    I live in Romania, we waterbath since forever. You can't find pressure canners here. I only heard about altitude difference last year, here on youtube. The lids are also different.
    I remember canning days when I was a kid it was a community thing. We helped our neighbors, they helped us.

    Im in Australia and I have an old 1950s Australian Fowlers jars recipe book (our version of the ball mason jars) and in the book it also states 3 hours to waterbath low acid foods, meats, veges, stocks etc, the guy who produced the fowlers jars was originally from England and he had all the recipes tested for for food safety back then.

    Water bathing was always the way I saw it done when I was a child over 50 yrs. ago, never got sick. I was always wondering why people in the US seem to have an aversion to this. I guess it's all to get you to buy buy buy and not trust the tried and true methods of yesterday and now it seems there is an agenda to commercialize everything so that you can feel helpless and unsure about everything and anything. THANK YOU FOR DOING THESE VIDEOS. THEY'RE SO INFORMATIVE. LOVE THEM.

    Hello, I'm from Germany and I've been making preserves for 35 years. Always in a water bath. I learned it from my mother and my grandma (born in 1901). But even here in Germany, the instructions of the USDA are leaving their mark. Suddenly videos appear where we are told that we will all die if we boil meat and vegetables in a water bath and only a pressure canner from the USA saves us from it. You can't buy one here because it doesn't meet the German standard and is therefore considered dangerous. And even the German Federal Office for Nutrition is questioning the traditional cooking methods and now says instead of cooking for 2 hours, it is better to cook twice for 1 hour and let it rest for 24 hours in between. It's getting crazier in this world. Next up, probably, is banning canning to make the industry more profitable.

    You look so much more confident in this video! Good for you! I always wondered how people canned so long ago as well as questioned all the USDA regulations. Sometimes people act as if other countries/cultures don't know what they're doing. I love America but sometimes I feel like we can act like the know all be all on everything, as if other countries haven't been doing this for centuries. People can "rebel" can butter, cheese, milk and other things but when it comes to meat then the USDA can't possibly be wrong.😒 The USDA isn't the Holy grail, but unfortunately if it is for you then just don't water bath can meat. Simple as that.

When I started canning, I just felt I wanted to carry on my family tradition of canning. Everywhere else in the world does water bath, only in the US will they go out of there way to insist you pressure can which in turn, a lot of people don't can, because of the costs of pressure canners. Makes you wonder who owns those expensive pressure canner companies đŸ€”

    Good afternoon and lots of love from Ohio! I'm so glad you've made this video. Growing up my mom, aunts, grandmother etc did not pressure can ANYTHING, and here were are nearly 60 years later and all 7 of us kids survived without food poisoning. This past week I canned 30 lbs of beef, and put 20 in the freezer for the next time. I can pork, turkey beef, chicken and even wild game. None of it has ever seen a pressure canner. Be smart be safe and don't try to shorten the time and your meats will be safely waiting for you to use it. Have a great day and God Bless
    P.S.. the only meat I precook is ground beef. The rest I can raw.

      I'm new to canning, my first thing I canned was beans. I haven't tried them yet but I did a soak over night batch and a dry, straight to the jar batch. Both done by water bath. This is the method I want to learn.

      @@ap810 canning meat by water-bath was done long before the pressure canner came along. Amish also don't pressure can. Water-bath has not failed us for generations, just make sure it's a full boil before you start timing and ALWAYS 3 hrs for meat. I try to give folks an alternative because some are fearful of pressure canners or simply cannot afford one. Water-bath gives you an option. Have a great day and God bless.

      Most people survive food poisoning. Meanwhile, it's very common. The long term and short term effects of food poisoning were why the U.S. Federal Government spent so much money to conduct the tests. The results are why other countries duplicated the testing. Truth, facts and science are why they ended up with the same results.
      Food poisoning generally takes days before someone is in trouble and since not all portions of a food product are consumes by any one person, it's often a subset of the total people eating that have the issue. The smaller the group, the smaller the subset. I really don't care though, you do you even if instead of a 3 hour water bath you could have done a 45 minute pressure cook.

