A microbiologist approves this message 😉

[@Pr31BossLife]

regardless of how you canned it OR stored it OR how it "looks" ... when you go to open a jar and it was not sealed... you don't eat it. PERIOD. The End.

[@RobinPoe]

Excellent advice! I learned how to can from my stepmom, and she was a stickler for cleanliness during canning. She also takes the rings off the jars and doesn't stack them on the shelves. She taught me what should be canned by water bath, like peaches and tomatoes, and what should be canned by pressure, like venison. It's too bad a lot of young people don't get taught these skills as much any more.

[@kaylahoehn]

I just went and took all my rings off my jars at 12:43 a.m. 😂 I'm brand new to canning

As a physician working in the ICU, I had to treat patients with botulism, and they were intubated for weeks! Botulism in a killer! Thanks for your excellent video!

[@jeanhorvath9567]

I know this video is over a year old, but I just saw it and am so glad I did. I've been canning for decades the way granny taught me. I checked all my canned foods (Yes, the rings were on) and found a few false seals. Thank you for literally saving our lives. Just goes to show you....you are never too old to learn.

[@ecleveland1]

When my Papaw and my Grandaddy built the pantry in their houses, the shelves for the canned goods were only tall enough for a quart jar. My father later built my mothers pantry the same way. I guess they knew the same thing you were talking about. I remember helping both of my grandmothers and my mother with the prep work for canning and the actual canning and they taught me the same way. Not a lot of boys got the benefit of learning to can and cook from their grandmothers and mother, but I loved it. My mother has taught all of her grandsons to cook also, so another round of boys will be able to feed themselves without going to McDonald's.

[@benlotus2703]

I found canned Peaches in my Grand-father's house 7 years ago ( Exp date : Nov 1981). Those canned peaches were better than any I had eaten in my life; many years of soaking in cane sugar for the win. Delicious food for my Scotch whisky hang-0ver that morning !

[@marblemason100]

Little late to this video, but this discussion happened between hubs and I this week. His mom and granny removed the rings, my mom and granny left them on. Both of us thought it was personal preference. After watching this, we will be removing the rings from now on. Learn something new every day. Thanks!

[@dennisbosworth3665]

This is so true! I've just started canning and I put a batch of Beef Stroganoff up to cool. After a day, I was able to remove the rings and support each jar by grasping only the lid - everything was sealed. As my pantry grew, I was admiring my supply when I put my finger on the lid of one of my Stroganoff jars ... I notice the center button was up. Curious ... I picked the jar up by the lid and it supported the jar, but still, the button on the lid was up. I carried it to the kitchen and when I put the jar down, the lid slid right off. Now that was a false seal! What happened was that during the canning, I overfilled that jar and some of the Stroganoff siphoned out and contaminated the rim of the class as it was under pressure and sealing. After a while, the debris on the jar's edge started to decay and that destroyed the vacuum but held the lid on kind of like a glue.

[@sunhawk9290]

I am almost 60 years old and have canned for years and years. This is the most informational video I have ever seen. Thank you Patera, I really did not know not to leave the rings on or not to stack the jars. Again TY and no matter how old a person is there is still room for learning.

[@jeaniejbutler4911]

you reminded me of a saying my mom and grandma always said..."the day you stop learning is the day you put one foot in your casket"..

[@r.h.3084]

Thank you for this. My grandfather has been canning all my life (34 years) and then some. It doesn't matter what he cans, you can guarantee 1/4 to 1/2 of it "just goes bad." He leaves rings on. He stacks things. He is careless with the cleaning and says "You're going to boil it so it doesn't matter." I don't eat any of it, and never wanted to do it. I figured canning was a great way to just waste half of whatever I wanted to put up, so I've been freezing things. What I have learned from your video and several others is that it isn't canning that is the problem, but carelessness :) I wanted to get into canning because I saw a video in my recommended feed about canning meats. I enjoy simple things like chicken and dumplings and beef stew. From what I am seeing, if I do things properly, there is no reason I can't can chicken in broth and have that part ready to go, or can some stew. All without having to worry about a large portion going bad. Thank you :)

[@maryinsanfrancisco]

I actually read the USDA guide to canning cover to cover when I was first learning how to make preserves and let me tell you you don't soon forget the section on botulism. It made me hypervigilant about making and maintaining a good seal and storing properly. Great video! Creators sometimes mention taking off the rings but no one has ever said don't stack your jars, that's good advice.

[@DrCarlaSeleme]

Wow, I have been canning for years now and have heard that you should never leave the rings on and never stack one directly on the top of the other but never really understood the reasons until your video. OMG!!!! I get it now! I vow here and now that I will NEVER, EVER do it again. I am canning a lot from my garden today and will employee these two basic but oh, so necessary techniques! Thank you for sacrificing your fencing time to educate us and help save us from harming the ones we love.

