Me with no kitchen of my own, no jars, no pressure cooker, no beans, but a love of your videos *makes canning notes*

Add a splash of vinegar to the canner water to prevent the mineral build up on the outside of the jars. This tip keeps my jars so clean.

I also love my Presto canner! Have used it for about 3 years now and I am amazed with pressure canning meats,with beans!

Heather is the reason I tried canning beans a few years ago! She is so wonderful - I’ve been praying for her and her family these last several months.

Thank you sooooo very much for supporting Heather!!!!

Thank you for making this clear, Heather! I've been canning dried beans without soaking for a couple of years now. They always turn out nicely. No need at all to pre-soak.

Heather is such an inspiration to all I wish her a speedy recovery. 🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️

I love canning beans! Buying dried beans is so less expensive and canning some for your pantry is so rewarding!

🙏🏻 to Heather and so sweet to honer her, because of her I started to can. 💕

This looks ridiculously easy!!! Thanks for that:) I have a ton of dried beans but always forget to soak them the night before for dinner the next day. Canning them will be amazing.

Thank you so much for supporting Heather and her family! Thanks to Heather, I also canned a batch of pinto beans using this method and mine turned out great! I'm so happy to have these in my pantry.

Hi Beckie, I enjoy tuning in to your podcasts. I have also canned beans with the no soak method and they turned out fine.

Great video! Please do a follow up video after couple months to see how the beans look like ( taste)!

I’m trying this for the first time! I’m fairly new to growing, processing, and storing our own food and I love it!!

I am so thankful you are doing this channel! You are so relatable and easy to follow. You are very inspirational!

Hi Becky! Love your channel! I'm an apartment beginner homesteader. These beans were my first pressure canning experience. I used pint size jars and found on an other video those need to be processed 75 minutes ( vs 90 minutes for your quarts). Thought I'd add this here as it took me a bit to find the information! Keep going! Huge fan and I'm learning a lot from you 🙂

very good!! ive been canning over 25 years following the "Blue Book" and always wanted to know how to can dried bean ! Thank You!!!

This was lovely to watch , ive been following heather for a long time , but only recently found your channel , enjoying it..... she inspired me with so much . Thanks sgain from Scotland.

I have canned pintos many many times using heathers method. Always works great

Thanks for supporting Heather and family. You did well. I have got a 23quart pressure canner and have been watching Heather a lot and have used my canner because she gave my confidence to use it. Love to you and her family. From South Australia. Xxxxxx

I think it’s lovely you honored Heather this way. I started following her only a couple weeks before her accident. 🙏 Prayers for Heather at Kneady Homestead.

A great video, and canning dry beans could be a fantastic wintertime canning project, and you can enjoy the heat from the kitchen! Hope to see a video of you using them or recipe with them. I think I would have still used a tad or so of salt in canning them, not so much for flavor salt adds a level of preservation too.

I dry can beans all the time and it works out well. I've been doing it that way for a couple years.

Finally … a great bean video. I’ve been trying to find one fir a few days. Thank you!!!

Great video! Looks so easy! Heather is a great inspiration! Thank you!

thank you for your video; I am new at canning also and if it were not for Heather I would never have had the courage to start canning last year, she has been an inspiration to so many people and sending her our love and support will help her through this most difficult time. Hugs from northern Ontario Canada.

You are the best! Love Heather too and she has also been an inspiration to me!

In the evenings I have been binge watching your videos. Great video and it's heartwarming to see it's #inspiredbykneady.

Thank you! You make this look so easy!

Im doing this now. Thank you for this video

My first canner was an AA. I have 2 16 quart Prestos and a induction ready 23 quart Presto. I love the Prestos. Probably the best tool China ever built.

I love your channel Becky, you're amazing!

I just canned 32 pints of cranberry beans, black beans and small red Beans yesterday. This is my favorite method for canning beans! Thanks for sharing

I would really like to see a video of laying out your beds. Mostly the wood chips and what you fill your beds with. I am considering moving my garden close to the house.

Be careful. I think the presto is aluminum and will leach out into acidic foods(tomato based) cooked directly in them. I think you can get a huge enameled pot fairly cheap.

