New PC
    #5292584 - 02/12/06 08:04 PM (17 years, 11 months ago)

I settled on a Mirro 22qt PC which I got locally for $80. For the money, I think this is the best PC for making jars. It states it will hold 36 - 1/2pt jars, while Presto's 23qt advertises that it will hold only 24 - 1/2pters.

I assume this is due to minor differences in the internal dimensions. I was surprised to notice the smaller canner actually held more 1/2 pt jars, so I thought I'd pass this info on.

Here's a comparison:

Mirro Model 92022
Capacity -
36 Half Pint Jars
20 Pint Jars
7 Quart Jars

as compared to...

Presto Model 01781
Capacity-
24 Half Pint Jars
20 Pint Jars
7 Quart Jars

Someday I'll buy an All American 41.5qt PC from Myco Supply... till then, I think this is the best cost/capacity ratio PC for my needs.

Grats! 7 quarts at a time rocks!

Going by the numbers, it looks like you can stack the jars 3 high in the Mirro, just 2 with the Presto. Some people are long term cakers, but if you ever switch to quarts, you'll be ready.

Mirro's fine, but the Presto's got a pressure gauge (highly recommended).

Well, the AA are probably the best hands down. I hope I don't regret not buying one. I've been doing pints of WBS from LC lately. I bought this with those in mind... 20 pint jars gives me the same amount of PCed medium as your AA, Jaeger! :smile: But alas, I have bolt-on lid envy already. You just gotta love the construction on those things.
