I can and am disabled. You just work out ways to be able to do it. I put empty canner on stove, then add required water, then jars, one at a time. Heat canner and follow instructions. When time is up and pressure falls, let sit 5 to 10 minutes; remove lid and carefully remove jars one at a time. Hot water bath, I put water in after it is on stove; when finished I dip the water out of the canner.
@lottatroublemaker6130 Жыл бұрын
@@shayshaymann113 Maybe, but lifting the whole canner filled with water wouldn’t be a very practical way of handling it. Besides, I would never be able to lift or carry even one of those electric ones, even if it weighs much less than a big stovetop canner. It’s still very heavy! I would for sure have handled it like @Georgia Gunn describes in another comment, and I would use the same method for a larger one as for the electric one. It’s for sure easier to set and not have to babysit the canner, I see that, but that’s a whole other matter - not disability-related. 🤗

Becky, when you blend eggs in this kind of blender usually eggs don't rise. It's something to do with blades cutting through egg protein particles. Did this couple of times for baking and stopped as everything came out deflated :( hand whisk or mixer does the job the best especially when using cottage cheese. Cottage cheese itself becomes chewy while baking sinking eggs as well. I would probably use ricotta cheese instead. Great video as always. Cheers from Toronto, 🇨🇦

@EmmaAppleBerry Жыл бұрын
Yeah this is also why cutting lettuce and herbs and things is a no no but ripping them or grinding them like mortar and pestle style is how youre suppose to do it. Changes the structure of the cells and they brown badly with the metal on them which also can alter texture/taste of the usually aromatic oils of herbs so will taste more bitter with cutting/metal than it would with ripping and grinding. Its crazy how much the "how" matters when cooking. And really most people think fresh food is best and sure if youve grown it it is but if not frozens healthier because it keeps the item as nutrional as possible. Kinda like freeze drying vs freezing. Freeze drying is better but its also way more expensive and inaccessible to most people. And the fact is unless youre preserving up garden produce or meals regularly that youll likely never actually need one and can just stick to freezing stuff. Its so fun to see all these sort of experiments and variations in cooking that even if you cook a recipe correctly just a drop of water can prevent a meringe or spoil chocolate tempering. Thats why its always good to know the basic food science behind cooking so you dont blow up your blender with hot liquid or crack jars with temperature shock etc.

@@georginaleavell5140 I don’t think she keeps track of it per se. I think when she sees that there’s no meals available, she’ll do a batch cooking session and refill her freezer with family meals for 6-8 weeks. It also seems like she gathers basic ingredients needed for most of their meals. With bulk gathering, she’ll scale up/down based on what was used in the past year. It seems like a smart system that works for them.

Just a FYI for you. Hope you've heard of Rose Red Homestead. She's a lovely older professor that's an expert in canning.

Anne, please don't misunderstand me. The Presto electric is very safe. I know that because of watching Rose Red test so many things in it with her testing equipment. The only caviat is no thick sauces and cube rather than puree pumpkin, etc. I've been very successful at canning all types of meat, soup bases dry beans, etc. The thick er spaghetti sauce was her only fail in it That's why I warned Becky. God bless all who pressure can.

Landscaping design, how exciting, especially after all the things you'll pick up this weekend! I took my garden down this week. While preparing it for winter I'm thinking of what and where to plant in the spring. The thrill never stops! ❤🌱❤🌱❤

Harvest Right says to defrost the freeze dryer EVERY load. Please follow manufacturers manual even though some like Becky say different. Its a very expensive machine, and you want to make sure you follow Harvest Right manual.

On the electric pressure canner, you can hold the arrow button and skip the heat jars and go straight to pressure canning. It saves about 10-15 minutes depending on the heat of your water.

Sometimes when I'm feeling overwhelmed with all I have to do I use reverse psychology on myself! So instead of writin "TO DO" list I keep a list of what I've done. This eliminates and guilt for what I've not been able to complete. I title it "TODAY I'VE DONE:" and have no expectation of a certain number of tasks thar are listed because I HAVE accomplished something!! This gives me a sense of accomplishment to see all that I've accomplished in a given day..

