I've water canned for years but never pressure canned. I recently bought this specific pressure canner and I loved your video! It was so detailed, informative and helpful! Thank you for sharing! 😊
Oh my gosh thank you, even reading the instructions in my new presto canner, being such a newbie…I felt so intimidated and confused! You have eased my mind so much! Thank you so much for this video! 😅
So glad it was helpful!
Best info video ever. First time using this pressure canner and was so scared to try it. I feel comfortable after watching your video. Now I know what every little part does and how to do this process. Thank you very much for sharing this video. ❤
This is THE most helpful video on pressure canning! Thank you!
I’m so happy to hear that! Thanks for watching!
I just got my pressure canner yesterday and your video is great! Thank you.
Happy to hear that!
THANK YOU for helping me be brave enough to finally use my pressure canner! I’ve read the directions so many times, but was still hesitant because I was afraid of blowing up my kitchen 😅 Watching your video was extremely helpful (especially to see you walk through the process and explain all the parts), and now I’m actually excited for my first pressure canning sesh! 😁🙌🏻💕
I’m so happy to hear this Nicholle! Enjoy!!
This video was perfect!!! Very informative! I learned so much! Definitely subscribing!!! Thank you!!
Thank you! So glad it was helpful
I just received a Presto 23 quart canner. I am SO happy to have come across this video! You made me feel much more comfortable about using it. Thank you for taking time to show all the parts!
I’m so glad you found it helpful!
This is the best pressure canning video I have ever seen. I needed this in my life . Thank you !
Thank you so much!
I also just received a Presto 23 quart canner for my birthday yesterday. I watched your video and it clarified the steps for safe use. I canned my first batch of veggies for my pantry today and was pleased with the result! Thank you Abbey - I plan to use your videos to help me stock my pantry. I just retired this year and never had the time to do this until now and I am so excited. Thanks again!!
I am so happy to hear that! Glad that you found it helpful. Congrats on your first batch in the pressure canner :)
Thank you so much for filming this. I bought the same pressure canner you have and and doing my first round of canning with it now.
Awesome, good luck! It gets easier as you get used to the process!
I have been canning for years. Great tips. I love the new ones I have seen or done. So glad I ran into your channel.
Thank you!
Thank you for this video! It was straight forward and I felt like you were with me in my kitchen walking me through. I had a successful first pressure canning experience that I am confident in thanks to you!
I’m so happy to hear it was helpful! Happy canning :)
I am a "Born again" canner. I used to to can tomatoes and green beans years ago. These "newer" models are very nice. If possible get a "jiggler", they are practically fool-proof! Gauges show the difference in pressure between the steam inside the canner and the room air. I am at 1300 feet above sea level, the adjustment isn't much. In Denver or Flagstaff, knowing the time required for your "expected pressure" becomes more important. The boiling water isn't as hot as it would be at lower altitudes, so longer cooking times might be required for some items (typically meats). Salt (or acid) usually preserves vegetables and fruits with less cooking.
Thank you for this great beginner video! I've had my Presto canner for 5 years, and it's still in the box! lol This really helps to encourage me to get at it... thanks again.
I’m so happy to hear that! Good luck!
Perfect descriptions, I have water bathed before, but not pressure canned. I was always afraid, when I was little I saw a lid from one stay on but the food came volcano out. 😮
But this year, I need to step up my game.
Thank you for inspiring me.
God bless and be safe 🙏 ❤️
Thank you! I have done a lot of waterbath canning but was very intimidated by the pressure canner. I just bought the Presto and your video explaining all the safety features just took away any intimidation I had about using this..
May you be blessed with abundance and well being. 💜
Thank you so much for the demonstration. Just got a new presto pressure, canner for my son and daughter-in-law and just doing our first Canning
I’m so glad it was helpful! Have fun!
That was a great video I really appreciate the detailed information on how that works I actually just ordered my presto pressure canner and looking forward to having it in a couple of days. I'm new to canning but really excited about learning something new. You have a fantastic and blessed day
Thank you! I am glad you found it helpful. Happy canning :)
Thanks for the video. Very straight forward, informative, and easy to follow. Finally feel confident to put my canner to use.
I’m so happy to hear that!
Super video. I received my Presto canner last week and have just started using it.
Awesome, thank you! Happy canning!
