Canning Meat WITHOUT A PRESSURE CANNER!!! The Method We Have Used For 3 Generations

WARNING! there are real risks of Botulism and Death with this method! If you try this at home do so at your own risk and consider these links below to inform your decision.
www.mass.gov/service-details/...
and the official USDA warning
" Pressure canning is the only recommended method for canning meat, poultry, seafood, and vegetables. The bacterium Clostridium botulinum is destroyed in low-acid foods when they are processed at the correct time and pressure in pressure canners. Using boiling water canners for these foods poses a real risk of botulism poisoning.
If Clostridium botulinum bacteria survive and grow inside a sealed jar of food, they can produce a poisonous toxin. Even a taste of food containing this toxin can be fatal."
The risk appears to be reduced if you fry the meat for 3 min before serving or boil it for 10min. and don't feed it to infants. Our Human bodies have become less resistant to bacteria over the past 50 years so what was a lower risk a generation ago, is a higher risk now. Please take the time to make an informed decision on this. There is also a higher risk of problems at higher elevations, so please look into that as well. I hope this helps and stay safe!!!

We might seem insane for doing this without a pressure canner, but our families have preserved meat (venison, beef, bear) for 3 generations with no ill effects....EVER!!!
Roger goes through the process he does and this meat stays preserved for up to 2 years.
One great thing is that if we lose power, we still have meat. Forget to take dinner out of the freezer? No problem. Pop a jar and make dinner in 10 minutes! This is Old-School Convenience Food!
Not to mention DELICIOUS!

I know this is an older video, but I get so tickled at the know it all canners that scream you can’t waterbath that! What the heck do they think other countries do…a lot of countries don’t even have pressure canners…. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and how people have canned for years before the government got involved

[@RogersRigs]

THanks for the comment! yeah it was a little risky making this vid against the grain of popular science. but since 3 generations of my family are not dead, and we just had canned meat for dinner last night, i think its worth mentioning this method. I'm hearing in the comments, however, that above a certain elevation, this does not work. i still gotta learn more about that.

[@scottb.9369]

Hi, would you happen to know if this method works for raw Turkey as well? I do not have a pressure canner/cooker but would like to put up some extra meat. Some have mentioned that it can be done with chicken also..

I think "pressure canners" were invented around the same time the US denied using the metric system. My granny just boiled stuff in glass jars sealed by rubber bands & turned it around when done. Everything was eatable no problems for 5 years or so. I always liked the writing on the jars, it had something of going back in time.

[@RogersRigs]

thanks for the memories

[@csmstreeter]

The only thing I would do is to put some vinegar on a cloth and wipe it around the rim of the jar before putting the seal on to insure there is no fat or meat residue that could compromise the seal. This is a GREAT video! Thank you!

In my country, the difference between canning salt and kitchen salt is iodine content; when I made the mistake 2 years ago of using kitchen salt, that has iodine, the pickles went to mush after 3-4 months. With the canning salt, I recently opened a big jar of pickled cucumbers from June 2021... all of them had a nice crunch

[@RogersRigs]

Awesome. thanks for the clarification and nice job on the Cukes!

Even if the table salt does not have iodine in it, it has a chemical to keep it stable. I used it once and it turned the vegetables black.

[@patvandevender1302]

We years ago always canned meat this way, but for 4 hours, once water starts boiling. No one ever got sick or died from canned meat using hot water bath method. Like you showed; once the jars are in the water, then water boils, is when you start your allotted canning time. If water starts getting a little below lids, add boiling water. Always have water in kettle heating for this purpose. I haven't canned in years now, but I miss it. To much fear mongering to push towards pressure canning.

[@RogersRigs]

Thanks Pat, Yes. in think this is 99.99999 % safe but the world has really focused on the tiny chance nowdays. thanks for the comment

[@sam__304]

Yep 4 hours for me and use 2 bullion cubes in place of salt

WRONG, no matter how long you boil it you can't kill botulism, that takes a temperature of 240 degrees. Boiling water can't go over 230.

My grandparents on my dads side did this every year. During the winter trapping season . Our favorite canned meat in the summer was beaver. Grandma added it to white gravy and biscuits. With potatoes on the side . Really miss them . Grandma battled lue gehrig disease for several years before she passed .

[@gregwesterman2115]

You ate canned beaver?! 👍 When I was a kid, we skinned out a couple beaver and ate the meat. It was big enough, we had to cut it in half. We actually saved it for a Thanksgiving dinner. My mom marinated it in a port wine sauce. It was absolutely delicious!!! We had also done the same with racoon. Had to watch how much you ate tho. Very rich in protein. Thank you so much for your comment! It brought back great memories of days gone by. 😊 P.S. Sorry to hear about your grandma. 😢

[@missbexx2139]

Finally someone makes sense!! Im new to canning and wondered why everyone says you have to follow what USDA say, you need a pressure canner. If thats fact then how did our ancestors can food! Thanks to your video i feel safer water bath canning

[@RogersRigs]

thanks for watching! Still reason t be careful. If you live at very high elivations, it can be less effective cuz water boils at a lower temp but i live at 800 and its fine. there is still a chance that you cant kill the botulism but the USDA does admit that you can kill it when you heat it up before eating. We alwas simmer it in a pan before we eat it. cold venison would be weird anyway. be careful, but yes i do think there is a way to do this Quite safely!

