All-American 921 Pressure Canner, Colors
The 921 (21.5 qt) canner on this page is identical to the original 921 All-American canner, except that it has a coated aluminum finish instead of a satin aluminum finish. The new color finish is a proprietary, premium cookware-grade coating that's specially cured for durability.
The 921 model is the only model that's currently available in colors.
Simply the best pressure canner
At Pleasant Hill Grain we're convinced that the All-American line of pressure canners/cookers is the world's finest, and by a wide margin. Made by the Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry since 1930, All-American canners are built with outstanding quality and features, and offer the busy cook many time and money saving advantages!
Home canning is a very popular way to preserve large or small quantities of quality food at home. The USDA recommends pressure canning to can meat, fish*, poultry and vegetables, and it's the only method that USDA recommends for preserving low-acid foods. Available in a wide range of sizes, All-American canners quickly and easily make lower-priced cuts of meat tender. Many nutrients and vitamins are saved when food is cooked in a pressure cooker, saving valuable nutrition that goes down the drain with other cooking methods.
One of the things we like best about All-American pressure canners/cookers is the exclusive, precision machined metal-to-metal lid sealing system that achieves a perfect seal without using a gasket. Positive-action clamping locks align the cover to the base, forming a steam-tight seal. Because no gasket is used, the cover is always easy to open and close. With other pressure canner designs the gasket is susceptible to cuts, burns, cracks and age hardening—any of which would bring your food canning operation to a halt. The gasket-free design eliminates those risks.
All-American pressure canners are made of thick cast aluminum, which is much stronger than the stamped-metal construction of most canners on the market. They're built to provide a lifetime of trouble-free service.
SHOULD ACIDIC FOODS BE PRESSURE CANNED?
To make things simpler you might be tempted to pressure-can all types of food, but that would be a mistake. Results are much better for jams, jellies, marmalades, fruit butter, fruit syrup, sauerkraut and pickled foods in a water bath, rather than under pressure. If these kinds of acidic foods are subjected to high heat, their color, flavor and texture will suffer. The good news is, pressure canners may also be used for the water bath method(by not pressurizing), so you’ll kill two birds with one stone by purchasing a pressure canner.
Easy to use
To pressure can, jars are filled with alkaline foods—such as carrots, squash, green beans, okra, corn, etc., or any meat—then placed in the pressure vessel with a few inches of water. Unlike the water bath method, the jars of food inside a pressure canner aren’t submerged in water; the canner’s directions and your recipe will tell you how much water is required to achieve the right pressure.
All-American canners are "weighted-gauge" canners. The provided pressure regulator weight can be installed on the canner's vent pipe in any of three positions marked for 5, 10 or 15 pounds of pressure. When pressure reaches the chosen level, the regulator weight makes a noticeable and distinctive sound. Stove heat is then adjusted so the regulator weight jiggles between one and four times per minute. Cooking time is counted from the first jiggle. It's that simple! With a little experience you'll learn what position to put your stove's burner at for the type of job you're doing, and the needle-type pressure gauge provides another handy pressure indication.

All-American Canner Specs
For pressure cooking, the amount of liquid each cooker holds varies with the model. Model 921 holds 21.5 quarts, which is large enough to handle 19 pint jars (double stacked) or 7 quart jars. The original satin aluminum canners are available in a 21.5 quart size as well as: model 910 which holds 7 pint jars or 4 quart jars and model 915 which holds 10 pint jars or 7 quart jars. Model 925 holds the same number of jars as the 921 but holds more liquid. Model 930 holds up to 19 pint jars or up to 14 quart jars, and model 941 holds up to 32 pint jars or up to 19 quart jars.
Stovetops
The 921 All-American canners may safely be used on glass cooktops .
The canners can be used on either gas or electric stovetops.
None of the All-American canners can be used on induction stovetops.
*Important Usage Notes
While many pressure cooker owners use their cookers for beans, lentils and rice (following particular practices for those foods), the manufacturer of the All-American Canner recommends against using the canner for these foods because foaming and frothing action could cause clogging of the canner.

