Know before you buy
The 921BL has a total capacity of 21.5 quarts. This size is ideal for processing large batches of jars, typically holding up to seven quart jars or nineteen pint jars depending on the configuration.
No, this model features All American’s signature metal-to-metal seal. It uses a precision-machined beveled edge to create a steam-tight fit, meaning you never have to worry about replacing rubber or silicone gaskets.
The blue finish is a durable, high-quality coating applied to the cast aluminum. While it is designed to withstand the heat and rigors of stovetop canning, it should be cleaned with non-abrasive tools to maintain its appearance over time.
We generally do not recommend using this heavy cast aluminum canner on glass or ceramic cooktops. The weight of the unit, especially when filled with water and jars, can exceed the weight limits of these surfaces and potentially cause damage.
The 921BL is equipped with an easy-to-read geared steam gauge that provides precise pressure readings. It also includes a pressure regulator weight that can be set to 5, 10, or 15 PSI for accurate processing.
