I have started water bath canning meats and I always refer to your channel when I do.im just scared if the power fails us then the meats in the refrigerator will be lost..I live in a three room apartment and I’m running out of room for storage but by the Grace of God I’ll make it. I am old school and am 69 going close to 70. But I do this for family and friends. Thank you so very much!
Our grandmothers & great grandmothers waterbathed everything they canned for hundreds of years, way before pressure canners were invented. Ive used water bath canning for over 40 yrs & no one has ever gotten sick or died, so I will continue to do so! You can never believe anything the USDA has to say about anything! Love your channel!
I can’t tell you how much i (we) appreciate what you’re doing for the Canning community. It’s so comforting and educational to walk through your experiences with you. There’s never any threats or fear mongering coming from you. You simply present the tested facts and then let people decide for themselves what they’d like to do. You’ve been a breath of fresh air to me personally. I can’t thank you enough for what you do. ❤❤❤❤. XOXO from New York.
You are the only youtuber in this genre that does this type of comparison video. If I could I would give you LEGEND Status. Thank you Skipper, you are a Godsend.
Thank you for reaffirming that cooked meat water bath method is the way to go. Also the difference in the broth was a factor as well. I come from generations of waterbath canners since glass jars became a thing and we ALWAYS did the precooked water bath method. My mentors were my mom and grandma and they have passed away with a lot of the old canning methods…pre USDA, so a god bit of information went with them. I thank God that I was able to can with them when I was younger but some of the tips and tricks faded with time and life. Thank you so very much for bringing back what was once lost. One of my aunts recently gifted me with an old pressure canner and I thought it would save me some time, however if you look at the time it takes to build up the pressure as well as maintaining it then the cool down time, it’s pretty much the same for processing. The biggest difference that I’ve seen is in the end product, it seems to me that pressure canning is over cooking the product lessening the nutritional value in my opinion, and let’s face some facts, just because the USDA says this or that does NOT mean that’s the gold standard as far as “safe canning practices” as our family for generations are LIVING proof. Everyone needs to do what they feel comfortable with and as for me and mine, I will ALWAYS waterbath as I see zero difference in time savings also the nutritional valve or any of the risks involved. Again, I thank you for showing the entire processes, the fails and the successes, it makes it a lot easier for folks to choose what “they” want to do.🌺🌺🌺
Your comment along with this information in the video has me in tears. I miss my grandma so much and all those dear ones who have passed. Thanks for your sweet, well written words. And thank you to Make it Make for making these videos. I’m new here so I don’t know your name yet, but thank you!
I love watching your videos. They have helped me tremendously as I am new to canning. You are one of the few that uses water bath canning which I think is great since that is how it was done back in the day. Thank you for your videos!!
I grew up watching my mom water bath lots of things. As an adult I wanted to start canning but was scared away with all the official information. I have a pressure canner and the one time I tried to use it 25 years ago, it didn't go well. I missed out on many years of canning until I found your channel. Thank you for all that you do!!! God bless!
I raw pack chunks of meat, I semi pre cook ground meats because I find that it “dewaters” them… the broth is amazing. I notice that pressure cooking the bone broth (aka grammas gold) ruins the gelatinous collagen in the fridge…they stay runny when they are pressure cooked but nice and gelatinous (until heating) when water bathed. Love your channel little gal! ❤
I cook my meat first then water bathe. Saves time. I do that with all my canning..meats, soups, stews, vegetables, whatever and all is delicious and family is yet alive. Don't believe the hype. In my seventies. Thank you and God bless you.
Could you please tell me on average the shelf life of home canned meat & broth? Im new to canning. Ive canned chutneys and jams for a couple of years but I want to do more if it has a decent shelf life?
I was just watching a Mennonite you tuber Zimmerman and she was talking about how they learned to can and she said that you don’t need to cover the tops of your jars with water to go only to the neck where the food is. The heat cooks it already in the jar so I thought you might want to know that and maybe watch her video. I love that you’re teaching and comparing. I’m learning a lot from you
@erinreasoner1367 I also watch Homesteading with the Zimmerman's. I remember a video where she said that, about not covering the jars completely with water. It was about the siphoning. To not completely cover the jars with water prevents the siphoning. Her and hubby from Amish Mennonite background.
Thanks for another great video! I’m curious about the taste of the broth. Do you notice a significant difference between the waterbathed and pressure canned?
I've absolutely love your Channel I tried to watch every video I'm in the process of canning Meats. I'm in the process canning beef, pork and chicken and deer meat now. Myself I prefer Rebel canning the meat tastes better and it's not burnt. I recommend your channel to all my friends.
