All this talk of pressure canning..I pulled all of mine out of the 
cabinet/shelves, and came them a good cleaning and once over.  I've 
never canned venison, but lisa has me thinking about it and IF I were to 
get a deer, canning it would be something new to try.

Found this site where I looked up the models of mine and got new manuals.

Because I only do this one a year or so, I always need refresher courses 
in it, so I want the manuals.  I know the old manuals are around here 
somewhere, but I can't find them.

Taking inventory, all parts seem to be there, I have all the plugs and 
weights and pan inserts.  The gaskets look okay, perhaps the worst one 
is the Mirror 4 quart pot.


Mirror  4 quart  15 weight...  No canning done in this pot...cooking 
only. I could not find a mirror canner that looked like mine.

I have cooked small batches in this pot-2-3 jars at once.
