A microbiologist approves this message 😉
regardless of how you canned it OR stored it OR how it "looks"
... when you go to open a jar and it was not sealed... you don't eat it. PERIOD. The End.
Excellent advice! I learned how to can from my stepmom, and she was a stickler for cleanliness during canning. She also takes the rings off the jars and doesn't stack them on the shelves. She taught me what should be canned by water bath, like peaches and tomatoes, and what should be canned by pressure, like venison. It's too bad a lot of young people don't get taught these skills as much any more.
I just went and took all my rings off my jars at 12:43 a.m. 😂 I'm brand new to canning
I know this video is over a year old, but I just saw it and am so glad I did. I've been canning for decades the way granny taught me. I checked all my canned foods (Yes, the rings were on) and found a few false seals. Thank you for literally saving our lives. Just goes to show you....you are never too old to learn.
As a physician working in the ICU, I had to treat patients with botulism, and they were intubated for weeks! Botulism in a killer! Thanks for your excellent video!
Little late to this video, but this discussion happened between hubs and I this week. His mom and granny removed the rings, my mom and granny left them on. Both of us thought it was personal preference. After watching this, we will be removing the rings from now on. Learn something new every day. Thanks!
This is so true! I've just started canning and I put a batch of Beef Stroganoff up to cool. After a day, I was able to remove the rings and support each jar by grasping only the lid - everything was sealed. As my pantry grew, I was admiring my supply when I put my finger on the lid of one of my Stroganoff jars ... I notice the center button was up. Curious ... I picked the jar up by the lid and it supported the jar, but still, the button on the lid was up. I carried it to the kitchen and when I put the jar down, the lid slid right off. Now that was a false seal! What happened was that during the canning, I overfilled that jar and some of the Stroganoff siphoned out and contaminated the rim of the class as it was under pressure and sealing. After a while, the debris on the jar's edge started to decay and that destroyed the vacuum but held the lid on kind of like a glue.
When my Papaw and my Grandaddy built the pantry in their houses, the shelves for the canned goods were only tall enough for a quart jar. My father later built my mothers pantry the same way. I guess they knew the same thing you were talking about. I remember helping both of my grandmothers and my mother with the prep work for canning and the actual canning and they taught me the same way. Not a lot of boys got the benefit of learning to can and cook from their grandmothers and mother, but I loved it. My mother has taught all of her grandsons to cook also, so another round of boys will be able to feed themselves without going to McDonald's.
I am almost 60 years old and have canned for years and years. This is the most informational video I have ever seen. Thank you Patera, I really did not know not to leave the rings on or not to stack the jars. Again TY and no matter how old a person is there is still room for learning.
contact your county's Home Extension Program for the latest OFFICIAL safety information about home canning. Get the Ball Blue Book --the latest edition.
you reminded me of a saying my mom and grandma always said..."the day you stop learning is the day you put one foot in your casket"..
I found canned Peaches in my Grand-father's house 7 years ago ( Exp date : Nov 1981).
Those canned peaches were better than any I had eaten in my life; many years of soaking in cane sugar for the win.
Delicious food for my Scotch whisky hang-0ver that morning !
Wow, I have been canning for years now and have heard that you should never leave the rings on and never stack one directly on the top of the other but never really understood the reasons until your video. OMG!!!! I get it now! I vow here and now that I will NEVER, EVER do it again. I am canning a lot from my garden today and will employee these two basic but oh, so necessary techniques! Thank you for sacrificing your fencing time to educate us and help save us from harming the ones we love.
Woah, calm down
Dr Carla Seleme yeah me too. At harvest there is so much food, gets me anxious 😦
I actually read the USDA guide to canning cover to cover when I was first learning how to make preserves and let me tell you you don't soon forget the section on botulism. It made me hypervigilant about making and maintaining a good seal and storing properly. Great video! Creators sometimes mention taking off the rings but no one has ever said don't stack your jars, that's good advice.
Thank you for this. My grandfather has been canning all my life (34 years) and then some. It doesn't matter what he cans, you can guarantee 1/4 to 1/2 of it "just goes bad." He leaves rings on. He stacks things. He is careless with the cleaning and says "You're going to boil it so it doesn't matter." I don't eat any of it, and never wanted to do it. I figured canning was a great way to just waste half of whatever I wanted to put up, so I've been freezing things. What I have learned from your video and several others is that it isn't canning that is the problem, but carelessness :)
I wanted to get into canning because I saw a video in my recommended feed about canning meats. I enjoy simple things like chicken and dumplings and beef stew. From what I am seeing, if I do things properly, there is no reason I can't can chicken in broth and have that part ready to go, or can some stew. All without having to worry about a large portion going bad.
Thank you :)
I've been canning for over 20 years. I totally agree with all of this.
So glad to see you embrace "doing it right" instead of following grandma's old ways. So many of the young bloggers//vloggers use sketchy methods and follow with 'well, it works for me'. Canning is a wonderful skill, but food safety should be a priority over 'easy'. THANK YOU.
Thank you so much!