I love the construction of this canner. I have pressure canned using a 10qt pressure cooker/canner and the transistion to this canner wasn't quite as seemless as I'd hoped. You have to pay close attention to keep the pressure steady and even though I'd felt I'd done that, I still lost a few jars to poor seals. That being said, some error may be user caused (I have an electric stove, which makes it much more difficult to control heat) and I am still learning. I would still buy the canner again, and I am pretty persistent in my efforts. This summer, I am going to have a friend who is experienced in pressure canning walk me through her process to see what I can do to improve my success.
I searched high and low and found a pressure canner with no seal. The construction is top notch, directions book and info is superb. I would recommend this product and company to anyone wanting to can.
I purchased my first pressure canner in the 1970s, a Presto. Lasted for years and was a great canner, gave it to my sister when I moved out of state. I purchased another pressure canner, used it five times only, unfortunately had it for over a year. The handle broke and a hole had developed in it so it wouldn't build up steam. Truth be told, it seemed very light weight, I should have been more skeptical whenI got it. Now I have the All American 915! This has some weight to it, I am so in love with it. I purchased the smaller size because frankly I don't think I will be canning as much as I used to. The size is perfect for me. I know this is a canner that will get handed down in the family when I no longer can use it.
The larger canner has been the best investment we made. We can get twice as much done as before and it is a real quality product.
My Dad gave my Mom this same All American 30 quart pressure cooker about 30 years ago shortly after they married. It's been an annual friend for our large family! We've cooked huge batches of soup in it, used it to waterbath large half gallon jars of apple cider that won't fit in a regular waterbath canner, and, of course, canned large batches of other foods in it. Since it fits 14 quarts, it makes the process MUCH quicker than using a standard 7 quart would! And since it's tall and narrow, it fits well on our electric stove. My Grandma and Grandpa purchased the next size up that will fit 19 quarts, but the base is so wide that it doesn't fit well on a regular stove. The 30 quart is the way to go!
Pleasant Hill Grain was fantastic too! The price I paid ($350) is almost the same that my Dad paid 30 years ago! It shipped and arrived quickly! And their customer service and communication was top notch! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PLEASANT HILL GRAIN AND THE 30 QUART PRESSURE COOKER!!!
I have been looking at one of these for a few years but hated to spend the money. Then everywhere was sold out. You often seem to get through the order and do the work to find out they are not in stock. I called Pleasant Hill Grain and actually GOT TO TALK TO SOMEONE! She checked their inventory and placed the order for me. And - get this - I had my order in my kitchen in fewer days than it took for the company I have one backordered with to even tell me it was back ordered!!!! WOW! Purchased 5/26/21 & in my kitchen 5/29/21!!! Thank you!
The capacity of our pressure canner is a most attractive feature. Instructions are clear and the canner works exactly as described. Great product. A must have for gardeners who like to can their own produce.
Product is exactly as advertised... originally I purchased for preserving meat and veg soup stocks... haven't gotten around to that yet, but have made applesauce flawlessly. A note aside from the function of the canner: I would really only use it for soup stocks to save freezer space and have a frost-free stock... otherwise, simple hot-water bath canners may be preferable for fruit preserves, so long as you are careful. And as for preserving vegetables, it may not be pragmatic, as the temperature/pressure would render them mushy and therefore devitalized. Better to freeze, or ferment (as in kimche).
I do plan on using at some point for stocks, as store-bought are just plain blah. One final note: There is little space inside the smallest model... I bought it because of limitations of my stove space. So if large amounts of food are to be preserved, plan on some time to hang around for several rounds of canning... otherwise invest in a larger size if stove top permits.
My wife wanted a pressure cooker to cut her time for canning. I looked online at several and the All American 21 quart pressure cooker appeared to be the best of the bunch and has proved to be a good purchase.
I was looking for a canner that did not have to have the rubber gasket. The All-American pressure canner was just what I was looking for. Directions and video that came with the canner were helpful. Have only tried it once so far, canning soup, but plan to do a lot more soon.
