I just learned more about food safety in under 24 mins then in 12 years of school and years of collage. This video should be a teaching aid for all kids in school. Thanks for all the hard work and research you did to provide this great content. Happy Homesteading
10 1/2 years of school and no college. THEN we didn't know about botulism. I learned about it when I started canning, even though I took 3 Home Economic classes in high school. Better late THAN never tho!
Thanks for this video! I am a doctor who has seen many cases of severe Botulism when whole families ended up in the ICU, half of them dying and funerals held while the rest of the family was still struggling... I do canning myself too and keep repeating and educating my surrounding since nowadays it's much rarer and those who haven't seen this horror tend to forget about the importance of precautionary measures. P.S. I think it's important to mention that if you have any doubts about any canned food regarding Botulism you can still eat it provided that you empty it in a pot and give it a boil for about ten minutes. The Botulitoxin is a large protein that is denaturated and rendered harmless at temperatures below boiling point. So, boiling the contents of your can for some ten minutes is the way to go to be 100% safe.
Thank you so much for your comment. I hope many of our viewers will read your comment! I have mentioned in other videos about boiling the food for 10 minutes as a safety precaution. Thank you for helping to spread the word!
@@fertile_farmacy1802 @fertile_farmacy1802 Armenia, during the years of the fall of the Soviet Union in the early nineties. It was very much the same in other ex-USSR countries, where people used to can food a lot, there was no other option. And during those years the cases peaked. I wouldn't call such frequent and even large scale family cases of botulism poisoning an outbreak as such, unless it happens with customers of a restaurant or purchasers of a certain factory-made brand where canning has gone wrong. Each and every one of these was an isolated focal case... And can you imagine a hospital with electricity cuts and insufficient finances for fuel for the backup generators (not to say war and blockade with no fuel available in the first place)? When the electricity went off all free residents, nurses, cleaning staff etc rushed to the ICU to take turns on the Ambu bags to keep the many patients breathing (not only Botulism cases of course)... It was a disaster. Try pumping an Ambu bag for several minutes and your hands will get numb... I can't forget those years, I've even operated under candle light, with several people holding candles close to my sterile operating field... For "rebel canning", I wouldn't advise it at all. Disaster happens only once and then it might be too late to regret. For open-lid fermented food, like pickles, it's OK and it might be relatively safe for highly salted, sugary or acidic preservation (depending on percentage, the higher the safer), but if your "canning" has neither of these and it's under a tight lid with no aeration, it has the perfect anaerobic environment for Clostridium Botulinum to grow. It takes just one spore to land on the food before you close it... Even if you have an open jar, i.e. not tightly closed, only the top layers will be aerated and Botulism might grow in a corner at the bottom where not much oxygen gets through... Ten people might eat and be OK but the one who was unlucky enough to spoon the affected corner might get the ticket to meet his Lord ... This is nothing to joke about or rebel against!
This video should be put on a DVD that is included with every canner. I see comments on other channels from people who have never canned before; they are looking for this knowledge. Excellent video!
At the very least, a link to this or some other video with detailed instructions. Everybody learns differently, I always prefer a video over reading material
I am 68 yrs old and have canned most of my life. I have always followed the guidelines and was always aware of botulism. It was not until now I understood what it is. Thank you so much.
"KNOWLEDGE IS POWER" I have learned all the "do's and don'ts" of canning from watching dozens of other videos-but you are the first one to EXPLAIN the why!!! Thank you for such an informative video! I will be canning my first jars of chicken tomorrow and I feel ready!
Pam, you are the food safety sniper - showing us where the ‘kill-zone’ is for taking out the baddies in our food preservation journey. Thanks for your scientific approach to everything you do!
This was the best article that I have ever watched about Botulism and pressure canning. Thank you so much for showing and proving to people about how to annihilate botulism. I am so tired of hearing people preach that my grandmother did this and she did that and it never killed her. People are your loved ones not important enough to can safely? Thanks again RosRed.. you are a very educated woman and I appreciate your sharing your knowledge with us. God Bless You and I love your channel.
@@RoseRedHomestead Hello Rose: At 10:40, you stated that a potato should never be stored in an airtight container. Instead potatoes should be stored naked in the fridge... If you can clarify please: - Is it safe to store cooked peeled potatoes cut up in a Tupperware in the fridge? (The term "should be stored naked in the fridge." is not clear to me so I ask) Sincerely, thank you for all your great informative videos & attention to details that others always seem to miss!. You are the best!
I randomly clicked on this video and wasn't sure what to expect. This is a much more thorough explanation for canning than I have ever seen anywhere else online. Wonderful presentation, and thanks for the information!
This video has educated me on the content, but it also showed me how lacking my formal education was and how awful 90% of my teachers were. This was tremendous, thank you for making this.
Thank you so much. My biggest fear is that in trying to secure food for my kids I'll end up killing them. I watch people do all kinds of questionable canning and it really makes me uneasy. The fact that you are educated and have decades of experience gives me such peace of mind. You don't cut corners and put theories to a test.
Pam, thank you for these videos regarding safe canning. With so many people new to canning, I fear for the newbies getting bad and dangerous information. We all want to provide good food for our families, but there is so much misleading information out there it’s almost criminal. Great video, thank you.
Finding that boiling the canned food eliminate the toxins is the key to allow me the peace of mind to use my new pressure canner to can some pork beef and chicken. Knowledge is armor for the cautious. Thank you.
It is mostly temperature and affected by time. So if you are at a higher elevation merely boiling for 10 minutes could be insufficient. If a can or jar has any signs DO NOT USE IT boiled or otherwise
Botulism is no joke. There is so much rebel canning such as bread or soups with pasta, for example, on youtube that it is scary. I'm really surprised that we have not heard of any instances of people following these practices becoming ill. Thank you so much for your research and for spreading this important information.
