We have done quite a bit of canning, water bath and pressure.

We also have an All-American canner. but have never used Tattler lids.

Here are my thoughts -

If you have used Tattler Lids with success in a different pressure canner I don’t see why they wouldn’t work with the All American.

The lid doesn’t know if you are using a Mirro pressure canner or an All American.

And it shouldn’t matter because the basic operation of all pressure canners is the same - some just have different details.
They all bring the contents to a specific pressure, maintain it for the correct period of time and let it drop back to normal air pressure.

If I had concerns I would run a trial with one jar of water and a Tattler lid.

We ran a trial like that when we first got our All American canner just to familiarize ourselves with it.

Yeah I was going to do that, but maybe with more. The tattlers are more error prone and I do get a failure occasionally. Especially with something greasy. But I figure once I use the canner it’s mine. I wouldn’t want to return something used because I wouldn’t want to buy something that should be new but someone used it.

But thanks for your encouraging words, I’ll go with that, the process is all the same.
