    Which pressure canner is the best?

    We have 2 Presto 23 quart canners and two large water bath canners. I also stocked up on two of every spare part I thought we could ever need for the Presto's.

    Stocking Up, Putting Back, Prepping = Paranoia?

    I am having hard time understanding why, given the fact you have been broke and homeless, that you can't grasp where some of us are coming from.