You are very welcome. While I am very grateful there are not more cases, it continues to be important to practice safe canning methods. Thanks for your comments.
@@gmwwc it's not that it isn't safe, but it's more of a "try at your own risk" thing. Approved canning recipes are the ones that have been researched on, there's not enough research on the others so we're just told "not recommended".
Oddly, in the UK where pressure canners are virtually unknown, all canning is water bath or open kettle, and yet they have had very very little Botulism, 62 cases in 83 years. Most botulism in the United States is from wounds. Commercial Canned and restraunt foods account for a share of the cases. So about 1 case in well over 12 million. I'm not saying there isn't a risk. I'm saying do your due diligence, learn what causes the botulinum organism to grow, and where it comes from. "Not approved" does not equate to "you will die from this."
I have wanted to can my home grown produce for 5-6 years now. I was always afraid to go ahead, I was afraid I may make my family sick with botulism, now I feel I completely understand how to eliminate that threat. Thank you , I will now move forward toward my dreams of being able to store my home grown goods!!
Great Information For The Young Canner and The Canners like myself Who Have Been Canning For Decades. I Think Anything I can be Taught For The Safety of My Food “I’m In”. Thank You fir Taking Your Time To Help Us.
Oh my goodness! I watched this and immediately ordered a pressure canner! You have given me the confidence I needed to start canning. I have been wanting to for awhile but feared botulism and not knowing for sure if I did it right. Thank you so much!
It's called HOME EC.. the books used in the 59-60s were better than present curriculum used..also..Amish and Mennonite publishers have an excellent home study course on this.. they teach canning quantities from 4th grade up. Check out Christian light publication and Rod and Staff publishers..
@@homesteaderfiftywmartha603 I remember! But unfortunately, Home Ec. left when schools' budgets' were lowered and districts began to focus on STEM classes. Maybe schools should be encouraged to realize these life saving facts are Science and include them in the curriculum.
Great video! From one PhD to another, you nailed it. I have been canning, pressure canning, dehydrating and now freeze drying. Safe food saving is a must.
I’ve unsubscribed to all food preservation youtube presentations EXCEPT yours. You teach methods and teach us WHY. God bless you and I wish I had you teaching me science in school. 😊♥️🙏
I've heard so many people say the natural cooldown time is almost as, if not more, important as the actual canning time. I really enjoy this lesson and I feel like this should have been taught to me in high school in Home Ec. The Hows and Whys you cover are incredible to learn, and as much as I hated school as a child, this was super interesting ( I also loved biology more than any other subject in school). Thank you so much for putting this information out into the world. I realize this video is over a year old now, but I'm hoping you still come back to read all these comments about how much this has helped everyone. You truly are doing an amazing service. Thank you for all you do for us!
Hello Pam. New to your channel. When I married into a working farm, I saw my brother-in-law water bath canning green beans and took a fit! He said his mother always did that. I said, " No more"... and bought an All American pressure canner. It was a bit challenging starting out, but we got it down pat. So we either freeze or use the pressure canner according to guidelines. Now we have safe organic foods sitting on the shelves. So rewarding n these times. Thank you for this fine video ~ Diane
Superb video, really. You managed to bring together and clarify a lot of information and make it really interesting too! Thanks for all you do to provide such reliable and high quality content, you deserve to have a much bigger audience!
I thought this was a Martha Stewart type video, you are by far one of the most educated food science/ food safety experts I have ever encountered, from a food science background. I applaud you and I yield to you!
If I had professors like you when I was in college, I could have gone a lot farther in life! Your presentation is so interesting, I can't help but learn. I do have a question though. If a food is contaminated with botulism, will it get killed if the contents are put in the refrigerator? Exposed to oxygen? I guess the question is whether there is a way to kill the botulism toxin.
Such a great question. I should have included that info in the video. The toxin can be destroyed in your canned food in after you open the jar, you boil the contents for 10 minutes. The toxin is easy to destroy if you know or suspect it is there. You can't see, taste, or smell it, so I almost always boil my jar contents as an extra safety measure.
What a great video. When I bought my first pressure canner, I religiously followed the instructions that were in the booklet that came with it. Since 1972 when I first started canning until now (2022) -- 50 years -- I have had less than 5 jars that failed to seal and the bottom broke on only 2 jars. Because I can fish for the most part, and because I give a lot of the canned King and Sockeye Salmon to elderly people who couldn't afford the atrocious price in the stores, I am always particularly careful with cleanliness, time, temperature, and as you pointed out so clearly, the cooling time. I've never gotten sick, and I have never made anyone else sick. Moral of the story: follow instructions. They are there for a good reason.
I’ve come back to review this video lesson. It’s excellent. I started pressure canning September 2021. I love this video. And…it’s how she got her name “The Women With The Gadget”. Thank God for it, and Thank God for Pam who is an excellent Science Professor as well. Are we lucky or not to have you? Yes we are. Thank you Pam. It’s because of you, I’m a pressure canner today! 😃
I have watched this video twice so far. It is by far the most reassuring information I have seen. I have never home canned before because I grew up terrified of my mother's canner, so when I found out that the newer canners had safety mechanism to keep me from blowing up the kitchen, I gave it a try. This eliminates my second concern. You are one of the best teachers I have ever seen. I really loved that you gave the facts and figures for the kill zone. Thank you!
Thank you for providing such detailed information to help everyone understand the science behind things. Even though I’ve been canning for many years, I still want to learn everything about food safety. Thanks to you and Jim for the time you invest in these videos.
Excellent! Excellent explanation on safe home canning. I've been canning on my own (I helped my mother before getting my own place) since 1972 and never knew that the cool down was so health important. I always thought it was only to make sure the cans did not siphon. In another video you showed probability by putting one grain lf blue corn in with 99 yellow grains. I would not be willing to take the chance of pulling out that blue grain. I didn't think I needed to take your course on home canning. After watching this video, I have changed my mind. Thank you so very much for educating me!!!
