I, for one, REALLY appreciate your taking the time to teach us newbies. THANK YOU.

[@marybethsmith6458]

Thank you! I did not know I could try out my canner with only the water in it. Plus I am a visual learner so seeing the steps has been really, really helpful and taken a lot of the fear out of using my pressure canner.

[@amyschultz8058]

Thank you so much for making canning 101 with Presto. Long story short, I bought my pressure canner years ago , so excited and immediately I was told horror stories that flipped me out. My husband refused to let me return it and said we'll store it til you feel comfortable. We have always wanted to really store our own food, so I decided to face that fear. All my insecurities, you calmed and solved with these video's, all questions answered. We truly appreciate all that you do. Once our garden comes in this year, I plan to get my hula on . Thank you ❤

[@SuttonsDaze]

You can do it!

[@cherylann2271]

This is awesome!! I bought a Presro 16qt with the jiggler only and I have been afraid to take it out of the box. Looks like I will be doing some practicing this weekend. This was so helpful!!

[@SuttonsDaze]

You can do it!

[@felixdacat6572]

Thanks you for sharing your knowledge and experience with your recent focus on the Presto Canner...As a newbie to canning I appreciate you dropping the mystification and dread of canning and replacing it with clear, concise and reliable information based on experience....thanks again. (say Steady Stream of Steam 3X fast)😃

[@debbierichards3742]

Thank you for this video. I am totally unfamiliar with pressure cookers. Your video tells me more than the book or Presto's videos. Its a 15 pound weight, thats why it won't jiggle!

[@InspirationLed]

I have a presto pressure canner that I opened just the other day and plan on using for the first time very soon. I only have the jiggler on mine and was thinking I had the harder version to use, but now I’m happy I have this one after watching your video! 🤗 Thanks so much for this!!

[@bc24roxy4]

I have an extension office less than 2 miles from my house, They have yet to return any of my dozen calls to them. Presto sent me a new one right away. So when I need to get it checked again I will send it to Presto.

[@maryphelan5046]

This was the most helpful video on canning I’ve seen. I am new to this and my regulator didn’t jiggle and I thought I was doing something wrong. Thank you!

[@donnakowalski8185]

Thanks that was an informative video. I need to try this and get my canner out of the box!

[@dianatennant4346]

Very good explanation Leisa. Really I wish I'd had you around 30 years ago when I started pressure canning to give good explanations like that. I was new at it had a new pressure canner read the directions 65 times my mother was petrified of pressure canners so really didn't have a good backup system. Truly glad all the newbies have you you give great instructions and explanations.

[@Barbara-ki7uk]

Wow this was very informative. I have learned so much about the canner and it's great to see it visually. Mine was gifted from a friend and does not have the gauge but jiggler. I feel much more confident since watching . I only ever knew how to WB and was limited to what i could can. I know this has been posted for a year but still today 2022 It's fantastic. Now to binge watch the rest of your posts. Thank you so much you are amazing and a great instructor.

[@clairecrebar6943]

This was so helpful. Thank you!!!!!! You were clear, and understandable. Im new to canning and my Presto canner is still on order. I'm trying to soak up as much info. before it gets here. I'm a lot less afraid after watching your series on Presto. Great job!!!!

[@lisalovespumpkins598]

I just got a Presto 23 quart pressure canner. I watched about 5-6 videos on how to use it, and just wanted to pull my hair out, I was so confused. Then I watched your video & wow. Thank you for making sense & explaining simply how to start using it. I laughed when you explained why & how I won't blow myself up. I really was scared I would. I am rewatching it now as I am keeping as eye on the gage as I pressure can Hamburger Soup. You seem to know my questions & answered them in this video. Thank you for making this. You rock!

[@SuttonsDaze]

You've got this!

[@mommymawmaw1852]

Thank you so much for your tutorial on canning 101!! Your are the best teacher because you take time to explain about the parts, what they are for and a mock Run on two Different ways to use the pressure pot. I am starting to can and you have helped explain this for dummies excellently. ❤

[@bc24roxy4]

i back off on the heat when it hits 5lbs of pressure and then let it go up to 11psi other wise it goes up past 13psi...but i have yet been able to keep it at 11 psi it always goes to 12psi and that is where it stays so I figure as long as it is not going under 11 I am okay...have elec stove and got one of those canner burners you had it has helped.

[@cbass2755]

I just posted that very same thing. Mine bounced between 11 and 12. I felt the same..as long as it didn’t fall below 11 I was ok.

[@lanaebarb1984]

I have the same problem, but if it wobbles between 11 and 12, I am good with that. Everything seems to come out OK. I have canned both pints and quarts successfully!

[@jennybarruzza5383]

This was SO helpful! Reading instructions is great, but seeing it in action takes away the anxiety of blowing up my kitchen. 😁

[@SuttonsDaze]

You've got this!

