Watch This Before Canning Don't Lose Any Food

[@faithannlavalley7244]

So glad to see another "influencer" using Superb caning lids! So much better than the over-popular Forjar and Denali lids AND Superb lids are made in the USA!

[@karynellinger769]

QUALITY makes them better! Their bench marks are higher than competitors! Seal material etc!

[@karynellinger769]

You also try to subscribe to food independence summit on you tube. LOTS of great info there! I didnt watch all of it but I did listen to Joel Slatin, the guy who designed those lids AND WHY! Why cuz of March 2020..(when we couldnt get lids) ....like 8 months later there were CRANKING OUT LIDS! Lehman's in OH carries them.... they do NOT carry junk! Anyway watch the videos thank God for American ingenuity and get r done attitude! Blessings!

One day too late. I had a huge mess to clean up just yesterday. 😩 I'm so mad at myself. But I'm learning.

[@TheVillageFairy]

I’ll be 80 one day and still learning something new 😅 thank you for the tips!

[@sharonjennings1282]

I started listening to your podcast a very long time ago and you actually helped me with Canning so very much. I can tons now I can and everything now and it makes me happy to see you’ve been so successful and you also have a KZbin channel and making money at this. Keep up the great work and information. Still enjoying all of your videos and still learning. Thanks for the starting to share things with us

[@FreyaA2903]

I have been wanting to learn how to can. I bought a canner to have a family member show me how to properly do everything. However they have decided to change their mind. Might just have to try it on my own and see what happens.

[@MelissaKNorris]

I've got a lot of step by step videos on canning and free training series

[@roninboxers]

It is such a great skill to have, you can definitely do it! Videos like this are all you need to get going

[@SeleneStarr]

Thank you!!! That was the clearest, most perfectly demonstrated description of, "finger tight" I've ever seen. I'm about to start canning soon and was confused by others' videos saying, "finger tight" and then doing a crank at the end with no explanation. Your instruction that it's only a quarter turn after meeting resistance explained it perfectly.

[@joannspriggs6898]

I was leaving my lids just a little too loose. Your explanation is the best of any that I have ever heard. Thank you for going over this with us. 😊

[@oldmangardening444]

I love your videos. You explain things very well and have many great ideas. They’re also an inspiration and a roadmap for smaller channels like myself to want to continue and create better content to grow like your channel. Thanks again -OMG

[@khaley37781]

I'm canning this weekend and this is timely info. Thank you!

[@snowpony001]

Extremely helpful to those of us who are new to this. Thanks.

[@jonathansimmons4253]

I used to have problems with syphoning until I started tightening more. I hold a finger on the lid and turn the ring until the jar turns. Seems to work.

[@lindaedwards9756]

Haven’t seen those lids . Good to have another reliable source for lids .thanks 😊

[@elainepetras236]

And they are made in the USA!!

[@MelissaKNorris]

Yes!

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

I place the bottle on a cloth. Then tighten the ring until the jar turns. I don't hold the jar.

[@laurieclarkson9180]

I had a Ball (no pun intended lol) canning up your apple pie filling and making your crust. I LOVED it! Especially the crust. Thank you so much!

[@roninboxers]

This is the best explanation I have seen. I found it really hard to learn how tight to make the lids without anyone at home to learn from. My lids were almost all too loose in the beginning, it turns out I don't have the strength in my hand to "finger tip tighten" and actually end up cranking with my whole hand to get it to the tightness. In the end i had to learn how tight by using the Ball Sure Tight... I basically use it all the time to get it right every time. This video is super, and really helpful!

[@SnappyR]

Canning has been something that interests me - but I think I'm too afraid to can and then have bacteria get into the jars some how without me really knowing it and ending up making everyone sick.....I'm in awe of anyone who has mastered this♥

[@SnappyR]

@@cynthiafisher9907 Thanks! I'll research that♥

[@jockojohn3294]

Just found you and I'm just beginning my foray into food preservation/storage etc. Exactly what I needed to begin, along with your other vids of course. You do a great job explaining/showing how to do things. Now I'm off to your other videos to see if I can get the ol' brain to learn some new things ... :)

[@johnnysmythe7767]

Thanks Melissa, I bought some Chinese made lids here in Japan as ball and Kerr lids are way too expensive after shipping. Most were fine but i did have a couple buckle on me. I love your channel and watch all the time. Cheers.

[@teresacoffman5529]

I like the Superb lids. However, one issue I’ve had is the lid not seating well on the rim of the jar. It’s as it the lid could be just a tiny bit larger so the edge of the lid just barely goes over the rim of the jar. When they seal, they SEAL! But if it’s just a hair off, they don’t.