[@cm9743]

Sure, water bath canning is great for pickled foods and high acid foods, jams, jellies, etc. But whatever you do don't water bath meat. Just go and get a pressure canner. I actually prefer this over water bath canning anyways, as you can do veggies and such as well, and once you taste your own homecanned corn, for example, you won't go back to store bought!

I have a preserving book from the Australian Equivalent of Ball/Mason manufacturers from the 1950s everything was water bathed, meat, low acid foods - they need to be "bathed" longer and when you go to use it had to be fully heated through before eating. We dont even have domestic pressure canners in australia, only those that can afford to import from the US, same as freeze dryers

I've been doing this for years! Taught to me by my Grandma! Couple different things we do is we use fatty bacon on the bottom of the jar, pack the meat and then more bacon on top. add in the salt and you are good. We also boil the jars for 5 hrs. Never had aan issue. Keep the videos coming!

[@manofgod1044]

Thank you, it took me long to find you again, just by remembering that in your video you made it just easy. You just need a pot to boil, an a stove. it's an easy way instead of sophisticated ones of buying this, that and those. As someone said in a comment, this is an old way and people survived. I agree on that and in addition look at all the cans we buy at the store, they last a long time, therefore, why no to save a lot of money by doing yourself. Now, I save all size of glasses and keep them for my personal canning. My pantry is getting full seccions with canned food while my fridge keeps on looking empty, my fridge is now too big. Wonderful video and thank you, you had saved me a lot of trips to diffrent utencils stores.

I finally found someone who also use's the Hot Bath method. I have a pressure cooker that my Father gave to me, just before he passed away. I have never used a pressure cooker and actually I am afraid of using it. I have never canned meat but that is why I typed in Water bath's for meat. Thankfully it brought me to your site. I have candied beet's that I canned 8 yr's ago and they are still good!!! I am sure ppl would say "THROW THEM OUT". I Hope I can find more video's like this. Thank You!

[@RogersRigs]

THANK YOU VICKI i really appreciate the encouragement. I hope your caning goes well. THERE IS A HUGE WEALTH of information in the comments that go a lot deeper than this vid does. i have learned a lot. but this is still the basic method that works well for us and as im finding out thousands of other people

[@enascott5963]

The advantage of pressure canning is it takes less time and fuel . Water bath takes at least 3 to 5 hours to process 7 quarts. Pressure canned 7 quarts just 90 min. With all the safety features now days pressure canning is safe. Start with canning plain water, 1 you learn to can 2 you’ll have sterile water for first aid needs. Win win!

[@kathybirkett7986]

Thanks for posting this video! I used to can stuff when I was a teen/twenty-something and it was all hot-bath canning. But researching canning meat, they're all telling me to use a pressure canner. When I was about 12 or 13, I ate canned beef for the first time. My great grandma had made it about 20 years earlier. There was still a good supply of it and none of it was bad and it tasted amazing! I don't know if she had a pressure canner - I've asked my aunt if she knows, but I suspect she didn't. The way you can is the way I have canned too... sterilizing the jars and lids, whereas those advocating for pressure canners don't. No wonder they have to use a pressure canner! Great grandma's meat had a layer of congealed fat on top of the meat under the lid. The beef I have is very lean so I will probably add some rendered tallow to the meat before canning it. I think it will help with the sealing of it and add to the flavour somewhat. Anyway, yes, I know the risks, but I am with the other commenters who ask how this is done in other countries without pressure canners and government regulations, and they don't die. 😀 And I have subscribed to your channel to see what other topics of wisdom you have to share. 🙂

[@RogersRigs]

THANK YOU thank you! great stories and thanks for the sub!

[@kristineapodaca3173]

Uh. The reason it's beneficial is because it will reach 240°F, which will kill botulinum spores. They aren't killed by boiling. It's a rare circumstance but the consequences are swift and severe . But you do you

[@loladennler571]

Don't forget to clean the top of the jars with mild vinegar n water solution, before you put the lids on.

I always water bath canned field peas, green beans, squash etc just like my grandma taught me to do, until all the fuss about pressure canning.

I do use my pressure canner too but people go insane telling me the usda or fda blah blah blah but it never killed any of us cause still here!

[@RogersRigs]

yeah its hard to make a real-possability-of risk decision in this culture. I'm still a little scared that someone will watch this and die of botulism. I really think the risk is low, but as they say in dumb and dumber "your saying there is a chance" From what i have learned the risks are higher at higher elevations and if you do not reheat the meat before eating. but i don't think the risks are super high.