I always think that your videos cannot get any better and I am always proven wrong. Another great video! I always watch for your new videos. I love your presentation skills and knowledge. Thank you
It’s so much easier for me personally to remember and apply new knowledge if I learn the why. You presented and explained this so thoroughly and I appreciate it very much. Thank you.
I will say i have been canning for a couple years now and I will say this video puts me at much more ease than every other canning video out there on the topics of C.B. toxin. Seeing the data points and knowing i have followed to a T the guide lines but still skeptical about it. You should work for the USDA as a home canning advocate and educator because you put 1000's of people at ease with this (especially us over thinkers).
I’m so grateful for you channel and teaching. Because of your teaching on food safety and what to look for, I was able to spot 3 different jars of food that had gone bad. We threw each jar containing the contents into the trash. Thanks again for teaching us what to look for.
Bravo! I wish I could have taken one of your classes; you are an AMAZING lecturer. This info is soooo important and you made it totally understandable--even for us non-STEM students (my major was cultural anthropology). Thank you for this important video 🤓
@@RoseRedHomestead if high temperature higher 120 deegres kill the spores. Why spores have survive on high temperature in oven? Baking temperature is 180-200 deegres.
@MarekCh00 First, who says those potatoes at the Greek restaurant WERE cooked at a high temperature? Many people have no idea why potatoes are baked at very high temps, and often don't do it! They don't bother taking the internal temp of the potato, either. I bake mine at 375-400°F for 1 hour. My mother, who was very food poisoning conscious, as was her mother (Depression era), took their food safety very seriously. They knew improperly cooked foods could kill a person.
Thank you so much for a very clear and simple explanation of the need for pressure canning. Your Time & Temperature Chart is excellent. Although I knew of the NEED for the process, I never had a really good understanding of the WHY. My only understanding until now was that "Because Mama said so!"
Thank you for another informative video. You’re so right, “knowledge is power”. I now have the confidence i needed to attempt to can some low acid foods. I’ll probably still be a nervous wreck, but I feel reassured that as long as I follow the instructions, I will do okay.
Thank you so so much for this most helpful information. Always at the back of my mind was concern for botulism. I have been canning for 40 years, but am new to pressure canning. Having the scientific information does take away my fears and wonderings. All of your videos are so well done, clear and informative. Again thank you, you are an excellent teacher!!
Thank you so much. I appreciate knowing about your canning experiences and being new to pressure canning. It is a whole new world, and with your knowledge replacing your fear of botulism, you are in a very good place. Thanks for sharing.
I love the information but the problem is that I am still afraid now that I learned about it. If we don’t have these things to kill it what other things can we use ???
Wow! Thank you so much! I’ve canned for 6-8 years then started canning meat last fall following the book but not understanding why I should do this or that but now I know! Now I understand. Thank you so much. Your explanation was precise, direct and fact filled. You are right, knowledge is power! I now have confidence in my canning! By the way, yesterday, I picked green beans and today I canned 20 quarts (3 total batches in 2 pressure canners) at 10 lbs for 30 minutes, even though I was told 25 minutes was enough. I then let them sit on the stove for 30-45 minutes before I touched them. I knew leaving them on the stove untouched for 30 minutes or more was important but I didn’t know why. Now I feel so empowered now understanding why. Thank you
Ive been on the fence, collecting supplies, but keep losing my nerve bc I am scared. This is exactly the type of video i needed to see!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! You are amazing!
Pam, this is excellent, simply excellent. I have read in the comments that you were a teacher for a while, and I think you must have been an excellent teacher! Well done! I want to get one of those data tracker things. What a great idea. In my research, I learned that the botulism disease is pretty horrible. I choose not to put myself in a position of re-learning how to swallow, talk, and control my bladder and colon. Another excellent video!
@@RoseRedHomestead I know. And yet there is this whole community of "rebel canners" that disregard any kind of safety. AND, worse yet (in my opinion), are the canning books out there written by individuals who have done zero research on the topic and publish recipes that have all kinds of problems. Example, another TH-camr used a recipe called "Humus in a Jar". It had garbanzo beans in it, no problem, and a bunch of sesame seeds - quite a lot of them. The author said that the 2 table spoons of lemon juice "acidified" the recipe and made it safe. The TH-camr contacted the NCFHFP and was told the recipe was unsafe and to toss her jars - which she did. But that book is still for sale, and people are still following the authors untested recipes. I get a cold shiver up my spine when I think of it. Because of the pandemic, there has been a surge in canning. All American has a 6 month waiting list for their pressure canners, Presto has a long wait as well. Frankly, I'm terrified. And that is why I appreciate your efforts. You have great skill. I am glad you are making these videos. The botulism disease is horrible. The toxin causes muscles to relax and become unresponsive - all muscles. And because the early symptoms mimic more common illnesses, it is not what doctors think of first, so they don't test for it. Why take the chance?
I have canned for Years and never knew why we did what. This has been a real eye opener! I absolutely learn something from every video y’all make and I am so very grateful for your info. Thank you.
Great tutorial , well explained . Knowing the growing conditions , and the different stages of the spores life cycle is the only way you can know how to disrupt that cycle, this was smartly laid out and explained giving people the information needed to have confidence in the canning process . Thanks for your expertise, and for sharing it with others .
This is THE BEST summary of information about botulism/canning safety I have ever seen. I have people in my life who are nonchalant about canning safety, thinking "Water bath canning is fine, my granny did it, etc..." I try to convince them pressure canning is worth the work for the sake of safety. This video should help convince them!
Excellent video! Thank you for the demonstration and the work that went into this. Each step in canning properly is so important and you just explained why so everyone could see it. You're the best!
