Which is better for glass-top or induction stoves?

The Denali Tanker. It is rated for all stovetops, including induction. All American says to check with the stove maker before using the 921 on a glass-top range because of its weight and diameter.

Is the All American 921 worth the extra $269?

If you can the same way for years, yes. The 921 has no gasket to replace and a long reputation. If you want capacity and induction support at the lowest price, the Denali is the better value.

Which holds more jars?

The Denali, at 23 quarts. The All American 921 holds 7 quart jars, 18 pint jars or 26 half-pint jars per load.

The All American 921 has the edge. Its metal-to-metal seal has no rubber part to wear out. The Denali needs gasket replacement, and buyers report parts are often out of stock.

Does the Denali come with canning accessories?

Yes. It includes a pressure gauge, a 10-pound regulator, a 15-pound regulator, a canning rack and 24 Denali lids. The All American 921 includes two canning racks and a recipe and instruction book.

Can both be used as pressure cookers, not just canners?

Yes. All American sells the 921 as a cooker and canner, and Denali sells the Tanker as a canner and cooker. Use the lower pressure settings for cooking.
