This is a large aluminum stovetop pressure cooker that doubles as a water-bath canner, with a 13.7-quart body that holds several quart jars or a big batch of soup, beans or meat. Aluminum heats fast and evenly and costs less than stainless steel, but it reacts with acidic foods and is not dishwasher-safe. It relies on a weighted pressure regulator plus multiple safety systems, including overpressure release and a locking lid. It suits home canners and large families; cooks who want precise low-pressure settings or induction compatibility should look at stainless models instead.

Owners of this style of aluminum canner-cooker generally find it does the job for water-bath canning and big batches, and the safety valves give peace of mind. Complaints center on aluminum staining from acidic foods, the weight when full and the lack of induction support.
