All-American 10-1/2-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner Review
We had been considering the purchase of a pressure cooker for years and after seeing one used on a recent television cooking show, we decided not to put it off any longer. Our only criteria was that we wanted to buy one made in America, if at all possible. The All-American Pressure Cooker/Canner fit the bill perfectly. When it arrived we read and reread the instructions and still felt a little nervous the first time we used it, but the meal we prepared, beef short ribs, turned out better than we could have ever imagined! The meat almost melted in our mouths. There used to be a barbecue restaurant here in town whose slogan was, "you need no teeth to eat my beef." That slogan describes the All-American Pressure Cooker/Canner prepared meals to a "T."
Here's a couple of hints for meat recipes: After you brown the meat, line the bottom of the pan with sliced yellow onions before placing the meat back in the pan. And use a medium heat setting on your stove. We often make a dipping sauce, and our favorite recipe uses a 50-50 liquid mixture of 1 cup of water and 1 cup of our favorite barbecue sauce, whisked, and poured over the top of large, browned, beef short ribs, just before sealing the pressure cooker. 40 minutes later, you will not believe how fabulous it tastes!
Do we recommend to anyone who reads this review that you should purchase an All-American Pressure Cooker? All we can say is, after you have prepared a few meals with this cooking style, we believe you'll wish you had gotten one years ago. We don't know anyone at All-American. We don't own any company stock (I think it's privately owned, anyway). But it's a tremendous addition to our kitchen that we wish we would have bought decades ago! And the best thing about the All-American Pressure Cooker/Canner is that it is made by Americans, in AMERICA.

Customer Reviews
Perfect Size - Robert R. Jeter -
This is an example of American-manufacturing quality. It looks and feels safe. And, the company has an outstanding track record. It's just the right size for a standard stove top. Not too heavy and not too wide. Although you can't can the whole garden in one setting, it's perfect for a small family. Buy one, you won't be disappointed!
#910 is PERFECT for smaller batches! - C. Hudnall -
This is the second All-American I have (I have #921 - 21 1/2-Qt also), and I love it!
The smaller size means that it sits on top of the stove at all times, ready to be used. While making dinner on the front burners, I often have this canner working on the back burner. After we finally get up from the table (noone ever seems to want to!), depending on what I canned, but usually something that goes for 90 minutes at 10 psi, it is time to take jars out of the canner. There are some steps to do in between, but our table is in the kitchen, so I get up to check on/turn off burner, etc., while still being able to enjoy the wonderful conversation and shananigans going on at the table. Once the canner is cool, it gets a vinegar & soap bath (I have hard water), dried and put on back burner for next load, jars are on a towel ready to cool and seal overnight, and then be put away in the morning while the coffee is perking.
The smaller size means I don't feel guilty if I don't have two levels of jars to can (one on top of the other). If I only have 4 pints of picadillo to can, then I only can 4 pints, and no guilt about all that space being wasted. :-)
Don't get me wrong, I love my 921 also - I would not know what to do without it, but this 910 has just as much place in my kitchen.

None better for pressure canning. Smaller size makes it easier and quicker to process.
