And now I prefer canned meats cuts down on cooking times and is always tender. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I will help the best of my ability!

    Excellent! I just pressured canned some pork and turkey. I remember last year when you were water bath canning meat and I was amazed that it could be done this way! Then I watched several other videos of it being done. So! Next time I can meat I will be using this technique! We’ll be processing our meat birds in a couple of weeks and canning them. I will use this! I’m super excited!

      Well this way works for wood stove. I'd be scared to pressure can on wood stove. You leaving bone in when you process? I've done both ways. I actually like to boil the chicken off the bones and make stock to have a pre ready meal. Just boil noodles. I just did venison this way with a shoulder I boiled off the bone. Excited to see how it turns out. The only probpem I have using quart jars for premade meals is storage. My shelves were made for pints🤷‍♂️🤣😂 Glad your doing well!

      Glad to help! We had a hard time too when we first went off grid. My mom came down for a visit from Indiana and picked up a stomach virus. I freaked out and thought my meat made her sick. We all ate it she was the only one that got sick. 🤷‍♀️ Just all the bad things you read about waterbath canning meat. That was 3 years ago! We still waterbath can meat and have never gotten sick! Ice gets expensive! We buy it occasionally for drinks mostly in the summer. Just a thought too. I don't refrigeratorate my condiments either. Ketchup, mustard, mayo ect. The stuff you buy from the grocery store has so many preservatives.

    • @LeesArkansasBound
      @LeesArkansasBound  2 роки тому +7

      I usually do half inch of water over the jars but most European countries only bring water to the neck. I start out putting jars in cold water then bring to a boil. The timer starts after it has reached a full boil. But really it depends on what your canning. If your canning hot tomatoes that you just processed I would put in boiling water. Hope that makes sense.

    • @Polarcupcheck
      @Polarcupcheck Рік тому +1

      I am new to it, and what I learned is, there is mixed research about what kills botulinum spores, and it not efficient to kill by boiling, because the spores have been reported to survive 5-10 hours at boiling temp. The reasoning I see why water bath can be safe is the following:
      1. Boiling kills live botulinum bacteria.
      2. Boiling does not kill the spores.
      3. However, re-cooking and boiling for 10 minutes before eating will inactivate the botulinum toxin.
      Some add vinegar to the jars in an attempt to lower the pH and inhibit spore germination. However, research has shown that if there are small micropockets at a higher pH, the spores can germinate there and produce toxin. Looks like alot of people have been canning this way for generations with success, however.

      I have canned meat stored in my house and we do not have air-conditioning. It was 102°F yesterday and will be for the next week or so. I haven't had any problems. Just check the seal before you use it. When in doubt throw it out. I have had two jars go bad in the 3 years we have canned. One was bad lid. The other was I forgot to clean the rim. Both my mistake. I rotate my stock regularly We live with out refridgeration. I have kept meat for a year but not much longer just because I do not have alot of storage. We live in a 12x32 cabin. Eventually I will build a root cellar. But the temps will probably still be in the 70's in the summer. Just because it is so hot and humid in the summer. Hope this helps, this is how we live.

The lids I inspect before each use, the rubber on them are still good and the under side is enameled and not damaged.

    This week I just pressure canned pig meat, minced meat and chicken breast for the first time. It was a test of everything. The Presto cooker was fine, the meats were all okay, but when I opened the canner, and took the jars out of the cooker I discovered all, for one, lids had come loose. I used normal glas pots with a screw lid. Only the screw lid was not a single long thread, but several half inch small ridges. When you turn the lid to tighten it with the strength of a child's hand it would be enough, but because of the pressure and the workings inside the cooker most of the lids had come of their little ridge and couldn't be sucked into that vacuum. After 100 min. of pressure cooking I had to place the jars into my water bath canner for 40 minutes after I fastened the lids again with the same grip on the pots. This time they stuck. The test was a succes. The pressure canner was good, the meats were good only I didn't know I had to check the pots for that one longe thread of glas when I had ordered them. Nobody had ever told me about this. Soon I will order me some 2 part lids like you have, but they are hard to get in Europe. I saw some Killner, Ball and some French brand. I already did use Weck jars, with the rubber ring, but only for vegetables in the waterbath pot. I'm just starting with this canning stuff in case of war breaks out in the rest of Europe and in case of a great hunger is coming because of these so called sanctions against our biggest supplier of food, gas, oil, fertilizer, nuclear energy etc.etc.etc. but it's hard get any cheap meat or fish or vegetables nowadays, all prices are up 50-70% or in some cases doubled or tripled.
    I hope we can learn some more from you about this waterbath method. I heard the Amish also water-bathed their meats and fish. so rebel canning is just canning from experience I guess.

    I love the way you did this video. I always do my meat for 4 hours

      Well with wood heat it probably is 4hrs because it continues to boil. I just make sure I have a full boil for a minimum of 3 hrs. Thanks for watching and positive comment!
