Just this last year, I replaced one my parents had forever. It was only carried by Montgomery Ward (long gone) and it had to be constantly monitored to get a good cook. After really looking hard at them, I decided on the All American 921 which lets me do 7 quarts, 19 pints or 24 half pints in a batch. It is very heavyweight cast aluminum and doesn't lose temp too fast. I like having the bobble pressure regulator and the pressure gauge.
Thanks for that information! I’ll have to look around for a better price... MMM! 20%? Could you point me in the direction where you found that price?
