You need a canner that holds at least 4 quarts and has a triple-weight or pressure gauge so you have 5-10-15# pressure capability. A cooker usually only has a 15# weight.<br />Both Presto and Mirro sell small canners, as well as large ones- the best buy is a 16 quart Presto from Walmart - at $64.88 on line. I have one of these and use it all the time. I am canning bean soup tomorrow - these cold days are perfect for canning.<br />http://www.walmart.com/ip/Presto-16-Quart-Aluminum-Pressure-Canner/5913467Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060391185753177506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-44072753957939959642011-01-08T23:50:25.189-06:002011-01-08T23:50:25.189-06:00I've never used either a pressure canner or co...I've never used either a pressure canner or cooker; can one be used in place of the other, or must one have both?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-40977001179179356272010-12-30T12:16:12.600-06:002010-12-30T12:16:12.600-06:00Beth,

Both Myrna and I cook for small households and still can, just in smaller jars. It's great to just open a jar and have a quick meal.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060391185753177506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678264306526442157.post-76265060307892289442010-12-30T08:56:36.337-06:002010-12-30T08:56:36.337-06:00I really could have used the recipes and tips from...I really could have used the recipes and tips from you girls when my children were small.
