Thank you Mouse Toes! I bought a canner exactly like this (all that is available right now) and yesterday I watched this video. I did it! I did it! I canned 30 pints of meat stock that I had frozen in the freezer. So much great information here. I especially appreciated the information about siphoning. When I was doing the fish stock I had, I could smell it when I opened the canner and freaked for a second. I went back and watched your video again, un-freaked and cranked the Gary Puckett back up. You are awesome. Thank you so much. 🙂
I'm in the UK and 'Canning' is not something that is done over here, but I have just ordered a pressure canner and jars. Love the way you explain things, so everyone can understand. Thank you
Oh you are going to get canning fever Lesley! Have you looked up your altitude so you know the pressure you need to reach? If I can help please feel free to message me; and welcome to saving money and storing your own food too!
I am now a canning monster--lol! Even thinking about getting a second pressure canner. My garden is spitting out food like crazy, and I am now canning everyday. Getting ready for winter. Woohoo! Thank you for all the wonderful canning videos. I come back and watch your Canning for Beginners every so often for a refresher-I also occasionally pick up and read my canners Instruction Book. THANK YOU!
Thank You......I am so excited about using your videio for my first Presto Canner experience. Please note that I am 73 years of age and just now learning how to use a pressure canner.
Your not as unusual as you might think, I'm 71 and just beginning as well. Good luck with it. We can't go wrong with canners like Mouse Toes and The Kneady Homesteader. 🤗
This is a great tutorial... Love this woman's voice... Makes me miss living in the south. I lived in NC and TN for about a decade... Miss southern accent and southern humor... Love it. .
Thank you so much. I've had my pressure canner for over a year and hadn't used it. I read the manual, I read the Ball preserving recipes, and I watched other videos, but your presentation (and comforting voice) helped me get over my fear.
YES you are a fixin to BE a pressure Canner! So glad this was helpful to you. IF I can ever help you please leave a message or email me (click channel name; in About section). YOU can do it.
I don't start canning until I have read the instruction book and watch this video. Thank you for walking me through canning! This is my second year canning and I love it! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awesome video! Hoping to get my first pressure cooker this spring, try some beans later on. I love how she said she doesn't answer the door or answer the phone when she's busy canning BUT she runs out and feeds the fish. lol Such a character makes this fun to watch!
Hi mouse you are fantastic! Like an Australian getting it right full practical and sensible. Just about to buy a presto canner and get into it, first of all from hundreds of wild blackberry bushes on my farm in Australia. Have my mums 70 year old Fowlers vacola setup for water bath canning... keeping that treasure and now to be doing high pressure too. Thank you mouse toes, yoiu are a true champ.
This is one of the best beginner canning vid's I have watched! THANK YOU for making it fun while emphasizing safety, good technique, and the changes in modern canning.
My first time canning and couldn't understand way the needle on the gauge wasn't moving. I turned off the stove prayed. Then looked online to check if I can find instructions via video. I found you and love your instructions. .😍
Thank you! I'm new to canning, and I love the way you explained everything. And, I love your sense of humor. I'm feeling better and armed with information. Again, THANK YOU!
This is by far the most helpful video I've found on using my new canner. I really appreciate how thorough you were with your instructions. You've been such a huge help for this canning newby. Love to you from Morocco!
Anyone else here in 2019!? Thank you for this video! I am still pondering canning, and looking at which one to purchase for my glass electric range. I have subscribed!
Joanna W I am a new canner, too. I have pressure canned a smoked turkey breast broth. It was great!! I stood there and watched my Presto pressure canner that I got off CraigsList. It came from a place about 2,000 feet higher than I am. I have a glass electric stove top, and I can't remember where I heard it but for that glass top it is better to use the Presto. The All American is much heavier when you compare them empty. It is December 2019. Good luck and Good canning!!!
I wouldn’t recommend using anything but a very small canner on a glass stove. The weight of a full canner can crack a glass top stove. I use a small propane burner (the kind you buy for deep frying a turkey) and a propane tank out on my deck instead.
