I am so impressed with your style of educating. Truly impressed. I have 3 degrees in 3 different professions and I can honestly say the only time I was fortunate enough to have an educator with your style of teaching to the most learning types was my first degree. Sadly, only a few professors during my time earning my other 2 degrees did the professors educate to the multiple learning styles. You and Jim are a rarity among educators and are truly a blessing. ❤️
I’m glad to hear you say that you didn’t get rid of your Presto Digital due to a failure. Whew!
Thank you for your careful evaluation of all the canners over these many months. It has brought me knowledge and great peace of mind. I appreciate you both. Have a wonderful 2023!
Love my Presto electric canner. Just large enough for the two of us. And being 74, help not having to do large batches at one time that wears me out.
Me, too! I just got one for my bday (a few days before Christmas), and I love it! I got so nervous when she said she got rid of it, but if she gave it to someone else to use, then I know it is still safe! Whew!
Where was I when she said that about her Presto. That is the I bought. Why did she get rid of it?😢
@@noracharles80 At 5:20 in the video she mentions it. No reason other than preference. She gave it to someone who needed one as she didn’t need 3.
I am so glad there was not a problem, I just bought one. Interesting to see the comparisons. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you so much for doing this. I absolutely LOVE canning with MAX. As empty nesters, pints are perfect for us, and I just don’t get the anxiety I would have with a regular canner.
I love the Max as well for the reasons you mention.
God bless you & Jim! You guys go above & beyond to help us! Love you guys! Thanks for another great video!
I love my stovetop Presto canner. I use it on a glass top stove and find that it’s not hard at all to stabilize the heat, but I use it indoors so I’m sure that makes a huge different than using it outside with the fluctuations and on a propane burner. I also bought a 3 piece weight so I don’t have to watch the dial gauge.
I also have a Nesco Smart canner and love it! I’ve used it outside on the patio in the summer. Perfect for small batch canning.
Thank you and Jim for your videos!
We do not use our 23 QT Presto canner on our glass top because is an induction range and will work on our aluminum Presto, so we use it outside. We are going to get the 3-piece weights as soon as we can. Thank us for letting know about your canning successes. Jim
@@RoseRedHomestead I just bought the 23 qt. Presto Induction canner. I currently dont have an Induction cook top but will have one again so that is why I bought the Induction ready Presto canner. I love Induction cook tops. Very efficient and responsive.
Another Absolutely Fantastic Video!! Such a wealth of knowledge! I have a video suggestion…… could you do a video on your outdoor Campchef that you use to can with? I know there are many camp stoves/grills you can’t use to can as they will melt most canners unless you use an All American Canner. I’m quite interested in your outdoor setup. Thank you ❤️😊
I'm also interested in more about the Campchef stove top/oven combo....not for canning but for outdoor cooking/baking bread and meals in summer....saving on electricity and heating up the house using my conventional oven.
I have never owned a pressure canner, but you have inspired me to get one, and to use it safely as you and Jim have demonstrated. Thank you for your meticulous comparisons of the various types of canners.
Thank you for a wonderful video. Would love to see a video on canning tomatoes. Specifically, water bath vs. pressure canned. I've never been able to understand why there isn't a tested recipe for pressure canning tomatoes without lemon juice or citric acid (we dislike the taste).
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my Carey (Nesco) electric canner. It has allowed me to put up many healthy veggies, soups, stews and even just meats!!
Sounds great!!! Jim
They have them on Amazon now for $110. I just ordered another one.
@@reginathompson9350 I hope you love it as much as I do!!
@@blessedKSMom I do
RoseRed Homestead -I bought Carey(Nesco) electric canner and I used only ones for canning ground beef-but now I’m so confused because you’re saying that canning is safe in electric canners but you’re not going to use them again-if I understand correctly 🤷🏻♀️please don’t take me wrong I am just confused because I’m newer in this and would love to learn 🥰🥰thank you for your hard work 🌹
Your magical gadget is absplutely wonderful!
