Come Can With Me!! How To Use The Presto Digital Pressure Canner | Green Beans

[@erinmorgan8546]

Thank you so very much for posting this. I bought a presto pressure canner. Following your video, I’ve canned 10 pint jars of home grown green beans. I was scared lol Your video helped me SO SO MUCH! I’m here again to see if I can find a carrot video. ❤thanks again!

[@FavoredAcreHomestead]

@@erinmorgan8546 yay I’m so glad this was helpful! I actually haven’t tried carrots yet!! I love to though! Let me know if you do it and how they turn out!

[@willdwyer6782]

If you're doing cold stuff like raw meat, you can bypass the jar warming cycle by pressing and holding the start button until it beeps. It's not in the manual but I called customer service to ask about the risk of thermal shcok causing the warm jars to break while packing cold raw meat in them and they told me about the bypass feature.

[@GreaterisGreat]

Thank you for sharing your video. We also own the same digital canner and will probably get a 2nd Presto digital so that we can can more at the same time. However, according to the instructions, you should have the "regulator" removed before warming your jars, and the canner will beep to let you know when to put the regulator on❤️

[@shirlynb148]

I ordered & am waiting for mine to arrive. I have a Kohls card which they run specials ALL the time. With discounts I paid $212 but got $50 Kohls cash and $17 credit towards November. It’s deer season and I need to make room in the freezer so will be canning venison frozen from last year.

[@FavoredAcreHomestead]

That’s a great deal!!!! I hope you love it!!

[@Honojane12]

I've been looking at this canner and it was nice to see a good demo of it. I might buy one eventually, but I'm not sure I would can enough to make the expense practical. Of course the reverse of that is that I don't can because I don't have the canner!

[@FavoredAcreHomestead]

You won’t regret it!

[@rebaspanger5354]

I looked at this last year and thought the same thing. I bought it this year and wished I had last year. Go figure .❤️

[@bettylongshore9594]

I love my Prsto Digital Canner!!!! I pour the hot water from my jars into a pot and use it to pour over the food after filling the jars. I can't stand wastng that much water. Also, if you will use a measuring cup to fill your jars you will have less spillage when adding liquid to your jars. I have canned over 400 jars just this summer!!! This canner is a game changer for me since I cannot handle the big stove top canners now!!! I really enjoyed your video!!!!!!!

[@FavoredAcreHomestead]

Thank you!! I’m glad you liked the video! Maybe one day I’ll have the space for two canners 😊☺️😉

[@willdwyer6782]

I don't walk away until it beeps to tell me it's time to put the pressure regulator on the vent, and when it's done I let it cool as long as possible. I do a lot of canning with leftovers after I'm done eating dinner so once the regulator is doing its thing, I'll leave the jars in it until morning and put the room temperature jars in the cupboard while I'm waiting for the coffeepot to do its thing. I put leftover soup in half pint jars because they're the perfect size for brown bag work lunches to heat up in the microwave in the employee lounge.

[@baskingintheglory]

I just bought one of these. I've been doing green beans with my regular presto pressure canner and the temperature was going past 10lbs for me up to 16 even. My beans came out dark like yours. I did hear the electric canner goes to 15lbs pressure. So it will still burn the beans. My beans in the pressure canner a few years ago turned out green with no browning. Interesting comparison.

[@FavoredAcreHomestead]

Hmm that is interesting. My beans never taste burnt but mine come out that color because the bean in the green bean is a dark color. I know with this canner it doesn’t measure by pounds of pressure but instead it detects the temperature

[@nancyhartlage8626]

[@FavoredAcreHomestead]

Yes green beans are completely cooked after pressure canning. And I’ve never added meat to it. I think if you added meat you would need to make sure your canning time is for meat. When I open a can of beans I just heat them up in a pot with some salt and bacon grease! Delicious!

[@ibc9569]

Thank you for this, about to get one of these!

[@annagarza6225]

Thank you for your post. Does this canner tell you how much pressure it is canning with? I like the fact that it is electric and you can walk away from it. Don’t like the computer control of it. If I do get one, I’ll make sure to use a surge protector for it.