The Prestos are your best option because they are a lighter weight, but that is because they are made with a thinner wall and base...Yes they can warp... but in nearly all cases its because the operator used the pressure canner on a propane burner with excessive amounts of flame... or allowed the canner to run out of water There are two types of pressure canners with the Prestos.. With a pressure gauge, and "without" a pressure gauge..The canner "without" a pressure gauge will come with an adjustable weight that can be set for 5lb., 10lb., or 15lb. depending on if you use the weighted rings or not..Both are reliable but the "dialed" canner requires you to constantly adjust the heat setting to keep the pressure at the required level or slightly more... But the "gauge-less" model makes you use the next highest weight setting for your product One of my best pieces of advise is to go through a couple of practice runs trying to keep the weight dancing at a "gentle rock" instead of a "frantic jiggle" with the "adjustable" weight, or constantly adjust the heat as you are monitoring the dial gauge,... and KEEP notes. The weight is designed for a specific release of "weighted" pressure which is what causes the boiling water to exceed 212 degrees.. You can have too much heat but it will result in quicker release of pressure and accelerated water loss as is shown by the way the weight rocks or jiggles or the dial gauge exceeding the recommended pressure..
First, whatever pressure canner you decide on, it’ll tell you in the manual if you have a glass top contact stove manufacturer to see if it will be ok to use
We imported a canner to my country, and wish I found your video a few weeks back, before my first BIG can, lol. Really enjoyed your video, and made hubby and I have a few good laughs. We now have a new saying "It aint hard, its just canning!" 😁😁 Thanks for a great video and lots of little tips too. Happy canning, from South Africa 🌹
This is the easiest video I’ve watched. You are a good teacher and very entertaining too. I canned for the first time on Sunday. I did 8 pints of chicken thighs. Now I feel I did everything correctly. Thank you !
Oh I love your tap near your stove, told my husband I want one at my next home. I am amazed that you only wait 10 minutes after lid lock goes down and you open your PC. I wait 15 minutes and remove the weight, then another 10 minutes before I remove the lid and I always get siphoning.
Your video was awesome! I've had the same presto canner for years but I always use it to do hot water bath type foods. Normally I do stewed tomatoes with a little lemon juice for acid or I do pickled hot chilis and stuff like that, until today. Today, I pressure canned 8 pints of pinto beans! Interesting point, once my "petcock" popped up and I waited nearly 15 min, I never actually saw steam. It was blowing out pretty fast, just not visible. Possibly due to how dry it is here, Southern AZ. Also, I have to rely on the gauge more as my recipe called for 10psi but I have to altitude adjust to 12psi. I kept it at least 12 by the gauge but under the point where the weight rocked, so mostly 13-14 by the gauge. I wish I could find a 12# weight. Loved your video. Best canning video I've watched. Don't burn your toes.
Way to get your pressure can ON MaddBaggins! My dial guage always hits 11 pounds when I am going for ten. And you are right about not always seeing the steam but you hear it venting too. you rocked it! ^5
Your sense of humor is golden! Love a down home self depreciating sense of humor. Been thinking about canning, just to learn something new. I don't care much for store bought canned veggies or meat except maybe canned baked beans or tuna fish. So, how does home made canning taste? If you use a basic recipe do they taste as good as fresh? As good or better than frozen veggies? Wasn't raised at all on canned anything except some store bought stuff.
Thanks sw8741. I much prefer home canned including green beans, carrots and even collard greens from home canning for the taste. I get frozen vegetables and dehydrate them as they are easier to store and simple to add to stews or soups. Frozen veggies are frozen right from the field too! I do NOT like canned corn at all so I freeze it!
Thanks Vanillajdicr, it is beyond weird talking to myself while doing things on camera. The first time I edited a video; i was like omg I am 8 ways of weird.
Brilliant video. I have just got my Presto canner here in the UK & am building up the nerve to use it. Watching this was so helpful, thank you for spending the time to help people like me.
Oh my goodness! Thank you for this video! This made me not fear this... "It ain't hard"... just moved to a homestead in the country and am excited for pressure canning since we're running out of room in our two chest freezers since we locally source, hunt, or catch all of our meat. Best line of the entire video: "Aint nobody got time for botulism and by the way that'da kill ya, doesn't have a smell, nothing, you won't have a clue until you're like laying in your yard waiting on the ambulance!"
Thank you, thank you! 1st time to be canner, I have been looking at my Presto canner for quite a while now, lol. too scared to touch! Your video has helped so much!!!
You are welcome and thrilled it helped! I was scared the first time I used mine I am not going to lie; so tried to make one for others like me so they could jump in !
Wavin' at you from West TN. I have both the Presto 16 and 23 quart canners.and really like them. I'm also a new canner and just like dehydrating, I quickly became addicted. Need a pantry, but since I don't have one, I use plastic shelf units in the laundry room, which is small.. My house is 103 years old, has no heat, AC or much closet space, but I make do. Enjoyed your video, thank you for sharing with us.
