Test Running a Brand New All American Pressure Canner 915

- This is a test run of my brand new All American Pressure Canner 915. It's always a good idea to test run a new or a used canner you may have purchased, to make sure that everything is in good working order before putting jars of food in it.
As always, if you have any questions for me, please leave them down below in the comment section and I will try my best to answer them.

Girl I could throw you a parade. I needed every last bit of this information. I had no idea about next to none of this. I'm one of those people that need to know everything about a subject. Teaching is a gift from God and sister your gift is strong. Everybody cannot teach. Thank you for sharing your gift. You(yes you) have given me the confidence I was lacking to can. I cannot thank you enough. I pray that the Lord open up the windows of Heaven and pour out special blessings for you and your family🌹🌹🌹❤️
thank you Shirley ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Amen! Shirley!
Amen!
Amen
Amen!!!!
OUTSTANDING INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO. May I suggest that when you unscrew the wingnuts that you get into the practice of unscrewing the wingnuts they same way you put them on, OPPOSITES. This will help with muscle memory and get you into the practice of putting them on and off the same way. It is also a precautionary measure, just in case you still have a pressure within the canner. If you have a pressure still within the canner you would be releasing the pressure on one side; thus allowing the hot steam to come out from that side and scald you. Also, when you open the lid, you want to turn the lid towards the rear so as to allow the steam to go in the opposite direction from your face so as not to burn your face. Of course you knew that. :-)
thanks Cliff! great points! i do one at a time because the wing nuts are hot. 😆 if i did two at a time i know for sure i would burn myself!🤣 Grace is not my middle name. 🤣
@@TheKneadyHomesteader No need to apply Vaseline to the place where the wingnuts are. They never touch the metal, as there is a gap all the way around the lid when it's tightened correctly. Also, there is no need to use three inches of water if you convert to the petcock system. All of these All American canners had petcocks before they put the "Jiggler" devices on them. About 3/4" (three quarter inch) of water is all that's needed when the petcock is used, and it's silent. Many people still use the jiggler system, although it's the worst system to use. Converting the jiggler to the petcock is the best thing I've ever done to all of my All American canner/sterilizers. All in all this is a good video.
Nunya , pet cocks are not the best form to use. Reason it produces a steady stream of steam that travels a given distance, if you happen to get a body part in stream it will burn you. The jiggler method defuses the steam jet making it less of a hazard, eg safer. Why take my word for this I run boiler systems for more than 30 plus years, plus I have commissioned them as well. Cheers from Tasmania
My heart hurts for you sweet lady. I lost my Mom almost 7 years ago(2 weeks before I turned 30) and everyone keeps saying it will get easier but I have my doubts about that..the pain is still raw and overwhelming. I used to can with her and my grandmother and now that they are both gone I come to your videos for canning advice since I can't call them with my questions. Thank you for being part of my "self-care" when I'm missing them❤
this made me cry. this is so moving.....i am so sorry for your losses and so honored watching my videos helps in some small way. this means so much to me, Kim. Thank you. We can "can" together, sistah! xoxox
@@TheKneadyHomesteader oh I'm so sorry I made you cry! I've been watching your videos for a while now.. in fact I learned to make bread watching you! My husband and kids sure do appreciate that lesson😂 I love cooking, canning, homeschooling, and taking care of my family so I turn on a video of yours while I'm working and feel like I'm cooking with a friend😁 Cooking and canning just make me feel happy, calm, and relaxed.
It never gets easier.
@@gretchenarrant8334 no it doesn't. I think in some ways it gets harder.
I have lost both parents. In time, the pain is not as sharp.
Just watching this again as I found a used one for sale! Snagged the 915, 9 cases of jars, 6 boxes of lids, 1 box of lids and rings and a water bath canner with lifters, basket, etc. For $200! Sounds like a great deal to me. Lol!! Praying for your continued healing.
Fabulous deal
So so so so helpful! Exactly what I was hoping to see as I open my new big beauty!!
Where has this product been all my life?! Works like a charm!
Thanks. I appreciate the tips and no nonsense
This was such a fantastic tutorial. Thank you!