[@gabriellabennett5588]

Great segment. 3 tips that I have is check and lightly tap each lid occasionally to see if any have popped - then throw out contents if popped. When you open the jar is it bubbling? and smell - although botulism does NOT have a smell - something will smell off. And always thoroughly, thoroughly heat through. I was in Poland about 20 years ago and all the Babchka's (Grandma's) had canned pork in jelly and it was delicious and they ate it cold too lol and no pressure canner in sight. No one was dying - it's what kept them alive for generations. One home we went to in the country side had installed hot water only about 7 years before we got there and the homes were still heated by the cast iron stoves. I do recommend a pressure canner anyhow if you are so inclined.

I was to bring a recipe, a jar, lid and ingredients to cab a jar of something. Dad's recipe called for the peppers to be washed, seeds out and place in jar. Heat the vinegar, oil and water to boiling. Add salt. Then boil the jar in a regular pan for so long and let cool. My teacher said you can't do that. I said you told me to bring my recipe. That's what it calls to do. My Dad and grandma and I have canned peppers, tomatoes, green tomato relish, green beans and such without a canner or pressure cooker.

There is another channel that gives the science behind why the USDA does not recommend this method for none acid foods. She explained it could technically be done, but depending on your altitude meant how long you would actually have to boil something to kill botulism. Where she lived she would have to spend more time baby sitting the pot then she wanted, so she pressure cans everything. I can't remember the channel, but it was interesting.

@@thefreshvoice Between 2 and a half to 3 hours. There is not a particular reason for not canning chicken thighs just the fact that you got less meat because of bones and I am canning small jars. If I am doing something different? Yes. I cut the breast in small cubes,put them in a bowl,sprinkle them with oil,salt and pepper and let them in the fridge for a few hours. After that I add little water or stock over the cubes and mix everything and pack the jars. I add water or stock because the quantity of juice from chicken breast never covers the full amount in the jar and the meat gets dry. From there on I pack them in instant pot and press the sauté button only once so the simmering is gentle.

Chinese meat preserving involves a lot chilly powder, spices and modest amount of salt. The meat is not canned but stuffed into a clay jar and topped of with lard and covered with a lid resting on a layer of water preventing contaminants from getting into the jar. Were told the meat stays good for more than a year. A bit of Chinese wine is involved in the marinade in addition to the salt, chilly and spices. The meat cures and is taken out in small portions and steamed until tender. The folks of that south western province swears it's good meat.

Note that you MAY be water bath canning meats, but in 1917 The U.S. Department of Agriculture determined that pressure canning is the only safe way to process low-acid foods such as meats and most vegetables. Just because you and your Grandma and Great grandma did it and didn't die does NOT make it safe. Glad none of them died but I for one would NOT risk my family water bath canning meats.

[@RogersRigs]

This is a great point Robert, thank you. Botulism is a real risk here. I'm not sure how much more risky this is over pressure canning, but it is defiantly a higher risk, There is apparently a higher risk at higher elevations, i may do some more research and make a video that lays out the science and the real risks to give people a better grasp on the choices. If you have any more info to add i would greatly appreciate it.

[@RogersRigs]

i just added this info to the description and am gonna pin it to the top of the comments. THANK YOU for your Reminder! WARNING! there are real risks of Botulism and Death with this method! If you try this at home do so at your own risk and consider these links below to inform your decision. www.mass.gov/service-details/botulism and the official USDA warning " Pressure canning is the only recommended method for canning meat, poultry, seafood, and vegetables. The bacterium Clostridium botulinum is destroyed in low-acid foods when they are processed at the correct time and pressure in pressure canners. Using boiling water canners for these foods poses a real risk of botulism poisoning. If Clostridium botulinum bacteria survive and grow inside a sealed jar of food, they can produce a poisonous toxin. Even a taste of food containing this toxin can be fatal." The risk appears to be reduced if you fry the meat for 3 min before serving or boil it for 10min. and don't feed it to infants. Our Human bodies have become less resistant to bacteria over the past 50 years so what was a lower risk a generation ago, is a higher risk now. Please take the time to make an informed decision on this. There is also a higher risk of problems at higher elevations, so please look into that as well. I hope this helps and stay safe!!!

@@RogersRigs OK, so I did some research on the salts. Non iodized is perfectly fine to use instead of pickling salt. The only difference is it does contain an anti-caking ingredient that can make your brine look cloudy. Not bad tho. So it is fine for canning meats. As long as it's pure salt, it can be used for canning, pickling, and measurements are the same as for pickling salt. You can also use pure and natural Kosher salt or pure sea salt. Only difference is granules are larger and it takes longer to dissolve. I bet you could put kosher and sea salt in a food processor and get it finer grained to use. Hope this is helpful to you. I know I learned something. And had noticed a little bit of cloudiness in my pickles but no change in flavor. Have not seen any difference in my canned meats. I have used it to can deer, beef, pork and chicken. I have not tried my hand at canning fish yet. If you have, I would welcome any info on that. Thank you and be blessed!