Just learning what a great tutorial. I was given an old canner magic seal 7B-16 guess I need to get a new seal and rattle thingy. Hope I can find replacement parts 👋🏻👋🏻💓💓💓💓
You really are a great teacher. I have been nervous getting started. I read the manual 3 times, but you took off the edge. Thank you for the reminder that it’s just canning.😀
Perfect timing! One of my sons was just asking about some of the details involved with canning so I am sharing this with him. He can learn from the best! My computer still won't stream anything without overheating (oh the joys of living far from cities with their multiple service centers! I am looking forward to catching up with everything I have missed all summer when it is fixed or on Paul's big screen in the winter. ;-) Tina
Oh my you are awesome. I adore your sense of humor. I'm a water bath canner and I haven't ventured out to pressure canning. But you make it look very doable. And I'm so glad for your safety tips. Thanks for taking the time to explain everything!!!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU & THANK YOU! I've only had my Presto Canner for 2 MONTHS, then all of a sudden, the Pressure was not RAISING to 10 lbs! i ORDERED ANOTHER RING ........... then I realized ......... AFTER THE FACT .......... the GADGETS had become LOOSE! Therefore, THANK YOU, THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN! Your VIDEO IS MOST VALUABLE & INFORMATIVE!
OMGOODNESS this is to funny that u made this video at this time. I just received my presto canner from online (same one) Thank you so much for sharing this great info for us beginners 😊
Your such a great teacher! Still saving to get a pressure canner then I can put the things I am learning to good use. I am subscribing so I can watch and take notes. Thank you so much
Hi from Australia.. I loved your video... I’m an absolute beginner to pressure canning, so thanks so much for all the help, and for the laughs.. ill be back :).
What a brilliant video! Just what I was looking for. Pressure canning is rare here in the UK, but I think its growing in popularity. I just ordered my canner from US, so swatting up how to use it when it arrives.
I know this video was posted a while ago but I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate it. After watching this, I finally got the nerve to try pressure canning for the first time! You made it look so easy and gave very clear steps for me to follow. Just turned the heat off my canner and can’t wait to see the finished product. Woo-Hoo! Now I am a canner too!
You are Awesome !!!! This will be my first year pressure canning and I have the same Presto canner. This helped take the edge off my fear of Pressure Canning. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much, just spent some more time watching your videos to catch up....lol I also just checked about Zaycon meats that is next on my list. I bought my Presto about 7 years ago and lost the manual and just downloaded it an ordered replacement ring, gauge and a weighted wooble thingy like yours. Just figured it would be better to be safe than sorry if any of them go out.
Good for you on that wobble thingy! I love that little jiggler. Just ONE more thing to make is safer and me feel more confident with the canning! A back up to our back up!
You just earned a subscriber! I love your style...and your knowledge is pretty great too. I’m just learning about canning, and while I’m fearful you’ve definitely made me less worried. Thank you.
Thank you so much! This will be the first time using a pressure canner, your videos are just what I was looking for. I love your videos & know I will be learning so much from you. Thank you :)
I have the presto canner as well and I LOVE IT! It gets the job done at a great price. Most people complain about changing the seals but I haven't had any issues. I was even thinking of buying a second presto canner so I can run them both at the same. And the price is right.
I love this video....I wb can a bunch and one in a while pressure can. I have watched this one several time as my go to not to forget a step!!!! THANK YOU !!!!!!!
Excellent video, with an excellent, easy and thorough explanations of the process and the cautions. I really like your detailed and matter of fact style of explaining everything. Oh, and the thing you call a 'petcock"? It's known as the "air vent". :)
Great Video !!!! The only thing I might add is to keep a journal of successful completions.. For instance we know better than to keep the burner on high in the venting process because we have lowered it minimally and then eventually in greater measurement and nothing bad happened.. We were also able to lower the heat during the process and not lost the boil so it helps us to keep from having overflow by "understanding the process and limitations" and knowing the equipment we were using
Love this video I bout a canner on Christmas I try once and the dial did no move steam was coming from everywhere and I got scared and turn off and haven’t try again.
Hiya Mouse Toes - lovely video, enjoyed it a lot and very informative too. . My Presto 23 Quart is on it's way and I'm grateful for all those tips on how to use it. Thanks :-) !!