Thank you for this video ! So helpful, as I acquired one just like this one, at an auction. Been in it’s original box for years ! I will pull it out and get to canning with it. I’ve always used a presto. Love that one for sure. Thank you again!
This is a super good tutorial! Thank you very much!
Thank you so much learned a lot of stuff I didn’t know and very good illustration it really helps
Sad day but full of happy memories too 😣☺ always good to have a teaching and how to use it vid so Thanks Heather xxx👍💕
Thank you for doing this. Today is my first time pressure canning and this video has helped so much.
I’ve had this canner for years and finally need to use it!! Thank you so much for making this video!! Very helpful and concise!! Excellent.
One thing to keep in mind is that while yes, these are a pressurized “bomb”, imbedded in the lid is a black rubber pressure release valve that will blow out if the pressure gets too far beyond 15 PSI and will immediately discharge pressure to avert a catastrophic failure. Not sure if this was mentioned elsewhere in the comments. But yes, one has to use good common sense when using these. Great job in your detailed explanation of the All American, which are undoubtedly the best pressure canners on the market. Love your content, subscribed 👍
Thank you so very much. So happy to have you here! ❤️
Thank you so much for making this video!
I love when you talk about canning you always make things look so easy which is very helpful for those of us still working on our canning skills.
👍🏼👍🏼 the best tutor video I've ever seen. Hands down.
Pokey Joe! Awesome tutorial. I've just started canning this year, but haven't mastered pressure canning yet. Appreciate this great video - I'm going to be trying my hand on pressure canning this week now!
Great video. Thank you for taking time to create such detailed video for beginners like myself.
Thank you for doing this. I just gave myself an early birthday gift. I do regular canning, but wanted to can other things that required pressure canning. This was extremely helpful!
Thank you so much. We are going to can from our garden harvest this year and I was afraid to use the All American canner. My grandmother had a pressure cooker explode and it scared me to have that happen. After your video, I'm not afraid and can't wait to start. You are a wonderful teacher.
Great video! Thanks for the lubrication tips!
Your demonstration is wonderful. Thank you so much!
Test run my new canner following you video . Everything run smooth and so excited to can something already!!
Thanks for the wonderful instructional video. I have my presto and canned sweet potatoes this evening. I am saving for the 915. I have a 921 but by glass top cannot handle that. Peace and blessings to you on this day.
Enjoyed your demonstration of your new canner. Thanks for all the tips in safe canning. I have a 921 and excited to use it.
I’m not new to canning but have had Mirro canners in the past.
So thankful for this video thank you!🙏🏻💕
Thanks for your help and time 👍
I know how you feel Heather, I lost my mother when i was very young! I love my AA canner too!! I want the little one for smaller canning sessions!
Thank you soooo much for doing this video!! I watched several other videos and, being very new to canning, still didn’t know what I was doing. You took the time to make the process crystal clear and I now feel a whole lot more confident❣️
Thanks for the great video testing your All American Canner. My daughter-in-law just gave me hers and I haven't tested it. She did use it a few times and I'm excited to get it. She just doesn't can much at all so I'm lucky to get it. Thanks for the video.
I know it's been 6 months+, but really great video. We're looking at picking up an all-american canner, and wanted to see a walkthrough, and yours was perfect.
Thank you so much for this video. I'm using a pressure canner for the very first time. Such a valuable video.
Wow thank you for this! Pressure canning is very intimidating so seeing every detail of your process is SOOO helpful!
I can’t thank you enough for your detailed instructions in this video. I just received my pressure canner this past Christmas and it’s time to get canning!!
I’m so glad I found your video . We’re having a canning gathering tomorrow and had no idea I needed to test it beforehand! After viewing this video I’m confident doing it tonight.
You are an amazing teacher. I just got my 921 canner and will be canning this coming weekend. Your video is so helpful. Thank you so much.
Thank you thank you! I have my very first all American heading my way as we speak. You truly took my fears away with pressure canning watching this video. Now I’m actually excited to start!
I know its been a few years but i NEEDED this thank you!!
I'm doing self care by watching your video, because I just love you. I am into all the things you are, but it's so much more joyful to not only watch an instructional, but along with someone who is so full of joy and loves it so much.
