Use one teaspoon canning salt (free of anti caking agents or other foreign substances) per pint of water to make sterile normal saline which is a fantastic wound wash.
I bought mine brand new and never used it. Your video is inspiring! Thank you
I am a pressure canner virgin! This video was exactly what I needed as I recently purchased this same canner. The directions that came with it were lacking on how the weight gauge worked and how to test it. Thank you so much!
New to canning so I'm binge watching all your canning videos!
When my mother gave me her old canner last year, she took it to the county extension office. They tested it for her. And told her the pressure gauge was not reading correctly. Bought a new one, and I was good to go. Last year was my first year canning. Love your channel. Happy new year and thanks for all you do!
Happy new year!
I would LOVE a video on test running a new All-American canner!!!!!🤗💖
First time canning with a pressure canner and was extremely intimidated until watching this video!
I have this canner, too, and using it the first time was a nightmare due to lack of instructions in the booklet. To make matters worse, I couldn't find anything online that even resembled it. That was about 7 years ago, and it has been sitting in the cupboard ever since. I'm planning on a lot of canning this year so it's time to dust it off and getting it steaming, and videos like this are a big help. Time to dive back in, with a great deal more assurance than I started with.
Happy Canning! So excited for you!
I just bought a presto canner. It was nice to see you do the test run. Thanks.
congratulations!😁👏🏻❤️
I have watched several times when channels made special foods for the month. Mandy Moore, Leisa Sutton, Angie and you.
Dear Heather, back when Covid started. I felt the need to get back into canning but I had never pressure canned before. I ordered a 16 quart Presto Pressure Canner from Amazon. And I paid way too much for it at that time. LOL
My canner arrived and I was scared to use it until I came across this video! Wow I was soooo excited! Well the rest is history. I love pressure canning! And you have taught me well! I want to thank you so much for this video! This is a great beginner video! And It gave me the confidence I needed to try pressure canning! I can’t tell you how many times I watched this video LOL Thank you so much for all you have taught me. I deeply appreciate it!
I now feel like I can share my knowledge and experiences here on CZcams and have been creating videos. Soon I will posting my first canning video and it is all thanks to you! God Bless you in every way! Sincerely, Shauna AKA Nana The Canner 😁
Thank you. My used canner has been setting my cabinet for forever. 💙
Buffing the lid will bring it back so nice& shining without any more scratches.
Love the way you break everything down and make it easy to understand. I am planning on getting a canner next year when we move and I build my garden. I am so excited to start planning everything I want to do. You have taught me so much Heather, thank you!
Thank you for doing this video. I'm new at canning. I originally purchased an All American Canner and watched several of your videos before feeling confident enough to begin canning. Once I did, I came to realize it was too large for my electric stove to bring the weight up to 15 pounds which is required for my attitude. I sadly returned it but then purchased a 16 quart Presto. Was happy to see you doing a test run of this brand of canner for those of us who don't have the All American Canner. Thank you!
Oh my goodness! Now you WILL have two 15 quart canners. YAY. You will so enjoy those. I love mine. They heat up and cool down so much faster than the larger All Americans too. How exciting. Yes, I want to see your newest baby. xoxoxo from Ohio
So helpful, have waterbathed for years, never had a pressure canner, found a vintage 1971 12qt presto canner cooker at good will for $7.69, small but large enough for us, ordered new gasket and air vent, you did a beautiful job of explaining every step, thank you.
Thanks so much for doing this video on testing a used pressure canner. I''ll be on the lookout for one in the near future.
I just found an old 16 qt canner to add to my 23 quart canner to make quarts and jelly/jams...so excited!! Thanks Heather!!
I just got my new Presto Canner. This was helpful to me just to know what to do. Now gotta learn about the pressure.
We just got one of these! Can't wait to use it!
Congrats on your new canner!!!! Great demo on testing used canners! Thank you!
I bought one of these 7 yrs ago, said I was going to get into canning and was gonna get serious about it. I had a water bath canner and had been using it 4 or 5 yrs. Then I fell into a really bad depression and everything went downhill. Then 4 yrs ago we had a house fire. My husband found it the other day in his shed. He said it needed replacement parts but it should be fine. I ordered them so we'll see. I will be referring back to this when my parts come in and I do a test run. TY so much for the video.