Mouse Baby! I just love your videos!!! Not only are they informative but they're so entertaining!!! I was laughing more than a few times! It's your Southern way, It's just so refreshingly, endearing, I love it!!! That was some tasty looking chicken! No doubt it's going to be delicious when you crack em open! Thanks for the video! can't wait till the next one!!!
+momselayor Moms, check out Pecan Corner channel. She is from Texas and her videos are informative while she is hysterical without even trying! th-cam.com/channels/MWUI9clqX_cjQb1whNKFfA.html Plus each week she takes us to her local farmers market and they have a BAND. You will LOVE her channel.
Yes. I believe you referenced her in your fat okra video. So I checked her out at that time. I liked what I saw and I subbed her. Do you know of any thing else I need to check out; sites, chats, ect? I appreciate and value your opinion.
Thanks Mouse! I was already subbed to Madison' and I thought I was subbed to Prepper Potpourri; but I must have been googled at some point. I've never seen Aunt Duddie channel. She seems to be a hoot! looking forward to checking more of her videos out! Thanks!
Thank you for the video. I just bought a 16 quart Presto pressure canner and am excited to learn how to use it. I've only done water bath canning for 2 years for pickles and apple butter. I did have one question: after you put your jars into the canner, how much water did you put into it? I missed that part. My manual says to put in 3 quarts.
Inside your Presto you will see 3 different lines. You can actually feel for them if you can't see them at first. You pressure can at the level of the lowest one. Drag to mark 2.39 and I show with a flashlight where the marks/indentations are. Welcome to pressure canning! If I can ever help please message me.
Hi Mouse Toes! You are a joy to listen to!! You make me feel safe & secure to try doing this myself. 1 question: Was your chicken precooked before you pressure canned it? (I apologize if this was answered already. I didn't scroll down very far in the comments section). Cheers!!
Hi Nu! The chicken was put in raw and the processing cooks it completely AND you get righteous chicken broth in the jar. The first time I pressure canned chicken my hands were shaking and it took us two weeks to open a jar and eat it lol. No longer afraid to do it or eat it and as you see I follow mad safe instructions for doing it EVERY time I can any meats.
Thank you for teaching me step by step! Your fishies went at those chicken scraps like they were piranha! Lol! Ok, so you didn't have to cook the chicken first?!? Good to know! lol! Love it!
I will check it out! Yes, that is so handy! I just got a Presto pressure canner and a friend and neighbor of mine is going to can with me so we can both learn and put up goodies.
I'm at 3200 feet altitude, and the petcock on my 23 quart Presto doesn't rise until after I've vented the canner for the ten minutes and put the weight on. The instructions that come with the canner say to start the ten minutes from when the steady stream of steam commences. They don't mention the petcock in this context at all.
Just canned Yukon golds. They came out darker than I was hoping even after adding a little lemon juice to keep discoloration at a minimum. Did I miss anything else? Love your style and channel!
I have been told it is starch content and had once taters that actually had a SLIGHT pinkish tint to them. it is weird but did not affect the taste. I always do better when I put them in water first and that is where I put a little lemon juice.
Presto 09905 Pressure Cooker Sealing Ring is the title. There are two different ones and will be easy to tell which one fits your canner. The box reads Pressure canner sealing ring.
I saw a review/update on Orchard Road lids where the white lining had bubbled and separated from the lid after two years of storage. Have you had any issues with the lids?
I just got my first pressure canner and its a presto 23 qt. I just canned my first batch of black beans and when it was done there was a little bit of black beans in the canner. So i naturally assumed some wouldn't have sealed but this morning once everything was cooled i realized they were all sealed! So are they no good? Ive never seen anyone address this in a video ! I know yall are probably insanely busy, but if you can't find the time i sure could use the advice! Thanks so much for your help! God bless!
OH I know that feeling BUT you CAN DO IT! Read that manual, follow the instructions on it for the amount of water in the bottom. Make notes, X inches water, rack on bottom, jars put in, Vent X amount of minutes (your canner instructions) etc!