It’s because of you and Jim cooking outside with your Camp 20:22 Chef stove, I purchased the Camp Chef Tahoe stove. It is a game changer canning outside. I ran canners outside and inside both this fall when it cooled down In temperature. Your videos are the best out there on the internet! Thank you Pam & Jim for all the information and the work you do on your channel. Best wishes for both of you going into a new year!
Yes, being able to use both inside and outside canners gives you a lot of versatility and helps to fill your shelf space. You have a great year this year. Jim
Thank you for continuing to check the safety of the electric canners. Oh boy the number of channels and people who say these canners are not safe is daunting. I have a Carey electric canner and a presto stove top canner. I use both frequently. I recently got a three piece weight for my Presto so that I could use the 10 psi weight for my nearly sea level elevation. It has made it so much easier to find the sweet spot on the Presto. Before with the standard canner weigh/gauge I had to stand next to my canner almost constantly. Now I can periodically check it and it is fine.
Pam, this was a very nice video and so great to see Jim! You two are ADORABLE! I just made more ghee and couldn’t have done it had I not seen your videos. THANK YOU! Happy Healthy New Year!
Thank you for the kind comments. You have a great year, too. Jim
Thank you for the step by step, makes me feel a bit more confident to do this canning.
Thank you Pam and Jim for the lesson and analysis. I’m so relieved you’re still working with the Nesco since that’s the electric version I settled on. ❣️
Thanks for all of the good information. Both of you are great teachers, and all of us watching are reaping the benefits! I purchased an Instant Pot Max after watching your canning videos, and have found it to be very convenient for canning pints for myself and my husband. For many years I used a big Presto stovetop canner, but something smaller suits our needs now. Enjoy your retirement, and thank you Pam and Jim for investing your time in all of us!
Hello 👋
Jim really looks good. You can tell he has lost and kept off his weight loss. Congrats....even through the holidays.
Happy belated birthday, Jim. My sons birthday is also on the 27th. And thank you both for the two day sale. I love your channel. I can't wait to see what you have for us in 2023, after you get some we'll deserved rest and relaxation of course.
My Cary holds 6 pints, if you use regular mouth jars 😊
I love my Nesco and appreciate all your testing. Thank you 😉😉
Love your channel. Thanks for all you do! I have had my Carey canner a little over a year and love using it! I found boneless skinless chicken breast today for $1.99/lb. Bought 6 lbs and canned 6 pints. Grateful to have shelf stable food and I love taking advantage of sale prices!
Where we are, 6 pounds of boneless chicken breasts is about $25. We hope you like the books. Jim
Thanks again Pam and Jim for all you do for us. 😊
Thank you two
I just got a replacement regulator for my 23 quart Presto pressure cooker. It has sections to use according to your elevation. I put it on after the 10 min. steam up and it took it to my 10# pressure and stayed. I set a timer and the canner stayed on perfect pressure.
I would suggest you buy a Presto Pressure Regulator that comes with 5, 10, and 15 pound weights that make it much easier to regulate your pressure. For your elevations it would automatically regulate your pressure for you. You still have to watch your canner but you can hear it regulating the temperature instead of having to watch it. It jiggles allowing steam to escape when it reaches the pressure needed.
I have 2 All Americans. I dropped the lid years ago and broke my pitcock. They no longer made that. I replaced it with a rocker guage. I LOVE this setup. I can watch the pressure and hear the rocker guage. Does not need the babysitting it did without the rockerguage. When I inherited the smaller All Amercian(it will hold 18 pts,the larger 16 qts) I took the pitcock off and my oldest daughter gave me the 2 parts I needed for the rocker guage. I also had a pressure canner with a rubber seal I bough from a friend many decades ago when I 1st started pressure canning. It worked wonderfully until that seal dry rotted beyond repair while in use. It scared me to death when steam started spewing out after a LOUD pop. This was before home computers and I had no idea where to get a new seal. The canner turned into a nice water dish for my dog
Yes, we are going to do that in an upcoming MicroMoment. I rely more on the 15psi weight that came with the canner than I do the dial, but we show how to can using the dial in our videos.
