I need to invest in like 4 large pots in order to can. Not a big deal, just a lot of pots!

there is no mention of taking the rings off, washing jars, and not to store your canned goods with the ring on.

Yes you can but back off on the detergent…new jars aren’t that dirty.
In using a boiling water bath it’s important to have clean, sterile jars. A trick I use is putting my washed jars in a 220deg F. oven while I’m busy doing other canning tasks. They are there for at least 30 minutes. I remove them just before I add the contents. In my case, when I am in full canning mode, I have a lot of jars in the oven. My 2 pressure canners hold 36 jars. I use these for tomatoes; much faster & no lemons.

Why use salt at all? When using the canned product in a recipe add salt at that time. Our diets typically have way too much sodium as it is, better control of it in the final dish is possible. The amount of salt used in this video is nuts. Salt is not used as a preservative here.
It doesn’t matter if you use regular table salt or sea salt. Most table salt contains iodide, a trace element essential for proper thyroid functioning (Google it). It only darkens the tomatoes a little bit over time.

No, the nutrients are just moved into the water. As long as you don’t throw the water away, you still get the nutrients.

On a serious note, canning and having a food storage is useful for any situation where you can’t just go to the grocery store such as losing your job.

Do not use regular table salt… Sea salt.

Can I wash my jars and rims in the dishwasher, rather than in hot soapy water, before canning?

you flatter me. it only took me 1 minute, but thanks. just to let you know, this is the internet, its where people who care about something can get some dialectic rolling, some debate/argument to reach a new understanding of things. its also a place littered with trolls who like to dump their negativity for all to see, i’m sure you don’t give a fuck, that’s what makes you “special”. peace

You hand tighten the jars before water bath or pressure cooker processing. It’s the heat from the processing that will seal the jar.

it stupid to hate a country or a nation, you can’t hate an imaginary thing – a social construct. u can hate american people, or american politicians/governments, or certain aspects of american culture.. its often wise to be clear about what u mean. as much as the ugly side to these aspects are common knowledge, it should also be acknowledged that certain aspects are inspiration for the world e.g. secularism, freedom of speech practices, multiculturalism etc. no need to stir hate.
