what is the difference in cooking between the aluminum and the stainless steel pressure cookers

The heat is the difference plus the cleaning. When I have cooked with the SS one that I had it handled the heat better without scorching. The aluminum has a lower heat rating(not mentioned anywhere just what I have observed). Also cleaning the residue from cooking from aluminum to SS different. But I am happy with my aluminum pressure cooker. There are a few small adjustments. The difference in price and size was important in getting a new pressure cooker for us. But If you don't have price in mind go with the SS. If price is a consideration/size the aluminum is a very GOOD purchase!!

Will 4 pint jars fit in the cooker?

The jars may not fit, per the other answers. However, here are the newest recommendations for water and pressure canning of tomato products: https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can3_tomato.html

What psi (pounds per sq. inch) does this cook at? Pressure cookers commonly come 15 psi (the fastest) but less-expensive ones often cook at 10 or 5.

14 1/2 to 15 psi. I installed a Presto pressure gauge and measured mine. ~14+ gently rocking. 15 with the rocker spinning moderately. You might also care to know that I checked Presto's replacement part numbers for the vent tube. Apparently all Presto pressure cookers AND pressure canners use the same vent tube. Savings from quantity manufacturing I suppose. THEREFORE, you can purchase the three ring 5-10-15 psi Presto Canner Pressure Regulator and use it for reduced pressure in any pressure cooker. And you can certainly use a pressure cooker for canning small jars.

does the regulator on top of the pressure cooker jiggle once it gets to correct pressure?

All of our current pressure cookers(besides our 8 quart stainless steel model), will have a regulator that rocks. If you have any questions regarding your cooker, do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service Department via phone at 1-800-877-0441 or e-mail at contact1@gopresto.com. Thank you.
