Canning Chicken (Super Easy Raw Pack)

[@jael6048]

I just wanted you to know that at 60 years old I just canned my first batch of 14 pints of raw pack chicken! I thought, go big or go home lol!! It was nerve wracking for me being the first time but I followed your instructions to a T and my 23 qt Presto performed like a champ. It turned out great!! Thank you for giving me the courage to step up to the pressure canning plate!! ❤

[@maggiedoor6093]

Reading your post gives me hope at 66 yrs to try. I have an upright freezer only for meat and frozen vegetables. I am concerned about possible rolling blackouts and don't want to lose it all. ( or claim on insurance) I once did tomatoes in my 30's and the lids all blew off, what a mess. I don't want to kill us.

Pressure canning is something from the US. I live in the EU and ordered my pressure canner in the US (costs a load of shipping and customs), but it was so worth it. I love the taste of the canned chicken. You don't have to salt it or anything. It is amazing and so easy. Love to watch your KZbin channel and God bless.

[@JaniceCrowell]

I love canning meat. It is so easy and it protects my food long term. In the freezer I risk freezer burn and also losing all from loss of power.

[@SofiaisSunshine]

If you lose power in the summer, wouldnt you still lose the canned food? Like down here in the south temps are regularly over 100 degrees with 90 percent humidity. Seems like canned food would also go bad quickly at those temps.

[@JaniceCrowell]

@@SofiaisSunshine no. There are no bacteria in the canned meat if it is sealed. I live near Atlanta and it can get pretty hot. The only issue is if you lose the seal on the jar. One reason you must NEVER store the jars with the rings on is to protect you so if you DO lose the seal it will not re-seal without you knowing it. Then you are in trouble. But it can degrade slightly over time if left in light or if temperatures do change often to extremes.

[@jorgenrangen348]

From a fellow pressure canner / oil and gas industry worker, it is always good practise to undo the clamps on the sealing surface on the side away from you first. If there was a pressure build up, it would spray away and not towards you. Obviously, the risk on these canners is quite low, as both the gauge and the vent would need to fail for there to be pressure, but it's good practise nonetheless. Cheers and thanks for your great content.

[@19ghost73]

Yupp! Same goes for opening flanges..."staying out of the line of fire" is what we call it in the chemical industry. We'd make it a habbit to visually check that the vent hole is not obstructed prior to putting the lid on. A light coating with petroleum jelly or some food-grade oil on the sealing lip of the lid is also recommended with this pressure canner that relies on a metal-to-metal seal alone. And, finally, when opening the lid, keep it in front of your face, like a shield, to direct the steam away from you, as the water inside is still very hot.

[@amariahg5450]

I canned chicken for the first time this year and I LOVE it! I can just dump a jar into a pot with some veggies and make a fast soup/stew for dinner, or shred it up with some mayo, celery, dried cranberries, salt, and pepper for chicken salad, or mix it with bbq sauce for shredded chicken sliders. The best convenience meals are home canned!

[@Genesis.1-1]

Just did this over the weekend and had 100% success with my lids sealing. I'm really stoked because it was my first canning attempt for anything. The chicken looks amazing in the jars and the smell was awesome just as you said. Next time I'll add just a touch more water to the jars because a couple have some exposed chicken at the top. I'm starting a pork canning project tomorrow, hopefully it will be another successful adventure.

I live in Texas, am 74 years old, and always use old odd jars to can in. They use those pickle jar tops in Europe, so we can also. Work just fine. Keep just fine. I also reuse lids from the two part lids (like Ball.) When I go to use old lids from pickles or other home canning, I boil the old lids 20 minutes to make sure the rubber is back in shape with no indication of prior use. Proceed as usual. The old pickle jars work fine - have been using some every year for 20 years!

Right after I saw this video a few months ago I purchased the Presto pressure cooker & canned pint jars of chicken. The meat came our very tender, I was really impressed! I don't think I will ever use the oven again for baking chicken breasts! They come out too tough! I've made multiple batches of canned chicken but many of them are with the 1/2 gallon size.

Thank you from South Africa. Our canning journey has started. I asked my wife to watch this video with me and based on it, got stuck in. Much appreciated.

