- How many jars does the All American 910 hold?
- It fits about 7 quart jars or 4 wide-mouth quart jars in a single layer, plus smaller pint and half-pint jars. That makes it a small-batch canner rather than a full-size one.
- Does it really need no gasket?
- Correct. The lid seals metal to metal against the pot, so there is no rubber ring to buy or replace. You still need to keep the sealing surfaces clean and lightly oiled.
- Will it work on my induction cooktop?
- No. The aluminum body is not induction-ready. Use it on gas, electric coil or radiant electric stoves.
- Can I use it as a regular pressure cooker?
- Yes. It doubles as a pressure cooker for beans, stews and tough cuts, though its size and weight make it less handy than a dedicated cooker.
- What comes in the box?
- The canner, its lid with gauge and weighted regulator, and a rack for holding jars. Jars and canning tools are sold separately.
- How is it different from a Presto or Mirro canner?
- Those use a rubber gasket and a twist-lock lid and are lighter and cheaper to start. The All American trades that convenience for a gasket-free seal and heavier cast aluminum construction.
