- In this video I'm unboxing and testing my new Nesco pressure canner to see if it's worth all the hype! There were definitely some learning curves along the way that I wasn't expecting and after calling the Nesco help line I was back up and running again in no time. I hope you enjoy watching and that this may have inspired you to try your hand at canning or maybe even helped with the learning curve!
I too wish the inner pot was stainless steel rather than non stick coating. I had hoped to use it as a pressure cooker in addition to a canner.
❤❤❤ my Nesco!! I only use it for canning. Never had an issue with siphoning or failed seals. Just used the last of the hot Italian sausage I canned over a year ago. So good !!!
We have had a Nesco for almost two weeks but haven’t used it yet - life got in the way. Thanks for your video. Very helpful. Like you, I also watched RoseRed Homestead’s review and liked the results based on her testing with a Data Logger. Looking forward to canning chicken next week. Thanks again.
I’ve had that happen to me and got scared but I then switched it to airtight and it continued to count down.
I love my Nesco!
Thank you for this helpful review. I think they could provide some of these explanations in their booklet.
Thank you for the great information. I wish I'd have watched this before I used my Nesco the first time. I had the same issue as you and started researching UA-cam for help. Your video answered all my questions.
I’m glad! 😃
Patience, grasshopper! The digital will chase for sometimes up to 20-30 minutes! I have loved my Nesco for 3 years. I’ve never had any siphoning issues or a failed seal.
Wow, that’s awesome! I didn’t even realize they had been out for that long now. I really hope bigger ones start to make their way to the shelves soon
My reason for wanting to purchase one is like you said, more frequent canning. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for the information. Very informative. Nice to see it done before I actually do it myself. Thank you very much!
I'm so glad it was helpful!
I love my Nesco canner!!
Thank you
The steam can damage your cupboards. I always use mine on the table.
Yeah, I was worried about that! I started putting a towel over the top as the steam releases but I’m not really sure how safe that is so I started using it strictly on the island now.
I bought the presto digital canner last week and my experience is that it beeps until you do the next step, (fill jars, heat jars, put weight thingy on so it pressurized) it doesn’t move ahead.
Yes, I’ve noticed too that the time it takes to get to pressure can vary depending on how hot the jars are when you put them in. Which makes sense but I definitely thought there was something wrong a few times when it seemed to take forever!
So it’s not a concern you need to can 75 minutes ,but it doesn’t start until you close the valve to start it processing 70 minutes?
I was really wanting someone to talk about the Non Stick coating. It seems like most of the pressure cookers have stainless steel now. The vinegar makes a lot of sense. Thanks
Stainless steel would have been so much better! If they came out with a replacement pot I would consider getting it in stainless.
What did you put in the jars besides raw chicken? I just bought one of these and am very green to canning. Thank you for this video it helped me a lot!
I've used herbs and seasonings (no sage though) salt and pepper. Came out great.
I have ine of these and i absolutely love it for canning, ive had it about a year or so and never actually cooked in it lol
I haven't cooked in mine either. If the nonstick coating wasn't flaking I might consider it if I had a particularly busy cooking day. I wonder if they'll come out with a stainless steal liner pot for them.
@@stateroutehomestead yes stainless steel would be so much better
Can anyone comment on how much of the canning water is lost during processing? Two quarts drops to around two cups in the bottom below the rack. Is that okay?
My concern is, if water can come out like in you chicken example, what is stopping micro toxins from the coating from getting in?
I have contemplated getting this brand but was concerned the lid is hinged and doesn't come off. Have you found this to be a problem for cleaning it? Thanks.
Nope, no problems! It’s a little bit awkward to do but the lid comes off for cleaning. It slides off of the hinge once it’s open.
@@stateroutehomestead thank you. That is helpful to know.
I got a nesco a few days ago. im not sure if im keeping it.
The seal hasn't sealed in the beginning the 3 times I've used it.
I saw steam coming out in the front and knew it wasn't right, so i cut it off and wiped the rim and the seal and restarted all 3 times.
1st time I had two bad seals
2nd time none
3 time the lids kept popping sealed then the broth bubbling would push it back up. It was popping up and down. And i let it cool slowly but all sealed.
No siphoning though
I am curious, did you use Qt Regular Mouth Jars instead of Wide Mouth?
@jackscrafts9202 it was the seal on the canner that wasn't sealing correctly so I warmed it and oiled it and seems to be working right now.
But to answer your question it was wide mouth qts
thank you@@lchan2129
My first unit did something similar, but I contacted customer service, and they were fabulous! Melissa took me through several steps to decide whether it was user error or a defective machine. She authorized a replacement (which took a while...backordered...must have been a popular Christmas gift).
@pamelameyer5371 I washed it in warm water and oiled it, and wiped off the oil, and it worked fine. But I thought in the beginning I was sending it back. Now, every time before use, I oil it .
To bad they didn't come up with a stainless-steel insert...I would have paid the extra for it. I won't be cooking in the aluminum insert it comes with.
question did you just put chicken in the jar nothing else?
I poured the hot broth I was cooking it down with over top of it but just chicken besides that!