Great video Pam. Much appreciate your desire to teach us the « how » and « why » . It is how I learn and retain information. You continue to break down information so it is digestible for the layman person like me. Thank you 🤗.
This is a very informative video. As we are canning and concerned about food safety, this is the info we need. The potato info was definitely an eye opener. Thank you
Thank you for providing another excellent video. I love the way you present the science behind the method in such a way to prevent causing fear. You don't just tell us how to do something, you explain the why! Knowledge *is power. That data logger is awesome!
Very nicely done Rose, laymans terms. This is what I call stomping out Botulism, Thank you I never realized baked potatoes were botulistic, I just cooked some in foil the other day and the leftovers I placed in the fridge still in the foil, I won't be doing that ever again and I will be passing your info along. Haste makes waste, in a hurry I didn't remove the foil. YOUR #1 you''ve saved my life
This was *SO* incredibly (though absolutely credible) informative, Rose! I’m SO grateful I watched this till the end. Can’t thank you enough for sharing this *lifesaving* scientific information. And the life experience! I can’t believe those people left potatoes out for DAYS and then made a meal with them to serve to the public! MindBlowing 🤯
A friend had raw honey for sale in her shop and a lady, who had a new baby , bought some of the raw honey. This customer had a husband who was a doctor and had her bring the honey back because of botulism! I now know why he didn’t want his baby eating any raw honey! Thank you for this valuable information and also explaining the foil baked potato! I never knew for sure if the scare was true or not so I never used foil!
Actually babies are not supposed to ingest raw honey or honey at all because their systems cannot digest it properly! That has nothing to do with botulism.
Pam, excellent presentation. Safe canning, food safety and nutrition is one of my primary passions. The science is essential. I often discuss water activity in addition to pressure with temperature - but the conversation becomes too complex for the listener… you “boiled” this down to such a great “digestible” content. Thank you! It is obvious you are a natural teacher. :-).
I held off on canning anthing for decades because of my fear of Botulism. When I was a girl there were a couple of botulism deaths from A&P tunafish. That was the beginning of my fear of botulism. I had been wanting to make homemade apple sauce so I began to read in the Ball book on canning about how I could do so and not be poisoned by Botulism toxin. I have since branched off into other canning recipes from the Ball book. I am still kind of fearful of it. But thank you so much for your presentation here. This video has helped me better understand exactly how I can eliminate the danger of Botulism.
Your explanation makes me feel a whole lot better about not having botulism in my jars!!! I follow the pressure, the timing and the cool down.Thank you😊👍🏻
Thank you so much for this interesting and timely video! Now that I am retired I have begun canning broths and meats and have found your canning videos so informative. With more people jumping on the food preservation bandwagon, videos like this are vital for safety.
I want to thank you for creating and sharing this video. Wonderfully put together and outshines all other sources I have turned to for information about botulism. You have given me the clarifications I have been wanting to feel more confident about my canning efforts. I have always followed guidelines, but always with a sense of unease at times when canning low acid foods no matter how careful I am. I find you absolutely lovely, thank you.
Same. I follow all directions so carefully but, being new to PC, I worry. This video has done a lot to ease my mind (I still worry tho). So thankful for her expertise.
You are wonderful. I am a gardener & started canning last year.I need to buy a pressure canner soon & am still afraid of explosions. This video has helped greatly knowing about botulism. Thank you so much.
Understanding the whys and how to are so very important. You are sharing what we need to understand in order to make safe canning choices. Now I won't get so impatient for my canner to cool down. Thank you so much.
I’m brand new at canning, about 2 weeks in and only 4 canning projects under my belt. All are pressure canning projects: chicken soup, French Onion Soup, Ground Hamburger, and Green Beans. I’ve poured myself into research before I began (knowing absolutely nothing) and used only tested recipes, etc. What I’ve been shocked to discover is the amazing number of rebel canners even in groups advertising themselves as “safe canning” groups. Some of these rebel members are downright militant and become angry at any suggestion that their projects or methods might not be safe. The attitude is numerous (such as canning milk) that I’m shocked, but unable to raise questions without someone becoming defensive or angry. This is so concerning to me that I now fear to accept any home-canned gifts or purchased home-canned products from souvenir shops. Thanks so much for your education! I planned to “can” butter until I saw your video about making ghee. I’m still learning, but your channel has quickly become my leading go-to platform on how to do any food storage preparation safely! …along with reading government sites about how-to canning.
The best most clear and precise explanation I’ve heard. You’ve helped to eliminate all fears I’ve had of botulism in home canned foods. Just brilliant and a must watch for all. Thank you!
Dear RoseRed, Thank you so much for sharing this. I (used to! )worry so much about botulism. I can't thank you enough because now I know my family and my one and only precious Grandson can eat my canned food with no worries. God Bless You And Yours
Thank you so much for such an informative video!! I was surprised to learn that years ago a restaurant or anyone would bake a potato wrapped in foil left on a counter for days, WOW!! I also had never heard of the data logger. I will be buying and fining as a gift this little gadget and sharing this very informative video!!!

Been canning for yrs., i learned from my Mother. I have never had an issue with botulism thus far. God is good.

I randomly clicked on this video and wasn't sure what to expect. This is a much more thorough explanation for canning than I have ever seen anywhere else online. Wonderful presentation, and thanks for the information!
This video has educated me on the content, but it also showed me how lacking my formal education was and how awful 90% of my teachers were.
This was tremendous, thank you for making this.
Thank you so much. My biggest fear is that in trying to secure food for my kids I'll end up killing them. I watch people do all kinds of questionable canning and it really makes me uneasy. The fact that you are educated and have decades of experience gives me such peace of mind. You don't cut corners and put theories to a test.
