This heavy-duty pressure cooker's large capacity is probably best utilized for canning (though it would also be great for a number of cooking tasks). A pressure cooker is generally recommended when canning vegetables and nonacid fruit, since the high heat that can be generated will kill more bacteria than a regular hot water bath. Made from cast aluminum, with sturdy screws to seal the lid to the pot, this pressure cooker requires no rubber or plastic gaskets or rings. Its 15-1/2-quart capacity holds 10 pint jars or 7 quart jars. A three-setting pressure regulator valve is included, and the pressure gauge gives a clear reading. Made in Wisconsin, this is an American classic. --Julija Gelazis

 All American Pressure Cooker/Canner June 23, 2008
Ms. Roberta Marks (NM)
I used the canner to make large quantities of chicken soup. The screw down hinges are very safe. It is hard to make chicken soup in a traditional 8 quart pot because after adding the chicken etc., there is hardly any room for soup. I bought a 15 quart and a 21 quart. The pressure guage when a zero can be opened. The traditional ones are harder to know if it is safe to open, and a pain the carry to the sink and run water over it. These pressure cookers are the best thing ever.

I bought a presto and used it on my first canning job. Needless to say all 20 pints of my green beans did not seal. They were all wasted along with all the time it took to prepare them. I then went to the Amish store and bought an All American Canner! While Ms. Miller (unhappy poster) seemed a little mad that the canner was so thick, it made me happy to know it was sound and I did not have to worry about the lid blowing off with all of the All American's safety features. During the winter I can almost a whole beef in about a weeks time. I run two 21 qt. AA Canners on my glass top stove from 8 in the morning till 3 or 4 pm. I have never had a problem with the canner or the glass top stove. I am cautious not to drop my canner. I do not find putting the lid on difficult. You just have to do it evenly. Happy Canning!

In planning for the coming planting season we felt the need for a better pressure canner than the one we had. After a thorough product search we decided that the Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry Pressure Canner/Cooker appeared to meet our needs. We ordered the model 915 and after it arrived we were even more impressed with the precision workmanship and exceptional engineering that provided gasket free pressurization with three separate over-pressure monitoring and safety features. Let no one doubt the superiority of American made products and particularly the Wisconsion Alumnum Foundry pressure canner/cooker that promises to provide a lifetime of reliable service. The price is higher than one might expect but compared to the quality of design and operation it is an absolute bargain.

This thing is heavy and it is hard to wash. The lid is quite fussy, despite being well-lubricated with Vaseline. After several uses, the lid forms a vacuum each time and is very difficult to remove. It is also not as convenient to clamp down the lid compared to the modern lids that turn into place and use a gasket.
I gave this item two stars because it did perform as it should, but the issues with the lid make this thing very inconvient for me to use. It is also quicker to use my Presto canner rather than lubricating the seal on this one.
I will not be keeping this canner and I will use my Presto 16-quart instead.

This beast is awsome. If you are serious about canning, and have some shelf space for it, get this. Very solid design - should last at least 50 to 100 years. No seals or gaskets to replace. There is a rubber safety plug on the lid that will pop out if the vent gets plugged up, that way the thing can't explode on you!
