Teriyaki Chicken || Super Simple Pressure Canning

More often than not, beginning canners tend to start with water bath canning. If they fall in love with canning at that point, they're hooked for life. But they still often tend to be somewhat reluctant to pressure can. I get the whole "what if it blows up?" hesitation, but it's not going to blow up. It's super simple, super safe, and so incredibly productive to put proteins (and other things) on the shelf! Whether you're an experienced canner or a beginner, I hope you'll give this one a try.
xoxo,
Carter

Oh I love Teriyaki Chicken. Really does makes a pretty jar. Will it thicken or will you thicken with a slurry? Thanks for the video. Can't wait for the taste test. Have a great week.

Good question. I think if I'm doing it in a stir fry with veggies, I will just thicken the sauce with a slurry of some sort so I have lots of sauce for the veggies. However, I do also like just a "sticky" teriyaki chicken on rice. For that, I'd just reduce the sauce until it reaches that "sticky" phase. Always good to see you, Donna!

Hmmm. I didn't taste "burnt", but I did doctor it up a bit at serving time. Sitting here now, I can't remember exactly what I added. We'll have it again soon, and I will film it for you. Probably during the January Pantry Challenge. I like the idea of doing it with beef!

[@1fabricmom]

Hi- I have a quick question please. Upon seeing your cookware & your recommendations, I ordered the stainless steel pots in your link. After ordering I read the reviews, which are saying the frying pans rust & peel, & problems with the baking sheets. Everyone speaks highly of the stainless steel items, but not the other items. Before I open the pans, I was wondering what your experience has been with the frying pans & baking sheets in the set? Thank you so much for your reply. I love all your videos & recipes!

[@growandpreserve]

Hey Terry! I love my Babish pots and pans. The fry pans are carbon steel. I love it, but you have to be ok with the well-used look as they season. Mine have not peeled or rusted, and they’ve seen lots of use! I also have 2 other non-Babish carbon steel pans that I’ve had for years. I’ve had no issues with any of them. I don’t put them in the dishwasher. I clean them after dinner and rub some avocado oil on the inside, just like I would do with cast iron. The carbon steel, though, is much lighter than cast iron. If you’d like to email me at [e-mail], I will send you pics tomorrow of my carbon steel pans so you can see how you feel about the patina. I’m not sure what could go wrong with a baking sheet, but I’ve had no problems with mine. I’m happy to help, so don’t hesitate to email me. Glad to have you here, Terry!

[@growandpreserve]

I've had several positive reviews on this one, but for me, I find chicken canned in added liquid turns out a bit dry. The flavor of the sauce is great, but for me, it works better added to something quite saucy with some softer textures (egg roll in a bowl) than it does as a standalone dish. I might do it again one of these days with stew beef instead of chicken. Hope that helps!

Is the sauce thick enough or will it need thickened before serving? If it needs thickening can we add clear gel?

I don't usually thicken sauces, but you might want to before serving. I have never used ClearJel, but if you are comfortable with it, I don't see a problem adding some to the recipe.

[@stephaniejackson8555]

aboiding oil in pressure canning, is the sesame oil okay in this?

[@growandpreserve]

Yes, it’s fine. The temp in a pressure canner doesn’t exceed 250F, well below sesame oil’s smoke point of 410F. The proper headspace allows air to be pushed out of the jar, so there’s no oxidation either. Great question, Stephanie!

[@1fabricmom]

What is the processing time please? Thanks for this video!

[@growandpreserve]

Shoot. Did I leave that out? 75 minutes for pints at the appropriate pressure for your altitude. (or just 75 minutes if you're using an electric pressure canner that accounts for altitude automatically)

[@LittleLady633]

I was surprised how dark the chicken was in mine. Luckily trimmed chicken breast at the butcher was on sale! 7 pints..

[@growandpreserve]

Yes, the chicken is very dark from the sauce. I think it's going to be best shredded. I'm working on some ways to use it now. Hope to get into a "cooking from the pantry" episode soon. Love to see you here, LLL!

[@JMD242]

How long do you keep these on the shelf? Looking for a range.

[@growandpreserve]

Minimum 18 months. I think the general rule of thumb is that quality (texture, nutritional value) starts declining slowly after the 1 year mark, but the safety is not something that declines as a factor of time. Stord properly, home canned food can last a very long time.

[@JMD242]

Thank you! One last thing. Would a constant 76 (AC) be too hot and hurt the jars? My pantry is dark as well. 🙏

[@growandpreserve]

@@JMD242 Ideal is between 50-70F; however, most sources acknowledge that keeping them below 85 is good. Dark definitely helps. If it makes you fell better...I packed up a bunch of filled jars a couple years ago for a 250 mile move in July. They were all fine.

Yes! Are you familiar with Pomona's Pectin? It's the pectin I use because it sets without sugar. I use allulose, but they have recipes for stevia or monk fruit as well. If you can do no-sugar added fruit juices or honey, they have recipes for those as well. I have made many of their recipes. Even the ones that call for reduced amounts of sugar, I have replaced the sugar with allulose.

