I guess I'll go with the weighted gauge, so I won't have to worry about getting the dial tested each year (one less thing to worry about). Thank you again for the information. You can be sure that once I get the pressure canner, I'll be back prowling though your recipes and asking for advice.<br />Thank you!!!!<br />Yes, the pork and beans was a big hit!!tahtimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08597025991965701257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27248498.post-37337810881819417652010-03-01T09:05:49.664-05:002010-03-01T09:05:49.664-05:00Hi Tahtimbo :) I prefer the All American pressure...Hi Tahtimbo :) I prefer the All American pressure canner that has both dial and weigh gauges because it has no gasket. If you get a dial only pressure canner the gauge needs to be tested yearly to be sure it is reading correctly. This can be a problem in some areas although any radiator shop should be able to test it for you. A weighted only pressure canner like my Mirro is also good and you don't have to worry about testing. A weighted pressure canner is a bit louder but that really isn't a problem. So either weighted or dial are safe and it really is a matter of personal preference and price. Mirro and Presto canners are cheaper in price than the All Americans and they have gaskets so you will need to keep a spare gasket on hand. <br /><br />I'm glad to hear you liked the pork and beans :)Garden Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07560748179792613782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27248498.post-26920393740443056602010-02-28T22:52:22.343-05:002010-02-28T22:52:22.343-05:00Thank you very much for this advice.

However, there is a question I have: would you recommend a canner with a weighted gauge or a dial. I'm lost and have no idea which one is better/safer.<br />Oh, I just made a batch of your pork and beans and they turned out great!tahtimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08597025991965701257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27248498.post-73344281409068470342009-10-13T14:58:13.971-04:002009-10-13T14:58:13.971-04:00A pressure cooker is a real asset in any kitchen! ...A pressure cooker is a real asset in any kitchen!