I thought this was wonderful and I don't even can. You were so thorough...every step explained...reminded me of being examined by a doctor. Great video...keep it up. I can't wait to see the new canner.
awww thanks Vicki!🥰💋
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! For posting this♡♡♡ I have a brand new Presto Pressure canner 16 qt.... had NOOOO idea how to even use it until this video. It has a weight too and I'm so thankful you used the weight. I'm feeling super confident now. Getting excited♡ about to go pressure can 30 lbs of Pueblo Green Chili's and 40 lbs of homegrown corn! Cannot wait for more canning videos again! Praying for a fast recovery!
I'm a little late to the party and I am very green in the canning or food preservation arena. This was so helpful. I followed right along with you doing a test run on some fresh green beans with smoked turkey and baby potatoes (All precooked except for the potatoes). I still have some time left after setting the 30 minute timer. I do feel pretty good about them. Thanks for making it easy to follow along with.
Thank you so much for this video! I just bought this exact canner, and it’s my first time pressure canning! I’m so intimidated, and this video is exactly what I needed. I’m actually running a test run right along with the video! You’re the best! ☺️
This video was very helpful! Thank you for making it!
I bought a used 16 qt canner today. Thanks for info on test running it.
Continuing to watch your playlist.
I can't wait to see what you have in store for us. What a way to start off the new year. :-)
Thank you for this video. I’m just learning how to use my new canner. You video was such a help, thank you🙂
Yes, please do a test run. Can't wait for Jar It Up January!!!!!!
Prayers sent.
Thank You for doing this test run....I found one just like this....can't wait to try it out!
Good luck!
Yes please do
Thank you for your hard work 😓
We all love ❤️ u and your family
Hi so happy to see you. Can't wait for jar it up January. Thank you!
hey Brenda!😁❤️
Watching pressure canner videos is like watching water boil, no pun intended. Lol I bought this same one brand new in the box for $25 Bucks
Ok Eddie, that made me laugh!!!!! and WOW, Whata deal!!!!! Happy Canning and Merry Christmas!!!!
I do have a question ,the little pop up lock ,does it also indicate that air is out and the pot is full of all steam ,and i should wait till it pops up before putting the weight jiggle thingy on right?
This is such a helpful video to new canners! I remember how stressed I was the first time I tried out my presto
Just wanted to say thank younso much for making this video. I have never used or seen a pressure cooker before but after 4yrs of wanting to get one i got this exact canner this week brand new. I tried to use it today and i could not get my jiggler to work. I think maybe it has something to do with not letting the air out for 10minutes in the beginning but i will try again tomorrow. Im a visual learner so this video definitely helped me alot :) thank you so much :)
Thank you so much!! I am a first time pressure canner and was scared!! You helped me so much!!!! Thank you!!
New to pressure canning, I just did a test run with you! Thank you! I needed a visual..lol.
My husband just got me a new 915 Presto pressure canner today after we found out my glass/ceramic top stove is rated for canning! I will be canning tomorrow! 😃👍🏻
Thank you so much for this great video. Love the step by step instructions.
Love my presto works great haven't had any problems
This is so helpful! I learned to can from you. Now I’m ready to finally use my pressure canner. I have been using my water bath canner for a while now.
Very interested in seeing you run a test on the new canner, Heather. Please!
I haven't canned in about 7 years. I am retired now and just wanted to get a refresher for my 16 qt presto. Thanks so much for this video. It answered all of my questions.
Happy Canning!😁
Super great video... exciting just to watch this... beautiful canner... also nice stove
Thank you just got my presto yesterday for this year garden season. Always water bath so you took all my fears away with your step by step instructions again thanks you took all my fears away
Best of luck!
This was So Helpful for me because I’m a Newbie to canning. I just got the Presto Canner with the weighted gage. I’m going to test mine out just like that.
Great job. Very informative. Hoping to see you back very soon, healthy, strong and full of energy, both in spirit and faith. G-D Bless.
I have this canner and also a glass top electric stove. At first I was removing the canner from the burner for cool down but found that it was too fast and my jars were siphoning. Now I leave it on the burner just turn the burner off. I go very slow in reducing the pressure and that has worked for me. I did a test run before I used my canner so I could find my sweet spot on the burner to know where I can turn it for the duration of the canning process. Great video, thanks!
just bought a pressure cooker so excited!