It's like the most relaxing thing I can do at nearly midnight when I can't be in the garden :)
Thank you for putting yourself out there. ❤️
I have a “new to me” all American canner coming in tomorrow. I’m a newbie so I am so grateful for this video. Thank you as always Heather. I think you were the first person who got me watching any videos and made me think maybe I could do it. Honestly I had no interest until in canning until now. Thank you for convincing me to give it a go.
Canning for the first time ,this video helped me so much I was having problems with the lid leaking steam
Thank you for your video...I am just starting canning!!
Excited to see this. Bought this canner a couple of months ago but still need to test run. Watching and praying for you and your family ❤️❤️🙏🙏❤️
Oh, she's so cute!! Now comes the best part. Canning. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for this video!!😊 I just up graded my All American canner to a weighted gage . This helped me a lot. Keep up the great videos.
Yaye! I just think you are adorable and easy and delightful to follow for us newbies. Thank you
thanks Sarah! 😁 Happy Canning!
I came to your channel some time ago for your bread baking videos… and I’m staying because of your canning videos! My stage of development is progressing because of you and I thank you! Thank you so very much!
Thank you so much for making this video. I bought the 921 over a year ago and I failed miserably during the test trial.
Praying you and your family UP, sweet Heather!
Thank you so very, very much. You helped me immensely in doing my first pressure canning with an All American. I was nervous. I canned carrots and needed a weight of 15 because of our elevation. You were such a big help. 😊
Thanks so much for this video. I have an All American 915. Love it! Used olive oil to lube and never thought to use pet. jelly on all those surfaces! Sometimes getting that cover to perfectly seat was a frustrating issue for me. We have a propane range like yours and it is so easy to get the pressure up to 10 /11lbs ( for our region), reduce the heat and keep it on 10, with supervisoin...I attached the weight with a string in the hole opposite the 10 and attached the string to the handle, so I never lose it.
You instruction is excellent. Wish I had this video when I bought the canner three years ago!
Thank you for this video! I'm using my 915 for the first time today.
So looking forward to learning how to make sourdough starter! So glad I found you on CZcams! Thank you!
thank you, Diana! :D
I am receiving my first All American 915 canner this week. Thank you for taking the time to give a very detailed explanation of how to set up and test this canner. I just purchased a Presto canner and it leaked like a sieve. I just could not get a proper seal to do the task of canning. So I returned that canner and purchased the All American 915. The demonstration you gave seems to show that this new one will be a much more useful and reliable canner. Thank you!
Heather, this year will be the 2nd since I lost my childhood best friend of 15 years... from what I know and have learned from this kind of grief, and from others who are farther along in their journey with their grief, it’s that the weight of it never really changes. As time goes by, you learn how to carry it a little bit better, but some days the same weight of grief can feel heavier than the day before. Anniversary’s of birthdays, death days... holidays etc. are always more difficult. My heart is with you, and I hope that you found the peace you needed to make it through this day.
Great info. Getting ready to buy my first canner.
Thank you so much. This is my first time doing canning. I have watched the video many times to make sure I am doing this right before I do the test.
Oh love your videos by the way! Thank you
Hey heather ,I just got my instant pot it was a joy I read all the information, and I'm watching your video again on the instant pot so next time I cook I'm gonna try this. Your onion broth. Woo hoo.
I just want to say that I have watched probably a dozen different CZcams channels for instructional information on the All American canner. You have by far been the best I have ever watched. Thank you for your help and information. God bless you and your family 💟
I have a 915 from the '80s. Never used it. Now I m really scared of it. A bomb 😱
I found your tutorial on the All-American and was really excited - it is so explicit. I purchased a 921 this past fall after canning with an old presto for 25 years. I thought it was about time to come into the 21st century of canning. I can't tell you how disappointed I have been with this canner. I followed the directions that came with it and couldn't get it to seal. Over the past several months, I have watched several tutorials on CZcams, paid attention to their directions and tips and "tested" my canner. always no luck. So I thought your CZcams was more specific about the vasoline you used and where you used it - which no one else had addressed. So, now, I have just finished testing my canner for the umpteenth time - again with no luck. I still have leaks. I'm going to put my All American on the market and go back to a Presto - at least I know when it locks down, it's not going to leak. But I really appreciated your specifics, you do an excellent tutorial. Beverly Rampey, Elizabeth Colorado
Continuing to watch your playlist.