Thank you, I'm working on these right now

Oh WOW! Thank you for this. Several things, I have a glass top stove as well. I haven't bought a pressure canner because someone told me you couldn't use it on there as it would not support the weight, can / could cause the stove top to crack for break. The other is that my little sister's favorite thing was my mother's canned pinto beans. After she passed and we were dividing the foods in the root cellar there was just one quart jar of the beans. Between the six of us we all knew without a doubt, that perious jar was for Teresa. Now, I can surprise her with mine after watching this video. Thank you again! 💖

thank you so much I've been looking for a simple bean recipe

We have been canning beans (dry) like this for a long long time. Never had a jar go bad yet. Literally hundreds of quarts. Pintos, Navy, Great Northern, Black, and Red beans. We love the Pinto beans for making refried beans in a cast iron skillet. Great for dips, burritos, tostadas....you name it.

I only do pints because I live alone. I put 3/4 pint of dried beans in my pint jars . Since I use that many beans I do soak in hot water for a time so they will swell in pan not too much in the jar. It’s worked for me. On the bottom of my jar before I put beans in I put a 2” square of bacon in. No other seasoning . Ty

Ok so I'm so very new to this canning world and I'm not sure who Heather is but she sounds like she has inspired a lot of people and that is wonderful. You have been the one to inspire me to not just try canning which I did for the first time yesterday (water bath) it was truly exciting. I'm not sure what the purpose is of canning dry beans ??

I did see Mrs kneady's video , also Wipoorwill hollow, I just got a presto so i could do beans this way, reading my instruction book, will try soon, I guess we are rebels! God bless

After all these years of using Ball jars, I recently noticed that there is a very faint line on the neck of quart jars indicating the one inch head space. DUH! 🤯. 💖🌞🌵😷

I love Heather's channel, I have made these beans, they are yummy

Hello, I pressure canned for the 1st time yesterday, but didn't have enough jars to finish. I used the hot pack method. Now I have approx. 3 pints left. I refrigerated the rest in a glass container. To do these 3 pints do I hot pack them as I did the others. My pressure canner is the presto electric canner.

Thanks

I luv ur videos. More please!:)) I too enjoy Heather’s channel. Hopefully she will keep progressing with her PT so she can get home to her babies.💛🌼

Hi Becky. Love your channel and I have learned so much. Wish I had your energy. You have inspired me so much. Have you tasted these beans yet? How do they compare with the traditional method of canning beans in terms of taste and texture? Thanks for all you do.

Incredible video!!!

I haven’t canned in YEARS... When you get ready to do tomatoes this summer, I’ll come over and help!

I will be canning pinto beans this weekend with ham in it

try using a kettle for your boiling water. the electric ones boils super fast.

Heather also taught to pressure can, plus Bev.

I don't know if you did or not but the stream is suppose to be a strong steady stream in the vent then you put your timer on 10 minutes that way it's a full pressure. You want not but a strong steam coming though that vent

You did a great job on this video. I could easily file it and copy everything you did. Well done Camera angles were great. Clear speaking. Didn’t miss a thing…except why you’d need to can beans that were already dried. Haha.

They look great! One of my first canning projects, was canning up navy beans. But: I used chicken broth in place of water in my pint jars. FANTASTIC flavor! Now I’m wanting to do ham & beans. 🥰

I’ve been vac sealing mine in jars is this method better? Just wondered…..also been doing different beans together for future meals. Heather is such an inspiration

What Heather from the kneady homesteader did was check her beans for rocks and broken pieces then rinced her beans the put room temp water in them with room temp in the canner. Plus she used a little less than a cup of beans.

Love your videos! Can you do an update on these? How did they turn out? Thank you! 🎉

I really like the texture of the no soak vs the precooked beans when canning. You may want to purchase a weighted gage it has various weight option 5, 10 and 15 pounds and you just remove the weights you do not need for your altitude. So much easier than watching the dial. Thanks for the video!

I do this but I don’t add hot water to the beans. I just add cold water and my 3 quarts of water in the canner is cold. Takes some time to bring it up to vent but it works

My wonderful Aunt gifted me a huge pot, all the canning tools plus 4 cases of mason jars. She also gave me bags of beans and split peas. My question is, what is the difference between pressure canning and boil bath canning? thank you so much for all your content! I'm learning so so much from you!

I do that too on the beans but I went back to adding salt as it just doesn't reabsorb in as well once they heat up.

AH I'm so afraid of my pressure canner! But, seeing how easy it was... maybe I'll break it out and try to can some water as a test.

So curious how they are when you open it ❤️

Hey Becky! I’ve been watching you for a while, but am going back to watch your preservation playlist. I’m wanting to start canning, and had looked at the presto 23 qt canner, but also have a flattop stove. I thought we were not supposed to use canners on the flat stove tops, so I actually just bought the newcomers electric one. Is canning on a flat top stove ok??

