Among all videos,you explain pretty much nice,I stay in condo no garden 😕 I will purchase a presto and canned for sure by next summer,my parents used to do this manually. Great. Videos
I just received my 12qt Presto pressure canner and found your channel. Thank you for the video. It was very informative and you did a good step by step description. 😊
Thank you for this complete demonstration! Great job- I have never pressure canned,my 12 qt Presto Pressure canner is suppose to arrive tomorrow from Amazon. After watching your video I feel much more prepared to begin! 😀
I just got mine too. I was always afraid to try a canner but I made pinto beans today and it went great. I was scared to try canning but I figured if anyone else could do it I could too. Love your video!
I've been looking at this canner and it was nice to see a good demo of it. I might buy one eventually, but I'm not sure I would can enough to make the expense practical. Of course the reverse of that is that I don't can because I don't have the canner!
This video was a lifesaver!! My best friend and I followed your instructions to use her canner for the first time. Everything turned out perfectly. Thank you!!! 🎉
I have had my stove top pressure canner for 2 years, and still havent had the courage to use it. I am giving it to my daughter.. lol… I am in Australia, and am waiting for my Presto digital to arrive from the US. I cant wait. thanks so much for this great video. Perfect for beginners. I also wanted to mention that you have some great ideas, using a chopstick to debubble, and a mug to fill the jars with water-both great ideas. Thanks again
Awe you’re so welcome! I’m so exited for you to get the canner. Please let me know how you like it! There’s a very helpful fb group called “official presto precise digital canner” and it’s an amazing group and they answer questions quickly.
I love my Prsto Digital Canner!!!! I pour the hot water from my jars into a pot and use it to pour over the food after filling the jars. I can't stand wastng that much water. Also, if you will use a measuring cup to fill your jars you will have less spillage when adding liquid to your jars. I have canned over 400 jars just this summer!!! This canner is a game changer for me since I cannot handle the big stove top canners now!!! I really enjoyed your video!!!!!!!
I ordered & am waiting for mine to arrive. I have a Kohls card which they run specials ALL the time. With discounts I paid $212 but got $50 Kohls cash and $17 credit towards November. It’s deer season and I need to make room in the freezer so will be canning venison frozen from last year.
I just got a presto regular canner. I want the digital one. It looks so much more worth it. you did such a great job you convinced me. I want this, I will keep the other one as back up. Time for me to spoil myself for a change.
Thank you for sharing your video. We also own the same digital canner and will probably get a 2nd Presto digital so that we can can more at the same time. However, according to the instructions, you should have the "regulator" removed before warming your jars, and the canner will beep to let you know when to put the regulator on❤️
Thank you for the demonstration. I do have a canner/pressure that I use for water bath canning all the time. After watching you I am going to buy this one for pressure canning only. Seems less intimidating and less work than your stove top PC
You can start a new canning session as soon as your first round of jars come out. I just pour the water out and start the next batch. You’ll love the canner
thank you for the demo of this canner. I am new to canning and I bought this for the simplicity and the ability to not have to hover over it like the old school pressure pots. I have not used it yet cause I was looking for a video like yours to show proper operations. I know there's an instruction manual but I like to watch some one else do it to see the whole process of putting it all together so again thank you for the video!!! I do want to ask at the end of your video when you demonstrated the jars properly sealed. I always thought you had to keep the ring on. So you don't have to keep it on afterwards?
Hey! I’m re reading comment and I’m seeing that my comment back to you never posted 😢 I always take the rings off and leave them off just incase if it were to unseal then the lid would pop off.
Great video, I'd love to see how you can your potatoes, please I did check your videos to see if you'd already done it but I didn't see it so you have a good day
This one is so easy!! I think once I get comfortable with this one I may move to the traditional pressure canner OR I might just get another one of these 😉😉😉
I do have a couple of questions. Are the green beans completely cooked? Also can you put seasoning meat in while canning? I clearly understood your instructions. thank you
Yes green beans are completely cooked after pressure canning. And I’ve never added meat to it. I think if you added meat you would need to make sure your canning time is for meat. When I open a can of beans I just heat them up in a pot with some salt and bacon grease! Delicious!
Thank you for sharing , I have not canned at all, and I’m looking for a canner. Does the canner adjust the times for you ,(such what time and for altitude?)
Yes, it will can 1/2 pints. I use that size for jam. But remember that not everything needs to be pressure canned. Jam, for example, is water bathed, and you can do that in the Digital Canner as well. (Can't water bath quarts as there isn't enough room to do that -- you have to cover the jars with at least an inch of water. Better to use a stove top canner or pot to do that size.) For canning, just process the food the same way as for a larger jar. You should look up the processing time for those smaller jars. If you process different sizes, process time is for the larger jars.
I just got mine for Christmas. It came with an insert that said do not use vinegar in the pot bc It will damage the coating. I didn’t use vinegar in the water and of course it’s all crusty with hard water stains. I see that you did use vinegar 😮 have you seen any damage in doing that? Just curious about whether I should do my tried and true vinegar splash in the water.
