Top quality
By Big Jon
This is a top quality product built for serious home canning. The quality is apparent at a glance. It's an intimidating machine at first, but it's actually simple, safe and robust if you follow instructions. READ THE SAFETY RULES on the first page of the manual and follow them to the letter! The instruction booklet is comprehensive and easy to follow. This is an adult piece of equipment...made for responsible adults. If you don't follow the safety rules, you will damage or destroy your pressure cooker, and you may get hurt doing it.The only part of this machine that requires regular replacement is the safety plug. The manufacturer recommends replacing the plug every year or two before you start the season's canning. Also, the seal must be lubricated after every few runs with petroleum jelly. Other than that, you shouldn't need to buy any gaskets or parts to keep it running forever.This model can handle 19 pint jars or 7 quart jars or 4+ gallons of food for your next cookout and it's built to last a lifetime. If you are going to do any serious canning, don't waste your money on an inferior tool. This is a great choice.UPDATE: 24 March 2013I was using my canner yesterday to preserve hamburger and pork roast (I rarely freeze meat these days), I have not yet replaced my overpressure plug like you are supposed to do yearly, so I ordered one even though the one that came from the factory still seems to be in good shape. I decided to update my review.I have been using my pressure canner for 5 years now and have canned about 60 loads of jars total. It has held up well and looks pristine except for some staining inside. One of my clamp wing nuts stripped out a few years ago, (my fault...you don't need to crank them down tight, but I did). The clamp still works fine as is, but I went ahead and ordered a replacement. This canner is soldiering on nicely and shows no signs of quitting. Parts are easy to find if you need them. I am still very happy with this canner and recommend it highly.

By MadCanner
Buy one of these pressure canners for all of these reasons.* Made in USA* Metal to metal seal. No need to ever replace seal/gasket saves money in the future. Seals may have to be replaced annually and can cost up to 50$ plus s/h* Pressure/Temp gauge. Increased accuracy, saftey and reassurance.

By Catherine Dichner
I use this canner for making jams. It is fantastic! Really like that you can use 5, 10, or 15lbs of pressure for whatever you are making. I have even abused it on more than one occasion and it is still going strong. Even cooked several rice and meat dishes in here with great results. If the inside gets dirty I've found that the steel wool is a pain and doesn't do the job as well as the manufacturer says it will and has left scratches on the inside. I use Barkeepers Friend on a kitchen sponge or sponge/scrubber and it does a great job. Williams Sonoma recommends them with Calphalon pans as it doesn't scratch when used with a sponge. Works wonders on my cooker!
