I place three marbles in the bottom with the water & vinegar. The marbles will giggle dance if the water level is about to go dry alerting you.

So, what do you think? Could the steam canner make your life a little bit easier? I know I LOVE it!! As always, thank you so much for being here!

Outstanding tutorial. You have a real gift for teaching.

I love my steam canner. Saves so much water!

YEARS back, there was only water bath canning dear. Even today, the Amish ONLY water baths everything… MakeItMake has a 3 part video on the Amish, water bath canning - it’s all I’ve done and the reason is when I was 10 years old, at a friends house for lunch, her Mom was first to get a pressure canner, it was the 6th time using it bragging up how much quicker it was but I SEEN it BLOW 😯 that day. None of the other housewives in our neighborhood got or wanted one - what takes minutes to pressure can will take hours to water bath can but… I make it a day I’ve no outside chores and put all my attention TO canning

Only one thing...check the head space AFTER debubbling. That air takes up space and once moved out it can change your headspace measurement. Just a tip someone told me since i'm new.

Thank you for this. I’ve canned for a few years and have recently bought this steam canner. I learn best by observing and you’ve been a great help!

I’ve watched several steam canning videos but still learned probably five new things. Great job.

Good morning Heather. I don't can but you make your videos so interesting and informative. I'm so proud of you. I feel like I know you. Blessings to you and yours

Very well done! Excellent instructions! Thank you. I have subscribed.

Wonderful, informative video and information! I Just purchased my steam canner and wanted to see how to use it before processing jams. New sub to your channel now! Really loved your style!

Great video! Thank you!

Thank you Heather! And yes that pop sound is golden!

Excellent tutorial! I had never steam canned until this year. Love it!!! It's so nice not to have to deal with the weight of a canner full of water!! God bless!

Thank you soooo much for such an awesome video tutorial!!!

Hi Heather, I've had my steam canner on the shelf for 2 years. Decided to watch your instruction video again and finally unbox and use! WOW! that was easy. I had 1 quart of peppers, that's all I got this year, and was able to can 4...1/2 pint jars and I'm excited. Not only is using the canner a first but so are pickled peppers! I've been very sick but feeling a tad bit better today. The steam canner made not loosing the little dab of peppers easy to save!! Thank you for this video!! ♥

Thank you! You did an excellent explanation of steam canner. Now I want to get one for my canning toolbox.

Thank you for your time and safe canning recommendations. You are a very good at explaining everything.

This is a great tutorial. I just ordered this canner. Your responses to the lids sealing is so adorable. It never gets old!! ❤

I think the steam canned looks like a great product!! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us!! Stay safe!!!

I really love your thorough demonstration of this steam canner! You are quite the gem and I really appreciate everything you share on your channel. Thank you again.

Very Informative Thank you! I am using my friends steam canner tomorrow and this has helped me a lot!!!! Thank you again!

Thank you for this video! This is the first tutorial I have seen for the Fruitsaver steam canner. I purchased one last year because I like the idea of not having to use so much water for waterbath canning.

Very informative. Thanks so much😊

Excellent video! I haven't used my steam canner in two years so I needed a refresher and your video was perfect!

Excellent tutorial! I’ve only ever been exposed to water bath canning (it’s the way Mom did it) but this definitely seems worth looking into. You make the process feel very approachable!

Great tutorial! I've had my eye on steam canners but didn't have the energy to deal with a new learning curve. But you just smashed the learning curve!

That's my steam canner and I luv it. Bought it last year. No problems at all.

Great instructions, and thank you for the vinegar tip. We have well water and this will be very helpful.😊

Love the instructions and video. New sub here. I wanted to warn when I left my water with vinegar on the stove overnight it discolored and stained the canner pots. I had left the metal rack in the cool water bath pot which rusted the rack so badly and I was not ever able to get it off and had to be thrown out because the rust would transfer to all my jars, lids and bands in the canner and ruined them 3very time I canned. I use very little vinegar so the amount didn’t cause it. The vinegar is an acid so I caused the damage

I love my steam canner. It allows me to do a lot more canning I can do .

I am super impressed. Your presentation was flawless and very informative. I had never considered steam canning before this video, but I am now going to add it to my arsenal.

Perfect! Thank you 😊

Brilliant. You are so smart, fantastic presentation. So well spoken. I searched for steam canning this evening; you and your excellent presentation graced my results. Thank you. I’m your new subscriber here in Texas. Happy New Year

I just got one, it is now USDA approved. But I waterbath like our ancestors did. But can not wait to try mine

I have one, love it

Thanks very much for explaining in detail! My 8 jars of strawberry jam have been saved😊

I bought one last year but haven’t used it yet due to health issues but I’m ready to try it out. Thank you for sharing.

Pro tip "put something on top" , thank you. First time using my steam canner

The reason people are confused is because the 2015 issue from the USDA, and subsequent reprints state that at that time steam processing was not recommended yet because they were still testing the process. That was 8 years ago. Unless the book has been updated, and not just reprinted, it will not include the new information.

