[@georgemoomaw9437]

WOW ... Great tutorial. I just turned 76 and entering my mid-life crisis. I cannon afford a Corvette or a Harley so I bought a 23 qt Presto Pressure Canner. My maiden voyage with this lovely ship will be next weekend. After watching thins video, I think I can do it. I have gotten everything I need together, except patients. I have never been able to learn that skill.

[@tiffaniehutchins278]

I was so freaking scared to pressure can that my new canner sat untouched for three years. I needed someone to walk my through step by step and you did that for me. You weren’t really in my kitchen but tonight you helped me pressure can my first thing ever, thank you! 💚

[@goodmeasure777]

@tiffanie hutchins, I was just killing time at Wallyworld today, and walking down aisles, found ONE 16 qt Presto..and I scooped it up quick! The outside plastic wrap was still on. It's like they didn't even bother pulling it off knowing it wouldn't be on shelf for long lol. This is a hot commodity. I've been watching videos here on YT and how it's hard to find pressure canners, so I wasted no time. Now....I'm like, who is going to do this with me. I'm scurred LOL.

[@margaretblair706]

I had mine for so long I think it's almost an antique. Well, maybe only 6 years. This video gave me the courage to finally use it!

[@michelleshorey1399]

Same! I’ve had mine for about 4 years. I used it once but was scared I did everything wrong that I threw everything out! I didn’t want to kill myself or my family! I’m feeling brave again, but also still scared at the same time 😬

All these women on here that post videos about pressure cooking steps can learn a thing or two from this guy. They don’t even show you what to do. He explains it and also shows you how to use it.

[@b.mary94]

Basic instructions: - Let steam come out untill air lid pops without weight - Wait 5-10 more minutes - Put on weight - When pressure reaches 5 > turn down heat a little 8 > turn down " 11 > turn down " + set appropriate timer for product in cans 11 after 10 min > turn down " - Let cool untill air lid drops - Place pots on heat resistant surface with tool - Let cans cool 24 hours I wrote this for myself primarily cause I keep coming back to this video 😂 thanks a lot!

Here it is, 3 years after you posted this, and you are still helping novice canners gain confidence! Thank you so much for this extremely clear, thorough, and simple guide to the Presto canner. Your 'walking us through it in real time' guidance is just perfect for the first-timer. Thanks again!

[@NubianP6]

I’ve watched several videos on pressure canning in an effort to become confident enough to actually try out my new 23 qt Presto. Of all those videos, this is by far the most clear and concise demonstration I’ve seen. Even the simple act of removing the knob from your stove to show the setting helped to make things more clear. Thank you! 🙂

[@deniseandrews6025]

I agree with you!!! I can't seem to get the pressure down to the 11 psi I need but now I know how to do that! Thank you SO much for this video. I am about to push the "subscribe" button! ; )

[@DeeitsMeStudio]

I agree, that knob from the stove was special for me. It helped me tremendously!!!

This is the best, easiest to follow, beginner instructional "How to run a canner" vid I have seen on YT. Love how you explain the controlled pressure up. And that you explained why it is so important. Well done sir.

Getting the knack of not over running the pressure took me a while to learn, hopefully I can save someone else the aggravation.

I have been canning for about 70 years on my own with a canner for about 60 and I will say you are the best I've seen on teaching an explanation of a pressure canner. 🙋🏼🙏✝️💕

[@janetbrown3349]

Sir, I can't thank you enough for this video! Yesterday was my first experience with my new Presto 23 qt pressure canner and I really had no idea how long things actually took in real-time to get the canner up to pressure PROPERLY. I used to have a 16 qt and I always had a problem with keeping the dial where it should be for more than 1 minute. It caused me to give up canning until I decided to give it another try with a new 23 qt. While waiting for it to heat up I just happened upon your video and it helped me immensely. You walked me through the process of slowly letting the pressure climb and adjusting the heat properly. I never saw that before! By the time I was done canning my 7 quarts of Beef Stew yesterday with a minimum of fuss I was happy happy happy!!! My pressure never moved more than a 1/2 point the entire 90 minutes. And here is the best part - for the first time in my canning life - the water in my canner when I removed my jars was crystal clear. I nearly wept with joy! Thank you!!!