I’m curious to know where the jar that opened was placed in the canner? Since the canner wasn’t full and the jars were off to one side, if the jar that failed was facing the side with lots of water, it received more “swishing” action from the rolling of the water during the boil. This is why it’s recommended to fill the canner full with jars, empty or filled.
i will precook up to 20 lbs. burger at on shot and package into sandwich bags to then put in a one gallon freezer bag. this is why i love your channel , cause i think i can, i think i can i think i can can like this.☺️ and save freezer space. and yes i use the natural juice in the bags , no sense waisting good fat. im on carnivore diet and meat is what im mainly interested , but would love to know other stuff also. i'll be watching more of this channel. thank you.
Thank you for saving us all so much time by teaching all of your tips and tricks of the trade and recording all of these trials and errors. I have learnt SO much! Thank you! 🙏🏼 Keep making it make!👍🏼👍🏼
It's canning season again and I'm back. I wanted to tell you, I watched your videos last fall, and I water bathed chicken and beef. It turned out wonderful. Thank you.
I water bath and pressure can foods to put up for coming winter months in Maine, I work at a local food pantry where fresh garden produce is abundant this time of year. Told some folks today that are learning the canning process about your videos. Love your ability to teach and explain so a child could learn . Its a gift that few have. When you love what your doing, it shows. Watching in Maine,, Rusty
The canned hamburger meat I made without liquid smelled exactly like Alpo. So, I started adding salt, dried beef broth, and then water to my jars. After it rehydrated, add the meat and then can. The results were much better.
I know it's too late but for future don't throw away that jar that opened of meat. Spread it out on a cookie sheet and put it in the oven on low for a couple of hours. Then freeze.
@daisymancuso275 if I may, I think the idea is just to let the excess water dry out so that it’s usable. Time and temperature will vary. I would try anywhere from 200 to 300; just check it every now and then.
Hi can someone tell me the shelf life of home canned meat? Im new to canning and have only canned jams and chutneys so far but I'd like to can more once I know more about it. Thank you 😊
I suspect the rings on your wide mouth jars was bouncing / knocking against each other during the cooking process, resulting in assisting your one ring to unscrew. This is a technique we use quite a lot on the farm in getting stuff that's stuck loose. Just lightly start tapping it with a hammer, it works. Same principle. Technical guy watching canning videos here...🤔
Interesting information, thank you for posting & sharing! I too have never had a ring and lid come of in the processing phase. What a bummer! The most interesting piece of info in my opinion was the chicken stock! The difference in color between the WB and the PC chicken stock was very interesting!! You really have me wondering about the taste now! I wonder if there is a noticeable difference in flavor. PLEASE let us know, I see other commenters are wondering the same thing! 😃Thanks again!
I love that you are doing these comparisons of WB and P canning! The ground beef I did was cooked first, then pressure canned. The texture was way too fine for me. I’m wondering if it would work better to make meatballs, can them and then break them up a little when I use them? Anyone have knowledge of this? The ground beef you cooked first and then WB canned looks like it kept its texture better.
Same problem. Going to try it again with a water bath. The flavor was good, but the pulverized meat is only good for Cincinnati Style Chili or the Skyline Dip.
It is my understanding that in pressure canning the actual temp of the food goes much higher than boiling which is why it's supposed to be "safer". I'm not sure if indeed it is "safer" or not but I do believe that it counts for the color difference in the broths.
I’m about to WB some carrots as well as some pork stew. Can’t wait to try the For Jars lids. I’ll be using that code for sure - thanks for that! Every penny saved counts.
I lightly cook my beef mince before pressure canning to drain some of the fat off. Less fat = less likely the seal will fail. I don’t enjoy the pre-cooking as it’s a lot of work, but I don’t can this meat very often, so I do what works best for me.
Great video! I am looking forward to you doing a taste comparison as well. I have only pressure canned precooked hamburger and while it tasted fine, it seems to come out in such small pieces that I only like it when making Cincinnati Style Chili, which has those tiny bits of ground beef. I was careful not to break my meat up too small before canning, but I think the cooking action broke it up. Haven't canned any since. Going to try again using the water bath method. I love having canned meat on the shelf, so I need to figure this out. I wonder if not canning a full load may have caused your jars to jiggle around more than normal and may have contributed to the lid and ring coming loose. I loved that you canned various things all in the same batch, which I had never thought to do. Sometimes I just have enough for a couple cans but could fill things up if I added other recipes. You always are an inspiration and such a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing!
I've pressure canned precooked chili and didn't like the texture and flavor of the ground beef. I'm wondering if it was raw packed if that would make a difference in the flavor and texture?
