A pressure cooker is generally recommended when canning vegetables and nonacid fruit, since the high heat that can be generated will kill more bacteria than a regular hot water bath. Made from cast aluminum, with sturdy screws to seal the lid to the pot, this pressure cooker requires no rubber or plastic gaskets or rings. Its 15-1/2-quart capacity holds 10 pint jars or 7 quart jars. A three-setting pressure regulator valve is included, and the pressure gauge gives a clear reading. Made in Wisconsin, this is an American classic. --Julija Gelazis

This review is from: All-American 15-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner (Kitchen)
I purchased this canner for a big canning job - 300 lbs. of pumpkin. While it is impressively crafted and heavy (it is built like a nuclear containment vessel), my Mom's 30 year old Presto Deluxe canner kicked this thing's can (no pun intended). The metal on this canner is unbelievably thick and it is quite heavy. Because of this it takes forever to come up to pressure, (with all that heavy metal it acts like a big radiator) and it takes longer to cool down - hours, literally. This also means it is much less efficient (more gas/electricity required to can). I could cycle almost four times in the old canner to two cycles of this one. The gasketless metal-to-metal seal was fussy, very easy to seat incorrectly, and despite greasing the seat with vaseline every cycle it managed to stick every time making it difficult to open. This canner is probably adequate if you don't can much and you don't care about time or energy (gas/electric). While my Mom ooh'ed and aw'ed initially, in the end she deemed it unworthy of her kitchen. Mom has great instincts; I sent it back.