Thank you for this very informative video. My steam canner is ordered and on it's way. I can no longer safely use a water bath method and the steam canner will allow me to continue canning!

I definitely want to get one soon. Some of the tomato canning recipes have options to pressure can and that's what I've opted to do for some of the reasons you gave. But this canner looks even easier.

This seems like a great product. We'll be checking out the BBQ sauce recipe. We've never made that before.

Thank you, nice video 🙂👍

Love my steam canner, I also have the fruit saver. I cannot lift my water bath canner so the weight was a definite factor when I got it. It’s also great to not have so much boiling water heating up my house.

Thank you! Been pretty curious about steam canning. New subbie here. Take care

I love my steam canner.

Awesome video!! My cat is Remington too 😊

Good video

Don't need to add vinegar to a steam canner . Only pure water evaporates to form steam, so there are no minerals in the steam surrounding your jars. Never had such sparkly clean jars as since I started steam canning

Thank you for this review! My electric Ball canner on my last canning episode started smelling like it was burning 😱. Contacted Ball & they said to throw it away. Got it as a present 4 yrs ago & warrenty was only for 3 yrs sadly 😭. Ive been hearing & researching about the steam canner. I love that it doesn't waste as much water. It seems easier to take jars out. It's hard for the older we get to take out of a waterbath.

Possibly, 2 reasons some people think steam canning is not an approved canning method are: 1) It’s not approved for LOW acid foods, which are most vegetables unless you’re pickling. Always follow the approved method for whatever recipe you’re using. But for HIGH acid foods, the steam canning method this lady in the video is demonstrating…IS approved by the USDA…and 2) I have a Presto pressure canner and wondered if it could be modified to be a steam canner such as dont lock the lid, take off the rubber vent hole cover, no jiggler, etc. I called Presto Manufacturing and asked if that was possible; and they said they couldnt recommend steam canning using their pressure canners. That doesnt mean it’s not possible…only that Presto is unwilling to take responsibility for someone doing it wrong and getting injured…which is understandable. I recently watched a youtube channel called Rose Red Homestead. That youtuber lady, an extremely experienced and safety-conscious canner, gave suggestions on how to use certain pots you may already have for steam canning. I wont describe the pot criteria she gave, but it might be worth checking out. I did not already have a suitable pot to use, so I ordered a pot (Harvest brand) specifically made for steam canning. If I had had a suitable pot already, I would feel safe to use it, following the advice from Rose Red Homestead.

Interested in pressure canning? We have an introductory video on that too!: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p6mnfMx0u5fPmGw.html

That’s funny, you just answered as I asked d my question.

Hi there, am loving the channel, but you should not weigh down the lid of the canner during processing . If it bobs and spits, then your temp is too high, and you should back it down enough to stop the spitting but maintain the green zone . It's in the instructions, and the lid is designed to float as part of that process

Hello- new to canning & I have been loving it! I bought a water bath canner that has worked fine but, I froze 8 gallon bags to do over the winter & was considering a pressure canner - now that I have watched your video… I think this would work for most things I will be doing! Like I said I am new to this & do t want to make a huge investment right out of the gate lol Tomatoes/jams/ sauces & not huge amounts. So what do you think… thanks for your help! Kim

I bought one on fb marketplace from a lady that steam canned ALL her produce. She gave me her book of notes too. I'm still a little nervous, but i made peach and strawberry jam a few days later. I dont love the idea of pressire canning because t really changes the textures and dont love the idea of water bathing something for like 3 hours. Seems excessive. But i also dont want to kill my family so i am doing all the reading and research i can from govt approved sources before i decide if i am comfortable going a LITTLE rebel.

ty for an informative video. my question is why water canning requires a water to be over jars by 2 in but it's safe to steam can with obviously water is not over jars

You make it look so easy. But my husband does the canning in our family. Which is okay with me. I just help where I’m needed.

Wow, your video made this all feel approachable. We are full-time RVing while we look for land and I want to start working on these skills. This seems like a good way to start! (And bonus - light-weight for the camper!) Would steam canning be good for canning pizza sauce? That’s what I’d like to try and can first because we go through a lot of pizza sauce and I want to start with things we eat often. Any good recipe recommendations? -Bre (our channel name is for my son’s videos) 😆

Thank you for this video. Excellent information. Question? Canning pie filling and it siphoned out. But they sealed. I cleaned up and took some out 1 1/2 head space and did it again. Again all siphoned such a sticky mess. And again they all sealed. I cleaned up one last time but didn't do a 3 time. ?Are they safe to store and use?

I bought a Fruitsaver after watching a few videos. But the instructions say to sterilize empty jars by boiling in water, covering them an inch over the tops for ten minutes. That kind of defeats the purpose of a steam canner, because now I'm using more water than just a water bath on its own.