Hi and a very good morning, 😊 First can I wish you and your family a very Happy Christmas and all the for the new year, 🎉 Not sure if you can help, But I some times make Tomato Jam !!! Witch is delish !!! I can never get the proper amount of powdered pectin right, Have you made Tomato Jam 😊
Regarding the jar that lost its lid and ring. Just my opinion, based on my recent experience. You might want to take a close look at that ring. And if you do chose to use it again, mark it so you know it's the same one if it comes off again. Last year I bought 6 boxes of 12 rings and lids for my Gem jars because Bernardin announced they were discontinuing making them, and I wanted to have an extra supply. This summer I tried to use them. Every single ring is unusable. The ridges on those rings are not significant or deep enough to stay on the jar. In most cases, the ring can't be tightened at all, I can just turn the ring round and round. A few seemed to tighten so I used them, but by the time the canner was opened, the lids and rings had come off. 6 dozen rings, all garbage!
I was hoping she would try threading the ring on that same jar to see if it would tighten down after it failed. Thanks for sharing your disappointing experience
I bought 10 new cases of pints. I used the provided lids and rings.. I lost usually 1 jar per load, in both pressure and WB. Sometimes 2! What i noticed is? The center top of ring MUST BE flat. The rings that were slightly upwards? They let lid raise too much and shift. Just a smidge is all it needs, to fail! I also noticed and older ring that had been slightly bent towards oval shape? It didnt screw down ALL the way. With the advice of "only finger tight", that escaped my notice. Since i reuse rings? It got used over and over. Same with the new ones slightly raised! Thus my high rate of failures! Once i bent the raised new rings flat? My failures ceased. Same for the slightly oval one. I do NOT like Pressure Canning. Period. I lose contents out of jars even with great care of headspace. All over jars! Then my seals fail! Boy i have been having a bad time of it! I finally decide for PC? Screw it a BIT tighter than water bath. No more siphoning. I hate pressure canned end results. Colour is destroyed in my opinion. Everything is so dull! Yet water bath you can see colour. And identify the items in the mixed fruits or mixed relishes, etc. It is more appealing in WB.
I do the precooked hamburger meat in water bath also chicken broth. Pressure canning has never been the method my great grandmother or grandmother used. I don't own a Pressure cooker and can't afford one. And I don't know anyone who has a Pressure cooker and if they did knowone would loan it anyway. Im 64 years old and water bath canning has been the only way i have ever canned anything. I raised a large family with waterbath canning and we never had anyone become sick. When my grams told me 45 minutes i would go and hour. And leave my cans setting on the table for 72 hours and check them frequently. Pressure canning i have seen tins to take the color out or makes it darker. We never cared for the darking of the broths and some vegetables. One day if i ever get a Pressure cooker i would try it, but for now im very pleased with just water bath canning. And I always add my salt to the meat as im cooking it and some of the juice that comes from cooking it. It just to help keep the meat look better and the juice is used if using the meat to make stews, soups and chili. I drain it for casserole and set it in the refrigerator to add to something else. I know most people don't like to add the juice to other foods but if you're using beef broth it just gives it more favors. My son's had a hard time adjusting to their new wife's cooking if they were not from a canning family. Because they were use to the extra favors and meals made from scratch. My youngest son was quite upset over his pinto beans being maded from store bought canned pinto beans. And the corn bread was sweet. His new bride would put a tablespoon on sugar in her cornbread after i taught her how to make cornbread and i never put sugar in my cornbread.
Thank you for sharing this. Its so helpful. Im in the UK and new to canning. I have chicken bone broth on my stove as im typing this! Once its ready im going to can some in a water bath (can't afford a pressure canner). Would you mind giving me advice on how long the broth can last once canned? Im going to water bath for 3 hours. Im really hoping I get it right as I made a small bone broth last month and my sons loved how tasty it made my cooking. Im making a large batch now and I don't want it to go bad. Last time I had 4 jars so it all went in the fridge & I didn't can it but im hoping i can store some in my pantry this time.
Your canning water bath method is been very helpful to beginners like us. Thank you. Just one clarification. After canning using water bath method mentioned, is it okay if the product is left on the shelf at room temperature as you do it in the case of pressure canner or should it be stored in a dark place.
The raw pack that exploded, it exploded because it had no place to go, it expanded and blew the top off. I've had it happen to me with shredded carrots. I didn't leave enough room for expansion. My bad!
how much did the amish canner cost? would love to have something bigger. Saw a video of an ex-mennonite wb canning and she said they never covered their cans, only neck high
Would love some recipes for when you want to use your canned beef!? Have you already posted this and I just can't find it? If not would super love to see what you make with the beef that you've water bathed❤
Thanks so much for sharing this technique for Stevia! Did you start your plants from seed? I'm thinking about growing Stevia inside the house this winter....what are your thoughts on that? ❤your channel!
When you get a chance, will you do a video on WB bone broth, and compare it to your stock of pressure canned bone broth? One of the comments below got me thinking...do the PC bone broth lose their gelatinous qualities vs the WB canned ones?
