BUFFALO37 Quart Stainless Steel Pressure Cooker Extra Large Canning Pot with Rack and Lid for Commercial Use - Easy to Clean Stove Top Pressure Canner, Can Cooker - Safety Goods Certificate QCP435

Great quality! Has worked really well and holds A LOT! Definitely recommend!

The media could not be loaded. I purchased the 32-Quart pressure cooker in order to make large quantities of nutrient dense chicken bone broth and soup.Some call-outs:- 32 quarts is big so it takes a little while to build up pressure (around 30 minutes from the time I turn on the pressure cooker usually)- It's easy to clean. Remove the rubber ring and clean it with a brush, wash top and bottom of lid and use the poking tool to clean the vent holes quickly, and then clean the base. It's huge so I have to tip it over the sink and spray rinse the inside.- The lid is supposed to be stored upside down on top of the pressure cooker for some reason so your lid is exposed to open air, if you care- There is a max line for dry beans about 1/3 of the way up the pot- There is a max line for liquids 2/3 of the way up the pot. Both lines are laser etched and sometimes hard to see until you find the right angle- It's VERY HEAVY when full of bones and waterThis makes preparing large amounts of food easy and efficient. My freezers are full of soup and chili, vacuum sealed in mason jars.UPDATE: 7/16/2018This is still a 5 star pressure cooker. One thing I noticed; the 32 quart lid doesn't always seal perfectly, although the cooker always works (just have to use slightly higher heat if not perfectly sealed). To get a perfect seal I run the lid under water for a second bottom side up, flip and drip the water into the sink, then place the top on the cooker.My Bone Broth Ratio:- Bones of 7 or 8 chickens that weighed 4 to 5 lbs. at the time of purchase (with meat on. I roast the chickens, strip them, then freeze the bones until I have enough)- 12 quarts of vegetable scraps (celery butts and tips, carrot buts and tips, ginger scraps, tips and green part of leeks. I keep them in the freezer and add to the pile as I cut veggies)- 12 quarts of water (this fills the pressure cooker to the max fill line. I suggest finding the max line before you start cooking because it's hard to see with steam flying everywhere)- I cook the bone broth under pressure for 2 hours 45 min, 3 hours if I have time. Allow to depressurize for 30 minutes after.- I strain the bone broth and immediately make soup or chili (While bone broth is delicious, I'm unable to drink it by itself. Wish I could).The pressure-cooked bones should disintegrate between your fingers. I grind them in the food processor into a paste to make treats for my dog. I wouldn't recommend this unless you cook the bones under pressure for at least 3 hours and check to make sure they break apart easily between your fingers. I hear chicken bones can be a severe choking hazard for dogs otherwise so be careful.

The Buffalo 12 quart unit is Very NICE.The fit and finish are a beautiful high polished stainless. My first test was two cups of water on a portable induction burner. Up to full pressure in 5 mins on High and the center weight made a nice steady ratllesnack sound.I shut the burner off and lifted the weight to do rapid venting. Lots of STEAM!!! SO COOL!!!NEXT I browned some bacon and onionsIn the Buffalo 12 quart pot on high.Added 5 cups of water and 1 cup of DRY PINTO BEANS. DRY BEANS!!!LOCK & LOADWe HIT full pressure in about 10 mins.Cooked at pressure for 25 mins.Shut off and allowed slow cool down till red tits DROPPED 10 mins (very neat indicators)OPENED it up and had delicious tender beans from start to finish in 45 mins total.Unbelievable. Pintos used to take all day.The Buffalo pressure cooker is a game changer for me. I'm very glad I did NOT buy an instant pot. Way too many bells and whistles for me. I DON'T need more microprocessor electronics in my life.SIMPLICITY please!!!Very easy clean up. Very easy to lock and load too!!! I love my new machine!Next will be canning. It HOLDS 5 quart jars by the way. FIVE.Good cookware is NOT cheapCheap cookware is NOT good.PS. This unit is very Safe and easy to operate. It exudes quality through out.Thanks to BuffaloThanks to AmazonAshley Overstreet

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.

Good quality
