25 Responses to Canning Corned Beef: Pressure Canning Corned Beef for Food Storage
just wanted to point out that redipping the paper towel into the lid water
can foul your lids with product debri and contaminate your lids if they are
not still hot hot
WARNING!!! aluminum and clorine bleach DO NOT go together!! the aluminum
will get very hot and smoke hazardous fumes!! this is a very dangerous
thing and should not be done my anyone!!
i like food grade disposable gloves that are NSF approved !! its worth the
extra money to get some of them!! I always wear gloves when handling food!!
and always wash my hands for a minimum of 20 seconds with soap or detergent
and rinse well with hot water as hot as i can stand it, and always use
disposable paper towel, never cloth!! then use hand sanitizer, which is NOT
a replacement for washing your hand!! remember that!! always wash your
hands before starting any thing in the kitchen!
Have to disagree with you on one point. I can corned beef WITH the fat.
WHY? Well there is a lot of flavour in the fat that enhances the flavour of
the meat. Then when I open a jar, I skim off the fat and put it into the
pot with the cabbage which again enhances the flavour of the cabbage. My
dad was an MD and he encouraged eating some beef fat with the beef. Well I
do and have nearly perfect cholesterol. Just my opinion.
Thanks for taking time to do these great videos ( 8. How long will it
shelve for? do all meats have the same shelve life?

You have to have a pressure gauge unfortunately! There is no other real way
of knowing the pounds of pressure you are cooking with! Too many chances of
making yourself sick! About $80.00 on Amazon and you can have one!

Thank you so much for this video. Iʻve only heard of people using a
pressure cooker to can with, but Iʻve never seen someone do it…especially
as well and informative as you! 😀 Just a quick question though… I have a
pressure cooker, but it doesnʻt have “weights”, it just has a valve cover
that will vent AND pressurize–does that make sense? Is there a way to
measure the pressure in there? (I know…stupid question, but the booklet
only discusses how long to pressure cook, not the weight.)

I canned 14 lbs. of corned beef yesterday, and it came out SO good! I
didn’t add any extra salt, since the beef is already salty and it won’t
cook out in the jars like it would if it was cooked in water. I’m *really*
glad I didn’t add the salt. I opened one of the jars for dinner last night,
and it was on the edge of being too salty. Just a heads-up. I ended up with
10 pints, and 5 half-pints, with about 1.3 lbs. of waste from fat. Thanks
for the instructions!

I was actually thinking of doing this as the Corned Beef was on sale this
week. I was thinking of slicing so I could make it into Ruebens throughout
the year.
If SHTF, this woman will have managed to provide damned good provisions to
feed DHS goons who have the legal authority to seize her livestock, food,
guns, fuel, water. In fact, given the fact she is admitting to long storage
of food, she is legally classified as a “home-grown’ threat to national
security.
pickling spices for cucumbers makes an awesome replacement for those spice
packages. the general rule of thumb is that you can fit a pound of cubed
meats into a pint jar. I would expect to fit 2 pounds into a quart. But you
trimmed these before cubing so a pound might have been discarded or shifted
to the stew pot. I watched that video already 🙂
I really need to get going, thanks for posting i know how much work it is
let alone filming it.

I have done this for years. I put my oven at 225* and by the time I have to
fill my jars my meat is generally close to room temperature! I also only
use the Ball or Kerr jars. Blessings

I do not think you have to see it. Once it starts venting is when. Set my
timer for 10 min. You should be able to feel air coming out though! I have
a friend that I canned tomatoes with last summer and she didn’t know you
needed to vent it! She has been canning for years! It just one of those
things it is best to follow the guidelines! I think more than anything it
is the time and pounds of pressure that is really important! The more you
can the more t will become second nature to you! Blessings

I love salt, too! I have an ‘exotic’ salt collection, including fleur de
sel from France, black and red salts from Hawaii, Celtic salt, and of
course, Himalayan Pink. I’ve been known to shake it into, and lick it
directly from the palm of my hand! LOL When I get a craving, it’s never for
chocolate or sweets, it’s for salty, crunchy things. That said, I’m still
glad I left it out of the corned beef. 😉
