Sorry, new to canning, what is the reason you added vinegar to the canning water? Is that something that is to be done when canning only potatoes. enjoy your video very educational, Thank you for sharing your skills.

The vinegar in the canning water prevents the minerals in the water depositing on the outside of your jars and so prevents "cloudy" jars!

Questions does canning those like that does it make them soft and how do you use the Luke that for fruing like fries or fryed potatoes I'm certainly Gina try that.

@HerHomesteadSkills 3 года назад

Sara Rick, when you can potatoes you are cooking them. The larger chunks are sturdier so when you can french fries, because of the thickness they are more delicate so the least amount of handling during removal from the jars and during the frying process is recommended...Once they have toasted up after frying....they are as firm as any french fry.

@Drea_316 4 года назад

I received a blessing of 150 pounds of potatoes. I have a lot to process still! I love dehydrating mine. I got a pressure canner last week so did my first try at canning cubed potatoes.

Hi Tony. I have a question…I just finished 7 quarts of Russet Potatoes last night. They all sealed! Yay for me b/c I always have a failure. But….25% of my water siphoned. This is my problem!! What am I doing wrong? I was hot jars, hot canner. I raised slow, came down slow. I waited 5 mins after taking the weighted topper off the vent. I waited 5 min after that & cock the lid, then a few mins after that to remove the lid. Maybe I should wait to remove the lid when it’s Completely cooled off? Idk….but I always siphon! And I guess these are Ok to eat? They are all sealed. Oh…I use a Presto-23. I love it……what’s your opinion? I’m about 3 months into canning…..going on four…..Thank you.

@HerHomesteadSkills 2 года назад

Cbass...Your not doing anything wrong, and the contents are ok to eat if they all sealed..What causes the jars to siphon is extreme temperature changes..What I do is just crack the lid open after all the pressure has been released, and let the temperature come down slowly...5 to 10 minutes may not be enough... sometimes 30 to 60 minutes works better.

@@trudybarton151 Yes. There is a fine line between taking the lid off too soon or trying to force the de-pressurization. I never force it. I wait until the pressure is at zero before even trying to take the lid off. Takes about 30 minutes. Also they say never to leave the contents inside the pressure canner unopened overnight.

You have to have a pressure canner for low acid foods or it isn’t safe. Potatoes are low acid. You can find a smaller pressure canner at Walmart orA azo .

@puggirl415 2 года назад

There are many different pressure canners out there. I started with pressure canning and never purchased any water bath canning set up. You can water bath can in your pressure canner with the lid off, so you really don't need both types. Pressure canning allows you to can so many things. Water bath is really only good for acidified foods like pickles and sugar preserved foods, like fruit and jelly. Check craigslist for pressure canners for sale. I got 2 of mine that way. I got a tiny 4 quart All American pressure canner for 75$ (perfect for canning leftovers or small batches) and a 921 sized All American for 125.00. (holds 19 pints and 7 quarts) I like All American because there are no gaskets to purchase. Ever. And if you break any parts on your canner the All American company has excellent customer service and parts. I was able to replace a melted gauge and a melted rubber stopper. They helped me every step of the way. Other canners are cheaper but they need those gaskets regularly and are made of much more lightweight materials.

@creinicke1000 2 года назад

What is your opinion about electric canners that are programmed to can jars.. ( need to have the altitude , time, temp amounts put into the program) VS the canner on the stove where you have to watch the time and pressure. I use to have a canner.. I has a burn accident with it..( my fault) so I was afraid of it and gave it away to someone who really appreciated it when we moved. But now I'd like to try canning again. I have a smaller ( quarts only) Instapot Max that's supposed to be able to can. I'm working up my courage.. But to do larger amounts or larger jars I'd need a larger canner.. I'd like something safe.. so this is why I'm asking.

@HerHomesteadSkills 2 года назад

C Reinicke ....I have no opinion as I have never used an electric pressure canner for canning Jars...I believe that RoseRed has tested out a number of models of electric Canners..and it might be best to ask her or review her videos on the subject.