This video is perfect! It was like you were with me, teaching me how to do it! TY!
So happy to hear that!
Thank you so much for this video. I'm new to canning and I've wb a few things but have been nervous about pc. This was so helpful and did help me relax a little about pc.
I’m so happy to hear it was helpful! Good luck!
I have a canner but have not used it yet. I've watched a few videos but yours has been the most helpful by far at this stage of the game. Thank you!
I am so happy to hear that!
My grandmother taught me to can with her pressure canner in the late 70's. I'm not sure the brand she had (it was very old)..but my first canner was a Presto and I loved it so much! As my family grew, I graduated to the All American canner. It was quite the adjustment. This is a great beginners video. I will share with my homemaker friends. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much! How special to have your grandmother teach you that skill.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. I needed this because I was so intimidated watching this boosted my confidence. Thank you again.
I am so happy to hear that!
I will likely never do this, but was curious how it worked. Excellent presentation
I have been canning for many years but we've done a lot of moving around the past 6 years so have not used my Presto canner. This was a fantastic reintroduction into everything I needed to know to refresh my canning skills! Thank you for making a no-nonsense, no-blather video that was informative and pleasant to watch as well. I have subscribed to your channel now!
So glad you found it helpful! Thanks for subscribing :)
Thank you so much for this great video, you gave me the confidence i needed to use my presto canner after almost two years I purchased it.
Happy to hear that!
Thank you! I just bought that same Presto canner so this was a great tutorial. 🙏🏼
So glad you found it helpful!
Excellent video. Definitely helpful. So thankful o found your channel. Thank you!
I’m so happy to hear this DeeAnn!
I just canned my first batch of green beans and this was so helpful. Thank you!!
Good job! I’m so happy to hear that!
I’m just getting started in home mycology and this is super helpful info! Thank you!
Happy to hear that!
Thank you so much for this video! I received my Presto canner and I’m canning green beans today! I didn’t know to let it vent 10 minutes and then put the regulator on!!! Love this video and info!!
Glad you found it helpful! hope your first canning session went well :)
@@abbeyverigin yes everything went well and I’ve canned 2 bushels of white half runner green beans so far and I’ve also canned dill pickles with the water bath method and I made your recipe for the brine to ferment some as well! I love all your videos and information! Thank you!
Great to the point video thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video! I really wanted an all American but I have a GE glass top & it really didn’t seem to be a good idea because of the weight. I saw where you said that same thing in a comment reply(confirmation👍) You have made me feel much more confident about the Presto as that was my next choice. You have a new subscriber! Thanks so much for what you do👍👏👏
I’m so glad it was helpful! I too really wanted an All American but didn’t want to risk it. The presto gets the job done and is super easy to use. Happy to have you here! Thanks for watching.
This is a great video Abbey, well done!
Thank you!
First time watching your channel after watching so many on pressure canning. You explained everything perfectly, answered all my questions, and took the fear out of using a pressure canner. Thank you for sharing.⚘️greedings from Phoenix Az🌵🌞
So happy to hear that! Happy canning :)
@@abbeyverigin🙂👍🏽
Very helpful - thank you!
This video was SO HELPFUL!
So happy to hear that!
Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for this information!!!!!
I’m glad it’s helpful!
Thank you just got my presto today.👍
Awesome! Have fun!
Wonderfully explained! Ordered mine today :)
So glad you found it helpful!
Learning how to can right now and this was such a helpful video!
I’m so happy to hear that! Happy canning!
I bought presto 23qt canner 3 years ago and after reading instructions I put it back in box and never used it ...after watching ya video I'm going to try it today ..thx for great video
That's great! Hope it went well :)
thank you for your video. I have this same canner but have never canned in my life and was somewhat afraid since I remember my mom saying to me (55 years ago) that pressure cookers can blow up. I selected this canner after researching the safety features but, until your video, I never felt comfortable enough to begin...thank you, again, for the step by step information.
I am so happy you found it helpful! I felt that way too the first few sessions. With time you will feel more comfortable :)
Thanks for doing this video. I have a pressure canner and electric stove. I'm very leary of using it. However I would be more comfortable practicing with jars of water first but had not thought of that
Sorry for the late reply! Thank you for your kind comment. Best idea is to check your manual to make sure your electric stove can handle the canner
Thank you for this!
