Towards the end of the video, she states it only holds 4 pints and “it becomes a chore.” Let me tell you, once you have 1 of these, you’ll definitely be getting another. I have 4. It works wonderfully and my house doesn’t heat up in canning season.
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING! I'm new to canning and have this pressure cooker that I used when my boys were in sports and I worked full time. It was amazing for getting home late after a long day, to throw a meal together quickly, because I refused to feed my boys fast food. But now my boys just graduated college and I started contemplating if it had the ability to can. Sure enough, I pulled it out, and there was the steam canning option! THEN I was at my Aunt's over the weekend and she was donating her brand new never used pressure cooker (this exact one), and I snatched it! So now I have 2 of these :) Being brand new to this arena, I'm sure it will be awhile before I'm able to have both running at the same time, but I figure the option is now there since I scored the other pressure cooker free...lol
Thank you for taking the time to put this video together :) I'm brand new to canning, and had this pressure cooker on hand that I used for quick healthy meals when my boys were in sports and I worked full time. I recently got to wondering if it had the ability to pressure can, and sure enough, the option was right there on it :) Then I was helping my Aunt over the weekend, and she had a brand new pressure cooker (same exact one) sitting in a donation pile. I snatched it up quickly and brought it home, so now I have 2 pressure cookers :) Since I'm brand new to this, it will be awhile before I'm able to mutitask 2 units at once, but the option is now there :) I gleaned a lot from the info you shared :) Hope you have a blessed day :)
Thank you. That’s great that you were able to double your canning ability. It took me awhile to be able to scale up. Money, time & confidence was my roadblocks. Once I got over them there was no stopping me. I canned beans (cheap 😉) in my 23 quart Presto Canner as a trail run. I figured if I messed it up I was out too much money. They turned out great. I still use my electric canner for small batches. Take your time, always do your checklist and don’t stress it. You will get to where you want to be. If you have anymore questions I would be more than happy to help if I can. Stay Safe & Keep Prepping!🙂
@@hismercysavessallysue5927 I have the same pressure cooker. If you look into it, there have been studies done that show that this pressure cooker does not get the food temperature high enough to kill botulism. You can safely use it in place of water bath canning, but canning meat and low acid foods is a big risk.
Thank you for the info about the 2000 feet above sea level. I have a power pressure cooker and didn’t find that information in my canning booklet for it. Thank you for your video. There are very few if them for the power pressure brand.
Congratulations on getting one. 🎉 Yes you can do half pints. Seven fit’s in there but you can only do one level. It is too high otherwise. I love mine for small batch’s.
Someone gave me this cooker and I wanted to do some canning and the metal rack for inside is missing. Can I use something else in the pot that would keep the jars off the bottom?
Yes you can. I just tried the metal lids from a regular mouth for you. It works pretty well. If all you have is a dish towel that could work to. Whatever you use you just want it to be as level as possible. You don’t want whatever you are canning to interfere with the seal on the lid. Happy Canning! 🙂
Plain cubed chicken? Otherwise known as Ugly Chicken? If this is what you mean than yes. All the time there are many videos out the showing you how. I also have one on my channel.
David you would be correct in your thinking if I didn’t already have several videos of me demonstrating canning in my Power Pressure Cooker XL. I did this review after having used my unit for some time. Here is a link to one of my video’s showing me using it. So with many videos on my channel already with me demonstrating my use of my electric canner it felt redundant so I focused on reviewing. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LbRQD3DVqMw.html
This is the 1st video that actually helped me USE the unit.. you showed us how to set the pressure CANNING TIMING. Thank YOU. I’m going to try it tmrw..
The video was a review of the XL Pressure Cooker as the title suggests. If you are looking for a video showing the canning process in this unit. There are several on my channel. So you can really see the process. Be Warned I do talk in that video as well. God Bless 🙏🏽 Here is a link for one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LbRQD3DVqMw.html
