Worth, I bought a 30 quart All American pressure canner nine years ago and absolutely love it. It is expensive and heavy, but built like a tank and will last your lifetime and that of your children and grandchildren as well. It doesn't need any gaskets and has a gauge and weight. I paid $240 for mine, but amortized over 20 years of canning it will cost only $12/year.
The 30 quart version will hold 19 pints jars or 14 quart jars (double stacked). I need this capacity for my canning needs, and along with the Victorio mill it makes canning a pleasure. I put up 87 pints of salsa in the past two weeks, and will start on tomato sauce this week.