@@MouseToes I actually got the Presto 23qt one. And I ordered me the Excalibur dehydrator yesterday. I’ve never used a canner or a dehydrator. These days have certainly been filled with me saying/thinking, I wish I had learned/listened to my mom when I had the chance. But I think tht today I’m actually gonna try to can something. It’s just each time I think of going and just doing it, I get sick to my stomach. Just nerves I guess. I know I’m crazy but oh boy. LOL
When you said if you have a few extra you put them in the next batch and add a couple of jars of water is that has something to do with equalizing the weight inside and when you’re saying jars of water that’s without lids right? I got my first canner. And it’s just me and my husband so I was thinking about like small batches of chili when I have leftovers I’m just wondering why you said a couple of water
to fill my canner I use some jars with water to 1" headspace, I put a used lid on and I do put a band finger tight. I have the small Presto canner and it holds 8 pints so if I have 3 pints with beans for example I will add 3 jars of water in. It helps the jars to NOT jump around and maybe fall over.
So before I start my canning I should put on my Do Wop music! I am getting my pressure canner soon and I want to make sure I have all the important things down good before I start. Is Do Wop good enough or should I get out my Four Seasons music.
My wife's been canning for years and still watches this video now and again to make sure she's not forgetting anything....lol. You're awesome.
thanks so much Christopher! And way to go on getting yourself a canning wife too!
Thank you Mouse Toes! I bought a canner exactly like this (all that is available right now) and yesterday I watched this video. I did it! I did it!

Just canned my first 7 quarts of potatoes. 🎉🎉. "ITS NOT HARD, ITS JUST CANNING"--Kept this mantra running through my mind. Thank you!
Whooo hooo way to go Karen's Homestead! you got da canning fever NOW!
Good teaching Mrs Toes will direct the new kids to your class with confidence
Thank You......I am so excited about using your videio for my first Presto Canner experience. Please note that I am 73 years of age and just now learning how to use a pressure canner.
Fantastic Sandee! If I can ever help you please feel free to message me and GET YOUR CAN ON Sistah'!

Welcome Joanna W.
Joanna W I am a new canner, too. I have pressure canned a smoked turkey breast broth. It was great!! I stood there and watched my Presto pressure canner that I got off CraigsList.

Thank you Ayla and now you have the Canning Fever along with the hubby! You will look at everything now and say "how would THAT be canned" ? !
Thank you for this video! I'm canning for the first time tomorrow.
Fantastic Jack Jack; and glad the video was helpful. Take your time and your first canning session should be successful!
one pop, two pop, 3 pop, 4, once you start canning, you'll want to do it more! great video lil mouse

so glad it was helpful Wendy and way to go on getting your canner! You CAN do it.
You are handing out correct information on the way to can sweetie... keep it up.. Love you and your channel.. Stay safe. God is Good!
Thank you Ssmy!
Oh my goodness! Thank you for this video! This made me not fear this... "It ain't hard"... just moved to a homestead in the country and am excited for pressure canning since we're running out of room in our two chest freezers since we locally source, hunt, or catch all of our meat. Best line of the entire video: "Aint nobody got time for botulism and by the way that'da kill ya, doesn't have a smell, nothing, you won't have a clue until you're like laying in your yard waiting on the ambulance!"
Hi L A. Thank you and looking forward to hear your success at canning. Fantastic you are homesteading!
Thank you, thank you! 1st time to be canner, I have been looking at my Presto canner for quite a while now, lol. too scared to touch! Your video has helped so much!!!
You are welcome and thrilled it helped! I was scared the first time I used mine I am not going to lie; so tried to make one for others like me so they could jump in !
Wavin' at you from West TN. I have both the Presto 16 and 23 quart canners.and really like them. I'm also a new canner and just like dehydrating, I quickly became addicted. Need a pantry, but since I don't have one, I use plastic shelf units in the laundry room, which is small.. My house is 103 years old, has no heat, AC or much closet space, but I make do. Enjoyed your video, thank you for sharing with us.
I understand the canning addiction!
Just learning what a great tutorial. I was given an old canner magic seal 7B-16 guess I need to get a new seal and rattle thingy. Hope I can find replacement parts 👋🏻👋🏻💓💓💓💓
You really are a great teacher. I have been nervous getting started. I read the manual 3 times, but you took off the edge. Thank you for the reminder that it’s just canning.😀
been a couple of years since I've canned anything, came back here for a quick refresher course.. thank you =D
Glad it helped and get your can ON again!
Perfect timing! One of my sons was just asking about some of the details involved with canning so I am sharing this with him. He can learn from the best! My computer still won't stream anything without overheating (oh the joys of living far from cities with their multiple service centers! I am looking forward to catching up with everything I have missed all summer when it is fixed or on Paul's big screen in the winter. ;-) Tina
Love my Presto Canner....Never hurts to have a refresher. Thanks for doing this...and do have a great voice and love a shares.