I bought the weighted regulator as well. I don't really have to check the canner after the first few minutes, just stay in the house where I can hear the jiggle.
@@DamfinoFarm Yes, that is how I do it.
Thank you for sharing your great knowledge as well as actually canning and showing the steps!! I’m a beginner and excited to start canning. Will keep following you!
Thank you Jim and Pam! I have an All American canner but I just bought an instant pot max and canned yesterday. I love I can can indoor in small batches because sometimes I can only find a smaller amount of “on sale“ food. It’s very handy! I still majorly depend on my regular canner but I love the instant pot max as well. Thank you for what you do!
Pam ty, I'm new to canning, and I've binge watched your videos, and feel I'm canning safely. Love and respect and enjoy your retirement.
I have had an All American 921 for years, and haven't used it until lately, after you explained what finger tight is! I canned my freezer contents, bought meat on sale and canned that, and pintos, grapes, apples, and have just had a blast. I never knew how easy dinners could be. Thank you so much for your positive and confident presentations. Happy New Year.
So glad you are using your AA canner--it is a good one. I have never used one but they are loved by the people that have them.
Love your scientific, analytical, data driven analysis. 🎉 Nice job! Thank you..
Happy New Year
Thank you for another great pressure canning recipe video! Your videos have taught me so much about canning and have given me the confidence to start pressure canning. I am so thankful I found you as now at this time when my family is sick, I can take comfort in knowing I have put away jars of food to make quick and easy meals.
After watching your presentation on canners, I bought a Nesco Canner. I have a smooth top stovetop and didn't want to have to worry about the temperature. It is so easy to just plug it in and do the water bath or pressure canning methods. I didn't want to be bothered checking once it starts to process. For two people, it is the perfect size. I did 25 lbs. of beets. It took a while but it was so easy to use.
I love my pressure canner, it greatly expanded my preserving.
Thank you so much for sharing this information. I was given money as a gift from my sister and used it to buy the Nesco electric canner and I am so excited. The knowledge I have gotten from your videos have been so valuable as I re-enter the world of canning. My husband and I are both retired (age 68) and decided to start canning again. It has helped us out economically as we are trying to be very careful with our spending. It has also been helpful for us to be able to control the ingredients going into our food consumption. I love the gadget as it gives me confidence in knowing I am canning safely.
Thanks so much Jim.and Pam. This is so very helpful.
"Umm.... maybe we'll do that again...." she says calmly as Jim near blows his arm up, lol, that was a fun blooper scene 😄
Thank you for doing this video, it is very helpful. I am sorry today you have a few problems in video quality you might not be aware of it. I thought you might like to know and fix. You have 3 points in the video where you scroll added information just note they scroll very fast and hard to read at their current speed. Love the yellow and bold simple text. Problem times are at approximately at 10 min 10 sec, 16 min 40 sec and 17 min 00 sec. Also please note that you lose your voice at the pros and con sections. I cannot hear what you are saying there is no audio at these two times at approximately 16min 40 sec and 17 min 00 sec. Please note I am watching on Apple iPad on Safari. I hope this information helps, so you might correct the video. Keep making very informative videos. I appreciate you factual and detail presentations. You both do an awesome job. Enjoy your retirement. Thank you again. If you had this problem too. Pleas hit the thumbs up button to let Pam know that there is more than just me with this problem of no audio, and maybe leave a comment on what type of devise your watching from. It might help them.
Happy birthday Jim.
if nothing else you are THOROUGH!!! Check and recheck and hands on, thanks!
Omigosh. You guys. My heart sank - I saw the thumbnail and I read "The Pros and Cons of Cancer Types" - and I nearly got sick. Imagine my relief when you started talking about CANNERS. Praise the Lord, and also I should stay off the computer when I have a migraine...