    I am from Russia. Water bath canning is our everything :)) Millions of people here have summer cottages while millions are living in villages. We have farmers as well. All of them grow their own food, some more, some less. Also, millions of people in cities and towns are canning even though they don't grow anything. Seasonal veggies and fruits cost cheap, for example, 2 pounds of tomatoes (=1 kg) cost half a dollar at local farms markets in the fall. We've never heard or were directed by altitude in our canning. The majority of people use old methods of canning passed down to us from our parents and grandparents. I've never heard about anybody being poisoned by their canned food. Over past years pressure canning appeared in Russia as well. These pressure canners are produced in Russia. Largely farmers who can for sale and village people who can a lot for themselves use pressure canning, but even they use pressure canners for largely canning meat. I watched multiple videos on pressure canning from Russian bloggers, and none of them ever mentioned altitude.

    Newbie here! I just happened upon this channel and have been wanting to learn waterbath canning of meat just to know how to do it. My mom and dad cooked together and used a pressure cooker to can things like South Americans. I was traumatized as a 15 year old when the pressure cooker top blew off and spewed spaghetti sauce everywhere! Luckily, none of us got hurt, but it definitely ruined our clothes! Even the ceiling had to be cleaned. I normally do dehydrated veggies and fruit but I am really wanting to try this method. So thanks very much for sharing this and being so genuine! I’m excited to watch other videos you’ve done as you seem to have a very sweet spirit! Ignore the negativity. Here’s how I see it. If I am pleasing God and doing the best I can, that’s all that matters. I was a people pleaser for years and one day, I just decided that if people don’t like me, that’s their problem, not mine. God will repay. At any rate, looking forward to seeing more great content!! Have a blessed day!!

    Canning is about cooking and creating a vacuum.
    As you said your kitchen your rules, but the water does not have to cover the top of the jars lid in order to cook and have the jar lid seal.
    The vacuum occurs when the inside pressure is less than the outside air pressure when the jar cools the inside pressure drops causing outside pressure to be greater than the inside pressure sealing the jar.
    The jar doesn't seal while you are canning. But when you hear the pop which is after the canning time and the jar is cooling. Resulting in lower pressure in the jar.

    Canned meat looks almost pretty. I love that marble effect it has throughout once cooked. And there is an obvious difference between the pressure canned meat and the waterbathed meat. The fat on the pressure canned meat is more yellow and there isn't that much. The waterbathed meat has a purer form of fat on top.

    THANK YOU!! I have been watching a channel from a gal living in another country to get her water-bath recommendations since it isn't found here in the USA too often. My current crazy lifestyle (by choice) has me water bath canning only AND over a wood fiređŸ€­. It's great. I questioned the ground meat I did last year because I watched too many nay-sayers. I am confident of it now, and planning more. Thank you for this video!

    I agree, too little liquid it's tough/burnt, and I've found that too much liquid it's mush, pressure Canning has just become less and less appealing to me, over waterbath which seems closer to fresh, to me. I so appreciate you calling it original canning, i started doing that too a few months ago. I feel it's so disrespectful to people in other countries or sects who solely waterbath, to insinuate that their way is wrong or, dangerous/rebellious. You are such a sweet soul. Bless you❀