Oh my you are awesome. I adore your sense of humor.
I'm a water bath canner and I haven't ventured out to pressure canning. But you make it look very doable. And I'm so glad for your safety tips.
Thanks for taking the time to explain everything!!!
You are welcome; thanks for watching my long winded videos!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU & THANK YOU! I've only had my Presto Canner for 2 MONTHS, then all of a sudden, the Pressure was not RAISING to 10 lbs! i ORDERED ANOTHER RING ........... then I realized ......... AFTER THE FACT .......... the GADGETS had become LOOSE!
Therefore, THANK YOU, THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN! Your VIDEO IS MOST VALUABLE & INFORMATIVE!
Outstanding problem solving Rebecca! Way to go!
I just love you! What a fun and informative video! I just bought my first presto pressure canner. Thanks for the help!

Hi from Australia.. I loved your video... I’m an absolute beginner to pressure canning, so thanks so much for all the help, and for the laughs.. ill be back :).
Hello and welcome Karen Shady!
Thank you so much. Very clear instructions and I really appreciate the time you have taken for this teaching. God bless you!
Thank you so much Ani.
I just ordered mine as a beginning canner. Thank you so much for sharing!
oh that is just fantastic Simply Impish!
That was EXCELLENT! If I were to can, I would use this video as reference. Step by step....So clear. Thank you.
Thank you for your canning playlist! I am new to canning and I am going to watch them all.
Well hello new canner; NOW you have the canning fever!
What a brilliant video! Just what I was looking for. Pressure canning is rare here in the UK, but I think its growing in popularity. I just ordered my canner from US, so swatting up how to use it when it arrives.
Oh fantastic you have a canner on the way! Glad this video was helpful as well.
As a newbie to canning, I found this very helpful. You explain things very well. Thank you.
I know this video was posted a while ago but I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate it. After watching this, I finally got the nerve to try pressure canning for the first time! You made it look so easy and gave very clear steps for me to follow. Just turned the heat off my canner and can’t wait to see the finished product. Woo-Hoo! Now I am a canner too!
WAY to GO jean Hammond! You are now a cannin' sistah'! So glad it helped.
Thank you so much. I was afraid to buy a pressure canner. You made it easy !
You are Awesome !!!! This will be my first year pressure canning and I have the same Presto canner. This helped take the edge off my fear of Pressure Canning. Thank you so much.
Get your can ON Mona! Holler if I can ever help.
Thank you so much, just spent some more time watching your videos to catch up....lol I also just checked about Zaycon meats that is next on my list. I bought my Presto about 7 years ago and lost the manual and just downloaded it an ordered replacement ring, gauge and a weighted wooble thingy like yours. Just figured it would be better to be safe than sorry if any of them go out.
Good for you on that wobble thingy! I love that little jiggler. Just ONE more thing to make is safer and me feel more confident with the canning! A back up to our back up!
Thank you so much for the video. I used my pressure cooker for the first time today and it went perfect!
Beyond FANTASTIC! Hey Hey pressure canner Katherine!
You just earned a subscriber! I love your style...and your knowledge is pretty great too. I’m just learning about canning, and while I’m fearful you’ve definitely made me less worried. Thank you.
Wonderful Nightingale and if you ever have any questions please feel free to message me!
Thank you for the video. Just brought the Presto 23 quart and after watching your video, now I have the confidence to try canning chicken.
You can do it!
Thank you for the time and effort this video took to make. It is very helpful. I just started my pressure canning journey
So glad it was helpful @whiteshadowfare and hot dang ; YOU are a pressure canner!
Thank you so much! This will be the first time using a pressure canner, your videos are just what I was looking for. I love your videos & know I will be learning so much from you. Thank you :)
Very helpful. thank you for taking the extra time to build up the confidence in using my pressure canner
You can do it!
Thank you for the tutorial very Important for us newbies to know. You are a very good teacher. 😊
I have the presto canner as well and I LOVE IT! It gets the job done at a great price. Most people complain about changing the seals but I haven't had any issues. I was even thinking of buying a second presto canner so I can run them both at the same. And the price is right.
+It's A Mom Blog Right on about digging your Presto!
Thank you so much for this video I just got my presto pressure canner and I’m new to this I appreciate you so much love your videos
I love this video....I wb can a bunch and one in a while pressure can. I have watched this one several time as my go to not to forget a step!!!! THANK YOU !!!!!!!