[@theferalmaker]

I am from Germany and just imported a new presto pressure canner for myself. We do not have such things for personal use in Germany so I had to get one from the US. I searched a while for the best intro video on one of these things and yours is simply the best one - thank you so much for your introduction and very detailed video with all your tips and tricks. Super helpful. Looking forward to get that thing going now ;)

[@jeanineadele]

They do't sell canners in Germany. That is puzzling, I wonder why?

I am from australia and going through the same thing too. Can’t buy them anywhere here so getting mine imported.

@@jeanineadele I've been looking for a pressure scanner here in Germany for a long time. I finally found one on Amazon and recently got it delivered.

I have now found one and here also a great guide on how to operate the part.

This guy is the best teacher ever,I got my new presto 2 years ago ,ive never canned before I was so scared ,I read the direction ,watched videos,but then I came across this guy,and I've been going ever since.i still come back to this video when I get the canner out just to make sure I'm doing it right,last time I used my canner I got in a bit of a hurry taking the lid off,well the steam burnt my index finger very bad,2nd degree burn so yeah let your canner cool completely and wear oven mitts,safety always

[@carolfroude7675]

This guide is awesome. I have never pressure canned before today & with your help I have success. The pressure went up gradually and once it was at 11 it stayed there the entire time, I did regulate the heat just a little. I had this video on pause & referred to it every few minutes. It was like I had an experienced canner helping me.

[@carisajanouch5121]

@@Noahsoak For crushed tomatoes, I was told to water bath can them instead of pressure canning. Very easy process! You'll need to add lemon juice because all tomatoes don't have the same acid level, but it's a simple process.

Thank you! I used this method this evening for two canning sessions and it works wonderfully! Every newbee should watch this tutorial. Brining the canner to pressure is what I was missing. A rather important step. God bless and you saved me! Otherwise, I was stressed about the fluctuations. Phew! Processed Italian Chili tonight.

[@maryhollinshead9790]

how long did you wait to start the second batch so far I have an hour difference from my water bath canning i started both at the same time and will build up cook and now cool down my wb maybe the winner here

[@Saoirse.n.Murphy]

@@maryhollinshead9790 Hello, about 45 minutes in between. Rinse out the canner and cool it down to get a fresh start. It really is all about taking the tortious approach and bring up the pressure slowly. Letting it cool slowly is good too. At least 10 minutes once you remove the weight, crack the lid a bit, and then just lift it a little bit. That gives it another good 30 minutes. Just bring them back to the room better. Fairly successful. I think there’s only been one that didn’t seal properly and I’ve been canning a solid amount of jars since July. When you’re chasing fluctuations in pressure it is exhausting and definitely causes problems, like siphoning. Good luck! I feel like I’ve been doing this for years! I have not water bath canned yet. I’m not a big jam or fruit person I can buy that stuff easily. I’m more of a protein and meal processing person. Just did three types of soups over the weekend!

We bought this canner after viewing your video on pressure canning. I was very intimidated until I watched your tutorial. It's fantastic, marvelous explanation. I used my canner for the first time today. Thank you, thank you. I actually feel competent using my pressure canner.

Thank you for this vid. I just started and made several mistakes. This vid explains what happened. I turned the heat to high and my pressure was creeping up and I had to adjust several times. I also went under pressure. Forgot to stop time. And I had the wrong psi. I used psi for weight gauge instead of dial guage. This was really a test run. I am not too upset. I took notes of the whole process and because of the notes I found all my mistakes. This video has answered my questions about how to fix these mistakes.😊

I've been staring at my canner, must have watched 100 videos but your video finally got me started. Thank you so much! 🤗
