Mirro 22-Quart Polished Aluminum Pressure Cooker/Canner Review

I know about canners. I can A LOT, and run two canners at one time. It is really getting hard to find a canner like this with a "jiggler" on top rather than a pressure gauge. I cannot stress enough that a weight system like this is just SO MUCH BETTER than a gauge if you are doing any volume of canning. If you are canning meats, you need to monitor your canner for 90 minutes, and if you have to babysit a gauge, you will get sick of it really fast. With a jiggler like this canner has, you can just listen, and know the pressure is correct. As long as the weight on top is just gently jiggling, everything is a.o.k. and you can read, or go the the restroom, or whatever you need to do. Plus, as years go by, I find it really hard to trust a gauge. You know the weight on this one will stay constant. I have one of this model of canner, and I'm buying another one today, to replace a perfectly good machine with a gauge.

The Mirro 22-quart pressure cooker can certainly be used for cooking extra-large batches of stews, soups and chili, but thanks to its extra-large capacity it really shines as a pressure canner. It can hold up to 16 pint jars, 14 wide mouth pint jars, 30 half pint jars, or 5 quart jars. Made of rust-proof, heavy-gauge aluminum, the cooker has a stay-cool, locking handle, and it features three knobs that hold the internal pressure at one of three options--5, 10, and 15 PSI. Mirro pressure cookers are designed with safety in mind, and its Triple Safe Design includes a safety release plug, sure-locking lid system, and side gasket pressure release. It comes with complete instructions and a recipe booklet.

All-American 15-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner Review

When I first ordered this canner, I wasn't sure if I would be able to maintain a steady pressure with my "pulsating" flat-top stove. With the thick aluminum walls, I have no problems at all. In fact, with such thick walls, I can put the burner on "high" and it will slowly build up pressure so I don't have to stand over the stove and constantly monitor as the pressure increases. Once at pressure, it is very easy to maintain the required pressure without having to constantly vent off excess pressure. The owner's manual recommends one to four jiggles per minute. It takes longer for this canner to cool down than others due to the thick walls. I factor this in to my processing time. It will maintain it's pressure (15 psi) for almost another 10 minutes with the burner off. This canner is designed to fit 7 quart jars perfectly. If your looking for a canner, this is it!