Do not feel bad. You caught the misread. That happens to me all of the time. I read something and it makes no sense and I have to go back and re-read it and come down off the ceiling. For me this is especially true for highly charged terms. If you look at both words, they have many of the same letters and can easily be mistaken. Thanks for rereading the term and watching our channel. Jim
I have the presto and instant pot max canner as well as a carey. when I have small portions to can I use the smaller ones. the presto is a don't leave the room canner. I have electric stove and I am constantly monitoring the pressure. thank you for your video and so happy to hear I'm not the only one that watches constantly pressure readings. thanks Jim. and Ms Pam.
I just got a Nesco for Christmas. I'm not sure how to use it for canning, but I can't wait to learn! Thank you for the video
Suggestion: Read the canner instructions and download a copy of the USDA Compete Guide for Canning, 2015, Revised. We have over 400 videos canning and gardening. Jim
I have now 2 Nescos. It isn't a con to me that it only holds 4 qts. It fits my budget for snagging sale meats and canning meals. And my garden has small yeilds at a time. My con with the Nesco is with pints. 5 wide mouth go in very easily. You can't get the first one out without at least an ovglove. I love this canner. But, if I can ever afford the max...😁
I'm new to your channel & to pressure canning. You're truly a gem! You have a wonderful style of teaching & building confidence at the same time.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world 🖤
Thank you so much, and welcome! We will have a pressure canning online course ready to publish later this month and would love to have you join!
I made vegetables soup in the blue book 1995 one very good.
I had high hopes for my instant pot max. I purchased it earlier this year after seeing your tests. Mine however was dead on arrival for canning. It was never able to get above 97°. This reinforced the importance of not relying on electricity for this.
Electric appliances are amazing when they work, but a headache when they don’t. I purchased a presto 16qt canner instead. I now have a $100 paperweight with the max, but it was a valuable lesson learned.
Yeah totally disappointed with the max
We are sorry to hear about that. Why did you not contact Instant Pot Max and return it? Or get an exchange for a new one that works and not one that had the service tag removed, so you do not know whether it is used or refurbished? (If you get a "new one" that has the service tag removed, do not plug it in or turn it on. Contact the company. Or get a refund? And make sure that you post a review on the company Website about what happened. No axe grinding, just the facts. If a company representative contacts and says something to the effect, "we are a small company" as a justification for changing your review to something positive, do not fall for it. If your questions about the item that is sent to you in exchange for your original are ignored, write that up as part of your review. Ultimately, if you decide to exchange new/replaced item, send it back (tell them you want them to pay for shipping) and tell them you want a complete refund and that you are going to look for that product at another company. We had massive problems with our first power station and we got a complete refund and bought another brand, with which we are happy. It took about 30 days to go through the process and get our refund. (If you can talk with someone on the phone about your problem, do so.) Jim
@@RoseRedHomestead yes, I did return mine and bought 2 Nesco digital which I absolutely love after watching your review
Thank you! Super helpful. I am relatively new to canning and I’m saving and sharing your videos! Bless you guys.❤
Thank you, Pam and Jim. Finding your channel has been a game changer for me. I have learned so much and am now confident with my All American canner. My family eat meat for I have been using alot of your recipes for them. However, I am vegetarian. I was thrilled to find you demonstrating vegetable soup. My Nesco canner came yesterday. So I am going to make a single batch of soup today. More vegetarian recipes would be appreciated. They hard difficult to find
Thank you again for all your hard work💗💗
Thanks you! We are working on more veggie meals. Jim
Thank you so much!!!!
I have the Nesco canner. I have a glass top stove so I wanted an electric canner. I really like it. The con of having to move the weight from exhaust to airtight is not a problem, and quite easy to monitor. You do have to unplug the canner when it is done, but no big deal. I am happy with it.
Thank you for the education. I have been looking for a funnel for canning. I like stainless steel.
Amazon has a set with a wide and regular mouth stainless funnel. Less than $15.
Farm and Fleet
Or Fleet Farm (Minnesota).
