Hi.. now that our gardens are starting to produce is anyone here a canner?
I searched all over for a canner with a pressure dial like my old canner
had
and couldn't find one anywhere. The one I bought is a Presto and has the
weight and other things on top, but no pressure dial anymore. Which ones
do
you prefer? Which do you feel do a better job at canning safely?

All-American models have a pressure gauge.

Hi again, we decided to take this one back and get the Presto 23 qt with the
pressure dial. I wont be canning enough to justify those over $200 canners.
The kids are grown and gone. It's just the two of us now. We're on SS, so
our income is limited. To save shipping we're going to order it from
Wal*Mart and pick it up at the store near us.
