Product Description
All American has been making pressure canner cookers since 1930 and only All American Pressure Canners have an exclusive, precision machined "metal-to-metal" sealing system. Positive action clamping locks align the cover to the base, forming a steam-tight seal and permits easy opening and closing. Because there are no gaskets, you don't have to worry about a gasket cracking, burning or needing replacement in the middle of a canning project.
The Pressure Canner/Cooker can also be used to cook meals or desserts in a fraction of the time required by other cooking methods. Budget-cut meat is quickly cooked to juicy goodness with lots of flavor. Each canner comes with canning rack(s) and instruction/recipe book

None better for pressure canning. Smaller size makes it easier and quicker to process.
#910 is PERFECT for smaller batches! September 15, 2009

This is the second All-American I have (I have #921 - 21 1/2-Qt also), and I love it!
The smaller size means that it sits on top of the stove at all times, ready to be used. While making dinner on the front burners, I often have this canner working on the back burner. After we finally get up from the table (noone ever seems to want to!), depending on what I canned, but usually something that goes for 90 minutes at 10 psi, it is time to take jars out of the canner. There are some steps to do in between, but our table is in the kitchen, so I get up to check on/turn off burner, etc., while still being able to enjoy the wonderful conversation and shananigans going on at the table. Once the canner is cool, it gets a vinegar & soap bath (I have hard water), dried and put on back burner for next load, jars are on a towel ready to cool and seal overnight, and then be put away in the morning while the coffee is perking.
The smaller size means I don't feel guilty if I don't have two levels of jars to can (one on top of the other). If I only have 4 pints of picadillo to can, then I only can 4 pints, and no guilt about all that space being wasted. :-)
Don't get me wrong, I love my 921 also - I would not know what to do without it, but this 910 has just as much place in my kitchen.
We should have bought this years ago! February 6, 2010

We had been considering the purchase of a pressure cooker for years and after seeing one used on a recent television cooking show, we decided not to put it off any longer. Our only criteria was that we wanted to buy one made in America, if at all possible. The All-American Pressure Cooker/Canner fit the bill perfectly. When it arrived we read and reread the instructions and still felt a little nervous the first time we used it, but the meal we prepared, beef short ribs, turned out better than we could have ever imagined! The meat almost melted in our mouths. There used to be a barbecue restaurant here in town whose slogan was, "you need no teeth to eat my beef." That slogan describes the All-American Pressure Cooker/Canner prepared meals to a "T."
Here's a couple of hints for meat recipes: After you brown the meat, line the bottom of the pan with sliced yellow onions before placing the meat back in the pan. And use a medium heat setting on your stove. We often make a dipping sauce, and our favorite recipe uses a 50-50 liquid mixture of 1 cup of water and 1 cup of our favorite barbecue sauce, whisked, and poured over the top of large, browned, beef short ribs, just before sealing the pressure cooker. 40 minutes later, you will not believe how fabulous it tastes!
Do we recommend to anyone who reads this review that you should purchase an All-American Pressure Cooker? All we can say is, after you have prepared a few meals with this cooking style, we believe you'll wish you had gotten one years ago. We don't know anyone at All-American. We don't own any company stock (I think it's privately owned, anyway). But it's a tremendous addition to our kitchen that we wish we would have bought decades ago! And the best thing about the All-American Pressure Cooker/Canner is that it is made by Americans, in AMERICA.
Excellent for canning smaller batches July 6, 2010

Every serious gardener needs two canners; a huge one that can handle days of large harvests, and a small one for when you come into the house with just a handful of veggies that you don't want to consume that day, but that you don't want to feed to the livestock or otherwise waste. This sturdy little canner is wonderful for those mini harvest days. Many times I've used it to process just one or two pints.
I like the fact that it doesn't require a rubber gasket (which eventually deteriorates) and its single wiggle-weight does your choice of 5, 10, or 15 pounds of pressure. Its smaller size allows it to both heat up and cool down more quickly than its jumbo cousins, which can give you a firmer product by reducing the time that it's cooking before and after reaching pressure.
I've had mine for several years and nothing on this little workhorse has needed replacing. I recommend it highly.

I remember Mom using a pressure cooker when I was a kid, and had thought about getting one for years. When I finally got around to shopping for one, I read the details and reviews on this unit and its imported competitors, and some recurring themes emerged. The imported ones are lighter, reportedly easier to use, smaller, and have a tendency to fail, sometimes in spectacular ways. This one is big, bulky, and utilitarian looking, but it's very hard to find any reports of serious failures. Having used autoclaves in labs, I have a healthy respect for pressurized steam, so All-American looked like the way to go.
This is now one of my favorite cooking utensils, on a par with my iron skillet. Spare ribs are on the table 60 minutes after I pull them from the refrigerator, but they taste like they've been slow-roasted in a BBQ pit all day. The cooking process is incredibly easy, too: sear the meat, add the sauce, clamp on the lid, and let it simmer for the time and pressure indicated in your recipe. I doubt I'll ever use it for canning, but just as a cooker it more than justifies its price. Of course you can pay less for a functional pressure cooker, but only if you're not bothered by the idea of metal projectiles flying around your kitchen.
If you're torn between this and the next larger model, as I was, only get the bigger one if you plan to make really huge meals (or if you need the space for canning). This one will fit a few pounds of ribs or a large pot roast with no trouble.
