A microbiologist approves this message 😉
Excellent advice! I learned how to can from my stepmom, and she was a stickler for cleanliness during canning. She also takes the rings off the jars and doesn't stack them on the shelves. She taught me what should be canned by water bath, like peaches and tomatoes, and what should be canned by pressure, like venison. It's too bad a lot of young people don't get taught these skills as much any more.
regardless of how you canned it OR stored it OR how it "looks"
... when you go to open a jar and it was not sealed... you don't eat it. PERIOD. The End.
I just went and took all my rings off my jars at 12:43 a.m. 😂 I'm brand new to canning
Little late to this video, but this discussion happened between hubs and I this week. His mom and granny removed the rings, my mom and granny left them on. Both of us thought it was personal preference. After watching this, we will be removing the rings from now on. Learn something new every day. Thanks!
This is so true! I've just started canning and I put a batch of Beef Stroganoff up to cool. After a day, I was able to remove the rings and support each jar by grasping only the lid - everything was sealed. As my pantry grew, I was admiring my supply when I put my finger on the lid of one of my Stroganoff jars ... I notice the center button was up. Curious ... I picked the jar up by the lid and it supported the jar, but still, the button on the lid was up. I carried it to the kitchen and when I put the jar down, the lid slid right off. Now that was a false seal! What happened was that during the canning, I overfilled that jar and some of the Stroganoff siphoned out and contaminated the rim of the class as it was under pressure and sealing. After a while, the debris on the jar's edge started to decay and that destroyed the vacuum but held the lid on kind of like a glue.
Thank you for this. My grandfather has been canning all my life (34 years) and then some. It doesn't matter what he cans, you can guarantee 1/4 to 1/2 of it "just goes bad." He leaves rings on. He stacks things. He is careless with the cleaning and says "You're going to boil it so it doesn't matter." I don't eat any of it, and never wanted to do it. I figured canning was a great way to just waste half of whatever I wanted to put up, so I've been freezing things. What I have learned from your video and several others is that it isn't canning that is the problem, but carelessness :)
I wanted to get into canning because I saw a video in my recommended feed about canning meats. I enjoy simple things like chicken and dumplings and beef stew. From what I am seeing, if I do things properly, there is no reason I can't can chicken in broth and have that part ready to go, or can some stew. All without having to worry about a large portion going bad.
Thank you :)
I am almost 60 years old and have canned for years and years. This is the most informational video I have ever seen. Thank you Patera, I really did not know not to leave the rings on or not to stack the jars. Again TY and no matter how old a person is there is still room for learning.
contact your county's Home Extension Program for the latest OFFICIAL safety information about home canning. Get the Ball Blue Book --the latest edition.
you reminded me of a saying my mom and grandma always said..."the day you stop learning is the day you put one foot in your casket"..
I actually read the USDA guide to canning cover to cover when I was first learning how to make preserves and let me tell you you don't soon forget the section on botulism. It made me hypervigilant about making and maintaining a good seal and storing properly. Great video! Creators sometimes mention taking off the rings but no one has ever said don't stack your jars, that's good advice.
Omg!!!! You saved my family's life!!!! I can't thank you enough for this VALUABLE INFORMATION!!!!! I only PRAY that a lot of others come across this video and get educated. Again, THANK YOU. I've been doing this all wrong and ending up with the same mold issue and left to throw it out! Ladies and gents, PLEASE take heed to this woman's advice! She's giving it out free and possibly saving lives!!!!!
I've been canning for over 20 years. I totally agree with all of this.
So glad to see you embrace "doing it right" instead of following grandma's old ways. So many of the young bloggers//vloggers use sketchy methods and follow with 'well, it works for me'. Canning is a wonderful skill, but food safety should be a priority over 'easy'. THANK YOU.
Thank you so much!
Long story short, don't stack your jars/cans, and don't store them with the rings still on. Thanks!
Lol...Right
Mad Hatter, I have always taken my rings off.
@@carolynhelmic1474 Here's the one thing she didn't address: how long do you leave the rings (on) before removing? I haven't ever canned, but would like to start. Thank you.
Why do you take the rings off
This could have been a shorter video. Remove the rings, don’t stack them. 1 minute!
