Very well built

First off, Very fast shipping. Ordered on Saturday and recieved on Tuesday. We do a fair bit of canning. About 200+ pints/quarts per year. This canner is an absolute piece of craftsmanship. Very heavy and well built with an impeccable finish. The wire racks could use a few more rings for smaller pints and half pints but it is not a major issue. Great capacity which will make our canning much faster and easier. The heavy cast aluminum makes maintaining an even temperature very easy and I find I can use less gas to maintain the desired pressure compared to our old pressure canner. Very accurate weight and gauge makes getting the proper pressure a breeze. If properly cared for and maintained I can see this canner lasting generations. Expensive but definitely worth it for the serious home canner. Recommend highly.

I recently purchased this cooker thru Amazon. First unit had a serious enough 'ding' which caused me concern. I requested a replacement cooker. Amazon cross shipped w/o any problems. Amazon took care of return shipping as well. Am very pleased with replacement pot and Amazon's service.

I purchased the largest model because it provides ample room for pot-in-pot cooking where I can use a stainless steel pot. The first dish I prepared was a huge batch of chili with dry kidney beans in under 90 minutes!

I was concerned that the large pot will require too much of a gas flame to maintain the pressure but that is not the case. Once the selected pressure is reached, it can be maintained very efficiently.

The metal-on-metal was also an initial concern but it works flawlessly. That is a big plus - no rubber gaskets and replacements to worry about years ahead. The pot is extremely well constructed. It is precision 'machined' on the inside making it very attractive. Minor con - the 2 canning racks that come with the product do not do the pot justice. They could be better.

WARNING - the pot is VERY substantial in size, girth and weight. Purchasers should take this into consideration beforehand to make sure they can handle, use, clean and store it readily.

I highly recommend Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry's product as well as Amazon's shopping experience.

The All-American 41-1/2-Quart canner/Pressure Cooker, is one of the best investments I have ever made. Canning a weeks worth of supper, is quick and efficient afternoons work. Then I can have a hot nutritious meal ready to eat in just minuets. I have canned 60+ quarts of meat, chicken, hamburger, steak. 60+ quarts of pinto beans, talk about quick inexpensive re-fried beans. To can the beans, I soak the beans over night, then cook during the day in a 22 quart roster ovenRival 22qt Roaster. When I get home in the evening I put the beans in quart jars and add a teaspoon of salt, then put 18 to 20 quarts in my All American canner. While the total time for processing including loading the jars with beans to getting the jars out of the cooker is three to four hours, my time spent is only an hour. I have caned tomatoes, soups, stews, vegetables. I know I can feed my family, for less money, have meals ready to eat in just a moment. Or for that matter my children, 16,11,9 can fix dinner for the family.

I am going elk hunting, If I get an elk I will bottle it. This way even if the power goes out the food will be preserved.

If you are concerned about,healthy eating, cost of food, preserving food, emergency preparedness, being able to eat a good healthy meal when you only have a few minuets to fix it. Get one of these canners, I also have a 20 quart canner that cans 7 quarts at a time with the two canners I can can over 2 dozen jars at one time.
a must buy

Reviewer: gokiburi,
a must for pressure canning, excellent quality, and well worth the price
shipped with leaky pressure gage but called the product company and got a swift replacement by just one simple phone call. a plus was they didn't require I send proof of receipt and the now fogged gage back before they would consider replacement..
caution- this will not fit on the average electric stove but works quite well with propane burners, natural gas is not an option where we live and so I do not know if this would work on the standard gas stove, and it is HUGE and not exactly going to fit in the average kitchen cabinet
I agree with less than ideal racks that come with product but was able to find inexpensive racks that fit well and work with pints and half pint jars well at the local hardware store
the fact that you can have this arrive the next day for a few dollars through amazon prime is quite amazing considering the size of the product-
