I believe the Prestos are cast or stamped aluminum. Someone upthread noted the All American are billet. |

Or go with an All American 1925X so when you decide to start growing mushrooms you will also have a pressure sterilizer. https://www.ebay.com/itm/All-American-Pressure-Steam-Sterilizer-1925X-25qt-24-Liter/222879743917?epid=1795817741&hash=item33e4aaffad:g:8KMAAOSwQUVaps6C |

I'm in a different camp than the "bigger is better" or getting one huge all American. I'd rather have two prestos, or even three. Two decent sized ones like their 23 quart models, and a smaller one. Easier to move, quicker to heat, and you can run them in stages. You get a big All American loaded up and it takes f.o.r.e.v.e.r to stabilize the temp inside and actually start your pressurized countdown, the presto's will already be rocking. My advice is start with a single 23 QT presto, if you find yourself wishing you had a bigger one just get two or three and assembly line them, or by then you might really know you want that all american 40qt, but the good thing is you'll have that smaller presto for smaller batches. |

Fair point. |

Been running Prestos for years. Bi Mart sells them cheap and they have parts such as seals for them if needed. As stated they heat up fast and perk right along. |