Oh thank you!

[@helenh20mo]

thank you so much I followed your direction to the letter for my first attempt at pressure canning. your instructions were fabulous ... looking forward to more canning ... I have had my presto canner for two years and was afraid to touch it lol... but now I find it is as easy as using my pressure cooker doh! canning fest happening in my house this weekend 😄😁 cheers from Queensland Australia

[@SuttonsDaze]

You've got this!!!

@@SuttonsDaze total success just one buckled lid .. too tight twist lol we will use that tomorrow for dinner..

[@kimberly0606]

This was fantastic you actually answered for five of my questions and both of these videos.

[@Mary-had-a-lil-farm]

OH THANK YOU!! Have a dial pressure gauge on my presto canner and just switched to using the giggler,today, right now. but realized I didn’t know what I was waiting for lol. Of course I monitored the pressure on the dial as it was coming up. So I had to quickly scramble and look for a video. Of course yours is the first channel I checked, you never let us down. thank you so much. 😁.

[@jeanettemacleod5318]

Absolutely best video I've seen explaining the jiggler. I wrecked my hand me down Presto because I did not know how to use the jiggler properly! Thank you for explaining so well!

[@katehouser3683]

Really good explanation. I just bought a jiggler but haven't used it yet. Now I feel more confident in using it. I think I'll try fiesta beans next.

[@matronofthearts1266]

Doing practice runs like this is also a great time to practice canning water with Harvest Guard and Tattler canning lids. I just bought a jiggler for my gauge canner this week and Presto got it to me in just a few days. We do have an extension office, but I'm not comfortable going out in public since this pandemic started.

[@annlockey8552]

Thank you fir taking the time to explain especially for us newbies x

[@milliesecond102]

THANK YOU!!! I bought a new Presto pressure canner for glass top and induction stoves a week ago. I watched other videos that were good and I did a water trial run - but actually used my jars and lids. 2 days later (last night), I had the courage to can 15 lbs of organic chicken breast. I struggled with the pressurefollowed the head space and bubble/air space instructions. I struggled with getting the pressure to rise but finally got that to work. I panicked when I could smell the cooked chicken bc if the cans are sealed, you shouldn't be able to snell the food- and iron smelled metallic as well. When I pulled out my cans, the lids had black soot all over the rim and the water was greasy and scummy. I searched online for answers and was worried I ruined all that meat. This morning I found the jars had kept a good seal and I cleaned to lids and jars with vinegar. Your video popped up in my feed and now I understand about siphoning and why it may have happened. I also now know that my canner only cane with a regulater not a jiggler. I kept thinking they were the same thing and I was searching online why mine wasn't jiggling🤦‍♀️. I like the jiggler idea and will be buying one. After watching several "canning 101" videos, YOUR video is THE BEST!!!👏👏👏❤️

Excellent video! I just got my new canner and this explains everything so well! Thank you!

[@ericataylor1708]

Excellent demonstration 👍💯

[@Livin_Simply]

Awesome Series! Thank you so much for this. I have wanted to see how it works rather than just be told (or only read about it, about a thousand times). Seeing it in application and watching the differences between the gauge and the jiggle I get it now. I wasn’t raised around anyone who canned or preserved so When we started this journey I watched 100’s (and that’s putting it lightly) of videos trying to learn all different ways to fit our family’s situation for preservation and everyone does it differently. Videos like this showing basics on canning I love it. Thank you for all you do and sharing your knowledge. God Bless.

[@Pine-uc7pm]

Thank you for doing this video! Also, thank you for the information on the bread baker. I ordered it Monday night after your live stream. Can’t wait for it to arrive.

[@LadyC1205]

Thank you so much. Just finished canning london broil. This was my first project. This video helped sooooooo much.

[@Fishin_Fixin_things]

Finally a video that answered my question. How do you regulate temp on a propane stove? Most other videos talked about outdoor propane stoves. Mine is indoors.. One thing you can add is what your BTU output is.. FYI on your largest burner its 12000, 6000 on the 2 medium burners and 3500 one the smallest.. Very helpful, thank you very much.

[@linettejones2101]

Thank you. I just took my pressure canner through a trial run. I have learned so much.

[@Bluemoon-sd8vp]

You are a good teacher. Thank you.

[@thereadinesschannel7610]

Recently bought a pressure canner and have been doing my due diligence learning about what I’m doing before I fire it up…..from what I’ve learned so far there is some info out there that is best avoided unless you like playing roulette with food safety. You have to weed out the horses@*t from the hay as it were and it takes alot of time. Then I ran across this video that clearly and easily shows in minutes what it took hours to gather in bits and pieces. Now I see why Adding the rattle weight makes sense …..Great job!