[@FavoredAcreHomestead]

I’ve read that it doesn’t measure by pressure but by temperature! This is from their fb page The Presto Precise Digital Canner - Temperature vs Pressure Busting the Myth! The Presto Precise Digital Canner (PPDC) is NOT programmed to process at 15 psi (or any other psi) when using the pressure canning method. This is a myth! Unlike the traditional stove top canner, the Presto Precise Digital Canner senses temperature rather than pressure. The built-in temperature sensor ensures that the pressure canning phase begins only when the internal temperature reaches 240 degrees F, at which point the digital canner automatically and consistently maintains that temperature for the processing time that you selected. This is the reason that there is no adjustment needed at higher elevation when pressure canning with the Presto Precise Digital Canner. The PPDC will reach and maintain the proper temperature no matter your elevation.

[@snookie65]

Excellent demonstration! How soon after you take out your jars can you begin a new canning session? Thinking about getting one for my bday.

[@FavoredAcreHomestead]

You can start a new canning session as soon as your first round of jars come out. I just pour the water out and start the next batch. You’ll love the canner

I know there's an instruction manual but I like to watch some one else do it to see the whole process of putting it all together so again thank you for the video!!! I do want to ask at the end of your video when you demonstrated the jars properly sealed. I always thought you had to keep the ring on. So you don't have to keep it on afterwards?

[@janicecolvin1849]

Yes, it will can 1/2 pints. I use that size for jam. But remember that not everything needs to be pressure canned. Jam, for example, is water bathed, and you can do that in the Digital Canner as well. (Can't water bath quarts as there isn't enough room to do that -- you have to cover the jars with at least an inch of water. Better to use a stove top canner or pot to do that size.) For canning, just process the food the same way as for a larger jar. You should look up the processing time for those smaller jars. If you process different sizes, process time is for the larger jars.

[@rebeccakirian5455]

I love mine.

[@chrisward7928]

Can you bypass the jar warming option if you use boiling water in the canner and fill your jars of beans with boiling water before putting them in the canner?

Here is a link to the helpful Facebook group. Presto digital pressure canner group Jar warmimg stage is part of the complete process for canning and its not recommend it be just skipped.

I believe I have the 12 quart. I got this for Christmas and I do not have the box anymore. From everything that I read, and for the one that I have, it does meet the safety standards! I remember last year looking at all of that and I was scared to get one of these because I didn’t know if it met the safety standards but I believe the Presto website says that it does.

[@4naturalmedicine]

Yes, I actually went on the Presto website last night and was reading what they said. It said it's approved for non-acidic foods with pressure & WB method. Apparently, not for acidic foods that require pressure? So I have to read up on what's considered alkaline vs. acidic & which method for each item.

[@FavoredAcreHomestead]

Ok so for the electric pressure canner there is only one size. 12 quart. If you want to pressure can it’s Model 02144 presto precise “pressure” canner. It’ll be around $270 - $300. Amazon has it.

I don’t BUT I would be happy to made a canning video of potatoes! I’ve got to can some anyways before they get too soft. I don’t see why you couldn’t use russet potatoes, but I have heard those are more starchy so if you do you use those make sure you let them soak in some water for a little bit and rinse them several times before adding to your jar and I think that would help with the starch. Starch is not a bad thing. It just makes your jars not clear.

Wish this was bigger .. only 5 quart jars at a time is not worth the cost to me.

I prefer to leave it on can.

Idk what altitude you are at but at my altitude it is burning everything up. I need to can at 10 psi you cannot change it from 15 psi. It has literally ruined everything I have tried to can. Huge disappointment

Oh no!! Are part of the Facebook group for this type of canner? They are extremely helpful in that group!

This is from the fb group. I hope this helps “The Presto Precise Digital Canner - Temperature vs Pressure Busting the Myth! The Presto Precise Digital Canner (PPDC) is NOT programmed to process at 15 psi (or any other psi) when using the pressure canning method. This is a myth! Unlike the traditional stove top canner, the Presto Precise Digital Canner senses temperature rather than pressure. The built-in temperature sensor ensures that the pressure canning phase begins only when the internal temperature reaches 240 degrees F, at which point the digital canner automatically and consistently maintains that temperature for the processing time that you selected. This is the reason that there is no adjustment needed at higher elevation when pressure canning with the Presto Precise Digital Canner. The PPDC will reach and maintain the proper temperature no matter your elevation.“

You dont need vinegar for jars with water.

[@FavoredAcreHomestead]

I add vinegar to my canner because we have hard water. Unless you mean because I’m wiping my rims with vinegar. I do that just to be extra safe 🙂 I guess a habit