Very helpful content thanks
I absolutely love this video not all the way through it but I appreciate the information
Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!
fantastic video I'm a rookie at pressure canning have always done water bathing
I’m so happy to hear it was helpful! Good luck! It can be a bit intimidating at first but it becomes second nature :)
You were very helpful! Thank you.
Happy to hear that! Thank you for watching.
thank you! just canned my bone broth by following along your video + the manual instructions.
Very clear. Thank you!
I’m happy to hear that!
Great vid!
Thank you!
Great video thanks for sharing. God bless you and your.
Thank you Judy!
Very helpful, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this video. Could you share how you clean and store your canner? Does the dial gage need to be removed, or can the lid be flipped upside when storing? Does the gasket need to be removed and washed every time? Thank you so much!
Wow. This was great i feel like buying a canner now😅thx
Do it! You won’t regret it :)
Thanks for your help
Thank you for watching!
I was curious how to use a pressure cooker. Thank you ❤
Thank you 🤍
Thank you , thank you, thank you!
Happy it was helpful!
Best coverage
Thank you!
Hi, been canning with mine over 15 years, also do roasts, boils, broth/stock. Do you have videos cooking in the cooker/canner,? Appreciate it tyvm
The girl in this video is so pretty! Thank you for teaching us about canning. Your channel is pretty awesome btw
Thank you❤❤❤
I'm in the process of buying one right now. Do you think this one is better than the Barton one? I'm going to be using to cook some large meals with not for canning.
Your instructions were great! I was a bit nervous but think I can tackle this now. Is there anything that you wouldn’t recommend canning?
I’m happy to hear that! Do you mean flavor wise or safety? The ball canning books are a good place to start for tested recipes. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by meat. It is so tender pressure canned. Carrots do get soft and aren’t as flavorful as fresh but we still do them anyway to have them on hand for quick meals.
This video is very helpful thank you! I tested my pressure canner but the pressure valve starts to turn around when the pressure is building up around 10 and it doesn’t get any higher since it’s releasing some pressure if that makes sense, I’m dutch sorry. If i put a towel on top and press the valve a little bit down it builds up pressure again. If i remove the towel to press it start twisting around again. I filmed it but I don’t know it i can show that here?
I pressure can and cook with my wife. I like this beginner video. I subscribed to your channel.
Some day you will have at least 500,000 subscribers, I just know it!!
✝️❤️
Thank you for the kind words!
This video was incredibly helpful. I do have one question… I know that if it goes below it, you have to restart the time if it goes above it I am assuming it’s fine?
Happy to hear it was helpful! Yes that’s correct. No need to reset the time if pressure goes above, just if it drops below.
What's the shelf life on the jars once they're canned? Can you keep them on the pantry?
This video is so helpful! I am considering purchasing the canner provided in your link, except I prefer to use the jiggler. Before I buy this product, I want to be sure they make a jiggler for it. As such, I went on Amazon to find a jiggler for this model #01781 (23 Quart). Unfortunately, when jiggler options come up, they are being listed with 7 digit model numbers instead of the 5 digits. It's very confusing and as a result, I am not able to find the correct jiggler. Would you please be so kind as to also provide a link to the jiggler that would fit the canner provided in your link?
When would the giggler start moving if you were going to finish your process? Have you ever taken your pressure canners into the extension office to have your gage and canner checked?
Also putting a small amount of oil does help.
hi, really helpful video. I use a similar pressure canner but I don't have the instructions for the water usage. How much water should I put before starting the procedure?
Hello, best to look up the manual online as It could be different for different brands. Usually it is 3 quarts, or see if the fill line is marked on the inside of the pot.
Is it ok to lift the canner to another burner on the electric stove after the amount of time for canning has elapsed? Unfortunately on an electric stove the burner stays hot forva long time.
Thanks a lot for the great video! Is 15psi possible with this canner?
Yes! Thanks for watching!
Dial gauge, yes i have one but it was not assembled when opened new it did not have a nut to hold in pkace? I stuffed through middle hole, i am worried its missing nut?
I have a canner just like yours. It seems to be venting way to much steam through that knob that pops up when the canner is under pressure. I'm able to use it still but have to really baby sit it to keep it above 12lbs. Is there something I'm over looking to fix that? Or is the part replaceable? Thanks!
