The most important thing you can do to pressure can safely is read the manual that comes with the pressure canner. The second is to purchase a good pressure canning book like the ball canning book or the ball blue book. The information is amazing how much you will learn from those sources.

Hi, quick question if I may please: I know that flour, cornstarch etc. should not be used as thickeners. I saw a video where previously pressure canned potatoes were pureed and added to a soup and that seemed to work well. My question is: Can I add store bought potato flakes or powdered mashed potato as a thickener? If so, I would guess hydrating it first would be a good idea? Thanks for your awesome videos !!

Great info. I have a question: I’ve always had a pressure canner with a gauge and while canning I watched it and adjusted the heat down if it was too high. If you use weights, how do you know when to adjust? I like the idea of the weights but it’s not something that I have ever done.

@susanhoskins5285 2 жыл бұрын

Does the size canner affect the presser # or the time to process?

@baddog9320 Жыл бұрын

No. It just effects how much you can do at once. My first one was small as far as canners go. And it would have worked ok. But I used it for something else. A smaller one should heat up quicker and need less of a flame. To do the same job. But, you can't can as much at a time. But if a person is willing to take longer a smaller one will work. By that I mean the following. CANNER A, hold say 12 pint jars, and takes one hour and 15 minutes per batch. CANNER B, hold 8 pint jars and takes an hour 10 minutes per batch. CANNER A takes 5 hours to do 48 jars. CANNER B, takes 7 hours to do 48 jars. ( those numbers are not 100% just ballparking)

I’m doing your abundant pantry class and canned potatoes for my first time canning with your tutorial and yesterday tried ground beef. I referred to your hot pack chicken tutorial and used instructions from my all American canner on canning ground beef. It’s been about 20 hours and the seals seem good but on the edge of head space there’s some spotted looks like dark mold. It’s not on the beef or fat layer on top just in head space. The only thing I feel like I could of done wrong is possibly a little too much water once I put my pint jars in. Any help appreciated!

@HomesteadingFamily 2 жыл бұрын

Best place to ask is in the comment section in the class! We miss a lot of questions here on KZfaq but we answer ever single one in the classes! Could you be seeing some spots of beef fat that splashed up? If you canned it correctly it isn’t mold… but occasionally bits of the liquid splash up during the canning and look very odd!

@apiecemaker1163 2 жыл бұрын

It is not mold. It is the stuff that comes off the beef when it’s cooked. It took me awhile to get used to that. I thought it was mold at first also. I wasn’t used to canning anything but vegetables. Try to think about when we cook beef in a frying pan, we see that on the lid or on the sides of the pan. You’re good. You’ve got this. 👩‍🌾👍 Hope that helps.

Hi! I have been using a camp stove outdoors this summer to keep heat out of the cabin. I have had several broken jars during the canning process. 🤔 my jiggler isn’t going and I just hear the hissing but stays at pressure. And lastly, my canner is pitting inside. Too much vinegar?? Any thoughts?? Thanks!!

@baddog9320 Жыл бұрын

Here is a guess. Do you have the removable metal tray in your cooker? I know this will break jars not using one. Another, if the cooker runs too low on water..( busted one today because of that. I ment to add more water and when I put on the stove I forgot to add more water. So 2.5 hours later I had a broken jar.

My stove has 3 different size eyes. The smallest one doesn’t get the pressure up high enough. The large one is too hot. But the 2 middle size ones at their lowest setting bring the pressure to 15 lbs. I live outside Atlanta which is 850 elevation. Is having the pressure higher a bad thing?

Can you make lactose free milk at home? I buy it but lactose free only comes in "ultra" pasteurized at my store. I know for butter and cheese I can just buy pasteurized to make those things that will naturally be low in lactose. However, how do I make lactose free milk for lactose free ice cream? Also thanks for teaching how "ultra" pasteurized won't work like pasteurized does, saved me from wasting money and time trying. Lactose free is also very expensive when it comes to ice cream and you have to make your own anyway if you want flavors.

What happens if I accidentally pressure canned my ground turkey quarts at the pint processing time. I misread the guide & used the bone-in-meat for quarts, which is the same as the no-bone rate for pints. It's been longer than 24 hours, so I can't reprocess.😬 I did go under pressure, briefly, at one point, so I had to restart the timer for 75 minutes again, so I'm hoping that makes up for the 15 minutes? HELP!

In your beef stew video, can I swap out chicken for the beef? Thank you:)

So I made two batches and my T-Fal pressure canner. And I accidentally fully submerged, both batches. My first batch was mixed vegetables, and I hot packed them. I process them at the correct pressure and for the correct time. There was a lot of siphoning in the drawers. And the water was murky. I did not wait until it had cooled to open and take out the jars which caused even more siphoning. The jars all have good seals. Are they safe to eat? My second batch was shredded zucchini. Raw packed. I also fully submerged the jars by accident. This time I waited longer for the counter to cool down. But there was still murkiness in the water. So far the jars have good seals too. Are these safe to eat as well? Someone please help because I don’t wanna throw this stuff away if I don’t have to

Do you know the Nesco cooker/canner? I would like to know if you think that would be a save way to can ?

Check out Rose Red Homesteads scientific testing for the Nesco electric Smart canner. She is very safe and very scientific.

The NCHFP has not approved any electric pressure canners as of yet, so I won't use one, personally.

I am curious about how people preserved food before the pressure canners were invented. I have a desire to go back to the most simple form of preservation/cooking because it is usually the cheapest. For example: instead of buying yeast, learning to make sourdough. If we dont have the modern pressure canner, can we successfully and safely can food?

Most foods that are pressure canned, can be waterbathed. You just have to increase the time. Like for meat it's 90 minutes pressure canned OR 3 hours waterbathed.

I’ve wondered what the minimum number of jars I can put in my canner. I think fewer jars may cause venting and rising up to pressure to take longer. Sometimes I have only a few jars and can’t fill up the canner. The manual for my canner says nothing about this and I haven’t found anyone answering this question.

Good question

@midnitglory 2 жыл бұрын

I have found that when I use less jars I have a harder time keeping pressure steady. Maybe I need to vent steam longer than ten minutes 🤔

I’m just learning myself but I think I’ve read where you should fill empty jars with water (without the lid and ring on) to make a full canner.