I know this video is over a year old, but I just saw it and am so glad I did. I've been canning for decades the way granny taught me. I checked all my canned foods (Yes, the rings were on) and found a few false seals. Thank you for literally saving our lives. Just goes to show you....you are never too old to learn.
This is the best video explaining reasons why you don’t keep bands on, you don’t stack and you properly follow directions when canning. Thank you so much!!!!! ❤️🙌🎉
I was fortunate because the Mississippi extension service had a canning class. First thing I learned was not to rub my eye when making pepper jelly :)
After buying my first jar of cranberry jalapeno jelly at a church fair last year, I totally understand NOT rubbing your eyes. Went down real easy and then came the after burn. Yummy jelly! It numbed my tongue quite nicely.
Russell 😂
Russell this made me crack up 😆😆😆 thanks for the tip.
Or take your lasix when cleaning peppers.... ;D
Im still working on that one lol
3 years later and I want to say, "Louder, for the people in the back!" Great video and all very true.
Wow - I have never, ever heard the explanation (nor the necessity) of removing and not leaving the rings on the jars! I am glad I watched and thank you. :)
I couldn't agree more. Also, keeping the rings on prevents you from washing the jars well before storing. Leaving the rings on also contributes to them rusting. Maybe you are short on rings because they are just too rusty. Have you ever checked the price of new rings? You might as well buy a new case of jars! My mom always stored the rings on metal clothes hangers that she would open up with pliers, then she could hang them to keep air circulation going helping them to stay rust free. Also make sure the rings are washed, rinsed and dried thoroughly before storing. If I have some rusty rings I reserve them for giveaways, always assuming I will not get the empty back. My kids are the worst violators of this 😎
thank you for the information. I am a retired single man and just starting canning and can use all the help I can get!
Same here, Donald. I take notes in a small journal as well.
My adult son is an organic chemist, and an expert at canning.
@@sandrastreifel6452 Hi, Sandra! I used to work for the head of the Chemistry Dep. at the Univ. of Memphis years ago. One of the few jobs I loved!!
I still pretty much have my training wheels on. Welcome aboard!!!
I am 50+ and am just getting started , watched my mother for years growing up , did most of the gardening and prep work , we had six children and did about 600aqts a year
So glad we happened to watch this while my husband was attentive! We're just getting started canning, and he hates to "waste" anything! Thanks for the safety tip and reminder!!
I don't leave the rings on but do stack jars. I never thought of the seal possibly being compromised. Thanks Patera! I'm checking them jars today!
This is my first time watching your channel. Love it! It’s been 3 years since you made this, but it’s timeless. I’ve never canned, but I’m considering the value of canning. I’ve listened to a lot of TH-cam videos about canning, and I’ve never heard of the two warnings that you presented here. Thanks for the tips, and I love your clear and frank style.
I questioned myself when I took the lids off as I started canning because grandma never did. This makes so much sense for safety! Thank you.
Thank you!! This warning should be put on every canning video, just like the warning on woodworking videos, like “be sure to always wear goggles and avoid putting your hand into the blade when the saw is turned on”.
I'm a new canner and this information was very enlightening. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with those of us who are just starting out.
Hi Patera! I have been watching your channel for over a year now. I came across this video and found it so helpful. Being new to canning this summer, I was stacking my jars AND leaving the rings on so I would not loose them. I watched this video and went to the basement right away and took the rings off every jar. 2 salsa jars were not sealed. I think you probably have a lot of new subscribers and I recommend you reposting this video or mentioning it.. Thank you for your dedication educating others. Makes me really miss my Grammy at times like this. Thanks again!
I remember asking my mother in law why we had to take the rings off, she just said we didn't have enough and needed then for the next batch. Later I learned it was a safety issue. Hubby learned the hard way that you can't stack jars. It's also a great recommendation, in my opinion, to wash jars with bleach before storing them in the pantry long term.
I work for a place that sells canners and jars and this lady’s info is spot on. Please also know lids are single use only. Also can within your capabilities. Don’t start with canning meat or items that require more experience and experimentation. Thank you.
So when will you know if you can move up to canning meats and such? I'm just starting to can due to the world situation and my overabundant garden, but would also like to be able to can my chicken when I butcher. So serious question. I've always dehydrated before but decided to not just count on that.