Just a thought because I am not experienced in canning. When you added the second pot of water to cover the quart jars, it sounded like a jar lid popped - could that have been the jar that ended up without a lid and ring?
Hello my dear. Cooked my chickpeas in water and salt only. Poured it to a jar and filled with chicken broth. Yesrerday i had to discard the 4 jars 😢 because they were bubling and leaking all over the shelves. What did I go wrong? I did using the waterbath, perfect for me. Could you give me a hint what went wrong?
I make my own taco seasoning and I put some of that into the hamburger. Instant taco meat. I don't like the consistency of hamburger just plain. But for taco's it is awesome.
I have been having issues lately of my ring super unscrewing, it's been one per batch almost. I've been triple checking them all before processing them. I just have no clue. It must be something with the water boiling or the contents boiling that causes it. I've never had one completely pop off, but the contents are still getting in the pot. I've even lowered the liquid to just below the neck. 🤷
I’ve actually wondered if the lids/flats of some brands are being manufactured maybe a smidge of a hair of a millimeter smaller than usual, or maybe the rings are different somehow, though I have no real evidence of either. Sometimes when I’ve bought recent brands of flats, **TO ME** it seems that once the lid starts to pucker in, maybe the lid diameter is less than usual and then either doesn’t fit the ring any longer (allowing the ring to get more loose) or something like that. I’ve noticed that a lot of the rings I’ve used those lids on come out of both WB and PC fairly jiggly. Just my thoughts. These days I put my rings on finger right and just a smidge more. I wish I had some 10yo flats to do a comparison. But who knows…. maybe it’s the rings that are not fitting properly to begin with for some reason. Maybe it’s my user error, but who knows. Sorry to ramble so long, just my thoughts.
@@yoginimichelleh i have had this problem, with lids of new jars. They ARE smaller. They DO Shift. And i had this happen pretty well every load! Both Pressure and water bathing. I also notice on some rings? Thr center top areas ARE slightly up.i take the time to press them down flat? No more popped lis! The centers of ring needs to hold lid in place. In another ring which was slightly bent into an oval direction? It never screwed all the way down....
@@sgmarr sorry for the late response; I just saw the notification. All good points you have there! Yes, it seems we need to inspect everything even more closely than ever before.
I always wash my jars in hot, soapy,bleach water, lids also, when I can anything. I learned while working in health care that bleach is one of the best sanitizers around, and it kills just about everything
How long do you Water Bath - Meat/Potatoes/Veggies/Misc items (both raw & cooked) ... IF you use 1/2 pint jars??? I am only cooking for 1 person. Let's also add ... you have NO Electricity (Refrigerator). First time canning!
I personally think finger tip tight should be a little tighter than we do it-I've had jars immediately bubble out after I stick them in the canner and this doesn't seem normal to me-it makes me not trust that particular water bath. So-I think it's that simple about that jar's failure-just was not screwed on evenly or too loosely. The rest look great! Weird how the pressure canned broth looks so dark.(.btw dehydrating ground beef is another way to preserve and store food. MUST remove all the fat first by runn'ing through a sieve in hot water.Just used some of a 3yr old jar for chili-tasted fine-just have to soak awhile first in water.)
The raw meat didn't look like it completely cooked some looked lighter in some places. Is that OK. I've also had one lid not seal each time I can. I've checked the rim and lid was on? What do I need to watch? It's been waterbath and pressure canning 😢.
Raw pack works great for me. The hamburger crumbles easily. Never add water to raw pack meat. It makes its own broth. I made the mistake of adding water to hotdogs i was canning. The lids and rings blew off the jars in the pressure canner. I heard them blow off. What a mess when i opened the pressure canner. I do add broth to browned hamburger that will be canned.
Hello. So my question cause i was taught you have boilimg water dip jars and lids and havent seen anyone in a lot of videos doing this. Do you do that and if not why?
Hi, I have a question....Do you feed your chickens organic feed? Or are you using store organic meat? I read somewhere that you should not make bone broth if they aren't organic fed because the pesticides store into the bone marrow.
I have heard that about animal's fat, myself. And as a former farmer, just btw it's more likely herbicides that your getting the most of, along with vaccines and any routine antibiotics or antiparasitics, but yeah ( crops fed to animals don't often require pesticides in my experience/local observation, but it definitely happens some. My bff has an OG farm and they had some bug eating their alfalfa this year, but couldn't spray for it. Some OG farmers cheat a fair amount tho, btw. . There's a ton of rules and paperwork and yearly or more inspections, but the inspections aren't even surprise ones, and none of this stuff is tested for, unless the company buying it does their own testing, with the exception of milk and the routine things it gets tested for every pick-up).
Just wondering why you had to discard the jar that had opened during processing. By the looks of the meat in the video I would have cooked it thoroughly and threw it into a casserole or something. Seems logical that it had not gone bad at that time, just boiled.