I just bought an All American. Thank you for this information.
I received an All American pressure canner/cooker for my birthday in May and today will be my first time using it. I am a little nervous as this will be my first time pressure canning too. I've watched a few videos over the last couple of days but have to say your video is by far the best and most thorough video I have watched.
My husband and I did this along side the video. Thank you. You helped us get started on this new adventure. I am looking forward to a lot of canning. I want to do your onion soup next.
Heather, thank you for this video. I bought a canner and have not used it yet. I bought it at the beginning of the pandemic before they were all sold out. I read the instructions and felt a bit daunted. I also was nursing a back injury and was not in a position to try lifting heavy objects at that time. I have been wanting to try out the canner, but truth be told, I lost a bit of my nerve. Watching this video has helped me to understand how the canner works. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Off to get time Vaseline.
I enjoy your videos so much! I've just gotten a new All American 915 canner and your video is so helpful!
congratulations!😆👏🏻
I love this!! I am still trying to get myself more into canning AND decided a few days ago to try again with a starter!! I havnt killed it so far!! (3 days in 😂) but excited!
Happy 2020 you Guys , watching this on the following Tuesday , whilst keeping an eye on your recipe Gingerbread sponge in my oven, house smells fab .... don't predict it will last long once the lill one comes back from school...lol..... a great tutorial video for brand new canners
Prayers sent.
I'm so sorry, Heather. My heart goes out to you. I lost my Mom in April 2010, so iI get it. Almost 10 years have passed, and it has gotten easier over the years, but that doesn't mean I don't miss her like crazy. Love and hugs to you!
Also, the more I see of the 1915, the more I am leaning toward purchasing it over the 910. Awesome video!!
Love this thing and it is very well made for the price
I understand how you feel. My father passed away seven years ago in the 20th this month. January is very hard for me. My dads birthday would have been on the 23rd as well. Also My favorite aunt birthday is on the 19th and she passed about ten years ago. We also just had to put one of our dogs down on the third. So January just is a sad month for my family. Please know that your mother has raised a wonderful and inspirational woman and she lives on through you and your beautiful children. Lots of love during your hard times. 💕
My new to me 915 will be here this Friday.. So excited and will be doing this test cycle the day it gets here.. All ready got the jelly here for the rim..
Thank you! Very helpful video.
I’ve had my All American canner in the box for 2 years because I was petrified to use it. This year, I’ve decided to buck up and can some beans. I read the directions, tried a test session and wow, did I miss a lot. I didn’t put any jars in it for the test, nor wait the 10 min. My brain was like, “there won’t be any water left”. I have an electric glass top range so I was nervous, and that was an understatement, about trying it. I watched your video and bam! Now I feel more confident in using it. My question for you is, the instructions say to use hot water in the canner did you use hot water?
So glad you posted this. It’s going to be my “go to” tomorrow when I try my beans for real. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 it works. Wish me luck.
I'm so sorry for your ongoing sense of loss, Heather. I'm sure your mom would be super proud to see how many people you've helped in this little community you've created here. 🥰
September 23rd was 4 years since I lost my dad. He was my rock and I know I'll always feel lost without him. This year was the first Christmas season that I wasn't just going through the motions the whole time. I broke down briefly while frosting the gingerbread cookies, (those were his favorite and this is the first time I've made them since he's been gone) but I managed to pull myself together and not get any tears in the frosting. It turns out that my son likes them now so that was a nice surprise, otherwise I'd have to eat the whole batch by myself!
Hugs to you and warm wishes for a healthy and prosperous new year. 💜
my heart goes out to you! i am so sorry. 4 years seems like a lifetime yet like yesterday all at the same time. 💔
This was very helpful. Got my 921 today and am so excited.
congratulations!!!!!
I just bought this size after watching your videos, thanks for ask the tips! Valuable. I believe you’ve saved me some hardships. Thank you!