[@aubreebooth9]

Your videos are awesome! Thank you for helping us new people to pressure canning! Your video is so in depth and explains many things most videos don't. 🙂

[@oliviagreen8853]

I watched this video and feel soooo much better. I was insanely afraid of this thing and learning all the safety mechanisms and it actually being used helps so much. I get my presto tomorrow and I may watch this video 5 more times before using it myself! Lol

[@Carol-ch9wj]

Watched this video several days ago......ordered a jiggler.....today I used it........thank you so much........love it!

[@janiceb2530]

Thanks so much! You are generous with your time and a great teacher … appreciate you so much… learning to find the sweet spot for my stove too! First batch of ugly chicken this week and it went pretty good, learned a lot… I can see it takes a little finesse and time to work the pressure canner. … So important to have this life skill..… thank you thank you!! I agree… It is fun too!

[@SpookyWifeSpookyLife]

I cant thank you enough for this series. I am new to canning and have only done waterbath up to this point. Ive been researching pressure canners and the 16qt presto is such a good deal right now. But i was beyond intimidated by the how to regulate that pressure. I was considering buying an electric pressure canner because i felt like it had more options as far as "regulation". But those things are way more expensive and the jar capacity is almost nothing! This "walk through" along with the tips in the series really took a LOT of the fear out of the equation for me. This video in particular really helped me understand how to get where i need to be and stay there. And that made it so much less intimidating. Im so grateful, thank you again Leisa!

[@theresaglass1831]

Thank you so much! Finally I got my answer to this. I’ve been canning for a little while and could never find the answer to this anywhere! Thank you. 🥰

New Pressure canner newbie!!! This was tremendous help. As I canned 9 pts. Of carrots today .just to start out with something easy. And all went well. But you definitely clarified the confusion to maintaining the pressure with the adjustment of the heat . I too cook with gas and normal cooking esp. When needing a simmer can be difficult. Thanks so much!!!

Thank you for this video! I watched the whole serious and canned for the first time this evening. I canned 16 jars of beans! Very informative. I posted my canning video on my channel and listed your channel in my description box for my viewers.

[@lucythomas4077]

Thank you so much for showing us new bees. Seeing it is always a good thing. The thing I have to over come is being confident with the juggler. I freak my self out thinking the giggler isn’t jiggling correctly. That’s why using both gave me the security I needed. I will get use to it. Haven’t killed us yet. Stay safe.

[@Judten1]

Hi there! Thank you SOooo much for your time to teach us! When doing your 10 minute steam, your stream is really good!! I use a glass top stove and I have never had a blasting steam like that! This is my steam at full bore when I time it 10 minutes. It always cans fine but I just never get a great steam flow. Thank you again.

[@brendadarling6181]

Unbelievably helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. My first canner I bought was an AA. I bought a Presto 16 qt as my second. Couldn’t afford another AA, haha. Using my new Presto for the first time, the instructions that came with it were not clear. I have the regulator. I’ll be purchasing the jiggler! I had it at 16# instead of 11# because I waited for the regulator to jiggle. Oops. I’m sure I would have messed up my load if it wasn’t for your video. Thanks a million!

[@johnbentley3433]

Thank you for the amazing info on the 101 videos amazing and very helpful information thanks you so much now I need to find a good used canner and I will be set !

[@susanolson4486]

@Suttons Daze Leisa, this was a fantastic tutorial! Thank you so much! I have a Presto, but just got an All American. This helped answer questions for both! (I wondered, today, about the "steam venting at a steady pace" and what exactly that looked like.)

[@kathyscott7382]

Thank you so much for this video. I have just purchased a new Presto 23 quart canner and had some concerns about the Jiggler. I thought all pressure canners had to jiggle when it was used but after seeing this video I realized they don't all jiggle. Haven't use my camera yet but now I can with confidence.

[@carolyn141fasl]

Thank you so much! I watch your videos every time I pressure can ugly chicken. I still get nervous. I couldn't do this without you. I ran into the same problem with my pressure gauge, there is no place for me to get it tested. I'm going to get a jiggler. Your the best!

[@marygillispie5397]

Thanks. I have been listing juice out of my jars. Now I know why Love you'll.

[@jean405]

I finally took the plunge and bought a presto canner on Black Friday. I’m getting it mid December, (I live in Denmark) so I will be watching this a few more times before it arrives. You are such an inspiration, thank you for all your time and knowledge. I hope I’ll be ready for Canuary🎉😂😂

[@bigskyhorse]

Thank you! Seasoned canner but have never used a pressure canner. I’ve watched so many videos without having the tiny details covered. You answered all of my questions!

Glad it was helpful!

[@Alexis_9339]

Love this! Want to get into canuary with a bang because I set a huge canning goal this year. My local county extension only tests gauges in may and I’ve been nervous! I didn’t realize I could get the juggler and ignore the gauge. Plus I like that I don’t feel like I have to stare intently on it to make sure it didn’t drop.

