You can't hold a copyright on a title. It would be perfectly fine to say the title of the book from the copyright perspective

I'm guessing that those 5 star reviews are fake. Thank you for sounding the alarm.

Thank You for the heads up ❣

Dr. Pam, rotate the older beans already in your level 1 containers, I do the same with flour in its canister, the bottom few inches can get old if not emptied and rotated atop the new.

Innovative. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the heads up, Pam. I hope you & Jim have a blessed holiday season.

I purchase on Amazon. A few months back I noticed many people letting reviews stating that the one they just bought has the same bottle but the product doesn’t look it small the same. This one on for months I began to notice that people are sure it’s a counterfeit so recently I was watching a man he owns a gym and he makes his own supplements. He has a line of them anyway he noticed I think three different companies selling his product so he thought he ordered it when it came. It is definitely not his product in it but the jar looks just like his he Contacted Amazon and I guess he is not getting far. It’s ridiculous that these places are allowed to copy someone’s product especially a vitamin that could be dangerous. They say many when they’re tested have nothing but sawdust inside of them and this is from all sorts of companies, you really have to watch what you’re buying . Thank you for looking out for other people. Have a Blessed Christmas 🙏🏻❤️❤️

This recipe looks incredibly delicious, and I'd love to help you recreate it. Gathering the ingredients is the first step to enjoying this culinary creation. Following the instructions carefully will ensure a successful outcome. I'm excited for you to experience the delightful flavors this recipe offers. Sharing the finished dish with loved ones would make it even more special.

The very best All Jar and All Bottle opener is a thin sheet of silicone. It will work on anything where you need a grip. You can toss or donate all the openers you have there. I am 72 and recovering from 2 (two) years of chemo and a broken leg which has left me in very bad condition. I ended up with trigger fingers and trigger wrist from my walker that I had to use after my non-displaced broken leg. My doctor sent me to a hand specialist and he gave me several wrist and finger wraps and he also gave me a sheet of silicone film. I no longer need the wraps but that silicone sheet has replaced all the jar and bottle openers filling up my kitchen drawer. The silicone sheet even works for removing the vacuum packed plastic that seals many food products where you are given a tiny tiny tab of plastic to facilitate removing this vacuum seal. I cannot remove that inner plastic with my fingers. But I can grip that little tab with the silicone sheet and I can easily list it right off. Silicone sheet, I guarantee and swear by it.

So glad we came across your channel. You two are fantastic and we are grateful for your thorough teaching! Congrats on your 5 years on KZbin!!

Sounds like a Chinese rip-off.

Wow…thank you for the warning. it is unfortunate that someone wants to profit off of canning’s current popularity, without valid research and safe tested recipes. Appreciate all that you!!😊

Thank you Rose. My husband would love this. He eats cheese, ground meat, chicken, cheese tortillas anything, hot sauce anything. He spent most of his younger years in Mexico and is very fluent Spanish speaking gringo :)) A favorite of his is the old fashion recipe of Nacho Eldorado. I make it with layers of corn chips, sour cream, cottage cheese, meat, jalapeños, enchilada and tomato sauce and my spices and I forgot we love lots of sliced black olives on it too. All one pot casserole. It makes enough for 2 days meals for us. It's gone before I can freeze any so your method would work nicely for freezing and canning. I now buy only block cheese because shredded is coated with something and doesn't melt the same or good like block cheese. I think for us the block lasts longer sealed up in seal a meal bags after eat shredding.

Thank you Rose.

Liars , counterfeiters, trying to make money off people health and lives. Amazon sell all types of counterfeit supplements also!

I'm a senior living alone, with back issues. I wouldn't be able to life that 5 gal water container at all. I have a pedestal sink in my bathroom. No way can a bucket go under it. I wouldn't be able to disconnect my kitchen plumbing either. Those are good ideas, but not feasible in practice, at least not for me.

Thank you for your perseverance in keeping us safe and informed.