I am super excited to watch jar it up!! I have never pressure canned and cant wait to try! I would love to see an unboxing :)
I have one and just got my second one. Yay. Ready for January
woohoo!!!! bring it onnnnn! congratulations!!!!!
Yes show us a test run of the 915!
This is so helpful for me! Hugs Heather❤️
Yes please I’d love to see a test run...I’ve been considering getting the little sister to my all American 🤣
More information we get the easier it gets to learn to can! Thank you!
Watching and praying for you and your family.
New to the channel :) Just got some used canners this summer, this was so helpful! Thanks for Sharing!
Thanks for doing this...so need to do a test on one I picked up at a local thrift store.
My canning supplies come Fri so I'm excited to watch your days and Linda's. I'm just water bath canning. I'm making your grape jelly recipe. I'm scared a little but looking forward to trying it. 😊
woohoo! nervous is good!!!! means you're paying attention and care!!!! 😁👍🏻 you will become addicted!😆
@@TheKneadyHomesteader I'm doing small batches because it's just my husband and I. I'll be paying close attention on your days plus I'm reviewing all your videos and Linda's too. Think of all us newbs while you're canning. 😁 You're probably right, I'll get addicted. LOL 😉
And an expert!!! :-)
Oh my goodness, that's what I have but I have the gauge. I can't wait for Jar it up January ! 3 quarts is spot on
Oh Heather,that is a nice pot. And showing us which is wise to see if it works properly before you put the real decoy inside and find out it leaks or whatever. I’m so glad it was successful .Looking forward to your unboxing new one. I’m excited too my friend. 👍👍🌹🌹
happy new year Rosemary❤️💋🥰
Would love to see your test run! 😊
That’s a good little canner Heather.
Great presentation, thanks!
Awesome !!! Thank you for educating me...because of this I have learned that UGA is in cooperation with our local extension office.. I'm a happy girl !!!
Glad it was helpful!
HIYA sister friend :-D (Although, I am old enough to be your mother. LOL!) I just celebrated my 65th birthday at the end of November.
About 30 years ago, my mom gifted me a Presto pressure canner. Mine was a bit different model, with a handle on it, and the lid had a handle on it, too, so that when you put the lid on it, and lined up the handles, it locked in place. I noticed something on your pot ... there is an L-shaped bracket located inside, between the 2 handles. That is how mine looked inside. I could not see the entire inside when you held up the cover, but, I'm sure if you look closely, you will see the "locking latch" in the rim. It looks like a flat lip as wide as the bracket inside. If you can't find it, shake the lid, and follow the sound. When you twist the cover, those two should line up. Now ... I told you all that just to tell you this: on my model, (and it might not be the same for yours, IDK), there were problems with the locking mechanism not unlatching. In which case, you will not be able to remove the lid. All is not lost, though. Simply take a butter knife, and carefully reach down inside to release the latch from the bracket. I had a corned beef brisket in mine, so it didn't matter if I was jiggling it around a little bit. I cannot imagine how you would do it with it being full of canning jars. You might need a second set of hands.
I just thought maybe you, and others, might want to know if this would ever happen to you.
I haven't done any canning since the gardening season of 2014. My mom came to live with me in June of 2015, and the majority of my time was caring for her. As far back as I can remember, I was always there in the kitchen with her, helping her can, freeze & dehydrate. Her methods were different than today's, but, they worked ;) It's going to be tough for me to haul out the canner again, because now she's not here to either do it with me, or even be present in the kitchen when I am. January 10th will mark the one year anniversary. She was 92. It's been quite the mountain to climb this past (almost) year. :`( Thank you for doing this series *Jar it up January*. You have given me the inspiration I needed. You're very special to me. I hope you know that! We used to watch your videos together. She LOVED it when I tried your recipes!!! She especially loved the cinnamon raisin bread. I know my mom would want me to get back into the swing of things. I'm going to try my best ...
God bless you & your family
Hugs to you 💕
@@monicag.1527 Thank you, Monica G. Hugs to you, too!
Our pressure canner is very similar, and has served us well for many years... Thank you for sharing your thoughts !
Happy New Year Mark and Tina!😁💋💋💋
Thank u I got a canner like the one u did in this utube. I will do a test run like this.
Great video on test run! Continued prayers
Great video Heather! It's good to have more than one canner. Happy New Year!
I am so happy! bring on the canning projects now!🤣 Happy New Year, beautiful Mama. ❤️💋
@@TheKneadyHomesteader I'll be watching for your videos!
