speaking of canning
« on: February 13, 2014, 01:39:02 PM »
I have a bunch of cabelas points saved and have been looking at a few things on the "wish list"
This is one of them. Good brand?? size considerations?? it comes in 15 and 21 qt model.
I have a tuna trip planned for this summer and hope to get a bear this year.

Thoughts?

Bigger is always better.  I would make sure whichever one you get, you can stack 2 rows of half pint jars in it.  2 rows of pints would be better.

Exactly.  It takes hours to do one batch.  Get a big one.

All-American is heirloom quality, with no seals to go bad.  That 21.5 qt is on my wish list and I keep my eyes open for them used.  I have the $80 cheap model (can't remember the brand name) from Fred Meyer and it works ok, but really want one of these as well.

You get a big bunch of canning to do and you'll definitely want to be running two canners at once.

I like the Presto 16 quart pressure canners.  They and the gaskets are cheap.  The larger units do not clear the microwave over my stove.  Ever try and pick up one of the filled larger units?  Too much for my old back.

Welcome aboard shipwreck!  I have the larger one, and you are right.  It can be a pain to move around when filled.

quadrafire, note that the model you linked to does is not intended for glass or ceramic stove tops and the 15.5qt version will not hold two rows of pints.

If you do not have a glass or ceramic stove top and want to spend your points, I would suggest the 21.5 version.

If you do have a glass or ceramic stove top I would suggest the Presto 23qt canner. It is about $80 with free shipping through Amazon. It will hold two rows of pints. This option will give you more points for your gun.

My canner wish list item number one would be the All American 41.5 quart canner. It holds 32 pint jars or 19 quart jars.

The Presto canner mentioned above can be used on a smooth/glass stove to. We have two and know a few people that have them and they work fine.

Here is a link.

I just spent three days canning tuna and venison and I agree bigger is better! Tuna stinks the house up pretty good and so the less times you have to run the canner the better IMHO.