Important topic. My grandfather died from bad canned food he ate at a church gathering. Left behind grandma and four children under 12 years old, including my mother. I was taught to respect food prep safety.
LKH Fun Wow. That's terrible. It's a pretty rare occurrence these days. How many other people died from that bad batch?
I am very picky on who's canning I eat as well, after seeing how some people just don't seem to take the care needed in canning, Canning is very easy, but it must be done right, no skipping any steps, and if done right its safe.
lol
Wow, I am so sorry. I didnt know improper canning could be so dangerous !!!
That's so sad. What a horrible thing for your family. When my Nana taught me jam making, the only canning she did, she always insisted on proper procedures and extreme cleanliness, mostly to avoid that sort of thing. She had been an RN and had seen things like that in the hospital when she was younger.
Awesome tips. I am new to canning and researching about it. Just wanted to ask, at what point in the canning process should we take the rings off? Is it after they've cooled down and ready for storing? TIA. :)
Thank you for the demo. I have been jarring sauce for many years and do not remove the rings but am very happy to learn this. It’s certainly worth the precaution.
I just pressure canned for the first time this week. This was so incredibly helpful! Thank you!
Thank you for this information. I thought it was just being frugal with the rings. I really didnt know it was a safety issue. Nor did I know about not stacking jars. As I am just beginning to get into canning this info is invaluable.
Thank you so much ! Just in my 4th year of canning soooo much to learn with no time to learn between work raising kids cleaning house and running a garden , thanks again for keeping it short and to the point
Love the kick ass rant videos, but these real life practical how to videos are really where it's at. We need to learn the skills! At 57, I really just thought I am too old and my brain is too tired to learn something new. Because of all the produce we rescue, my viewers always ask if I can, and I didn't until a week ago because I feared it. Now I LOVE IT!
Thanks for explaining and showing what can happen when using rings-----they could create a false seal.
Also stacking can create a false seal. Being new at this, I have an interest in learning the why as well as the what to stay safe.😀
THANK YOU!!!! My mother always promised that she would show me how to can. However, she died nearly 5 yrs before I NEEDED to can in order to feed my family during the pandemic. I'm going to check all my jars tonight!
When I first started canning 40 yrs ago, I learned real quick not to leave the rings on. They rusted so bad that I couldn't get the ring to unscrew. Now, I take them off, wash all my jars with warm water, dry them, then store them. I also learned to put vinegar in the pot of boiling water or the pressure canner to keep the film off of the jar.
Great tip!!
That's how i learned too. Had to cut a few bands off in my garage they rusted on so tight.
Thanks for the explanation on that. It makes perfect sense why not to do that. Both which I do or have done.
Thanks for the tip!
Thank you so much. Canning safety is not understood by many home canners. If this helped just one person from getting food poisoning , your time is well worth it. "A picture is worth 1,000 words", but your vid is worth 10,000!
JAS
Oh my goodness sakes!!! I did not know this.... Thank you for taking time away from your work to put this information out. I was getting ready to make that very mistake.
You just saved me a lot of money and possibly from getting myself and family sick....
I have just started canning this past growing season (yes I am homesteader) . I grew up on a farm but was never around canning foods.. I watch how to videos , you tube ect.. learned last year when canning potatoes never leave the skins on no matter how well you clean them.. same with carrots. I was lucky the lids bowed after couple of days.. (was thrown out) I learned from that mistake with out getting sick.. I Did not know about the rings and stacking them.. Thank you, you might of saved my life or family members life.
Thanks for watching!
Potatoes and carrots being low acid need to be pressure canned.
Patara! Just found your channel a few months ago and have been watching these older videos...
THANK YOU! I did not know about this----yes, I leave the rings on; yes, I stack jars; and I keep them in the canning boxes. Uh oh! I've been doing it ALL wrong. Seems like my husband just got a new job to do---building me some canning shelves. Like you said, if you're going to do all this work, might as well do it right.
Thank you again.
Well done. I've been canning for 40 years, and I follow these rules as taught by my folks and grandparents but didn't know why.
“ I don’t care if there under your bed, on the moon, in your underwear drawer!” Lol so funny 🤣 love it
Great information. Been canning for over 50 years. Thankful, never lost a jar of food. You must research and learn. Never get too old to learn and listen. Have always done as you are showing, but never knew why it was best to put something (boxes/cardboard) etc. between the tops and bottoms of jars, had just always done it. Somewhere along the line someone learned to do it, just didn't pass the reason along to me. I do it for convenience in stacking my canned goods and it helped me in storage space, now I know I am also keeping everyone safer. Thanks girl.