Ty SO much for the video. Very well done! I feel safer using mine now. Again, ty for going slow explaining how to..
Glad to hear it was helpful! Happy pressure canning :)
Hi, newsubs here👋🏻. Thanks for the detailed explanation of pressure canner. I just want to ask how many bottle jars fits in that pressure canner? Thanks 😊
I can fit 7 quarts or 15 pints if you stack with a rack between :) Thanks for watching!
I just used my PC for the first time. Let the cooker vent and the pressure dial is full of condensation. Is that normal?
My regulator is rocking constantly at 12 PSI. I’m only at 300’ elevation. Is my gage off?
I used my new presto for the first time, but gauge didn’t work ~ I eventually just timed my beans, hope it turns out. 😢
Would I be able to use a pressure canner if I use tin cans ?
Thank you so much for this video. It has helped me to be a bit braver. Question, I cannot find my altitude anywhere and any links I find in government website is broken. How can I find my altitude for NJ? Also, is it true I have to have my gauge reviewed every year for calibration? Thanks.
I’m glad! Try searching your city and state elevation. It should come up. Yes - that is something I should’ve mentioned. It’s recommended to have a dial gauge canner calibrated yearly. That is a benefit to a weighted gauge canner.
You can find your altitude it on the compass section of you I phone.
So 2 on the gage is 10 pounds of pressure?
Hi Abby just wondering if you have a video on raw packed beef for the pressure canner?
Hello! I don’t but I do hope to share a video on it soon
Refer to the National Center for Home Food Preservation’s website.
I haven’t replaced my gasket in 5 years and I use it for everything.
That’s great!
can't you water bath can in a pressure canner ? wondered why folks have both...maybe because they started with water bath canning ?
So does siphoning happen right at the end if you take the lid off too soon after the pressure comes down?
Siphoning often happens when you have extreme temperature fluctuations. You want to try to avoid any sudden changes in temp. So the water of the canner and the contents in the jars you want to have be about the same temperature. At the end I like to let the jars sit for a few mins in the canner while it’s off before removing just to avoid those extreme fluctuations. Opening the lid for a few mins and then removing the lid a few minutes before the jars helps with this
I noticed your stovetop is electric. I have a gas stove. Is this ok for my stove?
I am terrified of a pressure cooker but hopefully this helps 😂
Is there any difference between a pressure cooker and a pressure canner? I have a presto device the same size and looks exactly the same but it was labeled as a pressure Cooker
Best to look at the model number. A pressure cooker isn’t always a pressure canner but I believe presto does have some models that are pressure cooker/canners
Unless i missed it, no close up of interior where guage incert what it needs can not start unsafe practices safely tyia
Do you pressure can all types of foods? In other words, are you supposed to do certain foods in ONLY a pressure canner and other types of food ONLY in a water bath? Thank you!!!
Hello :) low acid foods are pressure canned (vegetables, meat etc) while high acid foods are water bath canned (fruits, jams, pickles). There are instructions for pressure canning some high acid foods but generally you’ll get better results water bath canning them. I personally wouldn’t pressure can something that could be water bath canned for the most part even if there are instructions for it
Thank you!!!!! @@abbeyverigin
How much water to add to the canner? I had always added an inch over the jars. The canned says don't fill it more than 2/3 full. If I stack pints, no way could I put that much water in
It will depend on the brand/model of your pressure canner. My presto I use 3 quarts of water, then add in my jars. It would be 3 quarts regardless of whether I am doing a single layer or double layer with a canning rack between
I see you are using a glass cooktop stove. I was told not to can on them, or is that just for the big water bath canners?
Best to check the manual for your cooktop. Mine is fine to can on. I personally wouldn’t use an all American canner on it because of how heavy they are.
Ok thank you for getting back to me so quickly.
Im actually afraid of my pressure canner i need to learn to use it the right way
I know that feeling, I was too before I understood how it worked. Once you get going and understand the functions you will get more comfortable with it
@@abbeyverigin thank you thanks to you I was able to can eight jars of refried beans 😁
@@ladyann5778 good for you!!
I'm sorry but why is it that the taste of pressure cooked/canned food terrible? Like the flavor is gone.
I don't find that to be the case or we wouldn't do it. It is a great way for us to preserve what we grow, some things flavor wise do better freezing.
