. Made in U.S.A., SOLD! I will check out the rest of you vids. Thanks
Thanks for watching, Brad
It's easy to see from your videos just how much the price of pressure canners especially the All-American 921 has risen. Seems April 2018 the price on Amazon went from 280 to 320. Then after JBS Foods got hacked it's jumped another $60 and now the exact canner is $380 😕
Keep up the great work, and thank you for actually mentioning prices in your videos👍
$419 today
I’m enjoying this nice video and this nice ladies advice about 1 minute and 30 seconds after I bought my first pressure canner.
Glad to hear it. Happy canning!
Awsome video ma'am! Thank you for sharing some of your knowledge. You got yourself a new subscriber!
i appreciate it. Thank YOU!
I wish we we're in the same neighborhood! Great Video!
60 seconds in and I already like this lady.
You made me smile

Great advice! Happy canning! I have 4 All American canners, I can can anywhere from 4 pints to 18 pints at a time. I am so glad someone took the time to do a video like this.
You go, Gal!!!
I got Kitty a water one but she's scared of pressure canning. Have to show her this one. Thanks PP
Tell her she can contact me anytime
Thank you, thank you, thank you! HUGE help!
Love this one too. I’m learning like crazy
Music to my ears
I now have 2 All American canners. They're worth their weight in gold. Nothing to replace, and basically fool proof, but you're right..... some meat such as hamburger has a different texture, but it's not bad when mixed with taco seasoning. However, beef chunks and chicken, and even bacon and sausage are delicious! I used your recipe for canning chicken stew for pot pies, and your orange and bourbon chicken more times than I can count because we go through it faster than most anything else I can. It's hard to find ready to eat "gourmet" recipes, and am so grateful for your tutorials.
I love my All-American too. I'm glad your family likes the chicken canning recipes.
@macks Smith - It's fantastic! But I highly suggest you have a special hiding place for it. 🤣
Do you oil your lid? Or vaseline, petroleum jelly? So that the dont get stuck?
Brenda Mark I’ve never used Vaseline but some people do. I oil the lid and the rim of the pot with cooking oil every time. I’ve also used coconut oil. After putting the lid on, I’ll twist it back and forth a couple time to make sure everything is greased before locking the lid. If your lid does get stuck, all you need to do is place a flat head screwdriver between the lid and pot, then pull down a bit. Works every time. 😉
My grandmother's pressure cooker exploded when I was a kid. Food on ceiling and everywhere. It was a real thing. I am in my 60s so that was a long time ago.
What a mess!
Hi. Happy new year. Thumbs up #10👍 with Full view n watched ads too😊Am trying to learn new things in the new year n I like this convienence for easier home cooked meals. My 87yrs old granny has a pressure cooker but not a canner. I remember the days when I saw all types of foods in old mason jars from my Great granny (Gramums mum) who lived to be 99 back in her day. Especially stewed tomatoes👍 Anyhoo thank u for sharing n teaching. Your video is helpful. Peace n blessings to you and your family dear heart💕🙋🏻🐕
I hope I inspire you to try canning
Very thorough presentation,just got the exact same model by all American and am looking forward to many wonderful years...thanks so much,
Happy canning
Good intro to pressure canning video. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent video! Love how you are just full of information without babbling on about other things like some do.
Glad you liked it!
I took a canning class through Virginia Co-op Extension and was told to never move the canner. To just turn off the stove and let it cool until you could hold your hands to the side.
Wow that was perfect. All the questions I had as an absolute beginner answered concisely. Your not just a pretty face
Wow, thank you!
Go to @6:25 . Note Pressure cookers are not meant for canning. Use a canner for canning. Water canning is for high acidic foods. Pressure canning is for low acidic foods.
Thanks for sharing I was getting concerned for your fingers at the end afraid the lid was going to get ya if it closed on them. Thanks for sharing again enjoyed watching
Hi, perfect timing. I have been thinking about getting a pressure canner. I am going to watch your beginning canning video and hopefully I will feel comfortable in trying to can. Marcia
Happy canning!
