I just wanted you to know; I just watched your video for the heck of it. I am a seasoned pressure canner. I do very little water bathing. So I was just sitting here, cruising the videos and decided to hear you out. After a few minutes, you said something that me laugh and roll my eyeballs! I started laughing because: in my lifetime, I have cut, sliced, diced, and cubed tomatoes. However; every time I would encounter a tomato, the battle was on! I always squished them a tiny bit while cutting! I kept sharpening my knife to finish the tomatos! When I heard you say, "use a serrated knife" I could not help but laugh. Because that's exactly what I needed to use but never did! I don't know why I never thought of that! I am 77 years old and just want to say: You are NEVER too old to learn something! Thank you so much for your video. It is an excellent tutorial video for a beginner canner. But even so, we old seasoned ones CAN learn something occasionally. Thank you so very much. God Bless!🤗
Yes! It can be dangerous. But if you keep your workspace and tools clean and follow tested recipes, canning is safe and a great way to put food by. 😊 Thanks for watching!
You want to wait until they’ve cooled and you think you already have an established seal. (If you do it right away while the product is cooling, it may not have sealed just yet.) Then you can gently unscrew the ring and lift the jar by the lid. If you’re able to do so, you have a good seal.
I do not recommend doing that. I always let mine sit until they are cool. When they are completely cool, I test the seals by removing the ring and holding the jar up just by the lid. You can store them with the ring off if you like.

You made my day! Thank you so much for sharing. You are right, we can all learn from each other every day!
Great video and super cute dimples
Finally, directions even I can follow....thanks for a great video tutorial on how to do this safely....
I'm glad it was helpful.
I loved your point about "don't just get recipes off the Internet" this is so true!!!!

Thank you for a very instructive video and for having such a wonderfull personality!!!
Thanks very much for watching and your nice comments!
I often have a towel on the bottom of my canning for lifting. It is a good solution if you don't have something handy.
Yes, that works great too!
What is the name of that silicone ring in the pot?
Just search for a silicone trivet that will fit the bottom of your pot. There are quite a few with big gaps in them.
I have heard that you can take the ring off right away and that enables you to know if you have a good seal or not. Is that true?
