Pressure Canning Raw Pack Chicken in the Presto Digital Canner 

Thank you. I never get tired of hearing the science behind safe canning. You’re one of the few, if not only ones on YT that go into the detail we need to can safely. There’s so many rebel canners who have given inaccurate and unsafe information to people. Having your unbiased and science based reviews has been very refreshing and confidence building to me and others. We appreciate what you do at your own expense and time. Thank again.

I have the same canner, you can skip the warm jar step by just advancing to the next step. I love this canner. It's so easy to use.

I bought one of these pressure canners earlier this year. I love it. I started with some thing simple like carrots. I've canned potatoes, sweet potatoes, chicken and mixed vegetables in broth, pot roast, chili, BBQ pulled pork and so much other stuff. I live alone and do mostly small batches of pints. I've sampled several things and it's all been really good so far. Today I did 5 quarts of chicken, tomorrow I'll make sloppy joes and bean with ham soup. This is my new favorite toy!

I just got my presto digital canner today. Please show more videos on canning with this canner. I can’t wait to use mine. I have my fingers crossed.

Even though I have watched so many of your videos, I always go back to rewatch when I'm processing the items you are processing. Love that "school" like presentation. I have learned so much more, thank you.

Although that first step does seem like a waste, especially if your doing a cold food/cold jars I am still leaning to this over the Max for the fact it can do quarts. And I dont care how many times I see that logger..its still sexy. You have no clue how appreciated you are. Applause

thank you so much for all of your testing and for sharing this information with all of us. You have made the canning process more "comfortable" for those of us that are not sure if it works. Since I've been watching your videos, I cannot believe how much I have canned. What is truly amazing is - our refrigerator/freezer went out last week. I was able to can 32 pint jars of chicken, ground beef, and chuck roast so as not to lose it. We also canned several jars of frozen fruits (for smoothies), and vegetables we use for stews. Before "Rose Red Homestead" - I would have been totally panicked. We now have everything fixed without stressing or crying (I'm sure my husband would have been upset and stressed also).

Things have always been rough at home and I had to make do with the little scraps of love to survive. I know I’m just a little kid and a stranger at best but I just want to thank you for making me feel safe with the energy you inherently possess, its oddly comforting.

Can’t tell you how much I appreciate your vast knowledge and attention to detail. Huge thanks!!!

I purchased my Presto canner in October 2022. I can chili and soup for my daughter in another state. Any left-over chili and soup is placed in the jars and canned as I clean the kitchen after supper. I have recommended this canner to young people who want to being canning but are afraid of the pressure canner. I have also recommended people watch this video to see how you operate the canner. Thanks

Brilliant! You are so appreciated for your excellent teaching skills. I love how you explain so clearly and thoroughly! Thank you so much.

Thank you. I like hearing the science behind canning. You are my go to person for canning

I know others have but I would like to thank you for all of the work you've put in to testing this pressure canner. Especially people like me can benefit from this greatly! If I lived in Utah I would give you a hug.

You are my gold standard when it comes to canning. If I find a canning recipe on the Internet, I always seek out your confirmation before trying. It gives me the confidence I need to make sure the foods I’m canning are indeed safe. Thank you for all your efforts. Please continue to make more videos! They are just awesome!

I am very careful about feeding my family food that is safely canned so the science behind the process seals my confidence. I appreciate the time you take to show everyone the correct and safe ways to can. I have just recently purchased the Presto electric digital canner and it has been a game changer!!

I love the way you explain everything. I just bought this canner.

Wow, I just got a digital presto. I usually use one with a gauge that you use one a stove top. Just used right as I watched this. This video was so helpful. Thank you. Love your videos.

I bought one yesterday, it will be delivered Wednesday. I can't wait to get started. Thank YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! You've given me the confidence to start canning.

Thank you, always refresh myself with your video’s. Safe methods for sure. Have used my Presto for 2 years doing all of these, and never feel unsure.

