Mirro aluminum Speed Cooker Canner 4 qt pot pressure valve lid w/ book 90s vintage new in box

Never used (worn open box) 90s vintage Mirro 4 quart pressure cooker, a Speed Cooker / Canner with the instruction manual. This is made to hold four pint jars.

This is a old fashioned pressure cooker, the pot goes on the stove, has a simple 'jiggler' valve. Classic 20th century cookware.

My mom and grandmas used Mirro pressure cookers for cooking and canning long before there was Insta-Pot, and yours probably did too! My grandma on my dad's side used a pot like this and made chicken so tender my mom talked about it forever. My mom canned everything all though the 70s and 80s in a similar pot.

And I still have their Mirro pots in my kitchen because I think the old 'black handled pot' might be one of the best pots ever made - I use it just as a everyday pot to cook anything and everything.