So glad it is helpful Selina! Feels great to get your can ON and know what you canned is safe to consume later.
Very good video for anyone getting into pressure canning. Thanks for sharing my friend.
I enjoyed intermission to watch the fish get fed.
Oh, and I love your stove.
Glad you liked it as never gets old tossing them some food!
lol Thank you! Just got my Presto canner so I am really looking forward to canning. Love your humor! Thank you!
Yay for a new Presto canner user! Holler if I can help in any way.
Mouse Toes Thank you! I'm still watching your video. Great job!
Excellent video, with an excellent, easy and thorough explanations of the process and the cautions.
I really like your detailed and matter of fact style of explaining everything.
Oh, and the thing you call a 'petcock"? It's known as the "air vent". :)
Thank you Larry; NOW if only I can remember it!
Great Video !!!! The only thing I might add is to keep a journal of successful completions.. For instance we know better than to keep the burner on high in the venting process because we have lowered it minimally and then eventually in greater measurement and nothing bad happened.. We were also able to lower the heat during the process and not lost the boil so it helps us to keep from having overflow by "understanding the process and limitations" and knowing the equipment we were using
You are so cute!! lol I loved the way you explained it...aka dummy proof & with your great sense of humor! I'm loving your channel! God bless!
Thank you; I am a knuckle draggin' keep it simple kind of chick Brooklyngirl!
Mouse Toes 😆😆😂😂
Your instructional tutorial is just great. Thank you so much
I am glad; very hard to make short one and not miss any steps! I am a visual learner so just tried to go step by step.
This is a FANTASTIC tutorial. Thank you so very much!!!
Thank you SO much Tomes 23.
Outstanding video! Thank you so very much for answering questions I didn’t even know I needed to ask. New subscriber here!

+momselayor Thanks Moms!
+momselayor Moms, check out Pecan Corner channel. She is from Texas and her videos are informative while she is hysterical without even trying! th-cam.com/channels/MWUI9clqX_cjQb1whNKFfA.html
Plus each week she takes us to her local farmers market and they have a BAND. You will LOVE her channel.
Yes. I believe you referenced her in your fat okra video. So I checked her out at that time. I liked what I saw and I subbed her. Do you know of any thing else I need to check out; sites, chats, ect? I appreciate and value your opinion.

Thanks Mouse! I was already subbed to Madison' and I thought I was subbed to Prepper Potpourri; but I must have been googled at some point. I've never seen Aunt Duddie channel. She seems to be a hoot! looking forward to checking more of her videos out! Thanks!
Will you please do a video on water bath canning ? I want to can some tomatoes and fig preserves this summer? please??
Be glad to Gina!
Just bought the 23 Qt. can't wait to get started 😊
Woot Karen! You gonna get the pressure canning FEVER!
Thank you for the video. I just bought a 16 quart Presto pressure canner and am excited to learn how to use it. I've only done water bath canning for 2 years for pickles and apple butter. I did have one question: after you put your jars into the canner, how much water did you put into it? I missed that part. My manual says to put in 3 quarts.
Inside your Presto you will see 3 different lines. You can actually feel
for them if you can't see them at first. You pressure can at the level
of the lowest one.
Drag to mark 2.39 and I show with a flashlight where the marks/indentations are. Welcome to pressure canning! If I can ever help please message me.
That’s the one I’m looking at purchasing!
I started watching this and was canning chicken and had already jammed my record player with CCR. High Five!! I'm a canner, too!
Love it; and yay on CCR!
Thankyou so much for such detailed information. This will hopefully help me in the near future! 🤗❤️
You are welcome and you can do it Lisa McWilliams!
Hi Mouse Toes! You are a joy to listen to!! You make me feel safe & secure to try doing this myself. 1 question: Was your chicken precooked before you pressure canned it? (I apologize if this was answered already. I didn't scroll down very far in the comments section). Cheers!!
Hi Nu! The chicken was put in raw and the processing cooks it completely AND you get righteous chicken broth in the jar. The first time I pressure canned chicken my hands were shaking and it took us two weeks to open a jar and eat it lol. No longer afraid to do it or eat it and as you see I follow mad safe instructions for doing it EVERY time I can any meats.
Thank you so much for your explanation, it was so helpful.
Thank you for teaching me step by step! Your fishies went at those chicken scraps like they were piranha! Lol! Ok, so you didn't have to cook the chicken first?!? Good to know! lol! Love it!