That keeps ALL the flatulence-causing compounds right in the beans! Soaking and parcooking and draining removes some of them.

Awesome to find you! New subscriber here!

The thing with the all American, I have both sizes of all American and a Preston, they can't be used on glass or ceramic stove tops....we went and bought a gas/propane drop in stove top and hubby built me a big canning table with a bottom shelf also, so I can use at least 2 canners at a time...Heather has amazing videos, and Mary's nest or kitchen, I get them mixed up are goid too, and you might really like rain country, Heidi, and her hubby have great learning videos, I think you might really like her.,I just found you today! I think your channel is great, beat wishes to you..also maybe check out homestead Tessie too

You can waterbath with it also. The adjustable weight is soooo worth getting.

I use a cookie sheet to sort through my beans.

@Acre Homestead would you be able to do another video like this using pints?

One of my fears is exploding jars, both with boiling water and while cooking them, reassure me this is nothing to fear and all in my head 😅

I also follow Heather .

Love this!!! #InspiredByKneady

Becky can you please can some pinto beans in your instant pot. I just got one and would love to see you do this, so I can get some confidence! Thanks Darla

What about the games we normally soak out of the beans?

Thanks for the video, you present very well and provide great information. You mentioned preparing your salsa in the Presto pot - please do some reading on cooking in aluminium pots. They should not be used for direct food preparation due to the likelihood of aluminium leaching in to the food and the potential adverse health effects. This is especially so for high acid foods like tomatoes, salsas, sauces etc. There is no problem at all with canning in an aluminium pot though. I hope you take this in the manner intended - your kitchen, your rules so not trying to tell you that you are doing wrong, but hope you will do a Google search or bit of research on cooking with aluminium. Please keep up the wonderful videos.

I notice that you also have a glass top stove. I am new to canning and also have the exact same pressure canner. I have never used it. I was under the impression that I had to have a gas stove to use that canner so I invested in a Nesco electric pressure canner. I am inspired to try to use the Presto on my stove after seeing this (and a little nervous). What has been your experience using the glass cooktop? Any problems or tips?

Can you add seasoning to the beans, like salt or a clove of garlic?

Is it possible to do a water bath for canning beans?

The all American pressure canner is not supposed to be used on a glass stove from what I've heard because it can break the glass. Just something to keep in mind and do research on your specific stove 🙂

Hi hope this is not a stupid question. I have never canned beans before. Do you use them straight out the jar like supermarket tins or do they have to be cooked?

Do you have a video showing the results?

Also, can we halve the amount for a pint?

Hello :) First time canning! I did this today. Same canner, same size, same time, same type of beans. I did 10lbs mostly (sometimes it went higher and I adjusted the heat--my gas stove burns way hot even on the lowest setting). I'm at a less-than-1000ft elevation. Do you think 10lbs is OK or am I going to poison people?! When I took them out, some were hissing. Normal? Also, there's lots of water near the top. Can we put in more beans next time? Also, I did not put hot lids on (I did clean and dry them, but didnt know I could put them in warm water). Problem? Lastly, I was surprised to find there were still 3qts of water in the canner! I will do a saltless batch next time! Thank you for your video and any advice/info you (or anyone) can provide.

I don't have a pressure canner. Can I use the water bath method?

How tight do you screw on the bands?

Do you think it would be OK to add a spicy tomato sauce and cooked chorizo to the water before adding to jars?

Can i do add bacon or stips of chicken or no? What about spices?

Can you do black beans?

How do you like the beans using this method? I do the quick soak method for an hour then bring the beans back up to a boil in clean water before canning. I have been happy with the results doing this but now I’m curious to try the no soak method.

after they came out of the canner there was no liquid left, is this normal? they all sealed.

I'm new to canning and my wife and I attempted beans last night everything looked great when we finished however when we looked at them this morning almost all the water evaporated overnight. Are these still good?

Dumb question. At the end of canning season do you go ahead and restock your vinegar and such?

Hi, Beck, jdid you see the video RoseRed Homestead posted re: Testing the Presto Digital Canner. Would like your feedback on that. Learn a lot from your videos, thank you.

I have put off buying a pressure canner because I have a glass top stove. Aren’t you worried that the combined weight of the canner, produce, jars and water might damage or break your stovetop?

WHERE THOSE QT JARS? I HAVE PINTO BEANS I WANT TO CAN IN QT JARS. ONE CUP OF WET BEANS? I LOVE YOUR VIDS THANK YOU SO MUCH

What is the shelf life for this beans?

Can beans be cold packed?
