Very nice system, good to see. Several comments don't know gloves not required as food is being cooked and also think this community group has to follow re-seller rules. I wish we had access to a kitchen like this near us! What a beautiful facility and how wonderful to support small farmers and home processors. Let's hope this infrastructure becomes available in more areas and more people develop the skill and knowledge. Thank You!

[@jeremylaurence5636]

Wow! Great information!

[@belindacharpentier628]

Cool way for a large family or group of families to can their food for a year.

[@davidjooste5788]

[@scrapbookingwithjen8622]

Love this! Do the people working in there canning for themselves or do you sell these cans?

[@kevinwest4488]

[@JasonAlexzander1q47]

How many cans or size glad jars does each cooker hold? How long of a cook and how long to cool?

Is there anyway possible to get the tectonics such as timing etc

[@kevinwest4488]

trial..and error..you are required to test the seals.....by dissecting the cans ..and measuring seam,,,seal..width..and height...by manufacturer..as well as documenting temp..before sealing...there is also an headspace required..if using cans...about an 1/4 inch...if using retorts....rules change with non commercial equipment....you are required to document test specimens...about every six hours of processing...but to be adamant within this business...rules change constantly...you pay attention...to changes...which are governed by state...here.

[@914peru]

i would love to visit the plant and learn the trade

[@kevinwest4488]

now that is a good comment...the cost alone to run an retort and chain system is very high...the product can make or brake an farmer...

[@PrincessJasmineL]

No hair nets, rings on fingers, personal water bottles on the prep table?

[@bigjer62]

At 3:16 the gentleman places a basket of tomatoes under a bell hooked to a hose, what does that do?

[@betsysingh-anand3228]

It appears to me that it's a steam unit - I expect they do a flash steam to loosen the skins for easy removal. At home, you blanch in boiling water to accomplish it.

[@beautifulfuture7842]

what's the powder they added?

[@rahrahonamission7062]

salt

[@fredwiley3731]

I don't see anything wrong with their methods. They are basically using USDA home canning methods on a larger scale. I bet the food is really good.

[@scarjss613]

No gloves or hair nets???? Wtf...

untuk kilang memproses makanan balang, mesin retort jenis mendatar lebih sesuai, ia mempunyai sistem penyejukan, sistem tekanan balik yang dapat melindungi balang tidak akan pecah

[@Ringele5574]

I noticed all the hate comments on this video about hair nets and gloves, one even commented on botulism. Everything is being sterilized in the steam cooking process. The important thing they are doing is making sure the product is cooked at the right time and pressure for the product. Im assuming this is for their personal community use, and that community has determined their practices are safe. I am more worried about the sausage tubes I buy at Walmart than buying their product.

[@reurnrintipong5292]

Have training class

[@kevinwest4488]

you volunteer.

[@Tantrachar]

Guys make sure that the product is free from Clostridium botulinum, what may risk of botulism. Make sure that if your product PH is ≥4.6 then the F value should be ≥2.8 min.

[@showardnutrition]

Fascinating, but none of these people are wearing hair nets!!!!! eeuuuwwwwww!

[@peterpeplinski9923]

Yea and I bet they grew those vegetables in dirt that wasn't sterilized probably had ecoli and botchulism in it maybe even bugs. To think people have been processing food for 1000's of years without hair nets its amazing were still here.

Does not look sanitary. Nobody is wearing gloves, are hair nets, or apron.

[@songlyon7795]

Yuck, you all have your hair uncovered with fans blowing. I notice that workers use their bare hands to peal and cut food. I wonder how hair and more much ends up in the food?
