pressure cooker reccomendations

[Guest guest]

Mine is a Fagor Splendid 6 quart stainless steel .

I also have a 10 quart with all the canning accessories but I haven't canned

yet.

One day I will try it.

I have several pressure cookers and canners. All American canner, I

believe one of the canners is a Presto. I have several Mirro pressure cookers,

several Presto and one stainless steel Presto pressure cooker that I use

for cooking acidic food. I use the other pressure cookers mostly for

creating distilled water or for canning. I have one 4.5 quart Mirro I use for

canning jams and jellies because it is short and it works for that.

 

I would recommend stainless steel if food is going to be in contact with

the cooker. Otherwise aluminum is fine for canning and if you can find a

used canner at Goodwill (like I do) for under $6 it is well worth it.

 

Just make sure that it is easy to clean and be sure to keep the vent very

clean -- I use a toothpick or pipecleaner to clean it.