Got the Nesco Canner since its only me and a beginner canner. Thank you so much for your Content
First time viewer here. I have that exact Ball Blue Book and I had no idea that it could be outdated! Thanks for bringing that to my attention and I Iook forward to learning more from you.
Watch the peas in that book found out the other day that they have been changed in a new book.
I just love you guys!! ❤️ I laughed with the Star Wars-esque scrolling text when the audio was absent!! 🤣🥰 God bless you guys! I love learning with you!! 🙏🥰
I enjoy your canning videos. I'm looking at the electric canner! I have 23 presto!
Thank you for this video! Gosh the canning police still insist that the nesco is not good and I bought one and use it based on the information that you did and I love it! And i also bought the ipot max and have used that and I love the fact it gives the temp on the screen. Thank you for all youndo and I just love your videos!
Thank you Thank you for another great video! I've learned a lot about canning that I will put into practice going forward.
So sorry your employer didn't give you Emeritus status. However, there is a work around with Google docs which are free. I've used their spread sheet software to keep my family budget and other small projects for years.
Thanks so much to you both. I learned so much from your channel.
I just watched your video on canning the chicken soup and was inspired into looking at the Nesco canner. So, I am going to get one and try it out. I have not pressure canned before and I purchased one of the Presto canners that Jim was using outside and at this point in time it is too heavy for me to use so I'm excited to get the Nesco. Thank you for all your videos that you and Jim do for us.
Sounds great! Thanks for your comment. Once we fill that big canner with water and jars, we don't ever lift it until it is empty again!
I own a Cary/Nesco electric canner and an All American 921. I live alone, and with my arthritis, these two canners suit me beautifully. I find myself using the Cary all the time for both water bath and pressure canning. Sometimes I have both going at once! That way, the Cary keeps me busy, so I don’t get tempted to leave the All American unattended 😉 I love your channel, and your serious testing convinced me to purchase the Cary. Thank you! ❤️
When i pressure can with my presto canner i use it as office or recreation time... i sit in a chair i bring in the kitchen where i can see and hear the canner with unobstructed path to it . I will work on household accounts, pay bills, menu and grocery plan, look up new recipes or I'll watch a movie or reada book on my kindle. Its also a good time to make family phone calls. Lots can be accomplished while you babysit your canner. Including meal prep, or freezer meals.
Thanks Pam.
I just love watching your videos and learn something new each time. Happy New Year! My wonderful husband also got me the Maslin pan you used in this video for Christmas! I can’t wait to use it……maybe for vegetable soup!
I bought a Maslin pan because I see Pam using one. The volume markings on the side are really helpful. I’ve used it to make white bean chicken chili, and could easily see how many jars I needed to prepare.
Wonderful video. Still awaiting the launch of the IP Max in the UK :( Apparently, they are not going to now release the version you have but release the next generation :( In the meantime, I purchased a Swiss pressure cooker with a pressure monitor... Not ideal but it did pass the USDA recommended criteria and I'm on the coast, so sea level. I did consider moving to the US but it seemed extreme, just to have access to the best canners 😃
CLASS IS IN SESSION! I thought you two retired? 😘. You just changed the location of classes and I love it! Glad to see the comparison on pressure canners. I’m seriously considering the Instant Pot to add to my Presto manual pressure canner, especially for smaller amounts of things when I get an opportunity. Jim, next time you go to Costco, check out the seriously reduced price on Office for members. It includes Excel as well Word and the est of the suite. Last time I bought it, it was $59-69 for a 5 seat family license.
Thank you! I love my old presto canner. I have the instant pot max. I've only used it twice. The keep warm button stayed on for my first canning. After 2hrs I got the courage to turn that off. It had steamed out. The food was fine. Then I tried canning potatoes. As soon as I heard the steam come out, I turned the keep warm off. I was shocked to see that all the liquid was gone from the jars. Every jar had no water in it. That worried me. Thank goodness it was just 4-pint jars. I've been nervous to try it again. I keep going back to my old presto canner.
