All American 915 review

All American 1930 Pressure Cooker/Canner (915), 15.5 Quart

By Tom Calder

Our verdict · Researched
4.0 / 5

All American's machined metal-to-metal seal means there's no rubber gasket to wear out or replace, and it pairs a pressure gauge with a weighted regulator. It's cast in Wisconsin from heavy aluminum, holds 7 quarts or 10 pints by the listing, and it's heavy at 18 pounds. It costs more than a Presto; the reason to pay is a canner you expect to hand down.

How this review works

This is a Researched review: we haven't used this product. We check every specification against at least two independent sources, re-check the US price on a schedule where we can track it automatically, and say plainly who it isn't for. Commissions never change a rating.