I watch a lady on UA-cam who is Mennonite and when she water baths she only feels the water just below the lids so they don’t siphon. I noticed you put water over the lids. I don’t water bath myself anymore I steam can I use less water and it’s the same as water bath I really like that method
As a vaccum expert not in canning I think the rings are loose at the end because the lid is sucked down hard relieving the pressure on the ring. Most likely the kid 2as sucked down and the violent turbulence rattled the ring off but then there wasn't enough vaccum to hold the lid in place.
Because its done that way in most countries except USA. Most countries cannot even get pressure cookers let alone afford them ..The Amish only water bath, they know how to do it safely.
I have started water bath canning meats and I always refer to your channel when I do.im just scared if the power fails us then the meats in the refrigerator will be lost..I live in a three room apartment and I’m running out of room for storage but by the Grace of God I’ll make it.

WRT the ring being loose after processing, I think it is because the vacuum sucks the lid down. ie. the lid went down, not the ring going up.
You're correct.
Oooooh, ok! Thank you for this!
My thoughts, as well.
I was looking into waterbath canning broth and other things and your channel came up. You are wonderful.
Raw packed ground beef becomes a lump, and middle is uncertain on proper doneness, always COOK ground Meat before canning it! its the true safe way!
Thanks for another great video! I’m curious about the taste of the broth. Do you notice a significant difference between the waterbathed and pressure canned?
I've absolutely love your Channel I tried to watch every video I'm in the process of canning Meats. I'm in the process canning beef, pork and chicken and deer meat now. Myself I prefer Rebel canning the meat tastes better and it's not burnt. I recommend your channel to all my friends.

I like the look of the pre cooked ground beef better. And the chicken broth is beautiful.
The canned hamburger meat I made without liquid smelled exactly like Alpo. So, I started adding salt, dried beef broth, and then water to my jars. After it rehydrated, add the meat and then can. The results were much better.
I'm with you. I won't be canning it raw again!
Please have your friend on more often. She does bring out the best in you.
I know it's too late but for future don't throw away that jar that opened of meat. Spread it out on a cookie sheet and put it in the oven on low for a couple of hours. Then freeze.
That’s interesting like how low? 200 degrees? For 2 hours? Can you elaborate on how that saves the meat after a failed canning?
@daisymancuso275 if I may, I think the idea is just to let the excess water dry out so that it’s usable. Time and temperature will vary. I would try anywhere from 200 to 300; just check it every now and then.
Really appreciate ya sharing this info . Can u share some recipes own how to prepare the canned food also ?
Hi can someone tell me the shelf life of home canned meat? Im new to canning and have only canned jams and chutneys so far but I'd like to can more once I know more about it. Thank you 😊
I suspect the rings on your wide mouth jars was bouncing / knocking against each other during the cooking process, resulting in assisting your one ring to unscrew. This is a technique we use quite a lot on the farm in getting stuff that's stuck loose. Just lightly start tapping it with a hammer, it works. Same principle. Technical guy watching canning videos here...🤔
Interesting information, thank you for posting & sharing! I too have never had a ring and lid come of in the processing phase. What a bummer! The most interesting piece of info in my opinion was the chicken stock! The difference in color between the WB and the PC chicken stock was very interesting!! You really have me wondering about the taste now! I wonder if there is a noticeable difference in flavor. PLEASE let us know, I see other commenters are wondering the same thing! 😃Thanks again!
Thank you so much gor for all of your useful information.
Love it and I remember when you first got that water bath and I ordered mine thank you
So why did the color change in the pressure canner?
I love that you are doing these comparisons of WB and P canning!
The ground beef I did was cooked first, then pressure canned. The texture was way too fine for me. I’m wondering if it would work better to make meatballs, can them and then break them up a little when I use them? Anyone have knowledge of this? The ground beef you cooked first and then WB canned looks like it kept its texture better.
Same problem. Going to try it again with a water bath. The flavor was good, but the pulverized meat is only good for Cincinnati Style Chili or the Skyline Dip.
I’ve PC meatloaf, raw pack, and it had a fine texture. Reminded me of fast food ground meat. It was all one piece and sliced and tasted good.
It is my understanding that in pressure canning the actual temp of the food goes much higher than boiling which is why it's supposed to be "safer". I'm not sure if indeed it is "safer" or not but I do believe that it counts for the color difference in the broths.
South Africa ❤you
I’m about to WB some carrots as well as some pork stew. Can’t wait to try the For Jars lids. I’ll be using that code for sure - thanks for that! Every penny saved counts.