You made a great video here, but please beware of other self proclaimed "experienced" preppers who demonstrate canning on RUclips. I have seen 2 recent canning videos where bad advice was given. One video had a gal putting the lid on her AA canner incorectly. You can tell she never read the manual. The other did a chicken canning video that was full of bad info and her end result was a jar with more head space than product. For other good AA videos, see Linda's Pantry on RUclips. She is terrific. I have 2 All American canners, a 910 and a 921. Love them both.
I do subscribe to Linda's Pantry, Mouse Toes, Our Half Acre Homestead and other canning channels. I highly recommend them.
@@PrepperPotpourri thanks
Howdy, I like your video. Its real nice. I've been canning green beans and corn in big galvanized tubs in water bath over a fire for over fifty years and never poisoned anybody. I do got a pressure canner but its real old from the 40s it still works but Im sick of fighting with that crazy lid to get it on right to lock it, so am looking for a modern one and like the looks of yourn. thank you kindly for the information and advice. Mountain MawMaw Mingo county West Virginia
I think you will love an All American canner. The lid goes on easily.
Thank You cheers from Pennsylvania Blessings 🎚🎚🎚👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏
You're good at this!
Very helpful video. I’ve been thinking about pressure canning and your video covered any questions I had very well. Thanks for being up front about the taste change with some things. Paul L.
Glad it was helpful!
Glad I found your video, im about to start canning. Gonna have to go with Presto as the All American prices have skyrocketed apparently. Thanks for the info!
Good luck! You CAN do it :)
For any questions to the company go to All American Canner 1930, not just All American Canner.
For those outdoot propane pc's the maximum BTU's for my Presto 16qt. = 12,500, I lookef at am All American and it was only 12k BTU's all the modern propane cookets are starting at anout 40k btu's - how ate they not ruining their PC's?
Very very good explanation
First time ever getting ready to purchase a canner. Very informative. I do have a glass top stove though. So that being said maybe outside or getting a smaller canner.
I think the all american is the "cadillac" of canners. And the cost for the gaskets for the presto and others will add up to a lot of money over the years!
Smart lady. This was just the info I needed. I check like and subscribed. Looking forward to learning more.
Thank you for your help and support
WONDERFUL information. Thank you. ❤
great video with lots of important information.
Wonderful video! So helpful and lovely personality!! Thanks for this video!
Hey thanks for the helpful info! I bet your the BEST granny ❤️
new subscriber here... I have really enjoyed your videos!!! Thank you for all your info. I am new to canning - only water bath canned a few things. (thanks, coronavirus!) I am now wanting to buy a pressure canner!! Hugs, from Mesa, AZ
Awesome! Thank you!
Another informative video from you...Thank you Mrs Potpourri!
Glad it was helpful!
Another GREAT video! Thanks
Always a it when in need of a spot on reference! Thanks
Love this thing and it is very well made for the price
Wow I want to have this to my kitchen it's very helpful to star a business
Thank you, great information re pressure canner. Regarding the ground beef comment - try cooking then dehydrating it. In my opinion, the ground beef somehow tastes better rehydrated (Tacos mostly) than fresh cooked?? No idea why. Thanks again.
Can you cook your meals in an Instant Pot then can it in a water bath? Would that keep the flavor and texture? I never canned because as a child my mother almost lost her life from a canner so she never taught me.
Thank you. I am researching in order to buy a pressure canner. I have a water bath but want to can more of a variety of foods than it affords me. I also would like to can venison. That's something new for me. Thank you, I will be going to more of your utube videos.
Welcome to the channel :)
Very useful information. Thanks for sharing.
Great video, I sure wish I could talk my wife into doing this. I might give it a try myself, I really want to do canning for our preps. How long will canned items last as far as shelf life? Is it more cost effective than buying goods from prepping stores?
You should try it. I know a lot of men who can their own venison. Canning your own food is more cost effective than buying freeze dried food. However, the shelf life is quite different. The experts say you should rotate your canned food and use within 12 months. That being said, I have used meat I had canned 3 years before. My understanding is that nutrients can be lost the longer a jar sets on a shelf.
