I purchased this stainless steel canner because I have hard water and aluminum canners have not held up well. I actually returned this particular model because it was not tall enough to fit some jars that I use for canning. I purchased the 21 Quart in it's place. Overall, I'm pleased with functionality of the canner but have a few issues: 1. I had to go online (YouTube) to get actual canning instructions. 2. It only holds 5 quart jars at a time. Most regular aluminum canners hold 7 Quart jars. 3. It is very overpriced for what you get.

this is specifically for the 32qt commercial series

Does not come with canning rack... Was about to use the smaller unit I ordered more recently for the first time, but need to order a rack... Guess I should have opened the box before now... I suspect that none of the Buffalo Canners come with canning racks, so plan ahead.

Otherwise, an attractive and solid unit. Will update reviews after I've used them.

Consider this review to be generally positive for now. Just be aware...

Excellent high quality pressure cooker- should last for years. The only sort of downside is that it absolutely will not open until every bit of pressure is gone. This is great for safety but hard for those of us who want to hurry it along. So I have learned to give it plenty of time. On the positive side, the closing mechanism is super heavy duty- a real plus because this is the one thing on pressure cooker that often breaks and cannot be replaced. I would recommend this product.

The media could not be loaded. Have yet to use it,but the quality is there! My wife and I expect quality and this pressure cooker is that . Thick wall pot, high quality valves. I highly recommend.

Update 02NOV2018: Yes this is a great addition to the kitchen, as a first try we decided to cook a turkey breast. We followed the recipe in America's Test Kitchen's Pressure Cooker Perfection "Turkey Breast & Gravy"pg.114 (also highly recommended and you can find it here on Amazon), see photo of book and recipe. Following the easy directions and browning the turkey breast before cooking was a snap. The gravy was a simple recipe as well. We cooked the breast for the 35 minutes with a quick release of the weighted pressure regulator, (wear a full sleeve mitt when releasing the pressure, tilt the weight away from you)) we waited a moment and opened the lid. See the video of the pressure cooker just at pressure, take a look at the flame height of the range top for an idea of heat input (medium low). The outcome is the meal at the plate within 40 minutes from start to finish.

This pressure cooker is AWESOME!!! Before I bought this pressure cooker, I checked most of the reviews on Amazon. Some claimed that it is not really stainless steel and not worth the money"¦ I would like to say THEY ARE WRONG!!!

I'm really happy with the pressure cooker so far: I can make whatever I want and it is very easy to clean up. I inspected it before using and I could tell it is very high quality; 18-8 (304) stainless steel or better for sure. I know some people might think instant pot is better. However after comparing with this product, I feel that dishes made with the pressure cooker had better flavor, plus the pressure cooker is much faster.

Overall I would say this is a sturdy, well made product, and of course it heats and cooks very quickly given that it is real stainless steel.Worth the investment!
