WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU BUY A PRESSURE CANNER🚨 BUYER BEWARE! 🚨

[@pralinechocolates1]

Guys you can sterilize your jars/cans in your OWN OVEN. 120 degrees for 10mins. How do I do this? Place them on a square baking tray ( silver) with high sides. The cheap big ones from Ikea. I do not recommend a temp higher than 120! Or you may risk your jars breaking.I first stick them in my dishwasher on regular wash. Some people have dishwashers with sterilization option. I do not so I place them in the oven. The jar will remain sterile as long as you don’t use your barehands ( it’s far to hot to do that anyways) use your funnel and get your product in ASAP. I don’t allow my jars to cool off. I hope this helps someone. Have a good weekend!

I think you'll like your presto canner. I love mine. I was using my mother in laws from the 1960s, and it was crazy scary. My new presto canner is nice.

[@petuniagranny2758]

@@priscillaglover1739 I think Canning is a great skill to have, and it is work, but it's like therapy. Enjoy!

[@Jomama02]

ALSO, A INSTAPOT IS NOT A CANNER!! Even if it says you may can in it, DON'T! It is not made for canning, it is a cooker not a canner!

[@leadfarmer73]

Jomama 02 thank you for the warning. Everyone was asking me in the video but I had no idea. I’m still very new to all of this. I am just a student. That’s why we all rely on good people like you to help guid is down the right path.😉

[@Jomama02]

@@leadfarmer73 so many don't know the difference and could be injured very severely by Instapots. While you may be able to do a few jars in SOME of them, I wouldn't as they are not made for that high of a pressure. I have used pressure cookers all my life and love them, but there is a difference in a cooker and a canner, especially the electric instapots! You need a healthy respect for what each can and cannot do. I have all 3 of them and use them all for the correct jobs! It is a investment and you can't take many shortcuts with the equipment you need. While the ALL AMERICAN is top of the line in canning, it has its drawbacks also. If you dent the lid or the rim of them, they are done for unless you can take it to a machine shop to have it redone if it's not severe. I myself have a Mirro and a Presto. I personally would rather replace a gasket than a whole canner. Many blessings and enjoy the journey! It's very addictive!

[@brewatch]

If you don’t mind Presto brand, don’t forget smaller hardware stores like Ace hardware. It’s a good beginners option.

[@purpletulips4648]

A good tip for Ace hardware is if it's not in the store they can look to see when their warehouse will have them, order you 1 or in my case 2 and it will be there in a couple of days. The 23 qt Presto canner cooker ,yes yes ya'll.

[@lifeinthecountrysidehome]

Thank you so much for that information.I love your channel because you are so real.

You can take that pressure valve off and add the petcock and weight gauge. Call All American and talk to them. It doesn't cost much and all you need is a wrench.

Great video.. I just bought an all American pressure canner from a thrift store and it had the same little stem. I did some research and called all american and that stem is a peacock. In the upright postion it vents after 10 minutes of venting put it in the closed position and venting is cut off and pressure builds. They stopped making the peacock in the mid 90`s and went over to the weighted vent. It works well but I am buying the weighted vent. Its a canner I also was not sure what it was.

You mean they are selling autoclaves as canners? I'm scared of those big canners. I'm the one who would have stuff blowing up in the kitchen....."it is my way!" I'm sticking with water baths in a big pot. I think the key is the heat and the pressure of the water over the lids. But what do I know! I bought those cans back in MARCH! I canned some lemon peal candy and that was it! I don't know why I'm so scared to do it. I think it's because everything has to be sterilized first and I'm scared something might get contaminated by a mere touch and then someone is sick because I made that mistake of touching the lid. I don't know what to do!
