All American 1930 - Overpressure Plug, Black - Rubber Pressure Cooker Plug - Safety Device That Automatically Vents Steam - Fits All Our Pressure Cookers/Canners

This item is actually hard to review because you don't use it until you need it. Then when you NEED it you really NEED IT!! We have 2 All American canners models 941 and 910. We do alot of canning in the summer and the 941 makes quick work of any canning job! The challenge with the 941 is its size and weight. It will do 19 quart jars at once! To big and heavy with all those jars plus not to mention how tall it is sitting on top of our stove, you can't see or put jars down inside without a step stool. We use it outside on a propane burner thats much lower to the ground...like a turkey fryer burner. Keeps the kitchen nice and cool too when we're outside. We use the much smaller 910 for smaller indoor jobs. It will do 4qt jars nicely. My wife and I bought them both with money we received as wedding gifts 15 years ago. Money well invested! We have never had even a hint of a problem with either canner! I just thought after 15 years its time to replace the extra plug we bought with the canners originally (and haven't needed) The original plugs are still working great never a problem! I would like to mention our personal experience to anyone that buys a brand new All American canner. Both our canners needed a breaking in period for the metal to metal seal to work properly! It took approximately 5-10 uses with water only before the seal really worked well! Bring the canner up to 15lb. pressure for 1hr. and let canner cool down. After 5-10 times of bringing it up and letting it cook for an hr and then letting it cool...the seal is perfect! We called the factory because at first the seal was really leaking bad on both canners even when we used the Vaseline as suggested in the owners manual. This procedure was suggested to us by a very nice and helpful employee at All American. He also suggested only using very little/light coating of olive oil on the seal! He said 99% of the people use way to much Vaseline in the beginning which is what Im sure we were doing. Yes getting the lid off was a problem the first few times but never has been since we use a very light coating of olive oil each use! Both units have sealed and work perfectly now for 15 years! We have never had to worry about replacing those silly gaskets! OR this plug knock on wood!

Even though the small piece of rubber was pretty expensive, at least it was a perfect fit and seems to be the correct one for the application.

When I first purchased my All American Canner, it leaked a small stream of steam from the over pressure plug. I didn't think much of this as I thought it must be normal. However, in less than a year, the leak became more pronounced and it became very difficult to get the canner up to proper pressure when canning. So, I purchased this replacement plug. The first thing that I noticed about the replacement plug is that it was much more supple than what the original plug was. The original from day one was very rigid, almost hard, to the touch. The replacement is very soft. This allows for a very nice seal that allows the canner to maintain proper pressure during the entire canning process. I would highly recommend this replacement over pressure plug for anyone that is experiencing steam/pressure leaks like I was from their plug.

I do a lot of canning. I currently have two All American Canners so it is nice to keep extra parts on the shelf so as not to slow down the canning process. I really like that All American has the same parts for whatever model canner you purchase. Mine are two different models so it's nice not having to stock lots of parts. These overpressure plugs are good to have in case you have one that is drying out from age. I can go for years before needing to replace one. All American is an excellent company to deal with.

This was the perfect fit and went right on our canner.

This replacement plug saved me after a spectacular, messy, and sticky failure of the previous plug. I just wish it had helped me clean the stove, microwave, and ceiling too.

I almost got hurt. At least I’m not sure right now whether I got hurt or not. I used this product and tried to cook some food in my pressure cooker. I suddenly heard a big blast and the entire house was filled with some kind of smoke. I almost jumped off the stairs cos I did not know what was happening. Everywhere is messed up with the food I was cooking and the product is by the side of the pot. I have to stay outside my house to get some fresh air for 20 minutes and I still have cleanings to do from the spill. Can’t imagine if the kids were home. Please do Not buy. Just buy the entire lid and safe yourself the trouble. It’s not worth it.

Fits my all american canner

We did not know that this safety valve may need replacing and that once it blows it cannot be re-used. The replacement we ordered worked perfectly. Thanks.

Scared the crap out of me when the old one blew out, the replacement worked properly

Just what I needed to complete my canning

as advertised and shipped fast

All great. Came right on time. My All American Canner cannot work without this high pressure relief valve. Happy to find this product on Amazon