The point wasn't that it's best to put something between the tops and bottoms of jars but if you're short on space and need to stack, then put them in the boxes that you bought the jars in and stack the boxes themselves. Hope that makes sense?
Literally just learned to take rings off this week! I've been canning for the last 8 years.
I've been canning since the late 1990's. I agree with everything you said.
Thank you so much for explaining why you don't do those "no no's", I had no idea and I'm just starting out with canning. It's really appreciated!
My wife and I found some plastic canning jar storage boxes at Walmart last night. You put the jars in them ( 12 jars per box.) and they are taller than the jars for stacking. Almost see through so you can make out what is in them.We found pint and quart, but did not see half gallon. Have not used them yet, but the wife bought them for something else. This video made me think about them.Great teaching video Patara, thanks
Mike Griffin I bought one of those as well, it works great to take camping. I don't have to wrap each jar individually. Glad to hear they are at Wal-Mart
JarBoxes are GREAT! They're better than trying to put the filled jars in the original boxes for the jars. They're very sturdy. Walmart has them at the lowest prices, unless they're on sale somewhere. As far as I know, they're only(?) available in quart and pint sizes. Not sure what people who can in pint and a half or half pints would do. They're great. I'm slowly buying more to transfer some my jars into them.
Mike Griffin I've seen those and thought they are ridiculously expensive! They would be nice for camping, though. :)
I knew about the rings but I had no idea that I was not supposed to stack them. I keep on learning. Thanks for video!
If you can push down on the center of the top and it pops, it is not sealed.
Pops down or pops back up when you release your finger?
@@buckthorn7084 if it moves at all, up or down, it is not sealed.
@@Michelle-oz1jc Thanks!
@@buckthorn7084 You can push down and it NOT move and it still NOT be sealed as well
@@SunshineCountryChickens Thank you
Thank you thank you thank you!! I will definitely follow this rule! I've always wondered how you can know for sure if there is something growing in your cans. Now I know, just allow the lids to be able to pop off enough so that air gets in and the stuff grows in plain sight. EXCELLENT info!
Great video and also keep in mind.................... manufacturing flaws in the lids. Since ball changed the rings from rubber to plastic a few years ago the failures seems to have went up among people who do their own canning.
I noticed that.
I feel like im in trouble and i am getting a chewing...... 🙄Lol
Does this apply to dehydrated items? I am guessing no but thought I would ask. I am new to canning
She is scolded us ......
Ha haha I had to stop @3:13 because she gave inaccurate information - I added a comment with the link to the NCFHP to correct it. I also felt I was being scolded LOL I did not finish the video.
mothernatureworks did you reply on the wrong comment?
@@mimiso2522 are you talking about stacking in boxes no more than 2 high?
Thank you, I have never heard why to remove the rings and it all makes sense now. great learning video.
Thank you for this information - grew up with canned goods and I'm sure everything was stored with rings on. I have done the same, but NO MORE. It's too easy to just remove the rings, rather than take that chance. Love your channel!
I would like to tell you how much I love and respect you I am so thankful that I was able to receive your videos God bless you and your family. I live in the north woods of Wisconsin I am a Christian and appreciate you so very much God bless🙏
Thank you for sharing this. I did not know that you were supposed to take the rings off, but it makes sense.
I just literally learning about canning so I am grateful for your safety updates. Thank you for taking a moment from your fencing.
OMG. I loved this video! I grew up with the lid on or off discussions from grandmas and moms. My mom had her shelves in the cellar built just the right height for quart jars so there was never any stacking. Not sure if she knew this or just space saving.
Just started canning. Never would've thought to take the lids off, but it makes sense.
I absolutely agree whit this information! I have had two jars do this as well, both times were after Ball changed the lids and the way you use them during canning. I was so upset when I found out why this happened to my food. I believe Ball let those of us canners down by not letting the change be know in an more up front way. With that being said I still use their products and will continue to do so. I always try to follow all safety guidelines when canning and always read up on the procedures even though I have canned for years! I want to make sure what I am doing is as safe as possible!
