How Pressure Canners Keep Your Food Safe?

Pressure canners play a crucial role in preserving food safely through canning. By using high pressure and temperature, they eliminate harmful bacteria, ensuring the longevity of canned goods, and ensuring long-term food storage without compromising quality. This method is crucial for low-acid foods like vegetables and meats. Pressure canners for canning create a sterile environment, safeguarding your food from spoilage and contamination.

(Wiping my brow) Well, I got sixteen pints of tomatoes (plain tomato, not sauce) out of the canner just now. I have more to do; not a whole second canner-load but 5 -8 more jars. My husband helped with the prep this time. First time for that. After this, I think I'll do one more session of marinara sauce, because we go through gallons of that in a year, and then I'll just . . find someone to give tomatoes to? Take them to the market and quietly abandon them in the produce aisle? Tempting.

Yesterday's red pepper is sitting in solitary splendor on the kitchen table. So pretty.

This is either a canning tip I don't see much, or compensating for some weirdness of my new pressure canner, since I don't think I had to do this with the old one:

(Gently) tighten your rings after taking jars out of the canner (if they're loose)

I was having a terrible seal rate when I started using this new Presto canner, much worse than when I had an All American, and on all different products. Idk what the difference could be, really, but I figured out the rings were getting rattled loose in processing, and so the lids weren't sealing. I get nearly 100% sealed now, and I found a small imperfection in the rim of the one jar that didn't seal out of this batch.

The logic of two-part canning lids is this: You put the rings on only juuust finger tight, so air can escape during processing. Hotter->expansion, and that's why you leave headspace. The ring keeps it from falling off completely, but also lets it move a little. Then when the food has been held at temp long enough to kill pathogens, you take your jars out and let them cool. As the air & liquid inside cool down, they contract, and that lid is pulled down, forming the seal. Ta-da, no pathogens inside, none can get in, and the lid won't fall off. And the rings can be removing for storage, having done their job.

So if the rings are too loose, as the cooling creates that pressure differential between the inside of the jar & the outside, air from the outside can get in under the lid to equalize, and you get no seal. Boo. Checking that the rings are still on correctly after processing (being careful meanwhile not to interfere with the lid) has saved me a lot of work & trouble already.

There's precedent for doing this, though current instructions say not to. Tattler reuseable lids call for putting them on extra-loose to start, and tightening after processing. This was also the procedure for the old glass lid & wire bail jars - lid on rubber gasket during processing, bail only laid over the top, then snap the bail down to seal afterwards. I think the key to doing this with modern two-part lids is being gentle, & not going any tighter than they should have been on in the first place.

Also look at my new pressure canner!! I canned soup for the first time and I'm so happy c:

I didn't take any pictures of the process because I was too nervous using it but I got a better idea of how it works now

My sister also gave me some seeds so soon I'll be trying an indoor garden this year that's smaller and less likely to be eaten!

Also bonus Rune for good luck

Pressure Cookers and Canners

Harnessing High-Pressure Cooking for Healthier and Faster Meals

The kitchen has evolved into a hub of modern appliances, each designed to make cooking more efficient and enjoyable. Among these, pressure cookers and canners stand out for their remarkable ability to reduce cooking time significantly while preserving the nutritional value of food. This article delves into the world of these high-pressure cooking wonders, exploring their benefits, how they work, and tips for selecting and using them effectively in your daily cooking regime.

Understanding Pressure Cookers and Canners

A pressure cooker, fundamentally, is a sealed pot with a valve that controls the steam pressure inside. As the pot heats up, the liquid inside forms steam, which raises the pressure in the pot. This high pressure increases the boiling point of water, and food cooks faster due to higher temperature steam. Pressure canners, on the other hand, are specifically designed for canning and preserving food. They are larger than pressure cookers and have more precise temperature and pressure settings necessary for safe canning.

The Benefits of High-Pressure Cooking Time Efficiency

One of the most significant advantages of using a pressure cooker is the time saved. Meals that typically take hours to cook can be prepared in a fraction of the time. For example, dried beans can be cooked in about 30 minutes, and tough cuts of meat become tender in under an hour.

Nutritional Boost: Cooking under high pressure helps in retaining more nutrients compared to traditional cooking methods. The shorter cooking time and the fact that food is cooked in a sealed environment reduce nutrient loss.

Energy Efficient: Pressure cookers are more energy-efficient than conventional cooking methods. The shorter cooking times and the fact that the heat is contained within the sealed pot reduce energy usage.

Versatility: Modern pressure cookers are versatile and can be used for a range of cooking methods, including steaming, boiling, and braising.