That data logger is the coolest gadget ever!

I love your videos. I bought the Presto Digital electric canner last summer & FYI, my canner came with instructions on how to bypass jar warming.

Thanks for this. I just ordered one of these and should be here tomorrow. I love the knowledge that you include in your videos. You take me back to the summer days when I used to stay with my grandma and grandpa and canning all summer. Keep it up you do a wonderful job.

I think this is remarkable and is going to be a great help to people like me in wheelchairs or who have damaged hands and cannot carry pots of boiling water or even deal with a lot of boiling water on the stove. This is easy enough for me to teach my caregiver how to do this and then we can just put the food in and pretty much walk away. I'm so happy this has come out and I'm sure that other companies will be soon to follow!

Kudos to for taking your knowledge in science and canning with us. Can't wait to hear your unbiased opinion on this canner. Hope it's good news! Take care, stay cool and be well. Just really enjoy your videos.

Finally, I now understand the science of canning. Thank you for your detailed testing. This is amazing. Now considering getting the Presto Canner. I currently have the All American.

Thank you for taking us through the Presto process step by step. Very informative for everyone. Truly, I can't thank you enough for all the time you take to give us the proper science in an understandable form so that we can all learn to trust the process. You are the best!

Great overview! I'm heading over to the more detailed film now... THANKS for all your GREAT work!

Thank you so much for this. I am going to get me one of these now. For small batches and helping with the heating up of my kitchen. Thank you both for all you do for us and God bless

Ty for helping and teaching us all. You are truly a blessing!

I love you explaining all the data on the chicken. You are the only one on you tube who does this. I love watching your video.

Thank you for this video, I love my Presto digital canner but I've been nervous about trying raw pack chicken. I always appreciate your science based approach to canning.

I'm so glad I found your channel! I just ordered one of these and I'm excited to get it!

I love that you are giving the science behind the chance of botulism…I have only read about that but never heard anyone actually speak about it. So many uninformed canners don’t believe that there is such a thing as botulism food poisoning…and there definitely is.

Thank you for doing the testing with the Presto canner (watched each video) I have been looking at it for a while, but had my reservations. We just built a house and I have a glass stove top, so I’m afraid to can meat with my All American canner on my stove top. I just purchased this canner yesterday and I’m excited for it to arrive. Thank you again for all your hard work.

Thank you for the info you are AWESOME for all the work you do

Thank you so much for the useful videos, and especially caring enough for the data logger. Exceptionally helpful! I bought this canner because of your data!.

Thank you for teaching us! I'm new to canning, thank for sharing your knowledge . I have learned so much by watching your videos. Keep up the great work! Many blessings !

Thank you, I never get bored with watching you show us how to can safely. I have learned so much from you. I am so impressed at how you take so much time in your videos to instruct the rest of us. I have always been concerned with whom I follow, but with you, I know I am being shown the right way to can to keep my family safe> I appreciate everything you do!

wow - this is incredible. thank you for being so thorough!

As usual Pam, a great informative video. Thank you for taking the time to test this, so we don't have to worry about our canning. I am about to can some apricots tonight.....first canning of the season yipeee

I'm preparing for canning food and binge watching your videos. (I commented earlier that I was awaiting my canner delivery, but have since learned it was damaged during shipping and is on its way back to Amazon. That's ok, I realized that the bigger canner is the one I need, this gave me a way to get it without fuss.)

Love the data tracker! Thank you for your scientific exploration of the kill zone. I have a friend who rushes the cool-down cycle, and I will be sending him your video.

Thank you so much lovely lady. Canning safety is important to me and my new presto electric came in on Monday. Please continue with your fabulous and scientific electric canning videos.

Thank you so much! I am getting one now. You have explained this and given me peace about canning now.

We love all of your thoughts. Keep it up girl. We are watching and learning.

Thank you so much! Your videos are always such a help.