I love my Presto Canner. It's the one I use. Works great
she rocked so quietly! hahaha my all american is so LOUD! hahaha
I love my Presto 32 quart and have used it for years without fail. I recently inherited 2 very used All American canners that are much smaller and I’m excited to clean them up and get them ready to use. Thanks for the info. Heidi at Rain Country and Suttons Days have also had videos on used canners. I’ll be looking for Paul’s as well. Thank you again! Always good information. God bless. 🥰
What a gift!!
I have two of these, they work well. I run both at the same time! I just bought another one from the 1970's at a thrift store for $10. Need to put it to the test. I will be canning soon. Happy New year!
What a score!!
That is an AWESOME stove!! 👋
YES' please show the 915 as I am new. Happy New Year.
A test run on your 915 would be great! I plan to purchase one. Thanks for sharing.
I have that canner. I had my moms from years ago and I bought myself a new one this year too. I also found a bunch of old jars and ran a test run with water in them to make sure they were all good.
Congratulations Jill! Happy Canning, girlfriend!😁👏🏻❤️
That's the way to do it. :-)
Yay! So helpful
Yes, I would like to see the 915 test run. Pressure canning is totally new to me and I need to overcome my fear of using one.
I am so excited! I just watched this because my hubs got me a Presto for Christmas. But on your suggestion I checked Facebook and found a gently used All American 910!!!!!! Squeeeeeeeee!!!!
i am dying inside!!!!😱👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 i am SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!!!!!!😆👏🏻👍🏻❤️💋
Go canner go!! This really was a great learning video!
🥰 love you!
Whoot Whoot Matt! Great guy. I got a vacuum. So excited! For 915
he is so wonderful to me 🥰 two canners will be a game changer!
And...I'm here again. YES. Do a run on the new All American. Pretty Please.
😆 Hi Karen!!!!!💋❤️ You got it!
Yay! You got it!
Yes , please do another test run
you got it!
My mom only used Presto I've only used All American wouldn't trade it. LOVE my All American!
Ooh I’d love to see the 915. I have the 921, then got the 930 so I can double stack quarts since I do allot of big batches. But I’m wishing I also had a 915 lol. Is there ever too many? Is there?? 😉
neverrrrrr!!!!!🤣
Had to subscribe. Thank you for sharing
thank you so much🥰
Good morning! I just found your channel and so glad I did. I just received my all American 921 pressure canner and this video was perfect to get me started. However now that I see your 915 , I wonder if I should have gone a little smaller. I will be putting my canner to this test this weekend. Looking forward to going through some of your canning videos for guidance going forward.
I am knew to pressure canning, although I have done water bath canning before, I can hardly wait to start. I purchased a New 23 qt Presto Induction Canner. The reason I did this is that I have a smooth top stove and wanted the extra heavy base as I have heard some of the regular canners can have issues on smooth top ranges. At least with the induction canner I can use it on every type of stove out there. I am hoping to get a Gas Range when we move to our newer home ;-) Thanks for the video it was really helpful.
Can’t wait
MY WIFE WATCHES YOU AND IS QUITE HAPPY WITH YOUR SITE..WE MOVED TO FLORIDA IN 1983 FROM TEMPERANCE, MI. KEEP UP YOUR GREAT WORK WE APPRECIATE YOUR SHOW. MY WIFE IS NEW TO CANNING.
That is awesome! I hope she loves it and it blesses you both!
I have this exact canner, which I bought new about a year ago, just before I bought the 921. It's a great little canner, and I like the fact that it's lighter weight than the 921. Because I have this one, I'm leaning toward purchasing the 910...but the 915 is a possibility. Decisions, decisions, decisions! lol
Watching from Victoria Australia, loved your video ive subscribed, i would have liked to have seen the flame under the pot, when you reached that sweet spot just to get a fuller picture, I've bought an all American canner waiting for its first use, im so excited to start saving food for a later date, easy dinners. As i have seen this video 11 months after it was made i am going to go find your next one testing your American canner, sharing information is what we all should be doing 🌹
Please, please, please!!! Lol! Would love to see the 915!
Thank u so much for this video I got a used canner and haven’t done anything with it other than I got a new gasket for it I have not used a pressure canner yet.
oh congrats! well now give that pretty thing a good test run with a pint of water. see how she does. 😁👍🏻 congratulations!!!!