Ahhhhh logged on to re watch your picked eggs video and got a bonus!!!! Love it❤️
I lightly cook my beef mince before pressure canning to drain some of the fat off. Less fat = less likely the seal will fail. I don’t enjoy the pre-cooking as it’s a lot of work, but I don’t can this meat very often, so I do what works best for me.
Pressure canning runs at a higher temperature. This causes more nutrients to die off.
That. Was. Amazing. Thank you it was like watching a suspenseful movie 🤭 wow how exciting 🙌
I love your headband!! 😊
oh! The chicken broth comparison. Cool beans
Great video! I am looking forward to you doing a taste comparison as well. I have only pressure canned precooked hamburger and while it tasted fine, it seems to come out in such small pieces that I only like it when making Cincinnati Style Chili, which has those tiny bits of ground beef. I was careful not to break my meat up too small before canning, but I think the cooking action broke it up. Haven't canned any since. Going to try again using the water bath method. I love having canned meat on the shelf, so I need to figure this out.
I wonder if not canning a full load may have caused your jars to jiggle around more than normal and may have contributed to the lid and ring coming loose.
I loved that you canned various things all in the same batch, which I had never thought to do. Sometimes I just have enough for a couple cans but could fill things up if I added other recipes. You always are an inspiration and such a joy to watch. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you
I had that happen with a pint of peaches blow the lid once this year. I didn't tighten enough. I love your channel!
Love all your canning videos!
I LOVE YOU !!!
I've pressure canned precooked chili and didn't like the texture and flavor of the ground beef. I'm wondering if it was raw packed if that would make a difference in the flavor and texture?
Hi and a very good morning, 😊 First can I wish you and your family a very Happy Christmas and all the for the new year, 🎉 Not sure if you can help, But I some times make Tomato Jam !!! Witch is delish !!! I can never get the proper amount of powdered pectin right, Have you made Tomato Jam 😊
Regarding the jar that lost its lid and ring. Just my opinion, based on my recent experience. You might want to take a close look at that ring. And if you do chose to use it again, mark it so you know it's the same one if it comes off again.
Last year I bought 6 boxes of 12 rings and lids for my Gem jars because Bernardin announced they were discontinuing making them, and I wanted to have an extra supply. This summer I tried to use them. Every single ring is unusable. The ridges on those rings are not significant or deep enough to stay on the jar. In most cases, the ring can't be tightened at all, I can just turn the ring round and round. A few seemed to tighten so I used them, but by the time the canner was opened, the lids and rings had come off. 6 dozen rings, all garbage!
Oh man! What a disappointment!
I was hoping she would try threading the ring on that same jar to see if it would tighten down after it failed. Thanks for sharing your disappointing experience
I bought 10 new cases of pints. I used the provided lids and rings.. I lost usually 1 jar per load, in both pressure and WB. Sometimes 2! What i noticed is? The center top of ring MUST BE flat. The rings that were slightly upwards? They let lid raise too much and shift. Just a smidge is all it needs, to fail!
I also noticed and older ring that had been slightly bent towards oval shape? It didnt screw down ALL the way. With the advice of "only finger tight", that escaped my notice. Since i reuse rings? It got used over and over. Same with the new ones slightly raised! Thus my high rate of failures!
Once i bent the raised new rings flat? My failures ceased. Same for the slightly oval one.
I do NOT like Pressure Canning. Period. I lose contents out of jars even with great care of headspace. All over jars! Then my seals fail! Boy i have been having a bad time of it! I finally decide for PC? Screw it a BIT tighter than water bath. No more siphoning. I hate pressure canned end results. Colour is destroyed in my opinion. Everything is so dull! Yet water bath you can see colour. And identify the items in the mixed fruits or mixed relishes, etc. It is more appealing in WB.
I do the precooked hamburger meat in water bath also chicken broth. Pressure canning has never been the method my great grandmother or grandmother used. I don't own a Pressure cooker and can't afford one. And I don't know anyone who has a Pressure cooker and if they did knowone would loan it anyway. Im 64 years old and water bath canning has been the only way i have ever canned anything. I raised a large family with waterbath canning and we never had anyone become sick. When my grams told me 45 minutes i would go and hour. And leave my cans setting on the table for 72 hours and check them frequently. Pressure canning i have seen tins to take the color out or makes it darker. We never cared for the darking of the broths and some vegetables. One day if i ever get a Pressure cooker i would try it, but for now im very pleased with just water bath canning. And I always add my salt to the meat as im cooking it and some of the juice that comes from cooking it. It just to help keep the meat look better and the juice is used if using the meat to make stews, soups and chili. I drain it for casserole and set it in the refrigerator to add to something else. I know most people don't like to add the juice to other foods but if you're using beef broth it just gives it more favors. My son's had a hard time adjusting to their new wife's cooking if they were not from a canning family. Because they were use to the extra favors and meals made from scratch. My youngest son was quite upset over his pinto beans being maded from store bought canned pinto beans. And the corn bread was sweet. His new bride would put a tablespoon on sugar in her cornbread after i taught her how to make cornbread and i never put sugar in my cornbread.