Zero Tolerance. Period. Keep learning, and keep canning= safely. ♥Best canning video ever produced, even for a dummy like me.
Pam, thank you for these videos regarding safe canning. With so many people new to canning, I fear for the newbies getting bad and dangerous information. We all want to provide good food for our families, but there is so much misleading information out there it’s almost criminal. Great video, thank you.
Thank you so much. I worry about that as well, which is why we are doing these videos.

Finding that boiling the canned food eliminate the toxins is the key to allow me the peace of mind to use my new pressure canner to can some pork beef and chicken. Knowledge is armor for the cautious. Thank you.
It is mostly temperature and affected by time. So if you are at a higher elevation merely boiling for 10 minutes could be insufficient.
If a can or jar has any signs DO NOT USE IT boiled or otherwise
Botulism is no joke. There is so much rebel canning such as bread or soups with pasta, for example, on youtube that it is scary. I'm really surprised that we have not heard of any instances of people following these practices becoming ill. Thank you so much for your research and for spreading this important information.
You are very welcome. While I am very grateful there are not more cases, it continues to be important to practice safe canning methods. Thanks for your comments.
Goodness, I wonder why that is???
@@gmwwc it's not that it isn't safe, but it's more of a "try at your own risk" thing. Approved canning recipes are the ones that have been researched on, there's not enough research on the others so we're just told "not recommended".
@@LilPoopsie exactly, and the most recent testing done by the NCFHFP was done in 1979. Actually Rose Red has done more research LATELY.
Oddly, in the UK where pressure canners are virtually unknown, all canning is water bath or open kettle, and yet they have had very very little Botulism, 62 cases in 83 years.
Most botulism in the United States is from wounds.
Commercial Canned and restraunt foods account for a share of the cases.
So about 1 case in well over 12 million.
I'm not saying there isn't a risk. I'm saying do your due diligence, learn what causes the botulinum organism to grow, and where it comes from. "Not approved" does not equate to "you will die from this."
this lady explains everything so perfectly and fluently like a college professor
She IS one 😊😊😅❤
About to say that we are so lucky❤
I have wanted to can my home grown produce for 5-6 years now. I was always afraid to go ahead, I was afraid I may make my family sick with botulism, now I feel I completely understand how to eliminate that threat. Thank you , I will now move forward toward my dreams of being able to store my home grown goods!!
You are very welcome and we feel fantastic that we were able to help you keep your family safe. Jim
Great Information For The Young Canner and The Canners like myself Who Have Been Canning For Decades. I Think Anything I can be Taught For The Safety of My Food “I’m In”. Thank You fir Taking Your Time To Help Us.
Our pleasure! Thanks for your comment.
Oh my goodness! I watched this and immediately ordered a pressure canner! You have given me the confidence I needed to start canning. I have been wanting to for awhile but feared botulism and not knowing for sure if I did it right. Thank you so much!
@Denise J curious why the laughing emoji?
Excellent! Thank you so much! You have caused me to be more cautious and confident at the same time. You are a Gem.
You are so welcome! It is fantastic you are being more careful.
I just started canning, thank you for sharing this information. The thought of making my family ill is so scary.
Would love to see a Food Safe course introduced into schools
So would I!
I would love to see canning/preserving/food safety class at the schools
It's called HOME EC.. the books used in the 59-60s were better than present curriculum used..also..Amish and Mennonite publishers have an excellent home study course on this.. they teach canning quantities from 4th grade up. Check out Christian light publication and Rod and Staff publishers..
@@homesteaderfiftywmartha603yes I also took home ec I just don't particularly remember anything about canning orr food safety .
@@homesteaderfiftywmartha603 I remember! But unfortunately, Home Ec. left when schools' budgets' were lowered and districts began to focus on STEM classes. Maybe schools should be encouraged to realize these life saving facts are Science and include them in the curriculum.
Great video! From one PhD to another, you nailed it. I have been canning, pressure canning, dehydrating and now freeze drying. Safe food saving is a must.
I’ve unsubscribed to all food preservation youtube presentations EXCEPT yours. You teach methods and teach us WHY. God bless you and I wish I had you teaching me science in school. 😊♥️🙏
Wow, thank you. I am very glad you want to be safe with your canning practice!
I've heard so many people say the natural cooldown time is almost as, if not more, important as the actual canning time. I really enjoy this lesson and I feel like this should have been taught to me in high school in Home Ec. The Hows and Whys you cover are incredible to learn, and as much as I hated school as a child, this was super interesting ( I also loved biology more than any other subject in school). Thank you so much for putting this information out into the world. I realize this video is over a year old now, but I'm hoping you still come back to read all these comments about how much this has helped everyone. You truly are doing an amazing service. Thank you for all you do for us!
Wow, great information. I feel like I'm getting a free education when you share your videos. Thanks again for keeping us safely canning.
So nice of you! Thanks for watching.
Hello Pam. New to your channel. When I married into a working farm, I saw my brother-in-law water bath canning green beans and took a fit! He said his mother always did that. I said, " No more"... and bought an All American pressure canner. It was a bit challenging starting out, but we got it down pat. So we either freeze or use the pressure canner according to guidelines. Now we have safe organic foods sitting on the shelves. So rewarding n these times. Thank you for this fine video ~ Diane
You are such an excellent teacher, and funny too.
♥️🇨🇦
Thank you! 😃
Thank you. Spores - toxin. I didn't catch that when I read the discreption.
Good video! I'm sharing this. Thank you lovely Lady!
Blessings
Superb video, really. You managed to bring together and clarify a lot of information and make it really interesting too! Thanks for all you do to provide such reliable and high quality content, you deserve to have a much bigger audience!
So nice of you! Thanks for your comments.
I thought this was a Martha Stewart type video, you are by far one of the most educated food science/ food safety experts I have ever encountered, from a food science background. I applaud you and I yield to you!