Absolutely! Thanks for watching! Safety first! xo
Thanks for great information. I" canned and helped can thousands of jars of food and always read all the instructions and followed them. One of the older canning books I own even says that if you have a jar go bad with botulism to bury it six feet deep. I thank you for showing that jar of tomatoes. I think people just wouldn't have believed it other wise. Thank God your a country girl.
I like to hear the lids pop as they seal... sometimes even before they come out of the pressure cooker... wait 24 hours to take the bands off.. check the seals... wipe the jars down and recheck the seals :-)
Thanks for the detailed advice on when to take the bands off. I have been canning for a long time and never heard that you should take the rings off. Canning is a wonderful past time but if not done right can be very dangerous. I always try to err on the side of safety.
Wipe down with what? Can the jars be flipped upside down while wiping?
MN Patriot me too, I love to hear that pop, it's so satisfying 😊
Probably wipe down with vinegar.
I also want to hear the lids pop when I break the seal to open them, so I can hear the pressure rushing into the jar. No pop when I open, the can was not sealed proper.
Thank you. I’ve been helping with canning since a little girl. Stepping out on my own now and it’s good to learn the bits and pieces that I’ve not been taught
I haven't started canning yet, still in the research stage. This info makes total sense even to a person who has never canned. Thank you!
I'm a newbie. Thank u for video. Its important to learn proper way to can..
Excellent video. I've always been afraid to try canning, but your video shows the thought and safety you put into it. I'm totally doing it this year. Subscribed! Now I've got to get to watching more of your videos.
Perfectly on-point video! Also on the subject of safety, for those who have the mindset that their family has done x, y, or z for a hundred years "and nobody's died yet", be aware the symptoms of botulism poisoning and stroke are very similar. In years past, botulism deaths were likely to be misdiagnosed as stroke.
Yes, ma'am! Thanks so much! xo
Thank you for explaining why not to leave rings on or stacking. No one ever explained it. 🙂 Now I see why. I enjoy your vlogs, spot on. 🇺🇲
Thank you so much for a very informative video! The "why" behind the "how" can make a world of difference.
Thank you, Patara. Having recently started experimenting with canning, I always wondered why some of the jars that my family recieved from others didn't come with the ring. I will never stack or leave the rings on mine ever again!
Amen, sister. Preach it.
Let me add, when you GIFT can goods, give instructions on safe keeping of foodstuffs. ...take band off...nothing on top...store in fridge after opening, use the ring then... etc.
Great point! What are the rest of the "etc." to tell?
t andonoff That was pretty much it, except: store the unopened jar in a cool, dark place.
I am new to canning and having a blast. I am so glad I saw this video and double checked all of myself jars, nothing double stacked or with rims on that have been through the sealing process. Either water bathed or pressure canned. I had several because I wanted to give them as gifts. Fortunately they were just canned a few days ago. Mistake fixed and I thank you so much!
Thanks so much. I will immediately remove the rings from all of my canned goods. I'm happy to report that I got a check mark for already storing the canned goods in the boxes that the jars came in. It's just more contained and efficient storage for me.
This was the first and best explanation I've heard for this. Everyone says don't leave the kids on but never explain why. Your the first I've heard say not to stack them either. Very good to know all this as this will be my first year canning.
Thank You for those helpful suggestions/instructions! As a beginning canner, I appreciate you sharing what NOT to do😁
definitely did not know you're supposed to take the rings off... thanks for the good info!
Yes, ma'am. We learn as we go! Thanks for watching! xo
I’ve been canning over 40 years I’ve always left the rings on. My granny left the rings on. I don’t see me changing the way I do things now but I’m always up to learn something new.
Agree.. so did mine grandma, great grandmother and so on down the line....
My wife and I have canned for 22 years ourselves and have always done the same.... dont see changing it anytime soon either.
Thank you so.much Patara. I am a stickler about canning and I did not know about removing the Rings Intel about a month ago. I watch some videos on TH-cam about canning and think Omg! You are broadcasting unsafe things.
I am so glad you shared this. Thank you.
