I'm finally in a position where my garden is doing well enough that I can actually put some of the produce away for future use. Now I need to do some canning. Last week we made about 8 qts of pickles the hot water method just for testing purposes. Now I need to purchase a pressure canner to make full use of the veggies and fruits. I am considering the All American 10.5 Qt but I'm also thinking the 15.5 Qt would be a better choice. My main concern is the pot would be too big for my stove which is a glass top and the largest burner is approx. 10" diam. Is there a problem with using a canner that is slightly larger than the burner? Any other tips or items of interest for a first time canner?
Thanks
Patti
