| Best pressure canner to purchase?? |
| (1/8) > >> |
| jrebel:
Gonna try my hand at canning meat and would like to purchase a good pressure canner. I would like a nice one that will last for many years / decades to come. Which brand / models are good? How big should a guy go? Any must have accessories for pressure canning? Thanks in advance for the input. Jrebel |

I have a presto (23 qt I think) that has been going strong for 25+ years. I can stack 2 layers of half pints in it but not pints. I would get one where you can stack 2 layers of regular pint jars. A canner rack will allow you to do that without stacking the jars right on top of each other (good accessory to have). If I had to buy a new one, I'd go with an All American 30 qt. Not cheap though. Probably 3 times the cost of the Presto. It would outlive you most likely. |

Presto is pretty much standard. Bigger is better. |

I have an All American and would recommend them. They all have both the jiggle weight and gauge which is handy as well as no gasket to damage or lose. They are made in the US and should last several lifetimes. I have the 921 and it works well for my needs, although if you can afford it and have the storage space, bigger is usually better. |

Buck $ up and forget about it for ever. |