I rely on reviews so thank you for a well deserved review concerning this con. I go straight to the one star reviews then maybe a few 5 stars. I hardly shop on ebay because of how hard it is to get to reviews. I think they aren't available, again. Big mistake, that. I don't know why they do that, aargh!

Safety must always be first, I do not trust anyone but the USDA's and the Ball's books about canning and preserving food. It is good that you have spotted that book and the risk (some times fatal) that goes with non-tested recipes for canning/preserving food from a reliable source. Also, there are some channels in this platform that do canning and preserving in careless and risky ways. Thank you for your warning.

Thank you for this announcement. It is truly dangerous to ignore tested recipes. Also, once someone gets into a bad habit, it's hard to break.

I will only trust your recommendations for canning. I have canned for years, but will not try any untested methods. If you have a PHD you know your stuff. I have not tried any pressure canning yet. About 7 years ago I bought a All American pressure canner and when it arrived in big red letters on the box it said not to use on glass top stoves, guess what I had (a glass top stove) when I moved to my new home 7 years ago guess what kind of stove I had (yes a glass top stove) I have since changed over to a gas stove and am looking forward to using my All American canner.

I wonder if the author used AI in "writing" the book?

Storing food in plastic (think BPA chemicals) is not in my "wheelhouse" of healthy practices.

Thank you for the update. It is very possible that this is an AI generated book with a made up author. We all have to pay very close attention to any books we are purchasing on any topic. It’s very sad.

thanks for being on the BALL, pun intended

Thank you for always looking out for us! Pam, you are the BEST!

Thanks for the heads up!

The stepladder! I have a little bit of vertigo because of high fevers when I was child and I’ve always felt unsteady on ladders. I muscled through it when I was younger, but now if I do not have a good strong handle I can grip I can no longer even use a stepstool. Most of the stepstools only have a bar at the front to hold onto and that doesn’t work when you have balance issues as well as bad knees. I am definitely adding that stepladder to my Amazon wish list. The item to get yourself off the floor! I have the little garden kneeling one that I bought for using in my house because I cannot get up unless I use a piece of furniture. But I don’t feel it’s a very useful thing to take with me all the time. But I am definitely going to look at the single-handed one you used because I just need to be able to push up to give my poor old knees that extra little bit of ooomph so that I can finally get off the floor. The item you used to get in and out of your truck I use to get out of lower cars. I have a four-wheel-drive and I can get in because it’s not as tall as your truck. I just boost my fanny into the seat and pull myself up that way. But I have a great deal of trouble due to bad knees getting out of cars because they’re so low. So I use that handle when I get out of my son’s cars. The only other way I can do that is to hang onto the door which isn’t probably very good for the door since I’m pretty heavy.

Hopefully Ball can issue a “cease and desist” to the author or Amazon. The title of the book is a flagrant attempt to scam people into buying what they naturally think is a book from and by Ball. I hope Amazon gets so many returns that they yank the book themselves.

I had that first jar opener you used, it is awful and I’m not even over 60😂!! I finally threw it out, it was just taking up useful space in my drawer! Lol

I am a newbie since 2022 and I thank you for helping us protect our families!! Merry Christmas and God bless to you and yours.

I would rather go with the Amish. They have been canning for years and know what they are doing. Sometimes you are too specific on things.

If you only knew what went on in the publishing industry!

Thank you Pam!

Good on you for pointing this out to everyone.

Thank you so very much for sharing your valuable knowledge. I've learned so much from your videos.

Thank you.

thank you so much for your truly helpful videos.❤

What a helpful video! I sometimes struggle to open jars so I'm going to order the OXO can opener. I'm tempted to get the truck handle too but I'm not really there just yet. Thank you!

Thank u for showing these

I have used a step stool to get in truck

My very 1st ball canning book is thin. Ive had it many years

Im wondering if i have that book....a good friend bought herself one and got me one too. The colors sound right. :(

Thank you!

I baked up my cookies this morning and they taste very good. A little dry so I dropped my timing to 12 minutes in my oven. Do I need to put a moist paper towel in my container to keep them moist or will they be OK. I worry it could make them soggy too
