- How much food does the 25-quart model hold?
- It holds 19 pint jars or 7 quart jars per canning load. That makes it one of the largest home canners available.
- Does it need a rubber gasket?
- No. The All American 925 seals metal to metal, so there is no gasket to buy, stretch or replace.
- Can it be used as a regular pressure cooker?
- Yes. It works for pressure-cooking large cuts, stocks and beans as well as for canning.
- Is it dishwasher-safe?
- No. The cast aluminum body should be hand-washed; dishwasher detergents can darken and pit the finish.
- How does it compare with gasket-sealed canners?
- It is heavier and costlier than stamped aluminum canners, but it skips gasket replacement and tends to last longer.
- What is included with it?
- It comes with the cooker body, lid, pressure regulator weight, rack and the manufacturer's instructions. Jars are not included.