[@tigha0622]

First let me tell you how blessed I am to have come across this video and the one before this, today is my very first day of canning! I was in a panic with the noise and steam and spitting lol.... didn't want to blow a hole in the roof 😋 Second may I suggest for video purposes a black sheet if construction paper taped to the wall to show the steam stream? Thank you for all that you do to make us all better canners ❤️

[@KellieBeth]

I just wanted to say thank you!! I watched this in full before I began (first time ever using a pressure canner) and then referred back to it throughout the entire process and your video was super helpful to me!!

[@colleenjerns9239]

I watched your video and today used my jiggler for the first time. Omg it is so much easier than with the regulator. I canned 10 pints of raw pack round roast and three pints of water, double stacked. All the meat with for jar lids sealed. I had Kerr lids for the water. As par for Kerr lids lately one didn’t seal. Almost no siphoning happened and I didn’t have to watch the jiggler like I always have to have my eyes on the gauge with the regular. This is game changing for me. Like you said I can be near it doing dishes , folding laundry etc and not have it fluctuating and risking starting over or siphoning.

[@brendadodson674]

Love your video. I’m a new canner and I have the regulator and I have to watch the gauge. I ordered a juggler after watching your video and should get it tomorrow. So excited to see if it will make it easier to use my presto pressure canner. Thanks for your easy examination and definitely was good to see it in action.

[@brendadodson674]

I meant jiggler not juggler. I’m so excited to get started with my jiggler.

[@joycee5493]

Great video. Clear explanation. Thank you

[@JaniceCrowell]

Thank you. I just got my new 23 quart presto and was surprised the jiggler was not included. I just did my first session with the gauge and I hated it. For 75 minutes I was constantly having to adjust temperature. I ordered the jiggler using your link. I hope you get a commission from it. Every little bit helps.

[@debleger6914]

Thank you so much for giving me the confidence to use my new Presto Canner! I have a digital pressure canner but really wanted to can more than 4 at once. My new Presto has been sitting in it's box for over a week now. It's very intimidating when you've never done it this way before. Their instructions are so vague. I've been watching your 101 videos over and over and finally, I did the mock run with water this afternoon. Now, tonight, I'm making lots of jars of your baked beans! Thank you again. You are such a great teacher and a great confidence builder.

[@SuttonsDaze]

You've got this!!!!

[@dawnports6896]

Thank you so much. My older pressure canner you didn't have a dial and you didn't have to let it vent for 10 minutes. It had a jiggler. Thank you for showing the difference between the jiggler and the regulator.

[@SuttonsDaze]

Venting is absolutely necessary regardless of the type of regulator

[@livingthegoodlifeinwales]

Thanks Leisa. I was lucky enough to have a jiggler included with my twice used, 2nd hand, pre loved Presto canner so will be trying this on my next session. I watched this, and another video about jigglers, so I think I got it now! 😊

[@SuttonsDaze]

Wonderful!

[@MegaCandylady1]

Thank you for sharing this!

[@kellyname5733]

Thank you so much for this video! I rewatched this vid and herd you say "keep the heat at about medium while pressurizing after you place the weight or the jiggler on". I have been having trouble with sealing failures and siphoning with a full Presto 23qt. Such a disappointment. While having my canner up to high heat to pressurizing, I could hear those jars bouncing/rocking around in the canner. I always thought "Dang..those things are moving around too much, I hope they seal". But I pressurized on high as others have done before me. Im never going to pressurize that way again and tonight Im using a weighted regulator/gauge (jiggler) as we speak. I already love that thing. Unfortunately I pressurized on high this time before I re-watched this vid..so well see if I have sealing failures or siphoning. Yes, I could actually watch this vid and comment while my canner was doing its thing using the jiggler. I did not have to stand within 2 feet from the canner to be sure it stayed at 10-12 PSI using the provided Presto gauge. I just listened to the jiggler doing its hula dance (lol) and occasionally glanced at it. Soooo much easier to use the jiggler. Happy me! Oh, FYI-I tried those PUR canning jars/lids/bands...long story but they are an epic failure on every level. Dont seal, bands are warped and the jars are not consistent in construction and they etched on first time canning. Dont waste your money. Buy Ball/Kerr jars/lids/bands. If you really want a premium lid buy ForJars.com lids online.

[@ljtminihomestead5839]

Leisa, Thank you, thank you, thank you!! My old presto I cant use on my flat top stove so bought one for my stove with pressure gauge. I hate the pressure gauge!! I took jiggler from old, it fits the new canner!! I rewatched this video, have fish in canner with jiggler, made my life so much easier today! ❤

[@SuttonsDaze]

Wonderful!