Woah, calm down

[@shirlebug]

I was fortunate because the Mississippi extension service had a canning class. First thing I learned was not to rub my eye when making pepper jelly :)

So glad to see you embrace "doing it right" instead of following grandma's old ways. So many of the young bloggers//vloggers use sketchy methods and follow with 'well, it works for me'. Canning is a wonderful skill, but food safety should be a priority over 'easy'. THANK YOU.

She's giving it out free and possibly saving lives!!!!!

[@sophywilson3930]

“ I don’t care if there under your bed, on the moon, in your underwear drawer!” Lol so funny 🤣 love it

[@katydidiy]

I couldn't agree more. Also, keeping the rings on prevents you from washing the jars well before storing. Leaving the rings on also contributes to them rusting. Maybe you are short on rings because they are just too rusty. Have you ever checked the price of new rings? You might as well buy a new case of jars! My mom always stored the rings on metal clothes hangers that she would open up with pliers, then she could hang them to keep air circulation going helping them to stay rust free. Also make sure the rings are washed, rinsed and dried thoroughly before storing. If I have some rusty rings I reserve them for giveaways, always assuming I will not get the empty back. My kids are the worst violators of this 😎

[@cindypye578]

I’ve only canned acid foods, and I agree; always follow the official safety guidelines. Thank you for doing this. Some people really don’t know.

[@persiusk]

I remember asking my mother in law why we had to take the rings off, she just said we didn't have enough and needed then for the next batch. Later I learned it was a safety issue. Hubby learned the hard way that you can't stack jars. It's also a great recommendation, in my opinion, to wash jars with bleach before storing them in the pantry long term.

[@camillabarnes6678]

Yes this is intense because she wants you to know how important it is. I bet you will not forget what she say!

[@JustPassingBy011]

Hi Patera! I have been watching your channel for over a year now. I came across this video and found it so helpful. Being new to canning this summer, I was stacking my jars AND leaving the rings on so I would not loose them. I watched this video and went to the basement right away and took the rings off every jar. 2 salsa jars were not sealed. I think you probably have a lot of new subscribers and I recommend you reposting this video or mentioning it.. Thank you for your dedication educating others. Makes me really miss my Grammy at times like this. Thanks again!

[@maryannbergeron9531]

This is the best video explaining reasons why you don’t keep bands on, you don’t stack and you properly follow directions when canning. Thank you so much!!!!! ❤️🙌🎉

I'm 71 and this "Rings On... OR...Rings Off" discussion has been a long but no one ever shared WHY...I'm a logic person, give me a reason. Now I have to go thru my pantry and remove the rings...Thank you for sharing..

[@eveny119]

What I got from this was the ring holds the lid in place (loosely-not air tight) even though it's" not sealed". Or the ring is actually causing pressure points which pop the seal.....Thus the food is going bad which you could eat before mold appears. I never knew this, nor have I canned before. I have bought the stuff to make jam first time so yeah great info.

[@trudyparman3861]

The directions that come with the canner will tell you to remove the bands after they've sealed and set over night. The bands can keep a false seal, if that happens you can potentially eat some very poisonous food.

[@mysticjbyrd]

Opening the jar should make a loud popping sound when the seal breaks. If it doesn't, then you shouldn't eat it. This even applies to food from the store. Common sense really...

[@MJ_n_Prophet]

Thoughts In Passing if the food spoils you want the kid to be able to come off. If they are sealed.... You won't know

[@DoseOfBaani]

Thoughts In Passing I've seen people keep the rings on for years and they never have problems. 👀

I am very picky on who's canning I eat as well, after seeing how some people just don't seem to take the care needed in canning, Canning is very easy, but it must be done right, no skipping any steps, and if done right its safe.

[@cynthiaesquibel3191]

That's so sad. What a horrible thing for your family. When my Nana taught me jam making, the only canning she did, she always insisted on proper procedures and extreme cleanliness, mostly to avoid that sort of thing. She had been an RN and had seen things like that in the hospital when she was younger.

[@katefine8980]

I work for a place that sells canners and jars and this lady’s info is spot on. Please also know lids are single use only. Also can within your capabilities. Don’t start with canning meat or items that require more experience and experimentation. Thank you.

[@lauramroberts07]

So when will you know if you can move up to canning meats and such? I'm just starting to can due to the world situation and my overabundant garden, but would also like to be able to can my chicken when I butcher. So serious question. I've always dehydrated before but decided to not just count on that.

Thank you for the demo. I have been jarring sauce for many years and do not remove the rings but am very happy to learn this. It’s certainly worth the precaution.

[@6996katmom]

When I first started canning 40 yrs ago, I learned real quick not to leave the rings on. They rusted so bad that I couldn't get the ring to unscrew. Now, I take them off, wash all my jars with warm water, dry them, then store them. I also learned to put vinegar in the pot of boiling water or the pressure canner to keep the film off of the jar.