As usual another helpful and insightful lesson. I appreciate y'all

Great to have someone explain things so thoroughly.

Once again your videos did not disappoint. Thank you

That was so interesting. You are very inspirational and I love your evidence-based approach.

Thank you for another wonderful video. I appreciate the scientific method you bring to your testing. I'm still new to canning, which is why I bought a Presto Digital Canner, and now I'm trying to learn the science behind canning so I can truly understand what needs to happen for the canning to be safe and effective.

I'm so glad I just found you. I just purchased this canner. I'm learning from you. Ty Ty for these videos. I'm binge watch your videos.

Miss Pam, thank you, thank you, thank you for ALL your Hard work checking to see if the Presto canner is safe for a variety of foods and how long the canner keeps the temp in the "kill zone". Bless you and may your efforts be richly rewarded!!! I know this means a great deal to me!!!!

I’m a newbie and got this presto digital canner. After watching tons of videos, I’ll ONLY follow your guidelines!! From canning to the dry goods!! Thank you for everything you do and teaching us!! You are amazing!!! Thank you 🙏

Another excellent and thorough video! Thank you so very much for all you do.

I trust u with my canning life & I have learned so much more from u as u give results of your tests. Thank u for teaching me safety. U taught me the Kill Zone continues into the cool down phase which is so very important to know. U r Safety Queen as well as Rock Star!!🐾💕💕

Thank you so much for this information and your time and efforts to collect it!

What is interesting is how the camera person seems to know how to focus on what to make things more understandable, what he does is to focus our attention on where we want it to be as if we were in person. Good job!

The 2 of you are awesome. You have become my favorite go to channel. I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into every video. Wish you were my neighbor. God blessyou and yours.

Now I more fully understand the WHY of pressure canning. Thank you.

I sure appreciate all this testing and canning instructions. God bless!

Wonderful microbiology lesson 🎉

Pam you are my absolute favorite RU-vidr! I love your show, love your teaching style and love the science. Wow! 🦋💖

Thank you for your continued knowledge and research on this product, Presto should be paying you one hefty amount of commission for doing this detailed research we Thank You I would not have purchased this canner unless I saw your work..

Excellent as always studying these electric canners! Thank you!

I love your approach! Your videos have become my handy dandy home extension agent. One of the best bakers I've ever known was a trained chemist. To quote him "Food preparation is science!"

I love watching your videos. Thank you for your hard work.

Excellent timing. We're processing chickens this week.

I have never seen a data collector like you have used…thank you. My new 12 Qt. Presto Pressure Canner is on the way…can’t wait to use it!

Great info. You are doing a real service!

You could be heating the water separately from Heating the jars then your just topping out hot water into your kettle or sink full the jars and start.

WOW amazing video, this is so much the things I consider while I put up food and I didn't know that this could be done. Thank you so much it's definitely a confidence builder Knowing that this canner can and does maintain the heat needed for safe food.

After seeing all this valuable data you have collected, I almost feel comfortable using one of these. Almost! Thanks again for sharing your test data and for all your hard work.

works great. i love that it has stainless steal pot inside ru-vid.comUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and not the one with coating. we used to have a coated pot before, and the coating slowly peels, and i am sure went into the food that we cooked. Absolutely love stainless steel, and will not use a coated product again.This pot has many settings and many buttons, and i need to sit down with a manual to figure out which setting to use. I used the basic functions, and even though i am not technologically skilled, i turned it on and assembled it without any help.Very satisfied with this product overall.

I'm so excited to get started canning again.

I am canning my 1st batch of chicken tomorrow morning, feeling much safer after watching this video,I love my presto digital canner..

This was very informative and reassuring since I own the Presto digital canner. So far I have only canned beans in it. My next canning project will be to do some chicken. Thanks so much, Pam!