Ooo I'm so excited! Just pressure canned for the first time yesterday. We have a large family as well, so this meals on the shelf challenge sounds awesome to me! 😍 We are mini homesteaders, nothing like y'all. We have a few sheep and a few chickens. Still haven't done very well with gardening. You guys are goals! 😍

[@teaves8251]

Just a tip I prayed for 3 years for. My garden was beautiful until the second week in June the past few years. Then the leaves and fruits would die off. I tried so many fungicides and fertilizers and clays to stop what was happening, all to no avail. Then I heard about PH. The ph level is very important. Any hydroponics store will have what you need to test your water, soil and additives to the garden. With the right ph level you will have a thriving garden. I have high levels of calcium and iron in my well water and this was the secret not a filter system.

[@tyramasters-heinrichs921]

Thank you, just did 30 chickens with my friend, sons and her son. I cut up 5 birds and I'm pressure canning the chicken right now. Need freezer room (it's that time of year). I'm going to try pressure canning broth next.

[@poodlegirl55]

I love home canned chicken. So many things you can make out of it. I take a jar of chicken, a jar of potatoes and one of carrots, add some frozen peas and thicken the broth with flour and put it in a 9 X 13 pan. I make biscuit dough to put on top and bake. So good.

[@meippoliti]

Another question! If one has ordered many of your classes, such as the canning and home management class, how does the Kitchen Membership differ or perhaps even highlight the great classes I have already purchased in the past?

[@lintonpair]

Great question. I own a heap of the giant classes and the latest is the cheese making. I just feel paying for the same access to info we also have is a bit naff

[@luwrolstad1274]

I signed up for more info but the tomato soup recipe looks familiar so I'm wondering how many duplicates I'm going to see.

[@ivykeawe9669]

Ladies where can I sign up for the canning classes?

[@luwrolstad1274]

Ivy, go to homesteading family's KZbin channel or Facebook page and message them with your question on how to get signed up

[@lintonpair]

Still doesnt give any answer as to why this of us who have bought many premium classes already should be paying a full price for the first 12 months

Made pulled pork out of SEVEN YEAR OLD pork sirloin I had pressure canned and it was AMAZING!!

[@MistyBlueJudah]

Always a joy learning with you. If you cannot afford a new pressure canner , is it ok to grab one at a thrift store? , maybe buy missing parts off eBay??

[@Rastarunt]

Yes! That would be a score!

[@livingwellanyway3279]

Certainly. Just be sure to inspect the gasket (if yours has one) and have your gauge calibrated.

[@elizabethcope1502]

I got my Presto for $15 @ thrift store. Go online & read about different caners . That will help you to buy a good one. Ace Hardware can order parts & they sometimes have them in the store. God bless.

Last week I found a 16 Quart Presto at WonkyWorld in AZ. for $76.00. {{I’ve had a $400 All American canner in my Amazon cart for ages, knowing I’d never be able to afford it!}} So now I have my Presto and ready to take the canning plunge.

Thank you, Caroline! I've canned 53 pints so far. All sealed. All great. Many, many thanks!

[@pameladonaldson1336]

How long does this have life shelf

[@yellomonkey5090]

@@pameladonaldson1336 The rule of thumb is 1 year - 18 mos. I've read comments on one of my canning groups by people experienced in canning meats who've had success 5 years out. It seems the only issue is the longer it remains on the shelf, the nutritional value diminishes with age.

[@mefolse]

Also, can a store bought chicken be used? God Bless

[@hvac1238]

Yes and you are able to Can any cut of meat as well. Just follow canning cooking times and pressures.

I love chicken but I especially love it canned. I started canning everything I could get my hands on in the early 70s. I would ask friends and neighbors who had canned everything they needed canned if I could go into their gardens and pick what was left. Great memories!

[@gregorychampion6391]

My parents canned a lot of chicken back in 1999, getting ready for a certain doomsday or something. We cleaned out there basement in 2019, found 2 boxes of sealed jars, and a single jar of black goo. Before throwing it all out, I opened one jar, and it definitely passed the sniff test. Didn't eat any, but I totally would have if I found it post appocolypse. The jar of black goo smelled like you'd expect 20 years of death to smell.

I butcher and can 150/200 chickens each year. We have a family of 6, but other relatives are close by and we share. In our home tho we eat at least 90 chickens through the year. I love canning different stews with some of the chicken as well. I'll thicken up the juices to make the best chicken pot pie once open.

Hi from the UK. I'm a rarity canning here. Many thanks for your films. Love the way you explain everything clearly. Many thanks. 👍

I use the lids up to 4 times, when canning dogfood but new lids when canning family food. They will seal perfectly a few times.