    I love that you're so passionate about waterbath canning. My aunt got me a pressure canner last year, and I'm at a higher elevation, but for my elevation, the canner I have doesn't make the size of weight that the glorious USDA says I need. I tried anyway, not fun. In order to use it as a pressure canner, I had to keep a little rock on the top of the weight - just big enough to add pressure weight, but light enough for it to rattle and vent steam as it needs to. As you can imagine, that was frustrating. I also was finding that the lids would NOT seal, no matter what I tried - then I realized 99% of canning advice on YT informs ppl to tighten the rings just until the jars start moving. Needless to say, I was devastated. I really wanted to can, but nothing was working for. THEN I found out that that the people who say to tighten the ring only until the jars start moving only used TATTLER lids, which you do only have to screw those rings on just till the jar starts moving (otherwise while cooking, the jars explode). But those people never said why they only screw their rings on so loose.
    Then I started researching how the pioneers and Amish preserved food, which led to exactly what you say each time you make a waterbath video - the US is the ONLY country that pressure cans, elevations means jack sh*t, and waterbath-only canning is not only acceptable for ALL foods but miraculously - against the USDA's hopes and dreams, no doubt - never kills any Amish or people in other countries. Not a single death from waterbath-only canned food. And not from our Amish-like ancestors, all those pioneers who settled what is now the US. They not only preserved food and didn't die from waterbathing, but they never got sick from and in fact THRIVED.
    But you don't hear about that at all. You have to dig deep, or find clues about our ancestors surviving on it in media such as Little House on the Prairie. It makes no sense for the US to be the ONLY country that pressure cans low-acid food if not a single other country doesn't find the need to. I would give anything to go back to a time when traditional canning was accepted as the norm.

    I am thankful to have been taught using a pressure canner for 40 years. So easy, faster, and proven safe. Mom always said buy the most current blue book and update your methods. If I didn't have a pressure canner, I would salt cure all my meat. Dehydrating, fermentation, and curing would be my methods.

    When I first started getting interested in canning by watching American canners I was confused by the canners, here in the U.K. we don’t have the canners Americans do, we can send to America on Amazon but the price of delivery is nearly as much as a canner.
    We do however have pressure cookers which is basically the same as the American canners but smaller and I’m not sure if they get to the same pressure as the big ones so I have been doing this and I’m not dead yet đŸ€Ł
    I honestly don’t understand why Americans and Canadians water bath preserves such as pickles jams etc anything with a high sugar or vinegar content is safe to make and let the lids seal themselves, sugar and vinegar are natural preservers any way.

    I have found this to be true about the top of my meat pressure canning it also. So I am learning about canning it another way. When I started canning at 20 yrs old and no books or much guidance, in 1982, no online research, I used to water bath all vegetables like green beans and fed them to my family for yrs and nobody ever got sick.

    Thank you thank you thank you for bringing back these water bath canning videos. I’m so happy u r bringing these videos back. I for one appreciate these videos and I’m an experienced canner. I do however reuse
    My lids but only ball lids as they r the ones that seem to have no issues. I have some that I’ve reused 3 x and they reseal every time. I do however check my rubber pet of the lid to make sure there is enough rubber there for another seal. I push it. The worse that can happen if the lid doesn’t seal. Stick the jar in the fridge and eat it with in a few days. I cherish these videos. 💋👍🙏

    We used to do this for our salmon. We had actual cans back then. It's been about 45 years since I've seen someone do this. We take a 55 gallon drom that's been cut down. We fill it with two layers and boil over a large fire. We never had a problem.

    Love it! I just plunged into this method, my first experience canning about 4 months ago. My training came in the form of multiple you tube videos and yours were central. Thank you! Between you, the Amish and a couple of European channels I had the confidence to make my first batch and then quite a few subsequent batches of meat for my family. As the prices rise and concerns surrounding our food supply increase, this is priceless information. God Bless you and your family!

    I'm 75 and have been canning since I was in my 20s.
    There seems to me that altitude makes a difference. I moved from very low altitude in Wisconsin to 7,200 feet in Colorado, where you could reach into a boiling pot of water to retrieve eggs. Went hiking to 11,000 feet and brought "Rice a Roni". There was no way it was going to cook. I boiled it for hours and it was still hard as a rock!! My friends got a good laugh. Even today, I wonder if it could have gotten soft just by soaking it? Now, I guess I should have put the pan in the hot springs that were up there! LOL

    I appreciate how firm you’ve gotten along with your confidence. You’re doing fantastic. Also I’m a new canner, the very first thing I ever canned was ground beef. I had so much that was given to me and it was going to waste (I only have a small fridge) if I didn’t do anything with it. I watched one of your videos from last year, I also did excessive research. Well it took 6 months to use up, every jar turned out great. Thank you so much for doing these videos! You’re so very much appreciated. Also you look fantastic!
