I have an all American canner, but it has a pressure release valve where you picture this pressure weight. Can my toggle release be replaced by this?

Yes. If you have an older one with a petcock, you can buy the weight and the stem. Save the old petcock. If you ever need to replace the over pressure valve, you can use the old petcock. They don't make the over pressure valves anymore.

You have to replace your toggle with a vent pipe that goes with this juggler/weight. I have done this several times with All Amercan canners I have purchased from EBay. Works like a dream! Very easy to do.

Hello Benji, I'm sorry but, I had 2 older Mirro pressure canners that were the same size diameter and I had a devil of a time finding a gasket that should have fit. When the gasket came I followed the instructions and tried 3 times to get it to work but, the gasket appeared to be too big in diameter. It would not seal, so it was useless to me. Subsequently I just scrapped both pressure canners. I hope you have better luck.

I have an All American Model 921 (21 1/2 qts I think). At the time I bought it we were renting a place with a glass topped stove and I went ahead with my canning completely ignorant of any potential problems. And as it turned out, there were no problems. The stove got more than hot enough to bring the pressure up to the required amount and keep it there and the glass didn't crack. That being said, I would never get one of those stoves myself. Too many issues. And much harder to clean than you might imagine if something gets burned on.

No, probably just those made since 1971 and maybe not all of those, but it may adapt to pre-1971 cookers, if you also buy a vent pipe (part that the weight sits on) that can also fit your older cooker/canner. Presto part number 1058 is the most common one and it has 1/8 NPT male threads. Most pre-1971 canners had a 1/8 NPT female threaded hole that the vent pipe screwed into. Thus you can remove existing vent pipe, install 1058, then you can use this weight.

The pressure is actually regulated by a weight that sits on top of the vent pipe. The canner comes with a weight for 15 PSI, but Presto has weights for 5 & 10 PSI. You may also manually regulate the pressure by monitoring the gauge and controlling the heat under the pot.

That is a great price for a stainless canner, it's 1/3 of what others sell for. I didn't have a problem peeling the label, you may want to do that before you use it for the first time.

Set the can on the ground and slowly open the valve to release pressure. Then Use

This is a pressure cooker not a pressure canner. Pint ball jars will not fit, ..unless you want to use it as a water bath canner without the lid. If that is the case there are cheaper and better choices for that. It does come with an instruction manual with recipes.

Kaye,According to a canning website I use to obtain a parts list and optional accessories for many makes if old and new pressure cookers/canners, you are correct that the "Jiggler weight" S-9898 pressure regulator fits your Mirro model. The website I use to reference and check parts and optional accessories is (pressurecooker-canner.com). Hope this helps.Doug

It's pressure fit, and held quite snugly. You could release it for replacement by unscrewing the metal part from the handle, but one hopes that will never be necessary. It is easily cleaned without the need to remove it.

The canner has a "rocker" Pressure gauge (the one in the middle) that has two rings that are added to the 5 Lb. PSI part to give you 5, 10, and 15 PSI depending on your altitude and the recipe that you are following for canning. If you are cooking a large batch of something for dinner from a Pressure "cooker" recipe than you use the 15 PSI for cooking. Hope this helps.

Hi Shirley, it sits right on the vent pipe where the jiggler would sit. You keep the dial gauge but use the weight instead of the jiggler. Meaning, if you need 10lbs of weight you place the piece with one ring. Once your canner comes up to pressure based on the weight you have on the vent pipe (5,10,15Lbs) it will start to hiss slightly and rock indicating it is maintaining the correct pressure. As long as it continues to rock it is at the correct pressure. According to gardenforums.com the 3:1,weight is suppose to be more reliable than the gauge. If you use the weight you don't rely on the gauge. I still look at my gauge :-), but rely on the weight since the gauge could be off.

I really don't know if they could do that or not, but you could try.You could try stop by Oreilly Auto Part or PepBoy to see if they have the similar type of the bar that lock the can in. You could make it yourself one if you want. Good luck. ~Nathan

Yes. Remove the bottom. There are about 6 latching tabs. I used tooth picks to separate and hold the pieces far enough apart. With a little heat you can pull the old hose off and slip the replacement on the barb. I also carefully removed the slide switch before re-assembly. Just some more tabs, but be careful you don't snap them off. That eliminates alignment problems and the switch will snap back in when done. That's what I did with mine and it worked like a charm.

No, you will not NEED it, but you may want it. If your new canner has came with a gauge, then you already have the 15 lb weight and you can pressure can at 10 lbs of pressure by adjusting the heat (at 5K feet you probably won't be canning at 5 lbs much). This weight can be used instead of using the gauge (instructions say to ignore the gauge if you use this weight). The 3 piece design allows you to can at 5, 10 or 15 lbs more reliably as the weight will rock at the predetermined pressure as opposed to over pressurizing (up to 15 lbs) if you get the heat too high and don't turn it down.

My canner has not had that problem. I pretty much do just as Jennifer S. recommends, with the exception that when I do the final tighten of the opposite clamps I do both at the same time rather than one followed by the other.

I am no expert but I believe you will have to switch it out with the quick release that is included. I would check with company.