I think I was watching another homesteader and she mentioned you. That was a week ago. I have been obsessively watching your videos ever since LOL Thank you a hunderd fold for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us. I have been water bath canning for over 50 years. But it has been in the past year that I have felt the need to learn how to pressure can, which has always terrified me. No more!! Put my big girl panties on and hit "order now" Thank you to infinity!!

Thank you! I always feel that we are over processing our meat. You chart indicates that too .

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I enjoy the videos.

August 2022. I have this canner, bought in May. Now the regulator is in the front of the canner when the lid is locked on, making it easier to put on at the proper time. I have enjoyed using my Presto Digital canner.

As a nurse, LOVE this! I can't your beef stew recipe a year ago and have been too chicken to eat it!

I love that you're doing all this research and proof that the presto electric canner safely cans. I started canning about 6 months ago with the presto electric canner, And I love it! I have an old style glass top range and I'm unable to use a range-heated canner. I'm so grateful this presto is electric and I can use it very easily in my kitchen. The only thing I wish it was also offered in a bigger size. It's a great size for small batches, and for my husband and me, however I like to can for my children and grandchildren and find it would be more time effective if I could get one that was larger as well. Until then I may get a second one just so I can do two batches at once. 👍🥰. For anyone considering the presto electric canner I would highly recommend it!!

Thanks for all your hard work. I love this canner (except for the warming of the jars time)

I just got mine last week and they now include instructions on how to skip the warm cycle. When you push up to the "warm" cycle hold the arrow button for 5 seconds and it will skip to "heat"

Well this is very interesting isn’t it? I have never seen one of these canners. I have been wanting a second canner and this might be fun to try. Thanks for all you guys do! ❤️❤️❤️

Great lesson, will be following you from now on.👍

You are such a blessing! Thank you!!

Thank You,I have presto digital canner it works great the cool down time is a long time because the canner has insulation around it where a stove top done not.

I am making a list of the things I want to can when Max arrives. Next to each item is a link to your video(s) about that item. I just got the newest USDA canning book and the newest Ball canning book, so with a little help from you and my friends, I begin tomorrow! I have a refrigerator full of fresh meat and everything else I need. It’s a beautiful thing you have brought to the world with your experience and testing. There is no equal.

Thank you so much for this. I haven’t pc’d any meat yet but now I feel confident I can and not have botulism again.

You are awesome. I don’t trust your average person’s recommendation because they give their opinion. You are basing information on facts. I might actually buy the canner now. Thank you.

Thank you so much, Pam, for doing these videos. Your video summarizing the temperature data for your various batches convinced me to purchase the Presto Digital Canner. Personally, I suspect Presto designed the canner to stay in the kill zone for a longer time than necessary to avoid lawsuits. I haven't read all the comments and don't know if anyone else mentioned that Presto has revised the manual to provide updated information on the use of extension cords as well as how to by-pass the Jar Warming phase. My unit came with a pink sheet with the updated/supplemental info for my manual (revision B). Presto has the revised manual on-line, currently at revision C. The use of an extension cord is on page 2 and instructions for by-passing the Jar Warming phase is on page 23. It's probably in our best interest to periodically check to see if there's a new revision for the manual. I look forward to watching more of your pressure canning videos, especially those using the Presto Digital Pressure Canner.

I am glad you have that gadget, it was very interesting to be able to track.

Thank you for providing trustworthy data to help with decision making. I'll be happier using my Presto unit now. Be well and at peace.

I am developing my canning skills and I find your videos so very helpful. It is possible to skip the warming step, if you choose. When starting the warming cycle, press and hold the arrow button for about 5 seconds and it will skip the warming cycle. Occasionally I will cold pack something and don’t need to warm the jars. Generally though I find the warming cycle very convenient.

Thx! Going to raw can chicken in my new carey & appreciate your teaching!

Thank you so much!!!

I use a short heavy duty extension cord with my presto as the manual says and it works fine love your videos

You can bypass, it says how to skip forward under the instructions for error during canning. I did that and it worked fine. Love your video! Thank you
