Best quality brand  
I have been canning for years but never utilized a pressure canner.
I remember my Mom using one and of course back in the older days hers did blow up in the kitchen.
This year it is my quest to purchase a pressure canner.
I happen to see one at Meijers. Mirro 20 qt. which prompted my search.
In review of various brands: construction price features I find I really am confused. I have read many of the good and bad reviews.
My question is really this.
In rating the various brands what would be suggested.
Mirro - Presto - All American
I read how the bottoms of the Mirro may bulge but that might be due to cold water rinse.
All American may be the best yet is double the price.

I do have an elecric stove with coils.

Can anyone help me with my decision. I want to make a wise choice if possible.
also has anyone had problems with order on-line or should I seek out a store. One comment was the woman was glad :2010-09-15 08:10:18

Customer Beware!! Dont buy this Canner!!  
I am very unhappy with this canner. Mirro tells you it has a 10 year warranty they are talking about the pot ONLY. The rubber gasket that goes on the pressure monitoring gauge which is the little red button that pops up on the black handle falls off and of course it went down the drain. I called the company about purchasing another gasket they told me they do not have a replacement gasket but I could purchase another canner and they would give me a $10.00 credit. They also told me I would have to send in the canner which would cost me about $15.00 shipping. Customer service was very rude and pretty much let me know right away they do not care about their customers only selling new products. I will never purchase anything from Mirro or Wearever again. If you want a good pressure canner try the All American brand. Yes they cost more but they stand behind their products and their performance is wonderful. You will never need to purchase another canner again! :2010-09-15 08:10:18

POTENTIALLY UNSAFE  
Prospective purchaser should look closely at the reviews that warn buyers about the inadequate instructions that accompany mirro pressure cookers. Here are the instructions described in the manual. I will start with step #11 on page 16 since steps #1 through #10 pertain to how to pack your jars.

11. Set jars on rack in canner. It is ok if sides of jars touch each other.

12. Close canner. Make sure that canner is properly closed with grips on lid directly over grips on pan.

13. With pressure control OFF heat on high until stam comes out of vent tub. Let steam vent for 10 minutes.

14. After venting place control on vent tube using a plot holdr or oven mitt at correct presssure setting according to the chart.

15. When control jiggles vigorosly reduct heat so that the control rocks or giggles gently.

16. Process according to time given in charts. Count proccessing time from the time the control starts to jiggle v :2010-09-15 08:10:18

Fantastic canner  
The ONLY reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars is simply that the instructions state the weights will jiggle continuously during canning and they are intermittent instead which led to a bit of confusion until I called and the rep told me to start the timer when the weight began moving and then expect it to jiggle on and off during the canning process. this is a great size. We made gumbo on the first attempt and just opened it to enjoy this weekend. After 3 weeks in our pantry it was just as incredible as when we had it originally (although the shrimp was slightly overcooked but we can adjust that in the next batch). This canner was easy to use did not require me to sit in the kitchen to watch the pressure gauge (like the other models that use pressure gauges instead of weights) and also will never require calibration (the pressure gauge ones require yearly calibration to maintain their accuracy). If you know someone who likes canning using the water method for high acid stuff this is a gr :2010-09-15 08:10:18

My opinion  
I have canned for years and have loved Mirro canners. . .until now. The company has sold out and no longer have the one-piece weighted jiggler that made it unique. Also they have changed the shape and the canner no longer holds as many jars as it used to. I purchased a 12 quart canner and the jars rubbed the lid when closed. I have since returned the canner and purchased an All-American. And GUESS WHAT? They now have the Mirro jigglers on their new canners. . .guess they bought out Mirros design. If you have never canned you may like these canners. . .if you are an experienced canner bite the bullet and buy an All-American! :2010-09-15 08:10:18