I have canned for years and lost 2 jars this way. I never leave the ring on. People need to no this, so thank you for telling us this.You have saved a lot of people from getting sick. God bless
I had never heard about storing canned goods with the rings! Patara, I love to hear you talk it makes me so home sick!
xoxo
i have been canning my entire life and i still love learning things like taking the rings off all the rest of stuff i do
I never knew the purpose of taking the rings off. Thanks much
;-)
As one lady said, since Ball went from rubber to plastic, I would bet that is what made a major difference!!! Who knew they had changed that?!!! Thanks, n I wonder why? Is the plastic much cheaper? Yuck, heating plastic food at the same time.
You have taught me something I DID NOT KNOW!! I had to pause the video, go remove my rings and unstack jars. Additionally, I found 3 jars of Cajun beans that had not remained sealed.....saved us a trip to the Doc. Been canning for 10 yrs, learned something new!!
Thank you so much for the info. So far, the only thing I have "canned" is jelly. I bought a bushel of tomatoes with the intention of canning them. Yours is the first how to video I've watched. Will definitely take your advice!
Thank you for sharing this. I'm just starting my research into canning and this is so, so helpful and will hopefully save my family from getting sick!
Patara, I just had my hubby watch this. He didn't want me taking off the rings, but I knew what is safe & correct, so I ignored him. So, thank you for this valuable info. FYI....he was in the bathroom & I stormed in & made him watch this, lol. ;-)
Haha! That is so funny! Thanks for watching! Stay safe! xo
I have been canning for about 50 years.I've never heard you need to take the rims off.I always did when I was running short on rims thow. I will now take ALL rims off.
yep you only need 7 to 14 rings depending on what size canner you have..Just reuse ,reuse,reuse..
I'm a stickler for removing the rims, but I always thought it was because I'm a cheap skate and don't want to buy more rims. Also I use rims and recycled lids on canning jars for storing grains and pasta.
Stormed in like a true psycho.
Thanks....I am new to canning and I did not know these things,,,love and light to all.
Thanks for promoting safe canning practices! This video was the first of yours I came across and it earned my subscription. Thanks for sharing so much of what you do!
Boy o boy, if anyone wonders if there is a lot of interest in food independence, note that this video has 40+ thousand thumbs up. Wow! That includes only those who remembered to hit the thumbs up button. Way to go, Patara.
You know what would be easier if everybody agreed with what the rules were. Im new to canning its not a big thing in the UK but Ive already heard different things from differnt canners channels about what is safe and what isnt. Its hard for us newbies to get the right info
tuubydude
You can but they are REALLY expensive, plus I dont have to worry about that as Im moving to Tennnessee soon :)
tuubydude
Cool Im moving to sprinfield, my other half lives there already, Im waiting on my visa so I can finally get married :)
tuubydude
I know I was there for 3 months this summer, I must say I love air con
The National Center for Home Food Preservation is the ultimate safety authority. It's a good idea to get your information from that website, or to at least use it to verify what you "hear" on the Internet.
Roma Seiker
There was one based at a university in TN they had pretty solid info. I dont know if thats it but they had alot of science about canning it was interesting. But thanks I will google what you said.
7/16/23… 1st time in my life anyone has ever said this to me. I am terrified of botulism. Thank you!!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this. I've been canning for a long time but... I'm young... so rarely is my advice taken as knowledgeable. This is what I preach all the time and get pooh-pooped. Now I have a resource to point to. Yay! If they won't listen to me, maybe they'll listen to you.
I am so glad you tackled this subject. It's really just common sense. I have been canning about 15 years now and the only trouble like that I have ever had was I had 3 batches 7 quarts each of something. I only have two pressure canners so I left the 3rd batch on the counter until I was through with the first two batches. None of the third batch sealed and all became dog food. I needed to keep them hot somehow.
Thank you for showing. I have been canning for many years and always left the rings on. As soon as this video was done, I pulled the rings off all my jars. Now I know better.
I have always wondered why some homemade preserves don't have rings on them. I thank you for this info.
Just started canning. Thanks for the info. I’m a convert and now preach your message to my friends.
Thank you for sharing! I am new to canning and this was a big eye opener. It just makes sense.
Thank you so much!!!! I'm brand new to canning! So new that all I have done so far is buy the books to learn and watched some vids on the topic. No other vid I've seen even mentioned any of this! Thank you so much! I will not forget this vid and I won't ever leave the ring on or stack them!!!