Thank you for sharing this. Its so helpful. Im in the UK and new to canning. I have chicken bone broth on my stove as im typing this! Once its ready im going to can some in a water bath (can't afford a pressure canner). Would you mind giving me advice on how long the broth can last once canned? Im going to water bath for 3 hours. Im really hoping I get it right as I made a small bone broth last month and my sons loved how tasty it made my cooking. Im making a large batch now and I don't want it to go bad. Last time I had 4 jars so it all went in the fridge & I didn't can it but im hoping i can store some in my pantry this time.
Your canning water bath method is been very helpful to beginners like us. Thank you. Just one clarification. After canning using water bath method mentioned, is it okay if the product is left on the shelf at room temperature as you do it in the case of pressure canner or should it be stored in a dark place.
I like your headbands
The raw pack that exploded, it exploded because it had no place to go, it expanded and blew the top off.
I've had it happen to me with shredded carrots. I didn't leave enough room for expansion. My bad!
Finally, thank you!
How long are the meats and stocks shelf stable? Also same question but for beans, carrots and other veggies? 😊
how much did the amish canner cost? would love to have something bigger. Saw a video of an ex-mennonite wb canning and she said they never covered their cans, only neck high
Would love some recipes for when you want to use your canned beef!? Have you already posted this and I just can't find it? If not would super love to see what you make with the beef that you've water bathed❤
Thanks so much for sharing this technique for Stevia! Did you start your plants from seed? I'm thinking about growing Stevia inside the house this winter....what are your thoughts on that? ❤your channel!
When you get a chance, will you do a video on WB bone broth, and compare it to your stock of pressure canned bone broth? One of the comments below got me thinking...do the PC bone broth lose their gelatinous qualities vs the WB canned ones?
I still can't believe that lid came off. Really intriguing. Wonder what the shelf life is for the non cooked ground beef?
Just a thought because I am not experienced in canning. When you added the second pot of water to cover the quart jars, it sounded like a jar lid popped - could that have been the jar that ended up without a lid and ring?
The one with the lid & ring off is just boiled hamburger, it will be fine to give to you're dogs & cat.
Hello my dear. Cooked my chickpeas in water and salt only. Poured it to a jar and filled with chicken broth. Yesrerday i had to discard the 4 jars 😢 because they were bubling and leaking all over the shelves. What did I go wrong? I did using the waterbath, perfect for me. Could you give me a hint what went wrong?
Your headband!!!!!
Where did you get it?
Love your videos too! 😊
Lol I was about to make the same post. Love that headband.
@anelson78 @nacyraelemaster2726 her headbands look like a classic paisley cotton handkerchief.
I make my own taco seasoning and I put some of that into the hamburger. Instant taco meat. I don't like the consistency of hamburger just plain. But for taco's it is awesome.
I have been having issues lately of my ring super unscrewing, it's been one per batch almost. I've been triple checking them all before processing them. I just have no clue. It must be something with the water boiling or the contents boiling that causes it. I've never had one completely pop off, but the contents are still getting in the pot. I've even lowered the liquid to just below the neck. 🤷
I’ve actually wondered if the lids/flats of some brands are being manufactured maybe a smidge of a hair of a millimeter smaller than usual, or maybe the rings are different somehow, though I have no real evidence of either.
Sometimes when I’ve bought recent brands of flats, **TO ME** it seems that once the lid starts to pucker in, maybe the lid diameter is less than usual and then either doesn’t fit the ring any longer (allowing the ring to get more loose) or something like that.
I’ve noticed that a lot of the rings I’ve used those lids on come out of both WB and PC fairly jiggly.
Just my thoughts. These days I put my rings on finger right and just a smidge more.
I wish I had some 10yo flats to do a comparison. But who knows…. maybe it’s the rings that are not fitting properly to begin with for some reason. Maybe it’s my user error, but who knows.
Sorry to ramble so long, just my thoughts.
@@yoginimichelleh i have had this problem, with lids of new jars. They ARE smaller. They DO Shift. And i had this happen pretty well every load! Both Pressure and water bathing.
I also notice on some rings? Thr center top areas ARE slightly up.i take the time to press them down flat? No more popped lis! The centers of ring needs to hold lid in place. In another ring which was slightly bent into an oval direction? It never screwed all the way down....
@@sgmarr sorry for the late response; I just saw the notification. All good points you have there! Yes, it seems we need to inspect everything even more closely than ever before.
How to you water bath chicken broth please. Does it need extra vinegar and salt added
Do you get syphoning from the water being over the lids?
