I know this is an old topic, but my husband told me if I could find a good deal on a new pressure canner, I could use some of our tax return money to get one. I know somewhere in this forum someone posted a link with a very good deal for one, but I can't find the link. It was "espresso something" .  Anybody know if the deal is still on? Or have another one?

Also seeking advice on what size to get. The average one seems to be 21 1/2 qts. (pts?)  Would that be okay for a family of four who may or may not  rent a garden plot this year. If not, I'd use it mostly for jellies and canning my left over spaghetti and pizza sauces. I'd rather go bigger in case we get a garden some day than smaller and have to buy a larger one at a later date.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Oh, and I'd like All American, mainly because that is what everyone seems to use on here and here is where I will becoming with all my questions. Thanks.

Hey, Cindy!  Guess what came to the door for me a little while ago?  The box is huge, so I'm waiting for my husband to get home from his evening class to help me open it.  It will be a bit before I get to use it as I'm working quite a bit and have let my kitchen get away from me. Everybody cooks, nobody cleans. I need to make some space and haul my canning jars up from the basement before I can get going on this.
