Pressure Canning in the Instant Pot Max

Here is the evidence on whether or not we believe the Instant Pot Max is safe to use for pressure canning. We present scientific evidence to support our claim.
Correction: The Presto digital canner has NOT been approved by the USDA. Their faked logo and disingenuous language..."meets USDA canning guidelines" is disappointing.
Sadly, the Instant Pot Max is no longer available.

Here is the information on the logger. I purchased the HiTemp 140 logger with the 2" stem and no shield from Thermoworks in American Fork, Utah. You will also need the connection kit and a windows computer. The software is a free download from their site. Call and talk to them--they were very helpful--great customer service.

@@RoseRedHomestead I appreciated the self-testing portion. Obviously if it isn't getting up to 250F then the pressure isn't getting up to 15psi. The reason why they recommend 250 for like 15-20m is because that destroys the toughest spores some of which can stand 5m of 250F. It is what sterilization autoclaves for biological scientific experiments use. It really isn't getting to sterlization temperatures and pressures, but I am sure it kills a lot of stuff.

I just came across this video and am soo glad to have found it. I’m new to canning and have been trying to decide which pressure canner would be the safest (in every area: pressure, temp, kill zone, etc) to purchase. This demonstration was exactly what I needed! Thank you for such thorough explanations. Thank you for your videos and turning the camera so we could see the roadrunner.😃

Thank you for doing this testing. I have been using the Instant Pot Max for canning for several months. I have not had a false seal. I sit and watch the canner the whole time to make sure that the time does not go below 240, and it has not gone below 244 doing the canning process. Safety is first. Thank you again for doing this testing. Change is good. This will help people who want to go this route, and provide options if they would like to use it.

Thank you for your comments. Those temperature levels appear to be pretty good! It all depends on the temperature of the food in the jars, but my data show that at those temperatures showing on the outside, the food on the inside is within the safe zone.

I had been using the presto canner of years, and yes, outdoors during summer. I own the regular insta pot and use it constantly but have not used it for canning. Now with the 'max' I will be able to can safely .

I love the data. Speaking as someone in steam plant operations, if you know the pressure you can interpolate the temperature with a steam table. For 240°F you need approx 25 PSIA. With that said, I'm confident my instant pot duo is able to maintain the pressure. I'd still be interested in doing some experiments with a logger.

@RoseRedHomestead 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your informative comment. Sadly, the Duo has been tested by the Utah State University extension and was found to not reach high enough temperatures to kill botulism spores. So, please be careful! The Max has passed my unofficial testing at 5000 feet and is the only Instant Pot with a canning cycle so far.

I started using my Instant Pot Max today and I love it!! It is so easy to use. The only drawback is that you can only do 4 pints at a timel I did 24 pints of tomato juice. The actual cooking time with the venting, cooking and cooldown was much quicker than my big presto canner. I liked the fact that you don't have to watch it continually to make sure the pressure is staying where it is suppose to be. I have set out 3 lbs of ground turkey to thaw and tomorrow I am going to do 3-4 pints of turkey. Thank you for your knowledge and your willingness to share it!!

Bless your heart. I am thrilled with this tutorial. I have resisted getting an InstaPot because I feel like it is another appliance I don’t need since I already own a regular pressure cooker,(not for canning use), a rice cooker, which I rarely use, but my husband does, and two crockpots. That being said, I have never done pressure canning and am now giving it serious thought, but my age, I’m a few years older than yourself), my semi-handicapped status, make me not very enthused about a big pressure canner. This small one just might work for the two of us at this time. I keep hoping I won’t live long enough to experience the latter day tribulations, but they seem to be encroaching fastly upon us and the prices are now going up quicker than I expected. I will look into getting this kind of InstaPot and giving it a go. You do take the scary down to a tolerable level for me. So thank you.