How long in the water bath for the chicken stock on its own?? Still 3 hours? I can't find an answer anywhere
Do you feel like adding whatsinthattheresauce would affect the canning of the ground beef?? Raw or cooked..
With water bathing do you tighten the rings
I always wash my jars in hot, soapy,bleach water, lids also, when I can anything. I learned while working in health care that bleach is one of the best sanitizers around, and it kills just about everything
How long do you Water Bath - Meat/Potatoes/Veggies/Misc items (both raw & cooked) ... IF you use 1/2 pint jars??? I am only cooking for 1 person. Let's also add ... you have NO Electricity (Refrigerator). First time canning!
I cooked my ground beef first than water bathed it, it still come out more chunky. But it tasted fine. I used it in a poor man’s stroganoff.
Plz put the name of the brand of lids when you display the discount image.
I personally think finger tip tight should be a little tighter than we do it-I've had jars immediately bubble out after I stick them in the canner and this doesn't seem normal to me-it makes me not trust that particular water bath. So-I think it's that simple about that jar's failure-just was not screwed on evenly or too loosely. The rest look great! Weird how the pressure canned broth looks so dark.(.btw dehydrating ground beef is another way to preserve and store food. MUST remove all the fat first by runn'ing through a sieve in hot water.Just used some of a 3yr old jar for chili-tasted fine-just have to soak awhile first in water.)
I have a question. If waterbathing chicken do you need to add broth since it is leaner then beef?
The raw meat didn't look like it completely cooked some looked lighter in some places. Is that OK.
I've also had one lid not seal each time I can. I've checked the rim and lid was on? What do I need to watch? It's been waterbath and pressure canning 😢.
Raw pack works great for me. The hamburger crumbles easily.
Never add water to raw pack meat. It makes its own broth.
I made the mistake of adding water to hotdogs i was canning. The lids and rings blew off the jars in the pressure canner. I heard them blow off. What a mess when i opened the pressure canner.
I do add broth to browned hamburger that will be canned.
Hello. So my question cause i was taught you have boilimg water dip jars and lids and havent seen anyone in a lot of videos doing this. Do you do that and if not why?
How long can you keep water, bath, meats, and vegetables on the shelf life??????
I keep asking this question too! Im new to canning. If you found the answer could you share it please?
3 hours for meats
@@thecockneycrafter3 hrs🙂
Can someone please tell me what the shelf life is Thanks in advance ❤
I would keep it for a year but other people have kept it for 5 years.
Thank you ive been looking for this answer all through the comments ❤
I have a quick question. When your waterbath meats is for 3 hours. If you do vegetables is it 3 hours for them too?
I personally like the look of the waterbath broth more
Which meat turned out better
Hi, I have a question....Do you feed your chickens organic feed? Or are you using store organic meat? I read somewhere that you should not make bone broth if they aren't organic fed because the pesticides store into the bone marrow.
I have heard that about animal's fat, myself. And as a former farmer, just btw it's more likely herbicides that your getting the most of, along with vaccines and any routine antibiotics or antiparasitics, but yeah ( crops fed to animals don't often require pesticides in my experience/local observation, but it definitely happens some. My bff has an OG farm and they had some bug eating their alfalfa this year, but couldn't spray for it. Some OG farmers cheat a fair amount tho, btw. . There's a ton of rules and paperwork and yearly or more inspections, but the inspections aren't even surprise ones, and none of this stuff is tested for, unless the company buying it does their own testing, with the exception of milk and the routine things it gets tested for every pick-up).
Just wondering why you had to discard the jar that had opened during processing. By the looks of the meat in the video I would have cooked it thoroughly and threw it into a casserole or something. Seems logical that it had not gone bad at that time, just boiled.
Eu doresc subtitrare în limba română. Te roooooooggg !
❤
I watch a lady on UA-cam who is Mennonite and when she water baths she only feels the water just below the lids so they don’t siphon. I noticed you put water over the lids. I don’t water bath myself anymore I steam can I use less water and it’s the same as water bath I really like that method
Did you wash your lids? It looked you just used them out of the box.
I'm convinced judging by the color of the broth after canning that commercial broth is water bath canned.
Ground beek tastes better canned when cooked somewhat.
As a vaccum expert not in canning I think the rings are loose at the end because the lid is sucked down hard relieving the pressure on the ring. Most likely the kid 2as sucked down and the violent turbulence rattled the ring off but then there wasn't enough vaccum to hold the lid in place.
Can u water bath ione soup ? I had asked in many videos. Hope u see this
What ione means?
How long did you waterbath
3 hrs. at a rolling boil.
Podria poner substitutes en español?? estoy interesada en aperender a conservar alimento
Because its done that way in most countries except USA. Most countries cannot even get pressure cookers let alone afford them ..The Amish only water bath, they know how to do it safely.
