Canning Partership

[GaffnLaff]

I'm interested in getting a canner, but they're pretty expensive for something you don't use that much. Best price I've seen is $230. It does 19 pint/14 quart jars at a time.
I am interested in splitting the cost (say 4 ways?)-with people living/working in the San Diego area so we can trade it off. That leaves me looking for maybe 2 more partners (if Fishwiz is still in?). Maybe we could find it for less at the Fred Hall show??

Anybody iterested?

BestBuy - That looks like mine, and I didn't pay anywhere near $200. I'll ask the boss where she got it...

Is it an All American 921?

I can't remember what I paid for mine.

Use distilled water in the canner it will stop that white residue.

All American 930
Any savings/use tips will be appreciated.

#920 is 19 pts. 7 qts. $148 on the net.

from their website:
Same Jar Capacity But Larger Water Volume Than The 21 Qt (#921)

So why that one?

For tips there's a shitload of canning info at Allcoast's Seafood board. http://www.allcoastsportfishing.com/cgi-bin/dc/f/index.cgi?az=list&forum=seafood&conf=advertise

Do a search using canning and include the archives.

The 930 holds 19 pt/14 qt
The 921 holds 19 pt/7 qt
I bet the 930 is like 1/2" taller allowing you to stack the quarts. Fuck
I like quarts but it might not be worth the $

The FDA or some fed agency doesn't recommend using quarts for canning tuna. Use the wide mouth pints not the small top suckers.

Adding vinergar to the water will also stop the white residue.