Make sure when you start the canning session on MAX you turn off the keep warm button in the beginning. It usually doesn’t take 2 hours to come down so if you waited that long you are safe.
Thank you! I just watched the canning police video and then found this one. Since I now know that you do scientific research on canning I feel a lot better about considering an electric pressure canner. I will have to look for these models and your other videos about this topic
Hi Jim
A while ago I asked you on how to control the temperature when pressure canning on a glass stovetop. Not realizing you cook on outside burner stove
I have a 16 quart Presto pressure canner and cook on electric glass top stove. Found out very difficult controlling temperature during canning process. Finally found someone who explained exactly how to slowly decrease temp and works great for me. Check
The Mudbrooker beginner's guide to pressure canning. He even shows the stove buttons for us newbies to understand what numbers to refer to
I appreciate ALL your videos and like to see You in more videos.
Thanks again
J
I’m making vegetable soup for dinner tonight while watching you ☺️
We hope you enjoy. Let us know the results. Jim
@@RoseRedHomestead absolutely wonderful. Perfect for a cold night like tonight 💙
I wish I could find a video on comparing the different steam canners. The pot type vs the hat/cake cover/small pot type.
I love my carey electric canner . You set it and forget it..
I was already in love with my IP and purchased the Max based on your testing (yes, I have 2 now, lol). Absolutely wonderful for canning pints. I fell in love with canning and bought myself the Presto for Christmas 😂. There are some things just better in quarts. 😉
Also, have you considered switching to an All American Pressure Canner? I have a 21.5 quart All American and absolutely LOVE it!
I’ve thought about buying an electric canner for a couple of years now. Nothing has sold me on buying one. I have the 23 quart Presto Canner & am enjoying it just fine. It is huge for a short person 😂 but I don’t want to do batches in the electric because it only holds very few jars. I am single but I love canning enough up to share my canning projects. One being canned chicken. A lady in my office is struggling on “elegant economy” budget. I gave her some of the canned chicken & wouldn’t you know it, the winter storm hit our area. She said if the power had gone out, the chicken would have been served for dinner. So that’s my motivation to can big! 😊❤
You might Try Open office it has a spreadsheet and I do believe it can open excell spread sheets.
Thanks for the tip. Jim
Enjoyed the video :-)
So glad! Jim
Thanks for a great comparison. I have another comparison question that I don’t think you have ever addressed. For those items that can be canned in either a water bath canner or a stovetop pressure canner at low pressure (5#), I.e. tomatoes, jam, relish etc. what are the pros and cons of one over another. The pressure canner is less time for a single run but could you keep a water bath canner boiling and just take out one set of jars and put in the next with a large amount of jars? Does the pressure canner at 5# over cook the food compared to the water bath canner? Does one take significantly more fuel than another? I started with a pressure canner and have never actually tried water bath canning. I have also seen that there is a steam canner for water bath canning using steam and no pressure instead of submerging the jars the idea is that you use less water.
Thank you Jim, wanted to make a childhood favorite vegetable beef barley soup, but i was a bit uncertain. Much appreciated. 😀
Cherie C barley is a grain and not recommended to be canned. I’d add quick barley when opening the jar to heat & eat
@annswann1941 Hello, and thank you for the reminder. I know it has to be added before eating due to canning safety. I really do appreciate the reminder. God bless. 😊
@@CC..Jeremiah9_24 thank you for understanding that I was trying to help and not being rude. I love beef barley soup with mushrooms 😊 Enjoy!
After watching the video, I am still of the conclusion (a personal preference only) that I love my 23 qt. Presto and will stick with it instead of buying an electric. Thank you for such detailed learning. I love when you pull out your "gadget"! 🙂
I love my Presto too. I’ll never pressure can with anything else.
I love your scientific approach. It makes me feel safer buying a nesco canner knowing you have tested it so strictly
Thank you, Jim
I had my husband get the Presto canner for me fir Christmas. I am excited to use it. I have canned in the standard stove top canner fir years but I'm afraid tovuse UT on my glass top stove. It popped and went on the last time I canned.