Thank you for your very kind words. Jim
If I had professors like you when I was in college, I could have gone a lot farther in life! Your presentation is so interesting, I can't help but learn. I do have a question though. If a food is contaminated with botulism, will it get killed if the contents are put in the refrigerator? Exposed to oxygen? I guess the question is whether there is a way to kill the botulism toxin.
Such a great question. I should have included that info in the video. The toxin can be destroyed in your canned food in after you open the jar, you boil the contents for 10 minutes. The toxin is easy to destroy if you know or suspect it is there. You can't see, taste, or smell it, so I almost always boil my jar contents as an extra safety measure.
Great question. WONDERFUL, informative answer. Learned something!
@@RoseRedHomestead great info! You are such a great educator! Question - I can see boiling liquid but what about home canned meat?
@@RoseRedHomestead do you mean when you open a canned jar you boil the contents before eating? And if so how long?
@@annmarie3520 it states oil for 10 minutes, in her comment right above
What a great video. When I bought my first pressure canner, I religiously followed the instructions that were in the booklet that came with it. Since 1972 when I first started canning until now (2022) -- 50 years -- I have had less than 5 jars that failed to seal and the bottom broke on only 2 jars. Because I can fish for the most part, and because I give a lot of the canned King and Sockeye Salmon to elderly people who couldn't afford the atrocious price in the stores, I am always particularly careful with cleanliness, time, temperature, and as you pointed out so clearly, the cooling time. I've never gotten sick, and I have never made anyone else sick. Moral of the story: follow instructions. They are there for a good reason.
I’ve come back to review this video lesson. It’s excellent. I started pressure canning September 2021. I love this video. And…it’s how she got her name “The Women With The Gadget”. Thank God for it, and Thank God for Pam who is an excellent Science Professor as well. Are we lucky or not to have you? Yes we are. Thank you Pam. It’s because of you, I’m a pressure canner today! 😃
You always explain things so clear and concise. I just want you to know how much I appreciate you.
Thank you so much for this timeless information. Canning is really an attractive preservation method but safety is my biggest concern.
Yes, ours, too. Jim
I have watched this video twice so far. It is by far the most reassuring information I have seen. I have never home canned before because I grew up terrified of my mother's canner, so when I found out that the newer canners had safety mechanism to keep me from blowing up the kitchen, I gave it a try. This eliminates my second concern. You are one of the best teachers I have ever seen. I really loved that you gave the facts and figures for the kill zone. Thank you!
Who knows how many lives you have saved making this video. Thank you!
Thank you for providing such detailed information to help everyone understand the science behind things. Even though I’ve been canning for many years, I still want to learn everything about food safety. Thanks to you and Jim for the time you invest in these videos.
Excellent! Excellent explanation on safe home canning. I've been canning on my own (I helped my mother before getting my own place) since 1972 and never knew that the cool down was so health important. I always thought it was only to make sure the cans did not siphon.
In another video you showed probability by putting one grain lf blue corn in with 99 yellow grains. I would not be willing to take the chance of pulling out that blue grain.
I didn't think I needed to take your course on home canning. After watching this video, I have changed my mind. Thank you so very much for educating me!!!
I always think that your videos cannot get any better and I am always proven wrong. Another great video! I always watch for your new videos. I love your presentation skills and knowledge. Thank you
Wow, thank you! So glad you like them.
It’s so much easier for me personally to remember and apply new knowledge if I learn the why. You presented and explained this so thoroughly and I appreciate it very much. Thank you.
Masterly! I've taken notes and everything. This is how I view your videos. How to go to a professional course. Love it!
Wow, thanks!
Best video I’ve seen on canning safety. I’ve been so afraid to because of botulism. This new knowledge has made me more comfortable. Thank you!
PrincessGemz: You are so welcome! Jim
I will say i have been canning for a couple years now and I will say this video puts me at much more ease than every other canning video out there on the topics of C.B. toxin. Seeing the data points and knowing i have followed to a T the guide lines but still skeptical about it. You should work for the USDA as a home canning advocate and educator because you put 1000's of people at ease with this (especially us over thinkers).
Thank you for your kind words. So glad to hear you are a safe canner!
I’m so grateful for you channel and teaching. Because of your teaching on food safety and what to look for, I was able to spot 3 different jars of food that had gone bad. We threw each jar containing the contents into the trash. Thanks again for teaching us what to look for.
Bravo! I wish I could have taken one of your classes; you are an AMAZING lecturer. This info is soooo important and you made it totally understandable--even for us non-STEM students (my major was cultural anthropology). Thank you for this important video 🤓
Wow, thank you! We appreciate that. Cultural anthropology is a great major--Jim has also taught courses in that discipline and he loves it as well!
@@RoseRedHomestead if high temperature higher 120 deegres kill the spores. Why spores have survive on high temperature in oven? Baking temperature is 180-200 deegres.
@MarekCh00
First, who says those potatoes at the Greek restaurant WERE cooked at a high temperature? Many people have no idea why potatoes are baked at very high temps, and often don't do it! They don't bother taking the internal temp of the potato, either. I bake mine at 375-400°F for 1 hour. My mother, who was very food poisoning conscious, as was her mother (Depression era), took their food safety very seriously. They knew improperly cooked foods could kill a person.
Thank you so much for a very clear and simple explanation of the need for pressure canning. Your Time & Temperature Chart is excellent. Although I knew of the NEED for the process, I never had a really good understanding of the WHY. My only understanding until now was that "Because Mama said so!"
Thank you for another informative video. You’re so right, “knowledge is power”. I now have the confidence i needed to attempt to can some low acid foods. I’ll probably still be a nervous wreck, but I feel reassured that as long as I follow the instructions, I will do okay.
You absolutely will be OK. You can do it!