Choosing the Right Pressure Cooker or Canner

When selecting a pressure cooker or canner, consider the following: Size: Choose a size that suits your cooking needs. Standard sizes range from 4 to 10 quarts for pressure cookers and up to 23 quarts for canners.

Material: Stainless steel cookers are durable and easy to clean, while aluminum cookers are lighter and heat up faster.

Safety Features: Look for models with multiple safety features like pressure release valves, secure locking lids, and safety pressure indicators.

Functionality: Decide if you need a stovetop model or an electric one. Electric models often come with pre-set cooking options.

Using Pressure Cookers and Canners Safely

To safely use these appliances:

Read the Manual: Always read the manufacturer’s instructions before using your pressure cooker or canner.

Check for Damage: Regularly inspect the gasket, valves, and lid for any wear or damage.

Do Not Overfill: Never fill the pot more than two-thirds full to allow space for the steam.

Release Pressure Safely: Use the natural release method or the quick-release feature as recommended by the recipe.

Use for Intended Purpose: Use pressure canners for canning and pressure cookers for cooking to ensure safety and efficiency.

The incorporation of pressure cookers and canners into modern kitchens is a testament to their efficiency, versatility, and the health benefits they offer. By harnessing the power of high-pressure cooking, these appliances have revolutionized the way we prepare our meals, saving time and energy while enhancing the nutritional quality of the food. Whether you're an experienced cook or a novice in the kitchen, embracing these innovative cooking tools can lead to a healthier, more efficient, and enjoyable cooking experience.

on one hand i am just irritated at my school doing a thanksgiving luncheon tomorrow bc i think the food is bad and on principle bc they replace EVERYTHING w thanksgiving food so even my normal standbys arent there. like i cant even have a piece of pizza bc they put a big ham at the pizza station instead. and what makes it worse is that this semester on wednesdays at lunch theyve been doing a little world cuisine wednesday sort of situation where they make foods from different cultures which ive really been enjoying. sometimes it's bad but it's fun for the novelty of it all . and instead of putting the gross thanksgiving lunch on thursday which makes more sense anyway they're doing it wednesday and replacing the chance to have interesting food with BORING thansgiving food

#AUGHHH. #i will be a proud thanksgiving food hater till the day i die. #1. hate mashed potatoes 2. hate sweet potatoes 3. dont eat turkey 4. scared of 'green bean casserole' #WHYS IT A CASSEROLE. why cant it just be normal green beans <- what my family does #5. didnt try stuffing until i was 17 years old bc my grandma's watchful eye at christmas dinner pressured me into it. it's ok #6. hater of canner cranberry sauce. and you should be too. #7 . i like mac and cheese but the dining hall cant make it. and besides theyre doing baked ziti for this?? #which brings us into slightly related point 8. the dining hall makes what is possibly the worst marinara known to man #talkin

Tomatoooo-oooh-no

Well, it's back to the ol' grind this morning

but with italian seasoning mix instead of the chili seasonings pictured here. I'm missing my "crew" and canning by myself. Thankfully the day isn't as hot as the past week was. Still sweating, but not dissolving like a witch in Oz.

I have 6.5 quarts of puree and chopped veg and seasonings simmering away in a Large pot. yay, me.

Currently stuck in paralysis trying to decide which All American pressure canner to order and where to order it from. The 21.1 quart one, obviously, but trying to decide if its really worth the additional $80 to be able to get it in green or if I should just go ahead and get it in standard silver as aesthetics aren't actually everything.

Also trying to decide if I should just suck it up and order directly from All American and pay for the whole thing upfront, or if I should go through Walmart or Amazon which would let me pay with PayPal where I don't have to pay for it all at once.

This is very stupid, and of course I waited until the last minute (I really need to start putting up some tomatoes within the next week or so), and yes I could get something cheaper, but if I get an All American I'll never have to get another pressure canner ever again.

What's it like to just be able to buy stuff without getting bogged down in purchase anxiety? Is it nice, it seems nice?

#woolly rambles #plus all americans are supposed to be stupid safe which is good because pressure canners lowkey freak me out

You can't show ANY interest in food preservation techniques on social media because you'll just get fed an endless stream of people who are convinced that they could never get botulism from their improperly canned food because "almost no one gets botulism now"

#yeah. like. most people dont get botulism from improperly canned food anymore...because most people arent eating improperly canned food now #if you are doing things that need a pressure canner with just a water bath canner...i am frightened! #ALL of the old people ive ever met have stories of someone they knew who died from botulism! #also like. if you and your family are eating THOUSANDS of jars of improperly canned food i think the odds of botulism are just higher #i am beset by people trying to poison their families