I used my AA on my glass top for years , processed 500 plus every year. Canner needs to be flat when using canner on smooth top/glass .

I have an important question I bought this canner two years ago and I used it wants to do oranges orange slices and it’s sealed nicely but I was worried because even though I put the proper water level in and the temperature gauge was exactly where it should be the pot kept going up the lid kept going up and down with the steam and I was concerned that I was losing temperature like I said the gauge did not move but I was wondering what do I do in this case and does it really matter if the temperature gauge stays the way it should is it OK if the lid constantly goes up and down I tried to lower it a little bit to keep it from doing that but then the temperature gauge would go down so I was a bit confused and I haven’t used it since because of that this concern

Hi remi and punt. Bbq sauce.. interesting! I made ketchup, salsa, pizza sauce and tomato soup. But never bbq. I have also never steamed. We just heated the jar. What would be the biggest difference in needing a steam canner versus heating the jar.

Hi, I live in ontario Canada do you know what zone I am in or how do I find that out.Great video,would love to try the steam canner

Oh boy, I did everything (so I thought), but forgot to debubble). They are now in steam canner, so hoping for the best. 😞

Is the time for processing the same for steam canning the same as water bath canning. I have never used this and have a hard time finding time for pint jars of tomatoe sauce. Thank you.

How do you sterilize the canning jars? With water bath canning I put them in the hot water to make sure they are hot before adding the hot liquid. How do you heat up the jars? Please excuse if I missed it. Thank you very much.

Could I leave my jars in the oven to keep them warm while trying to fill with Jams/Jelly’s. If so what is your technique and what temp. do you set your oven to. TIA❤

I just found your channel today and also ordered my steam canner. I have a question. Do you have to watch the gauge as carefully as a pressure canner? Thank you so much for this very informative video!

I love my steam canner so much. It is a great work of art. Now I am wondering about salsa. Every time I look they all say water bath for 40 minutes well a steamer only takes I think a Courtney off I’m not quite remembering that would help oil away, I think. How many minutes for quarts of salsa

Is it safe to let the pre jarred contents in the jar to cool before processing them in the steam canner?

I am going to steam can tomatoes (first time), and wondering about timing for Qt jars. Same as Ball book recommendations, 45 minutes?

Girl - I know it’s been a year, but I bought this steam canner this canning season. I’ve used it three times, and each time, I’ve had 1-2 jars not seal 😢 - and yes, I used ForJars lids. As a seasoned canner, I’ve followed all instructions to a T. It’s breakin’ my heart 😢 Also, I tried the Bruschetta recipe last year - not a fan 🫤. What did you think?

Such a prompt reply. Thank you. One more thing. Google tells me I am at 1032.7 ft. (Just over 1000 ft.). Should I add mother time to process. TU

Do you have the same steam times as you do the water bath times? Say it’s 25 minutes in a water bath, is it 25 minutes in a steam bath also?

Can I can quarts in this canner. I just found the one I bought a year ago. I want to can tomatoes

Hello Heather- New to your channel. Just ordered a steam canner. What products make a good sugar substitute in jams? Thank you ~ Diane

I just got a steamer. 20 minutes for pints. How many minutes for quarts? Mine also has to be in the dark green.

Link doesn’t take me to recipe? Just to balls website. Can I get the bar b q sauce recipe please?

I just watched your tomato steam canning video for about the third time. I am doing tomatoes today in the steam canner like yours. As I fill my jars, I place it in the heating canner. As I lift the lid to add another jar and take out one being warmed, my filled jar lids start popping. Is this a concern? I am not sure but I don’t think they actually stay sealed at that time. I wish my confidence would grow in canning. I guess I wait too long between sessions. Thank you.

What ifI don’t have a temp gauge on my canner?

Hello. I am so new to this and just bought a steam canner. My question is, my elevation is 653 in Arkansas. Do I still allow the temp to go up to the green section?

Hello MsHeather Can I use other kind of bottle instead of mason brand ?

Hi Heather, what camera are you using to film?

What’s the timing for quart jars?

You not able to can soups with meat in ? Or stews ?

Can I can carrots in acidic acid,in a steam canner?

The link for the national center for home food preservation didn’t work can you give a list of what is safe please thanks

I wish with all my 🤍 that all youtube instructional videos were presented as well as yours. You are a gifted teacher. I’m sure I’m not the only viewer, who is hanging onto your every word! LOL! Therefore, I appreciate that you do not “clutter” your instructions with a lot of unnecessary conversation while explaining the various steps. You conveniently included all of the essential information and even provided a few bonus tips, which I probably would not have thought of myself. Thank you for taking the time to help the rest of us succeed in our home canning efforts! PS: I notice the gauge on your steam canner is identical to the gauge on the Harvest steam canner. I’m wondering…are these two canners from the same company?

Where do you go for Evaluation ?

It uses so much less water!

Very impressive video. Thumbs Up +1, Subscriber +1.

How long you heat up jar at 180
