All American 1930: 41.5qt Pressure Cooker/Canner (The 941) - Exclusive Metal-to-Metal Sealing System - Easy to Open & Close - Suitable for Gas or Electric Stoves - Made in the USA

This is my 2nd All American Canner. I wanted the 41 qt it and it is a game changer! It holds so much more than my 21 qt! It is heavy duty and well made. There just isn't another canner on the market that compares to All American! It is worth the money if you are canning! During the first use, the pressure gauge had some condensation. I called in and sent a photo. They shipped a new one out and it arrived 3 days later. The only other difference in this one vs my 21 qt is the canner racks. The ones sent with this are wire racks instead of the aluminum ones that came with my 21 qt years ago. The wire racks will rust so be sure to pull them out when you pull out the cans. I should be able to can all summer long.

This 41 quart pressure cooker is more like a full sized appliance, and certainly not grandma's stove top Presto cooker. The principals are the same however and if you have the space, intelligence to thoroughly follow important instructions, and the need for a huge pressure cooker/canner, THIS IS IT! I was nearly able to process an entire deer in one round of pressure canning with this pig. It's well built, reliable, really easy to use, and not scary at all if you FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. I am reviewing the the 41 quart version, and I assure you it does not fit on my stove top without hitting the exhaust fan shroud above....not that I would consider trying to use this unit on my stove top, but realize this thing is very large. I used a quality outdoor propane burner for heating this behemoth, and I do mean quality propane burner that has the ability to be well regulated for heating purposes. If you're a homesteader, hunter/fisherman, big gardener, etc., and time is important to you, AND you do your own canning, then this might be the unit for you. I have pressure canned HUGE volumes of vegetables in short order with this, once prepped to do so, it took far less time than a stove top pressure cooker. The actual process is easy, it's the preparation that is paramount when setting this unit up. Having your product ready to can, whatever that may be, jars/lids sterilized and ready, and room enough to proceed and finish without interference is the key. This unit, if properly maintained, could be potentially handed down for generations, it's that well built. Lock handles, lid, gauge, instructions, etc. are all high quality. PLUS, this product is made in the USA, which is a big bonus in my world...American people, American jobs, American product. I love this pressure cooker/canner and use it year round, mainly for summer vegetable and fish, and fall/winter game meat. Bottom line, if you're into doing your own pressure canning with VOLUMETRIC efficiency, I would recommend this product highly.

This is an absolutely beautiful Pressure Canner made right here in the USA. After a long while trying to decide which model to get I finally decided on the 41.5 quart. The first thing I did when the UPS driver left was to fill the canner with 19 empty Ball quart jars. They fit perfectly. My mother had an old Mirro pressure canner that would only hold 7 quarts. When she saw it her first comment was how much faster I'd be able to get the canning done. As far as quality goes I don't see how you could get any better. This thing screams American made quality. Every part seems to be heavy duty and the fit and finish are second to none. I think this will be something the family will be fighting over after I'm gone so I guess I better start deciding who I'm going to leave it to in my will. One thing to remember - this pressure canner is huge. You will probably have trouble fitting it on top of the stove in your kitchen unless you pull the stove out in order for the canner to clear the fan. I'll be using a Bayou Classic single burner patio stove outside in the garage when I do my canning. I've seen others do this on youtube and I think it's the way to go with this particular model. This canner weighs 39 pounds empty. It has good handles so if you need help two people could pick this up before you put water and jars in. It's my hope that more younger people get into canning and I think this is the canner to get if you really want to put up a years worth of food without spending a week in the kitchen. ***UPDATE*** 09/07/2014 I have had this pressure canner for two days and I just did my first batch. I canned 24 Ball widemouth PINT jars of pinto beans and ham. The following is my timing list... 1. @ 10:40am I lite the propane gas burner 2. @ 11:04am the first sign of steam appeared (I could have turned up the flame more and reached this point faster) 3. @ 11:12am a steady stream of steam was visible - I let this steady stream go on for 13 minutes which is a little longer than needed before I added the weight. 4. @ 11:24am the gauge was reading 5psi without my adding the weight (10psi setting on the weight at my altitude - your setting may be different) 5. @ 11:25am I put the weight on using the 10psi setting 6. @ 11:28am the pressure reached 10psi 7. @ 11:30am the pressure gauge was reading just over 11psi which is perfect for my altitude - at this point I had to turn down the propane burner so low that the flame was barely able to maintain itself. That means it uses very little propane once it reaches temperature. 8. @ 1:00pm exactly 90 minutes after the pressure gauge was reading 11psi I turned off the gas burner. 9. @ 1:40pm the pressure gauge had returned to 0psi 10. I removed the weight and then carefully removed the lid and placed it on the same towel that I used to put the jars on. It took 3 hours for me to go from lighting the burner and then going back to 0psi after 90 minutes of processing. Not bad at all. All 24 of the jars did perfectly. I did not watch to see how long the contents of the jars continued to boil. I wanted to give out this information about my first experience with this canner because this is all the information I wanted to know before I decided to purchase the model 941. I am extremely happy with this purchase and will be recommending this size pressure canner to everyone.

Este equipo casi industrial, es muy bueno para acelerar los procesos de enlatado o cocción, es de notar que es importante tener un enfriamiento paulatino del equipo y cuidar del manómetro incluido, excelente para aquellos amantes de la cocina.

Pressure canner is beautifully made. Works perfectly.

Surprisingly very fast delivery, only 5 days. Works as advertised, built like a tank, have already canned 4 kilos of tuna. It’s not as heavy as it looks, for reference a 30cm Dutch oven is a lot heavier. I am using Le Parfait jars half pint equivalent and I could have done 3 stacks, so I suggest you invest in a third rack. Highly recommend you do a test run with just water before you can anything to get a feel for it. My first run had water bubbling out from the sides, that was using olive oil. My second test run using Vaseline was impeccable and as a result is my go to method. I hesitated between the 921 and the 930, the color was the determining factor for me, it just stands out in the kitchen, I also don’t plan on double stacking quart size jars.

Detta är en fantastisk fin tryck konserverar! Jag har olika modeller, AA är den absolut bästa. Den är tung så man behöver en platta som klarar av det - mycket bra kvalitet - jag kommer inte behöva någon annan så länge jag lever. Jag rekommenderar denna över andra märken.

今迄は一般的なサイズの圧力鍋を使ってましたが、仕込む量が多いと一気に調理できなかった。日本製はめちゃくちゃ高いし。 この商品は何しろデカい！取手まで金属で取手が火で溶ける事が無い！壊れる心配が無い！圧力が3段階選べる！カッコいい！等 いい事だらけです。 場所をとるので置き場に困るのと、日本語の説明書が無いのが不満な所。しかし、普通に使う分には圧力鍋を使った事がある方なら 問題無く使えます。ちょっと違うのは、セットする時に蓋の接合部にバターや油を塗ってあげる事ぐらいかな。 瓶詰めや缶詰を作る時の殺菌みたいなのを外国の方がレビューしてますが、説明書が英語オンリーなので良くわかりません。現在翻訳中です。翻訳出来たら載せようと思ってます。良い商品ですよ。 追記 アルミなので酢で煮込むものはアルミが腐食します要注意です やってしまいました