@momsmanykards364 2 года назад

Rosered Homestead reviewed several electric canners using actual temp. studies with some measuring probe in the jars to test if they hit the kill zone for save canning. She recommended the Nesco 9.5 quart to be the safest. She’s on RU-vid and has lots of great canning information.

@puggirl415 2 года назад

Honestly not sure if the instant pot can really pressure can safely. Since it doesn't have a regulator gauge I wonder how you would know if it is at the right pressure? I suppose if it has advanced temperature monitoring it could only get to the right temperature (240º-250º) if it was pressurized correctly. Still please do some research from experts if this electric canner will safely pressure can.

@puggirl415 2 года назад

That's a nice little efficiency with the bowl of vinegar. I usually just pour some vinegar right on my paper towel and use it. Then I add a little citric acid to my pressure canner to keep the hard water stains off my jars and lids. I like the idea of pouring the vinegar into a bowl and then pouring what's left into the canner. No contamination no waste. Very nice. I guess these were a waxy potato to be able to take extra cooking time and not disintegrate like russets tend to do.

@HerHomesteadSkills 2 года назад

Yes, waxy types are best for canning...

For how long did you cook them ? Potatoes in the canner ? For French fries potatoes

@HerHomesteadSkills 3 года назад

Julie Ramirez...If you are asking how long did I "pressure can" the potatoes/frenchfriescut. Processing time is 40 minutes for quarts.

How long will they last canning them

@HerHomesteadSkills 4 года назад

Accepted wisdom says 3 to 5 years if the seal is good. Personally I like to have an 18 month supply of stuff I cannot grow/buy every day. I'm not a fan of having old food on the shelves....picky eater!!!! :-)

Do you know from your experience why half the jar of water came out and are they safe? The jars sealed. Thanks for any feedback. Thanks for your videos love watching them.

@HerHomesteadSkills 2 года назад

amy m...It happens to all of us sometimes...Ok...If you have a good seal, it is safe. Why? there could be number of reasons...Trapped air that you didn't remove before hand, some RAW vegetables and fruits contain a lot of air...that is part of the reason HOT PACK is recommended in some cases...siphoning...due to extreme temperature changes..some say to leave in the jars in the canner for 5 to 10 minutes after processing to cool down a bit more...I may leave them even longer than that.

@violetta142 2 года назад

Are you debubbling to get bubbles out of water and putting more water in if needed to reach headspace before you put lids on? That can cause you to loose water

@HerHomesteadSkills 3 года назад

craftynana...if you google french fry cutter, you will find that Amazon sells multiple versions of this cutter under different brand names..mine is a Kuraidori it seems that everyone makes this cutter under different names...If I was processing large amounts of fries, I would buy a sturdier, more professional model.

Were your potatoes russet or something else?

@HerHomesteadSkills 2 года назад

something else...russet are very starchy..actually great for fries, not so great for canning..compromise by using a waxy rather than starchy type...red, gold or white..I use white and I submerge in water and rinse well during the prep process...that helps to remove surface starch!

what does adding vinegar to the water in the canner do?

It prevents the minerals in the water from sticking to your mason jars and making them cloudy.

@jaysbaby2012 Год назад

I'm going to be doing this today..... Only difference I will be doing is using wide mouth jars because I bought baking potatoes, they're longer and a wide mouth jar will make it easier getting them out, and I am going to use a little pickle crisp to help keep them solid too.... I noticed you twisted your lids on pretty good, I was always under the impression that you're only supposed to tighten them down finger tight and you may have in your own way lol...... Great video, thank you so much for sharing, I'll also be checking out the other video you made cooking them... I'm excited.

@HerHomesteadSkills Год назад

Yes, I believe I recommended using the wide mouth for easier removal too. I don't really twist the lids on firmly, I just make sure I hit the sweet spot, where there is some contact.

@HerHomesteadSkills 2 года назад

Jessica Bailey...the vinegar in the canner (pressure or waterbath) prevents mineral buildup on the outside of your jars...if you don't add it...there is no harm just...cloudy rather than clear jars!