Use an empty vinegar jug for the defrost line to your freeze dryer so you can use that stainless pot!

Becky I sure hope you saved some of those seeds from the peach peppers to have for next year! 😊 Also, we write on the Mylar bags, with a waterproof sharpie, exactly what’s inside. We do store some things in jars as well but the majority of our FD foods go into Mylar bags. That includes single items as well as whole meals.

Becky, this is kinda out of context, but I accidentally ran across a video titled "I hate Acre Homestead". I couldn't believe what I read, & my blood immediately started to boil. Out of curiosity I decided to watch it, so I could leave a comment for your defense. Well, & I would say to my surprise, only I can't imagine how anyone could say anything negative, so it really wasn't a surprise, but the video was actually very complimentary to you. The guy was actually raving about how great you are, & the only thing that he actually "hated" was that he loved you & your videos so much. Anyway, I just wanted to pass it on to you, in case you, or others, would like to view it. 🙂

I feel you! So far this week I’ve put up 52 pints of applesauce, 23 pints of salsa, and a batch of dehydrated apple slices. I’ve done them all with my electric canner and for jars lids. It’s been so much easier than my traditional water bath canner, and all jars have sealed! Thanks for the recommendations! I still have more apples to dehydrate, more to sauce, and some to make into pie filling. The guys are up on an elk hunt, so I’m trying to get all the produce put up before we have an elk to process. There’s still tomatoes and green beans in the freezer to handle later, but they’re at least stable.

Added another 24 pints of applesauce today, for a grand total of 76 pints of golden delicious applesauce. This needs to last the whole family 2 years. Hopefully it’s enough. My kids and grandson love my applesauce 🙂

Becky, I learned from you to consider using my appliances to make larger batches in order not to use them all the time, and to spend less time cooking full meals. I swear my stuff stays clean for longer and EVERYTHING has more value. Thanks, you're the best! 👌 👍 😍

Yes, same! I used to put off using my appliances bc cleaning them took longer than grating a few carrots by hand, but Becky taught me to prep in bulk and freeze to save myself some time (and clean-up time) when I actually start cooking!

Those tomatoes look Sooo good . My heart breaks seeing you put those gigantic tomatoes into that pot all I could think of was all the tomato sandwiches I could eat and fried green tomatoes . 😋😋😋😋 I can’t afford a freeze dryer so I am buying a hanging vegetable dryer for herbs mostly. You were such an encouragement I hope you know. Have a Awesome Time at the conference 🌱🌱🌱🌱Thank You 😊

I always make 48 egg bites, put most in foodsaver bags and keep 12 in my fridge and freeze the rest. They thaw perfectly. I don't use miffin liners. Spraying that oil on the liners creates exactly as much cleanup as speaying the inside of the tin because you got it all over the tin anyway. The egg cups slide right out without the liners.

My 10 tray SS Excalibur dehydrator is a dust collector now that I have the Large 5 tray Freeze Dryer! The only things I can think to use it for is fruit leathers/roll ups & jerkey! That’s it, the FDer is so much better. I know the older ones had problems but these ones today are fabulous! My hubby wanted to stop me from buying pre-packaged Freeze Dried food and the only way was to order one! Canning is ‘Old School’ for most produce. It destroys so many nutrients! I FD individual items and vacuum seal in jars or Mylar bags depending on how long I want to keep them. Great for Preparedness if you have a large harvest or purchase. Good Job Ms. Becky! ❤️

Hey Becky, I’m a follower from Germany. We are currently moving and you give me so much inspiration and energy during this chaotic time. My dream is to have a big garden in the future but since we are moving to a house with only a small garden you inspired me to first have a look into preserving food and making freezer meals. I really enjoy watching your videos while cooking and packing. I really love your happy and inspiring way 💕