+The Oily Prepper Right, raw packing the chicken and you add no liquid; it makes its own chicken broth! I have a video canning chicken and pork.
I will check it out! Yes, that is so handy! I just got a Presto pressure canner and a friend and neighbor of mine is going to can with me so we can both learn and put up goodies.
I didn't see you prep the chicken. Is it raw when you put it in? Did I miss that part?
I have a video on raw pack of chicken and it is: th-cam.com/video/lHTiYf8qM_4/w-d-xo.html
This video is using a pressure canner.
Where do you buy your orchard road lids from
YOu can get them from orchardroadcanning.com and I have even ordered them from Amazon when a seller had a sale.
do you wait for the petcock and steam to start coming out then start you ten minuets of vent time?
Yes once that petcock pops up I start the 10 minute timer for venting.
I'm at 3200 feet altitude, and the petcock on my 23 quart Presto doesn't rise until after I've vented the canner for the ten minutes and put the weight on. The instructions that come with the canner say to start the ten minutes from when the steady stream of steam commences. They don't mention the petcock in this context at all.
Realy fine to find a helpful people like U, thanks for this video.
Just canned Yukon golds. They came out darker than I was hoping even after adding a little lemon juice to keep discoloration at a minimum. Did I miss anything else? Love your style and channel!
I have been told it is starch content and had once taters that actually had a SLIGHT pinkish tint to them. it is weird but did not affect the taste. I always do better when I put them in water first and that is where I put a little lemon juice.
That ring kit you recommended is no longer available at the link you posted. Can you please see if you can find another one?
Presto 09905 Pressure Cooker Sealing Ring is the title. There are two different ones and will be easy to tell which one fits your canner. The box reads Pressure canner sealing ring.
I saw a review/update on Orchard Road lids where the white lining had bubbled and separated from the lid after two years of storage. Have you had any issues with the lids?
No issues for me even the ones with tomato sauce in them.
I just checked a tomato sauce from 2015 with Orchard Road lid and looked at a new Ball and a new Orchard Road and they have the same white underside.
+Mouse Toes thank you for answering my question and thank you for your great videos!
I just got my first pressure canner and its a presto 23 qt. I just canned my first batch of black beans and when it was done there was a little bit of black beans in the canner. So i naturally assumed some wouldn't have sealed but this morning once everything was cooled i realized they were all sealed! So are they no good? Ive never seen anyone address this in a video ! I know yall are probably insanely busy, but if you can't find the time i sure could use the advice! Thanks so much for your help! God bless!
Thank u so much. I just got my canner a few days ago but it’s still in the box. I’m just so nervous
OH I know that feeling BUT you CAN DO IT! Read that manual, follow the instructions on it for the amount of water in the bottom. Make notes, X inches water, rack on bottom, jars put in, Vent X amount of minutes (your canner instructions) etc!
@@MouseToes I actually got the Presto 23qt one. And I ordered me the Excalibur dehydrator yesterday. I’ve never used a canner or a dehydrator. These days have certainly been filled with me saying/thinking, I wish I had learned/listened to my mom when I had the chance. But I think tht today I’m actually gonna try to can something. It’s just each time I think of going and just doing it, I get sick to my stomach. Just nerves I guess. I know I’m crazy but oh boy. LOL
When you said if you have a few extra you put them in the next batch and add a couple of jars of water is that has something to do with equalizing the weight inside and when you’re saying jars of water that’s without lids right? I got my first canner. And it’s just me and my husband so I was thinking about like small batches of chili when I have leftovers I’m just wondering why you said a couple of water
to fill my canner I use some jars with water to 1" headspace, I put a used lid on and I do put a band finger tight. I have the small Presto canner and it holds 8 pints so if I have 3 pints with beans for example I will add 3 jars of water in. It helps the jars to NOT jump around and maybe fall over.
Love the cork trivet!
Thanks Carmen Webster! The hubster makes them for me!
Can I recann my jars if I didn’t do it properly the first time? Should I replace the lids first?
Is it ok if I use the weight that comes with it
absolutely YES!
So before I start my canning I should put on my Do Wop music! I am getting my pressure canner soon and I want to make sure I have all the important things down good before I start. Is Do Wop good enough or should I get out my Four Seasons music.
Dern skippy get your do Wop music going!
Loved the details, thank you!
Thank you primrozie!
what is dimension on the flat bottom? I have a flat stove. was told it will work on it.
