The All American AA930 is a 30-quart heavy-duty aluminum pressure cooker and canner built around a metal-to-metal seal instead of a rubber gasket. It holds 19 pint jars or 14 quart jars per load, and its geared steam gauge, weighted overpressure plug and safety valve give it a reputation as one of the most durable and safest canners sold. It suits serious home canners putting up meat, fish and vegetables in volume, and cooks tough cuts quickly. Its rivals are lighter, gasket-sealed canners that cost less and work on glass cooktops; the AA930 is heavier, needs no replacement gaskets, and is not recommended for glass stovetops.

Owners of All American canners consistently praise the gasket-free metal-to-metal seal, the sturdy aluminum build and the long service life, often passed down through families. Complaints center on weight, the effort of clamping the lid and the glass-stovetop restriction.
The All American AA930 is a pressure cooker and canner for home use. It can be used to can meat, fish, poultry, and common fruits and vegetables. It can also cook tough, inexpensive cuts of meat until tender in a short time.
It is made of heavy-duty aluminum throughout, with a smooth finish that is easy to clean. The cover seals with a metal-to-metal seal, so there is no gasket to crack, burn, replace, or clean. Wing nuts clamp the cover, and it goes on and off easily.
Safety features include a safety control valve, automatic excess pressure release, and an automatic vent. A geared steam gauge shows the pressure. The edges are double thickness at the points of heaviest wear. It has a bakelite top handle and sturdy, easy-grip side handles.