[@johnandsheilaalderson]

I’m new to canning. I’ve been binge watching videos and binge canning for a few months now. I’m confused as to why any home recipe cannot be canned. I assume it’s because it hasn’t been tested in a lab to ensure the internal temp of all ingredients reach what they need to to insure safety. If that is the case and we can’t just can anything, I understand books like Ball’s canning guide and stuff like that because I’m guessing they’ve tested all the recipes they put in the book. When you buy a book like the one you used for this recipe, by a person, not a company, how do you ensure proper internal testing has been done? I mean it could be you or me who writes a book with recipes. What makes her recipes safe and my own not (to can)? I ask with honest sunset, I want to know what seems a recipe safe vs one (like my own or your own) that wouldn’t be? Thank you.

[@growandpreserve]

Outstanding question. I will do my best to give you my perspective and some food for thought. First and foremost, the decision on what to can or not can for your family is yours. Unless you're planning to sell to the public, there are no laws governing home canning. There are no rules governing home canning. Even the various government and corporate "authorities" offer Guidelines only. Your own personal guidelines will come with (and possibly change) with experience. Unfortunately, this has become such a contentious topic, with such diverse views, that it's very difficult for less experienced canners to find their own comfort level. To your point, which sources are trustworthy and which are not? Regarding Angi's book, she goes into great detail in her book about the guidelines that she follows. It's up to you to determine if you are comfortable with them or not. (I will say that she is very conservative in her approach.) I have other canning books, in which one or more of the recipes is not something that would make me comfortable. I recently bought a "canning book" that was so far outside my comfort zone that I threw it out. In considering canning your own recipe, there are things you might want to consider. **First, are there any "red flag" ingredients that you should research for yourself (maybe things like thickeners, rice, pasta, dairy, etc). Some consider these things totally taboo. Others say anything goes. Maybe after your own research, you fall into one of the many shades of gray? **Second, do you need to make any adjustments to the recipe in order to have the best quality outcome after processing? For example, in my Brunswick Stew recipe, I modify how I treat the potatoes when I'm canning versus preparing to eat fresh or freeze. In this coming Saturday's video, I modify how I treat the beans in the canning version versus how I would treat them if planning to only eat fresh or frozen. Seasonings and heat levels might also need to be adjusted to account for potential changes during processing. I also mention this in Saturday's upcoming video. **Third, find your own personal litmus test. If your child or grandchild were looking for something to eat, would you serve that jar to them without hesitation? If there's any doubt, keep gaining experience before you re-evaluate a canning recipe at a later date. Some of my thoughts on how to approach a canning journey: **An "Approved" recipe is simply one recipe that has been tested and deemed safe. It is NOT, and was never intended, to be the only recipe for a dish that is safe. Just because the government or Ball have not tested a specific recipe does NOT make it unsafe. Rather, it makes it untested. It is up to you to determine if it fits within your own guidelines. **Experience and common sense reign supreme in my view. Just because something can be sealed in a jar does not mean it should be. Just because the government says it is so, does not necessarily make it so. **Find your starting comfort level (Guidelines), and let experience move that needle along the way. Maybe you start with only tested recipes. Maybe you're good with anything granny did and lived to tell about it. My guess is that you're already in the "somewhere in between" category. Take a moment to define what's currently within your litmus test comfort area. It may change along the way. Finally, if you have a specific recipe of your own that you would like to can, you are welcome to email it to me at [e-mail]. I will give you my thoughts on whether or not I would be comfortable canning it as is or what changes I would make if I were to can it in my house. I hope this is helpful. You can follow up with questions or comments here, or you should feel free to email me.

I recently discovered your channel and have enjoyed watching your videos. My only negative is giving out exact measurements on copyrighted material, which causes Angi to lose out on sales of her cookbook since you seem to make a lot of her recipes. You should only be mentioning ingredients and telling people to purchase her book if they want the exact measurements. I mean she is trying to make a buck just like you are on your KZbin channel.

It's definitely a fine line we have to walk, Denise. More often than not, the criticism I get is in not sharing enough of the recipe. Some folks get really very angry (oddly so) that I "make them sit through a whole video only to tell them to go buy a book". While my interest is not to please these angry people, it is to introduce folks to a cookbook I really enjoy. Angie has sold quite a lot of books directly from my videos. I can't imagine she would think I've done anything but help her while I'm trying to help all of you.

Side note: recipes themselves can not be copyrighted. You can google that information. Carter made changes to the recipe (allulose rather than sugar, coconut aminos rather than all soy) and so made it her own. And Carter highly recommended the book. I'm sure there was a bump in sales of the book from this recommendation. I for one really appreciate the exact measurements. I would not buy this $18 book to get this one recipe. But I might buy it based on Carter's glowing recommendation. "Similar to ideas, facts and history, there isn't copyright protection in recipes as mere lists of ingredients.