[@1g1d1w]

This is the kind of information that would go in a Canning Book. Thanks. do you have a canning book yet?

[@MelissaKNorris]

Yes the link to it is in the video description beneath this video

[@bhavens9149]

Question - sort of off topic, but, lately the ball BANDS seem really flimsy. actual lids are fine, but bands want to rust after one use and I live in the desert, so really no excuse for that nonsense. Is there another brand you could recommend? thank you in advance for your time.

[@jodiecarr9750]

I have used the superb lids and have had many failures. The ball and forjar lids are so much better. I rarely get a failure with them.

[@teresacoffman5529]

I’m finding that when I put the ring on I have to ensure that the lid is completely centered in order to get a seal. I check that visually from the top.

[@TwoEnglishAcres]

This is the first year I've ever experienced this!

[@renamaemcdonald2075]

Thanks for the great explanation as this before.

[@robbyers7614]

Thank you Melissa!!

[@pauletterichards4755]

I bought some from Amazon but will never do so again unless it’s a name brand

[@63SpaceGirl]

Is there any drawback to always using 1" headspace? Thank you for explaining why it is important to have enough headspace, but can there be too much headspace?

[@MelissaKNorris]

You need to do headspace for each particular recipe/food, you can't use 1 inch across the board. It's important to be exact.

[@mrsgoozet6977]

My kids that came with my ball jars don't tighten, I get it finger tight and go to tighten it a bit more then they just keep spinning.. is that a faulty lid?

[@vivianmercer1568]

When canning potatoes, some of the water siphons from the jars but they still seal. Is the food still safe to eat? Please help, this happens often even though it seems i do everything right.

[@rachelmills1375]

Ive been doing it wrong and my lids have buckled several times I overtitened it

[@NewPioneerFarm]

We bought lids from Amazon that TOOK forever and we finally got tracking and they came from China in a used Ball lid box but were not Ball... everyone failed

[@kenf8563]

Thanks for sharing, I've been a subscriber for some time now and love your videos. I recently got into canning a couple of months ago and was using the 15-pound regulator instead of the 10- pound for my altitude. Will using the heavier regulator compromise my food? I'm thinking the extra 5-pounds just cause excessive overcooking and the food is fine. Thanks, in advance.

[@MelissaKNorris]

No you need the heavier to actually reach the correct pounds of pressure, it would be unsafe otherwise and it's cooked at the same as those of us at lower elevation but you have to use the 15 to reach that

[@kenf8563]

Melissa, perhaps I didn’t explain my situation correctly, as per my zip code my altitude is approxamaly1420 feet which I believe requires 11 PSI pressure and I was using the 15 pound regulator. Is this safe and perhaps I overcooked when canning. Thank you for your reply. @@MelissaKNorris

[@MelissaKNorris]

You're fine because if you only have the weighted gauge you'd use the 15 lbs, you can use the 11psi moving forward with your dial gauge but those jars are fine from a safety standpoint

[@ramona7160]

In my earlier yrs. I did a lot of canning/freezing and read that the lids and caps need to be in boiling water before placing on the jar, I don’t see this now. ?

[@MelissaKNorris]

Because it's no longer recommended, updated testing and the sealing compound changes no longer require or recommend it

[@BigFireDave]

New to canning here. Thanks for the info. One question, if you properly fill some jars but your last one comes up short and you dont reach the required space can it be canned anyway or should you refrigerate and use immediately?

[@MelissaKNorris]

It should go in the fridge or freezer

[@deaguirrrock]

You may be able to put it in a smaller jar and can it in that if the headspace amount is right I think. The processing time is NOT shorter for smaller jars though

[@63SpaceGirl]

@Melissa Your description under the video says "$50 off you order if $50" the promo code calcs 10% of your order

[@MelissaKNorris]

So sorry that's a typo it's only 10%

[@63SpaceGirl]

@@MelissaKNorris No problem 🤗 I just wanted to let you know. Thank you for all the knowledge & peace you share with us 🌹

[@sallylawson6742]

I have been canning for decades. I have never had lids buckle until I used cheap generic lids. And I am sure I tighten to much. Use only name brand lids!!!

[@marinadoerksen8107]

Bernardine is the brand here in Canada. It used to be very good but they have become increasingly lower in quality to the point where if you picked up a jar by the band, it would slip right off. Very discouraged. How can we trust their canning rules when they don't even make safe equipment?

[@stelladufr8889]

Snaptite lids are useless no matter what you do so stay away from them.

[@Still.In.Saigon]

Do you use tattler lids?
