All American Pressure Canner
So, you’ve planted a garden to kick-start a new self-sufficient lifestyle. With many vegetables in large quantities coming up over the spring, summer, and fall, how will you keep them all without consuming them at once? One efficient strategy that many sustainable livers use is pressure canning, which is deemed the safest method by the USDA for home canning.
When using any type of pressure canner, make sure to place the food in jars before - never place the food directly into the equipment. Once the jars are inside, the pressure canner uses steam to cook and preserve it, and this method is quicker than cooking the food directly. After the foods are fully cooked and canned, they will last in a preserved state for up to two years at room temperature.
The All American pressure canner is one product that helps you with preserving vegetables and various meats for future use. All American pressure canners - also referred to as pressure cookers - have the ability to prepare large amounts of foods for canning. Nearly all low-acid foods, ranging from meats, poultry, and fish to vegetables, can be prepared with an All American pressure canner.
What makes this pressure canner so unique? All American canners use a metal-to-metal sealing system, in which positive action clamping locks line up the cover to base and form a tight seal. No gasket is involved, and the cover for the canner is easily opened and closed. Additionally, all All American pressure canners use a readable pressure gauge to give you the most accurate pressure control.
All American pressure cookers and canners are available in several sizes. The smallest size is 10.5 quarts and the largest 41.5 quarts. This large size is able to hold up to 41.5 quarts of liquid inside, 32 pint jars, or 19 quart jars. When it comes to the most popular All American canner, however, the 21.5 quart size is the most popular with consumers. Additionally, various accessories and parts to these canners are sold separately.
