I am a "Born again" canner. I used to to can tomatoes and green beans years ago. These "newer" models are very nice. If possible get a "jiggler", they are practically fool-proof! Gauges show the difference in pressure between the steam inside the canner and the room air. I am at 1300 feet above sea level, the adjustment isn't much. In Denver or Flagstaff, knowing the time required for your "expected pressure" becomes more important. The boiling water isn't as hot as it would be at lower altitudes, so longer cooking times might be required for some items (typically meats). Salt (or acid) usually preserves vegetables and fruits with less cooking.

I tested my pressure canner but the pressure valve starts to turn around when the pressure is building up around 10 and it doesn’t get any higher since it’s releasing some pressure if that makes sense, I’m dutch sorry. If i put a towel on top and press the valve a little bit down it builds up pressure again. If i remove the towel to press it start twisting around again. I filmed it but I don’t know it i can show that here?

It is so tender pressure canned. Carrots do get soft and aren’t as flavorful as fresh but we still do them anyway to have them on hand for quick meals.

This video is so helpful! I am considering purchasing the canner provided in your link, except I prefer to use the jiggler. Before I buy this product, I want to be sure they make a jiggler for it. As such, I went on Amazon to find a jiggler for this model #01781 (23 Quart). Unfortunately, when jiggler options come up, they are being listed with 7 digit model numbers instead of the 5 digits. It's very confusing and as a result, I am not able to find the correct jiggler. Would you please be so kind as to also provide a link to the jiggler that would fit the canner provided in your link?

@lorrainejeskey8467 9 ай бұрын

So does siphoning happen right at the end if you take the lid off too soon after the pressure comes down?

@abbeyverigin Жыл бұрын

Siphoning often happens when you have extreme temperature fluctuations. You want to try to avoid any sudden changes in temp. So the water of the canner and the contents in the jars you want to have be about the same temperature. At the end I like to let the jars sit for a few mins in the canner while it’s off before removing just to avoid those extreme fluctuations. Opening the lid for a few mins and then removing the lid a few minutes before the jars helps with this