Thank you for all info. Very informative
Thank you so so much for this most helpful information. Always at the back of my mind was concern for botulism. I have been canning for 40 years, but am new to pressure canning. Having the scientific information does take away my fears and wonderings. All of your videos are so well done, clear and informative. Again thank you, you are an excellent teacher!!
Thank you so much. I appreciate knowing about your canning experiences and being new to pressure canning. It is a whole new world, and with your knowledge replacing your fear of botulism, you are in a very good place. Thanks for sharing.
I love the information but the problem is that I am still afraid now that I learned about it. If we don’t have these things to kill it what other things can we use ???
Wow! Thank you so much! I’ve canned for 6-8 years then started canning meat last fall following the book but not understanding why I should do this or that but now I know! Now I understand. Thank you so much. Your explanation was precise, direct and fact filled. You are right, knowledge is power! I now have confidence in my canning! By the way, yesterday, I picked green beans and today I canned 20 quarts (3 total batches in 2 pressure canners) at 10 lbs for 30 minutes, even though I was told 25 minutes was enough. I then let them sit on the stove for 30-45 minutes before I touched them. I knew leaving them on the stove untouched for 30 minutes or more was important but I didn’t know why. Now I feel so empowered now understanding why. Thank you
You are excellent at teaching canning . I just love your videos, they are full of knowledge
Thank you so much!
Ive been on the fence, collecting supplies, but keep losing my nerve bc I am scared. This is exactly the type of video i needed to see!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! You are amazing!
Kerry: Glad I could help! Jim
You can do it! I’m learning as well and would of never imagined all this information even existed
Pam, this is excellent, simply excellent. I have read in the comments that you were a teacher for a while, and I think you must have been an excellent teacher! Well done! I want to get one of those data tracker things. What a great idea.
In my research, I learned that the botulism disease is pretty horrible. I choose not to put myself in a position of re-learning how to swallow, talk, and control my bladder and colon.
Another excellent video!
Thank you. I don't like to even think about the symptoms of botulism illness--so scary!
@@RoseRedHomestead I know. And yet there is this whole community of "rebel canners" that disregard any kind of safety. AND, worse yet (in my opinion), are the canning books out there written by individuals who have done zero research on the topic and publish recipes that have all kinds of problems. Example, another TH-camr used a recipe called "Humus in a Jar". It had garbanzo beans in it, no problem, and a bunch of sesame seeds - quite a lot of them. The author said that the 2 table spoons of lemon juice "acidified" the recipe and made it safe. The TH-camr contacted the NCFHFP and was told the recipe was unsafe and to toss her jars - which she did. But that book is still for sale, and people are still following the authors untested recipes. I get a cold shiver up my spine when I think of it. Because of the pandemic, there has been a surge in canning. All American has a 6 month waiting list for their pressure canners, Presto has a long wait as well. Frankly, I'm terrified. And that is why I appreciate your efforts. You have great skill. I am glad you are making these videos. The botulism disease is horrible. The toxin causes muscles to relax and become unresponsive - all muscles. And because the early symptoms mimic more common illnesses, it is not what doctors think of first, so they don't test for it. Why take the chance?
@@thehadster7043 Oh my--what a story. Thanks for sharing your ideas. So scary.
I have canned for Years and never knew why we did what. This has been a real eye opener! I absolutely learn something from every video y’all make and I am so very grateful for your info. Thank you.
Excellent presentation explaining and demonstrating the facts in a very clear and easy to understand manner.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Total respect for your data collection and utilization :o)
Great tutorial , well explained . Knowing the growing conditions , and the different stages of the spores life cycle is the only way you can know how to disrupt that cycle, this was smartly laid out and explained giving people the information needed to have confidence in the canning process .
Thanks for your expertise, and for sharing it with others .
You are welcome. Thanks to the USDA we now know all that about the botulism bacteria. Thanks for your comments.
This is THE BEST summary of information about botulism/canning safety I have ever seen. I have people in my life who are nonchalant about canning safety, thinking "Water bath canning is fine, my granny did it, etc..." I try to convince them pressure canning is worth the work for the sake of safety. This video should help convince them!
Very, very helpful. Thank you once again for explaining this process. I appreciate your vast knowledge.
You are very welcome. Thank you so much for watching.
Rose you are awesome! I wish I had you in home economics classes ,you are a great teacher thank you
Wonderfully presented. Thank you
Wow. Thank You for all this important info.
Excellent video! Thank you for the demonstration and the work that went into this. Each step in canning properly is so important and you just explained why so everyone could see it. You're the best!
Thank you so much. Glad it was helpful.
This fine and wonderful lady saves lives.
Thank you for sharing your information with me. I’m a fairly new canner and follow the Ball and national food safety to a tee. It’s nice to know why.
Wonderful! Good for you!
Thank God for you Pam. i keep watching your video over and over to make sure I am doing things right.
Mickey: Thanks! Jim
Great video Pam. Much appreciate your desire to teach us the « how » and « why » . It is how I learn and retain information. You continue to break down information so it is digestible for the layman person like me. Thank you 🤗.
This is a very informative video. As we are canning and concerned about food safety, this is the info we need. The potato info was definitely an eye opener. Thank you
Thank you for providing another excellent video. I love the way you present the science behind the method in such a way to prevent causing fear. You don't just tell us how to do something, you explain the why! Knowledge *is power. That data logger is awesome!
Thank you! Yes, I love that logger and I use it quite often to double check my safety practices! Thanks for your comments.
Very nicely done Rose, laymans terms. This is what I call stomping out Botulism, Thank you I never realized baked potatoes were botulistic, I just cooked some in foil the other day and the leftovers I placed in the fridge still in the foil, I won't be doing that ever again and I will be passing your info along. Haste makes waste, in a hurry I didn't remove the foil. YOUR #1 you''ve saved my life
This was *SO* incredibly (though absolutely credible) informative, Rose!
