Wisconsin Aluminum Foundry has manufactured All American Pressure Canners since the 1930s. This line of canners has offered the best and safest method for home canning from its creation all the way up to the present. The U.S.D.A. recommends pressure canning as the only way to can meat, fish, poultry, and all vegetables. These pressure canners have the capacity needed not only for canning, but also for preparing large quantities of food and pressure cooking inexpensive meat cuts to juicy tenderness in a short time. Only the All American Pressure Canner features an exclusive, precision machined "Metal-to-Metal" sealing system. Positive action clamping locks align the cover to the base forming a steam tight seal. Because no gasket is involved, the cover is always easily opened and closed. The All American Pressure Canner makes it easy to can fish, meat, vegetables, and fruits and is the only method that the U.S.D.A. recommends for low acid foods. All models feature a readable pressure gauge for accurate pressure control.