@@FavoredAcreHomestead The newest ones can use vinegar and the brochure recommends it in your water bath if it is hard. I don't have hard water so this isn't an issue for me.
Can you bypass the jar warming option if you use boiling water in the canner and fill your jars of beans with boiling water before putting them in the canner?
Here is a link to the helpful Facebook group. Presto digital pressure canner group Jar warmimg stage is part of the complete process for canning and its not recommend it be just skipped. However, there are certain situations when it can be done, example...you entered wrong time and need to start over. In this case, everything is already warm. Here is a previous post on this topic: m.facebook.com/groups/prestodigitalcanner/permalink/440460014124763/?mibextid=Nif5oz
@@FavoredAcreHomestead Thank you, this was an accident and not skipped on purpose!!! I already had the jars ready before I plugged in the canner, as it was new last year and I forgot about the warming feature. I mainly want to make sure my green beans are ok.
I want one of these canners so bad, but another video scared me when they tried to can speghetti sauce during a test and it didn't reach the temp inside because it was too thick. How are your experiences going so far?
Hmm I’ll have to look into that. Was it the red head lady’s video? There are mixed opinions about that and I think she did another video and said she did some things wrong. There is a presto digital pressure canning group on Facebook and they have so much information. My experience so far has been wonderful!! I’m so happy with this canner and the Fb group. Everyone is so helpful and nice with all my questions
Is this the 6 or 12 qt electric canner? I read some reviews on Amazon, where people were saying that this doesn't pressure can accurately and to .eet safety standards. Do you know if any of that is true or not? TY
I believe I have the 12 quart. I got this for Christmas and I do not have the box anymore. From everything that I read, and for the one that I have, it does meet the safety standards! I remember last year looking at all of that and I was scared to get one of these because I didn’t know if it met the safety standards but I believe the Presto website says that it does.
Yes, I actually went on the Presto website last night and was reading what they said. It said it's approved for non-acidic foods with pressure & WB method. Apparently, not for acidic foods that require pressure? So I have to read up on what's considered alkaline vs. acidic & which method for each item.
Ok so for the electric pressure canner there is only one size. 12 quart. If you want to pressure can it’s Model 02144 presto precise “pressure” canner. It’ll be around $270 - $300. Amazon has it.
I don’t BUT I would be happy to made a canning video of potatoes! I’ve got to can some anyways before they get too soft. I don’t see why you couldn’t use russet potatoes, but I have heard those are more starchy so if you do you use those make sure you let them soak in some water for a little bit and rinse them several times before adding to your jar and I think that would help with the starch. Starch is not a bad thing. It just makes your jars not clear.
I have a question. The instructions say to can corn in digital pressure canner for 90 mins. I did that and it looks very overcooked. My canner friend says she only cans hers for 30 minutes and it turns out great. I'm at a loss lol
Hey! have you tasted it yet? does it taste burnt? I have heard that is why most people freeze their corn. Are you processing whole kernel corn or cream style? pints or quarts? my ball book says 55 min for pints and 85 for quarts
@@FavoredAcreHomestead your right. I misread. Mine says 85 for quarts. I haven't tasted it yet. I did freeze a bunch. I think I'll stick with that. Its whole kernel off the cob. I guess corn is one of those things I just need to freeze. We havent tasted it yet. I'll open some tonight and try it. The pinto beans was 90 mins and turned out fine. Thank you so much for all of your help. I couldn't get answers anywhere. You are a lifesaver!!! I appreciate you!!
Hi…… New to channel! Can you just put an empty jar with water in canner if you don’t have enough of what you are canning! Like if it holds 5 qts. and u only have 4 qts. Of beans can you put in an empty jar filled with water? Thanks 😊
@@FavoredAcreHomestead No I don’t have one ! We are looking into buying one! We just have an old stove top one! This just seems much easier! Wanted to do more research before getting an electric one! Loved how you explained using one on your channel! How long have you used this one? Thanks for all your help!
It is way easier! You can walk away from it and it does all the work. I got this for Christmas last year and used it in may for the first time. So I’ve been using it weekly for several months. There’s a presto digital pressure canning group on Fb and it’s so helpful if you wanted to join
Cannot find this information anywhere, Do you know if the pot to this brand is Teflon? I would prefer not to use Teflon coated around my parrots, it isn't safe.
Hmm I’m not 100% sure but I think I have seen something about that in a fb group. There’s a group called “official presto precise digital pressure canner” and they would know. I’ll see if I can find it too. Also try customer service they are very helpful
No mine aren’t mushy. Hmm I wonder what Would cause that. How long did you process? I cooked some the other day on the stove for another 45 min and even then they weren’t mushy.
I add vinegar to my canner because we have hard water. Unless you mean because I’m wiping my rims with vinegar. I do that just to be extra safe 🙂 I guess a habit
