This is a very high quality, heavy weight canner. It practically
screams, "Industrial strength!" The slide clips and screw-downs securely
fasten the lid to the pot. No blow-outs with this baby. The weighted
pressure gauge makes operation almost foolproof. And no gasket
required! Before purchasing a canner, I did a lot of reading in the
rec.food.preserving news group. I saw endless inquiries about sources
for gaskets for canners ranging from a few years old to many decades
old. It was clear some of these people had spent many, many hours in
search of a gasket. Avoiding the need for a gasket became a major
criteria for my purchase.
I've had my canner for a couple years and am still impressed with the quality. There are only two negatives I can think of. The heavy weight of the canner is a plus for strength and longevity, but it can work against you. The canner weighs 20 pounds when it's empty. Unless you work out regluarly, you're not going to fill the canner on the counter and then carry it to the stove. The other potential negative is the height. This canner requires at least a 16 inch clearance over your range. If your range has an upper oven the canner might not fit.
