My first post!!!! My 20-year-old 6Q stove-top Cuisinart died (injector pin split and it won't seal), and no replacement parts have been available for several years now. I nursed it along as long as I could. I am looking for a new PC and one I can also use to can the buckets of great veg and chicken stock I make in the PC. My use is mostly as cooker (1-2 times week) but canning stock and soup is appealing to me. I use boiling water bath for tomatoes already, but would love to can what I now freeze and need a pressure canner for that. I don't want a huge PC/C, but one that stores in my pots-and-pans cupboard so I can drag it out on a weeknight for stew, but that I can also use to can 3-4 quarts of stock in after I've made it in the cooker. I am looking for long-term use, so willing to invest. Ideas for me? I have been stalking Fissler, Kuhn-Rikon and a couple of Fagor models, but want to know what the current thinking is. Thanks for any/all advice and suggestions. T
