@NailsByAngelina if they contain meats they need to be a pressure cooker, water baths are good for high acid canning such as tomato sauces, salsa, jams and jellies.

@NailsByAngelina anything with meat in it has to be pressure canned.

I don’t mean this in a bad way, but the guy here vaguely reminds me of Dwight Schrood from the office. I still love the vids just something I noticed. I think almost everyone acts odd on camera sometimes…..

This is an awesome video! Canning complete meals is far more nutritionally sound than just opening a can of green beans. If you were to make to a meal out of cans of individual food you would more than likely have leftovers that you might not be able to preserve in a SHTF situation. Canned good last a couple of years on the shelf. If you want something more long term as well, you can get slow dehydrated complete meals ,flushed with co2 and in mylar from 4longevity.myefoods.com Happy Prepping!

ok, guess i spoke to soon. ๐ my bad. i was not aware that altitude made such a difference in how long/what temp/ pressure to cook this. you just never really think of these things if you’ve lived somewhere for years. i will be checking your website out. pressure cookers have always scared me a bit, but in this day and age? i think canning is the healthiest way to go. buy in season cheap/grow it & can it. TY! and my apologies if i was rude in my previous comment.

@rodbo i wholeheartedly agree. my daughter and son were cooking full meals for the family by the time they were 9 yrs old & i don’t mean microwaved crap!! we don’t even own a microwave! i mean cook from scratch! they know how to clean, sew, & hunt. canning is next on my “to teach them” list!! people just don’t realize how close to the caves we are. we’re to distracted with our coll tech gadgets & what not. IF i could afford it i would be canning food by next week!!

I haven’t done any serious canning for over 25 yrs. Went out today and bought a new canner. I soon realized my memory was in as bad of shape as my old canners! Thanks for the very informative video!

I seriously said “wtf” out loud when I saw the orange juice ๐ never heard of that. My chili recipe is quite a bit different and I want to start canning it so I can have it any time. How long will the chili keep after you can it? Thanks for the vid!

Thanks

@emerson24 Its not the time that is affected by altitude, its the pressure. You add 1 lb of pressure for every thousand feet above sea level. Many foods do not have to be cooked all the way through before you can. For instance…I have 4 chickens (freshly butchered from the backyard) in a pot ready for canning. I cooked it about 2/3rds of the way through. It will finish cooking in the canner. Im at close to 1700 feet in elevation so Ill cook my chickens for 1 and a half hours at 11 lbs. Cheers!

Does anyone know the answer to this question: The altitude may add one minute to your processing time. Does a minute really make much difference considering that you are already letting it sit until the pressure comes down? In addition, you must tinker with the temp to get it just right which ultimately you windup exceeding the rec. pressure anyhow which really should lessen the cook time as this increases temp. Also, if you cook it to where it’s ready to eat, doesn’t canning over cook it?