Question - this soup looks like it has more solids and less liquid; I thought the rule is half & half. Is the appearance misleading or is there an exception allowing more solids?
Great video; I always appreciate your insights
We were not following the "canning your own soup recipe" where the USDA stipulates 50/50. Rather, we were using an older tested recipe that we then tested with my data logger to see if it was safe, which it was.
@@RoseRedHomestead thank you for clarifying
Thank you! ☺
Your comment on excel, have you tried open office? Their suite includes a spread sheet, writing tool, a database manager, a presentation tool and a drawing tool.
And by the way it is free!!!
That's a great idea! Thanks.
Now I finally understand why you are the woman with a gadget... I was wondering on occasions what that gadget actually is. 🙂
Different topic: I see you use frozen veggies. I do that, too, and get lots of criticism for it. However, my results with frozen veggies are very good AND, I believe that (unless you have a garden) they are superior to veggies that have been sitting on the produce shelves for days. Thoughts or opinions on that? Anyone?
I think frozen is just fine-as it allows you to harvest your garden, get it in the freezer and then can on cold winter days. No rush to do it all during a hot harvest time and be all jammed up. Enjoy canning your way!
Thk u so much. God bless u.
You are most welcome 😊 Jim
great
Yeah, Jim!!
Thank you both and have a Happy New Year 🥳
Hahaha I think any of us who use a propane cooker had almost burnt our eyebrows off. Glad Jim was find. The soup looks delish. As much as an electric canner would be handy,,..our power goes off so much, I just could t trust it. I have two. Stove top ones I use in our boot room on a similar type stove, great video as usual. Now to find frozen Lima beans ❄️🇨🇦❄️
I was going to say in the video for people to make sure they turn the propane on a just a little bit and and ignite and adjust the flame to medium high depending to your needs. The other option was to turn the propane on low and ignite at the same time and adjust from there. Oh, the other caution, stay away from the burner when lighting. I got the frozen baby lima beans at a local grocery store. Thanks for watching our videos. Jim
I know right? Just a second too late and you get a big vhoom. Our burner ignites with a handheld lighter, so I always have my lighter flame ready and close to the outlet before slowly opening the gas, thus ignitingbit ss soon as it peaks out. Afterwards I close the main source before turning the burner off to empty excess gas in the pipe as an extra safety precaution.
@@reniermeyer1866 yes mine lights the same way😊
Your soup looks excellent... Thank you
Good Morning
I just can’t tell you how much I LOVE you guys and ALL you do.
I am a loyal fan. I don’t miss a video
Please tell me where I can find those red mixing bowls(I need a new set) I just love them😊
Forever Grateful to you both
Thank you so much. The red bowls are on Amazon Store: roseredhomestead.com Jim
Hi Pam I love your videos. I’m allergic to potatoes so can I just leave them out?
That makes sense. Jim
Good morning from Wagoner Oklahoma
YES! I been awaiting for this one!
Team work!
I have a Nesco. Only 1 year warranty. The Presto has a 12 year warranty!
Good.
Thank you for being so helpful😁❤
I am going to be canning vegetable soup mix this week and for 50 years I have canned it,(soup mixture) in half gallon jars like my Kerr canning book said. I recently found out that the USDA says to can in quarts and pints not half gallons but I did not know why. When you talked about the kill zone I realized that must be it. I have always used an All American Canner which I love but half gallon jars must not stay hot enough to be safe. I am disappointed that I can no longer use half gallon jars but I want my food to be absolutely safe. So quarts it is. My recipe is like yours except I use green beans instead of limas. The reason is the first time my then youngest grandson when eating my soup looked at me and said "why would anyone want to ruin a perfectly good soup by putting Lima beans in it." I laughed and switched to green beans in the next batch. Now that he's older he likes limas but I just never switch back. Thank you for your videos. I enjoy them so much and they are always a learning experience.
Thanks for telling us about your experiences with canning. We are also happy that you are canning safely. Jim