@@PrepperPotpourri Thank you for the info, I am going to give it a shot.
I’m very thankful I found this video! Thank you! 🖤🖤🖤🖤💜💜💜💜💜
Happy canning!
You explain things really well! Super helpful and I’m following your page
Awesome, thank you!
I was wondering what the difference was between water bathing and canning, now I know. I'm starting to grow mushrooms and in the market for a pressure cooker. At first for sterilization but also for canning. The AA are expensive...wow, they have gone up in price since you made this video. I would like it to be at least 23 quarts or so, not sure if I can afford anything larger. I enjoyed the video and look forward to watch others you created. Thank You very much !!
You are so welcome!
Thanks ma’am for the info. Loved ur overview of the pressure canner
Glad it was helpful!
I just got an All American Canner at a Thrift store for $40. It has the original owners manual and internal tray. I did some research, it has a H-46 on it, so I believe it means it was made in August 1946. I found no dates or model numbers on the book or the canner. The back of the manual has 6-46 in the lower left, but that is all. There was also a test from the extension office in 1994 saying the canner is good, but the gauge is bad. I also did a test with boiling water and it seemed to work as described. I have ordered a new gauge, vent pipe and pressure weight from the Red Hill site as well. Do you have a video recommendation for re-fitting older All American canners and using them?
I don't. I am sorry.
Great video
Wish I could’ve heard you whilst you were steaming
thank you very much ,mam great info.
Thank You for the valuable information!
You are so thorough. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Just what I needed. Thank you.
Glad it helped!
Skip to 6:19. Info starts there.
Dr. Ruth Westheimer is into canning?!! Who knew?
Don't be disrespectful, you could save that bad joke, considering this lady is teaching a serious issue for survival.
@@levenusine5095 You should ban humor. Who am I disrespectful to? This lovely canning lady? Or a great and brilliant Doctor who’s helped hundreds of thousands of people?
@@catlady8324 Do not be hypocritical, you are not comparing these people for their achievements but because you find it humorous to compare their personal appearance. Humor seems fine to me, but it has its place.
@@levenusine5095 Go be “Offended” someplace else. There is NOTHING wrong with saying she simply looks like Dr. Ruth. In fact it’s a compliment because the Doctor was a smart, charming and attractive lady. You need another cause to crusade, like perhaps straws or climate change. Good luck with all that. 🤦♀️
Correction, Dr. Ruth still is a great lady. Do you hate German Jews? At 10 she fled Germany from the Nazis. They killed her parents. At 17 she was a Haganah sniper defending Israel against Palestine and was wounded in action. Her radio and TV show had Millions of listeners. She wrote 45 books and is still giving lectures on medical and holocaust subjects. She is a great woman and you should spend a few weeks researching her life and then report back here to teach us about her amazing life.
So glad I found your video! Thanks. 😀 subscribed!
You are wonderful. Thank you for the tips.
Based on watching your video I finally have the courage to try. I bought mine and am waiting for delivery. The only things I can't figure out is what my elevation is. Looked up online but I haven't come across anything that explains to me what it is. Any suggestions?
You can find your elevation here: veloroutes.org/elevation
The National Center for Home Food Preservation has you compensate for this temperature differential is by increasing processing time. Here’s the guide for making these adjustments.
1,001 to 3,000 feet, add 5 minutes
3,001 to 6,000 feet, add 10 minutes
6,001 to 8,000 feet, add 15 minutes
8,001 to 10,000 feet, add 20 minutes
I have the same question 👍
I want that, I'm buying it today
Happy canning!
@@PrepperPotpourri I have 4 more weeks to wait for its delivery.
It feels like forever.
Your video was informative and your delivery adult.
Thank you
Thank you.
Great info! Great info! Thanks you......AGAIN! 😊
Thank you very much! It was educational...
Does canning food also cook it at the same time. I wanna can some Salmon so I can eat it right when I open the jar
It does cook it but for safety reason you should reheat for 15 minutes.
Thanks for the meat point.
Excellent! Thank you!! Following!
Thank your for this great informative video! :)
