We’ve had a cheaper one for a few years, have had good success with some things and poor results with others.
But I’m curious to hear from someone who upgraded to a higher end unit. Was it worth the expense? 800-1100$ for a canner is a lot of money....
Nagol or ... so what’s the make and model of the cheaper unit you say works? Thinking of getting one but don’t feel like spending a grand, spent so blasted much this year!
I have a Presto pressure canner, I paid 150 at HH a few years ago.
Thanks learner 👍🏻 Will check it out for sure

Well it looks like I am late to the party. Just went to order one on line at HH and no stock. Looked on amazon, same thing..no stock.

Just wild.
Shame because we are happy with ours. If you do luck in, order in a spare.. gasket and any internal do dads / racks to help The process. Keep plugging
peppercorn, try Peavey Mart. They carry them too.
Peppercorn.. if you really want a pressure canner this year.. look at the all american.. they cost 3 to 5 times more then the presto's but they do not need the seals and they will outlast you.. they are insane work horse's but most folks can not afford them.. nor can their stoves carry the weight (remember glass top stoves and pressure canners do not mix well) so they might still be available..

Ok, I will take a look at those, I should be in the city sometime in the next few days. Why when I see the specs of the pressure canners do I see them list how many pint and quart jars they hold but I dont think I have seen a spec for how many 1/2 gallon jars they hold (1.9 liter size) I have a huge amount of half gallon jars and want to be able to use them.

morning that would ecause half gallons are not considered safe by the canning centers they are storage jars for dried goods or they are used for fermenting .. not for active canning.. so the canner are not built for them nor give the stats for them.. sorry

Peppercorn. Et al: Below is a link to what we found as a very good company. We brought in a bread maker for One of our children as a Christmas present. Very friendly, prompt email responses and delivery was as promised. Plus it’s canadian. Best of luck to all.

I have screwed up big time then, as I have been been buying a case each time I am at CT. I could have swore I had watched some u tubers canning with them. Is it possible that there is miss-information on youtube?
Was in HH and Peavey Mart, both out of canners. That link you posted Clarence, shows every model on back order.

The 25 quart size All American Canner looks to be a reasonable size to start out with as a beginner .