I’m SO grateful I watched this till the end. Can’t thank you enough for sharing this *lifesaving* scientific information.
And the life experience! I can’t believe those people left potatoes out for DAYS and then made a meal with them to serve to the public!
MindBlowing 🤯
Excellent and clear Ms. RoseRed! I will start canning for the first time this summer. I feel safer that I came across this video.
A friend had raw honey for sale in her shop and a lady, who had a new baby , bought some of the raw honey. This customer had a husband who was a doctor and had her bring the honey back because of botulism! I now know why he didn’t want his baby eating any raw honey! Thank you for this valuable information and also explaining the foil baked potato! I never knew for sure if the scare was true or not so I never used foil!
Actually babies are not supposed to ingest raw honey or honey at all because their systems cannot digest it properly! That has nothing to do with botulism.
You are Amazingly Smart Ms. Rose.....thank you for sharing
Patricia: You are so welcome. Jim
Pam, excellent presentation. Safe canning, food safety and nutrition is one of my primary passions. The science is essential. I often discuss water activity in addition to pressure with temperature - but the conversation becomes too complex for the listener… you “boiled” this down to such a great “digestible” content. Thank you! It is obvious you are a natural teacher. :-).
Thank you so much!
I held off on canning anthing for decades because of my fear of Botulism. When I was a girl there were a couple of botulism deaths from A&P tunafish. That was the beginning of my fear of botulism. I had been wanting to make homemade apple sauce so I began to read in the Ball book on canning about how I could do so and not be poisoned by Botulism toxin. I have since branched off into other canning recipes from the Ball book. I am still kind of fearful of it. But thank you so much for your presentation here.
This video has helped me better understand exactly how I can eliminate the danger of Botulism.
I love the clear and concise way you teach! Thank you so much for thoroughly answering all my questions about Botulism in all it's stages!
IaMmeMilly: Thanks for watching our videos. Jim
I can tell you're quite passionate about the subject of annihilating botulism 😊 Thank you for your expertise. I enjoyed listening to you.
Yes I am. Thanks for watching.
The USDA needs to hire you.
THIS IS WHY HOME-EC CLASSES SHOULD BE MANDATORY IN SCHOOL!! Amazing info!!! Thank you for explaining this so well!
Your explanation makes me feel a whole lot better about not having botulism in my jars!!! I follow the pressure, the timing and the cool down.Thank you😊👍🏻
This lady is incredible! Love her channel ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for this interesting and timely video! Now that I am retired I have begun canning broths and meats and have found your canning videos so informative. With more people jumping on the food preservation bandwagon, videos like this are vital for safety.
The comment just before, regarding learning the most in 24 minutes, I completely agree with. Thank you soooooo much!!
You are very welcome. We are so glad this video was useful for you. Thanks for your comment.
I want to thank you for creating and sharing this video. Wonderfully put together and outshines all other sources I have turned to for information about botulism. You have given me the clarifications I have been wanting to feel more confident about my canning efforts. I have always followed guidelines, but always with a sense of unease at times when canning low acid foods no matter how careful I am. I find you absolutely lovely, thank you.
Thank you so much and I am so glad our videos have been useful for you.
Same. I follow all directions so carefully but, being new to PC, I worry. This video has done a lot to ease my mind (I still worry tho). So thankful for her expertise.
You are wonderful. I am a gardener & started canning last year.I need to buy a pressure canner soon & am still afraid of explosions. This video has helped greatly knowing about botulism. Thank you so much.
This video is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!! Science for the win!!
Thanks! So glad it was useful for you!
Understanding the whys and how to are so very important. You are sharing what we need to understand in order to make safe canning choices. Now I won't get so impatient for my canner to cool down. Thank you so much.
I’m brand new at canning, about 2 weeks in and only 4 canning projects under my belt. All are pressure canning projects: chicken soup, French Onion Soup, Ground Hamburger, and Green Beans. I’ve poured myself into research before I began (knowing absolutely nothing) and used only tested recipes, etc.
What I’ve been shocked to discover is the amazing number of rebel canners even in groups advertising themselves as “safe canning” groups. Some of these rebel members are downright militant and become angry at any suggestion that their projects or methods might not be safe. The attitude is numerous (such as canning milk) that I’m shocked, but unable to raise questions without someone becoming defensive or angry.
This is so concerning to me that I now fear to accept any home-canned gifts or purchased home-canned products from souvenir shops.
Thanks so much for your education! I planned to “can” butter until I saw your video about making ghee. I’m still learning, but your channel has quickly become my leading go-to platform on how to do any food storage preparation safely! …along with reading government sites about how-to canning.
This women deserves a special place in heaven. I learn so much every time I listen to her. She should have 1M followers
The best most clear and precise explanation I’ve heard. You’ve helped to eliminate all fears I’ve had of botulism in home canned foods. Just brilliant and a must watch for all. Thank you!
Dear RoseRed, Thank you so much for sharing this. I (used to! )worry so much about botulism. I can't thank you enough because now I know my family and my one and only precious Grandson can eat my canned food with no worries.
God Bless You And Yours
Chris: You are so welcome! Jim
Very well done. I learned a lot from you today Pam. Thanks.
Thank you for watching.
Thank you so much for such an informative video!! I was surprised to learn that years ago a restaurant or anyone would bake a potato wrapped in foil left on a counter for days, WOW!! I also had never heard of the data logger. I will be buying and fining as a gift this little gadget and sharing this very informative video!!!
I appreciate your knowledge so much ! Thanks for keeping us safe.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
She is an amazing course of knowledge and am so grateful she is on TH-cam and I found her channel !! 🙏💯👏♥️
Thanks for your kind words. Jim