Hi
Having trouble fitting 10 pints in. 9 is a struggle. Any advice helpful. Thanks in advance 👍
I bought an All American Canner and can’t wait to use it, all because you gave me the confidence to go for it. You are amazing missy💕👍
Tomorrow I will attempt Test #3 to see if my canner will seal properly at the second wing nut left of the arrow. When trying to build up steam I see bubbling by that wing nut. The pressure gauge does not make it to 15 with the weight set at 15 pounds. I’ve got to be doing something wrong to not be able to get my lid to seal properly. 😞
Very helpful!
Just got mine ordered, so excited!!!!
And thank you for making this video!
I love my All American 915!
So Sorry Heather. Really appreciate you sharing on this day. Hugs!!
thanks so much, Pam. xo
I’m a newbie thanks so much great tutorial
Thank you for this video!
They have food grade lubricants that are used for things like the gears on your electric meat slicers.
Very helpful thank you
Great this video I sorry for your loss mom
thanks Michael
Ok now I want this canner 😊
Glad you took us step by step with one. They seem a little intimidating to me but I think I could handle it. Putting it on my growing amazon list, lol.
I am a motherless daughter as well so I totally know what D-day is like. After 26 years of my moms passing, it still hurts but I will say the pain just little bit less. It never goes away, but I think about her and talk to her whenever I think of her. Yes, I still drop a few tears now and then even though so much time has gone by. My moms D-day is coming up in the 24th of this month. Hugs to you Heather 😊
hugs right back at you, Deann. Thank you! And now, get you this canner! hahaha you will love it!
You are great! I finally learned how to work the all american canner. Thank you so much!
oh that's awesome!!!!! which one do you have? 921?
@@TheKneadyHomesteader yes 921.
Thank you for making this! Just got in my new all American 921 in blue to can chicken bone broth! Currently waiting on it to come up to pressure! I’m trying this for my first test run! Thank you for giving me the courage to try it! ❤
Ahh friend. My heart goes out to you. Nov 5 was my Dad's anniversary. It's also been 7 yrs. He passed my first semester of nursing school. Your in my thoughts and prayers.
i am so very sorry, Jimmy. :( 7 years feels like forever yet like yesterday. It does not get easier with time. :(
thank you some day I may got up the to do it. some of my hold back is may lack of reeding and righting so seeing and hereing how to is a help. my mom pass a year ago my dad 8 years. I miss them a lot. hold in their. thank you
Hi heather just watched your video on the pressure cooker 915,may I say excellent presentation, this video has really helped me.and I'm sorry about the death of your mother,I to mourn my mother and shes been gone 35 years. September 3rd.she passed.1984 .Bless you and your family,with great respect heather you are an inspiration to me .cant wait to see more videos, although if possible I would like to see a video on bread and butter pickles, they are my favorite. Thanks again heather this is one I will write down for my recipe box.never stop doing videos the presentation is wonderful and you are amazing.
thank you so very much! and so sorry to hear about your Mom. :(
Great tutorial, I am following each step. It's taking a long time to get the pressure Guage to move up. I am hoping it didn't get damaged in shipping. Have the flame on high and it's been 30 minutes at least to get Guage up to 1 pound and no steady steam yet. Hope it's going to work out. Hope my stove has the Btu requirement. No leaks all good. Just taking long.
This is so perfect! I've been binge watching your videos...I may have posted on another of your videos that between you, Linda's Pantry, Prepper Poppourri and others, I got up the courage to try pressure canning. My All American 915 just came a couple of days ago! Can't wait to try it! I'm so sorry about your mom. I was 27 when we lost our mom almost 40 years ago. I still miss her every day. My words of wisdom to someone with a recent loss is that there will come a time when your memories bring you comfort instead of the pain they bring you now. You have such a kind heart. I wish we were neighbors.
Congratulations!!!!!😆👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I am so excited for you!!!!! And those are perfect words of wisdom!❤️
I have made sourdough bread from scratch many times. I've found the use of the orange juice method to make a starter best. I noticed on bread making day, that dough rise is an ALL DAY (even in very warm environment) event so don't get impatient and discouraged.
