Just a note, if your safety lock pops up there is some minimal pressure in the canner. The pressure is small enough that it will likely not register on the pressure gauge. True steam canners do not hold any pressure. This means that there is slightly higher temperature in the pressure canner compared to a regular steam canner. Not enough difference in temp to make a difference, so no problem.

@FarmersWifeHomestead 11 ай бұрын

Correct, and that's why it's also important to still wait before opening, so any pressure that has built up will be gone.

Actually I'd start the timer from the moment the safety lock goes up, because that safety lock only goes up IF there is enough steam being produced. So it is a handy marker for the begin of the steam canning time.😃

Thank you for sharing this wonder method of canning. We do a lot of canning, both water bath and pressure canning depending on what the item is. But never considered steam canning, and never would have thought of using our pressure canner. We are so excited to learn about it. We can beets (plain and harvard), green beans, tomatoes (plain, salsas, tom. soup, chili base, tom sauce), jams, fruits, meats, beans, broths, pickled peppers, squash, greens, mushrooms, not sure what else. So learning about steam canning will be a time saver as well water and fuel saver. So grateful to have found your channel.

I have not water bathed since steam canning (except for a planned video ) Don't forget though anything that needs to be pressure canned should still be. I do find though at this stage so many things I make need the water bath method so being able to steam can instead is such a time saver. Thank you for watching :)

@@FarmersWifeHomestead yep, we still plan on pressure canning all our low acid foods. Thanks for the reminder as some folk may think steam canning could replace that as well. :)

This is fantastic timing just as I was contemplating buying a steam canner! The first time I tried this I got a steady flow of steam, everything worked perfectly! My second attempt there was no flow of steam but valve did pop up and water boiled. I timed from valve pop-up. Any ideas why I didn't achieve the steam flow? I am also a little confused about temperature of water to begin! Still new to canning if these seem silly questions! 😊

@hollygray9014 Ай бұрын

As long as your stream of steais steady, there's no need to start over if the button drops. Button is for pressure, not steam. Steam canners don't build up pressure and still do the job. Thanks for the video though.

Where do you buy your equipment - the steamer and the claws thing to put jars in safely and take out safely? I have never canned/bottled but started watching a site of a US one I like and she also recommended that book but of course ordering huge pots etc on Amazon is totally unaffordable to ship to NZ. Even the jar funnels are hard to find I found a plastic one at Briscoes but haven't found the stainless steel ones.