Omg!!!! You saved my family's life!!!! I can't thank you enough for this VALUABLE INFORMATION!!!!! I only PRAY that a lot of others come across this video and get educated. Again, THANK YOU. I've been doing this all wrong and ending up with the same mold issue and left to throw it out! Ladies and gents, PLEASE take heed to this woman's advice! She's giving it out free and possibly saving lives!!!!!
I was fortunate because the Mississippi extension service had a canning class. First thing I learned was not to rub my eye when making pepper jelly :)
After buying my first jar of cranberry jalapeno jelly at a church fair last year, I totally understand NOT rubbing your eyes. Went down real easy and then came the after burn. Yummy jelly! It numbed my tongue quite nicely.
Russell 😂
Russell this made me crack up 😆😆😆 thanks for the tip.
Or take your lasix when cleaning peppers.... ;D
Im still working on that one lol
This is the best video explaining reasons why you don’t keep bands on, you don’t stack and you properly follow directions when canning. Thank you so much!!!!! ❤️🙌🎉
Long story short, don't stack your jars/cans, and don't store them with the rings still on. Thanks!
Lol...Right
Mad Hatter, I have always taken my rings off.
@@carolynhelmic1474 Here's the one thing she didn't address: how long do you leave the rings (on) before removing? I haven't ever canned, but would like to start. Thank you.
Why do you take the rings off
This could have been a shorter video. Remove the rings, don’t stack them. 1 minute!
So glad we happened to watch this while my husband was attentive! We're just getting started canning, and he hates to "waste" anything! Thanks for the safety tip and reminder!!
I don't leave the rings on but do stack jars. I never thought of the seal possibly being compromised. Thanks Patera! I'm checking them jars today!
I questioned myself when I took the lids off as I started canning because grandma never did. This makes so much sense for safety! Thank you.
Thank you so much ! Just in my 4th year of canning soooo much to learn with no time to learn between work raising kids cleaning house and running a garden , thanks again for keeping it short and to the point
This is my first time watching your channel. Love it! It’s been 3 years since you made this, but it’s timeless. I’ve never canned, but I’m considering the value of canning. I’ve listened to a lot of CZcams videos about canning, and I’ve never heard of the two warnings that you presented here. Thanks for the tips, and I love your clear and frank style.
Thank you for the demo. I have been jarring sauce for many years and do not remove the rings but am very happy to learn this. It’s certainly worth the precaution.
Wow - I have never, ever heard the explanation (nor the necessity) of removing and not leaving the rings on the jars! I am glad I watched and thank you. :)
3 years later and I want to say, "Louder, for the people in the back!" Great video and all very true.
I couldn't agree more. Also, keeping the rings on prevents you from washing the jars well before storing. Leaving the rings on also contributes to them rusting. Maybe you are short on rings because they are just too rusty. Have you ever checked the price of new rings? You might as well buy a new case of jars! My mom always stored the rings on metal clothes hangers that she would open up with pliers, then she could hang them to keep air circulation going helping them to stay rust free. Also make sure the rings are washed, rinsed and dried thoroughly before storing. If I have some rusty rings I reserve them for giveaways, always assuming I will not get the empty back. My kids are the worst violators of this 😎
I'm 71 and this "Rings On... OR...Rings Off" discussion has been a long but no one ever shared WHY...I'm a logic person, give me a reason. Now I have to go thru my pantry and remove the rings...Thank you for sharing..
What I got from this was the ring holds the lid in place (loosely-not air tight) even though it's" not sealed". Or the ring is actually causing pressure points which pop the seal.....Thus the food is going bad which you could eat before mold appears.
I never knew this, nor have I canned before. I have bought the stuff to make jam first time so yeah great info.
The directions that come with the canner will tell you to remove the bands after they've sealed and set over night. The bands can keep a false seal, if that happens you can potentially eat some very poisonous food.
Opening the jar should make a loud popping sound when the seal breaks. If it doesn't, then you shouldn't eat it. This even applies to food from the store. Common sense really...
Thoughts In Passing if the food spoils you want the kid to be able to come off. If they are sealed.... You won't know
Thoughts In Passing I've seen people keep the rings on for years and they never have problems. 👀
thank you for the information. I am a retired single man and just starting canning and can use all the help I can get!
Same here, Donald. I take notes in a small journal as well.
My adult son is an organic chemist, and an expert at canning.
@@sandrastreifel6452 Hi, Sandra! I used to work for the head of the Chemistry Dep. at the Univ. of Memphis years ago. One of the few jobs I loved!!
I still pretty much have my training wheels on. Welcome aboard!!!
I am 50+ and am just getting started , watched my mother for years growing up , did most of the gardening and prep work , we had six children and did about 600aqts a year
Thank you for this information. I thought it was just being frugal with the rings. I really didnt know it was a safety issue. Nor did I know about not stacking jars. As I am just beginning to get into canning this info is invaluable.
I’ve only canned acid foods, and I agree; always follow the official safety guidelines. Thank you for doing this. Some people really don’t know.
Hi Patera! I have been watching your channel for over a year now. I came across this video and found it so helpful. Being new to canning this summer, I was stacking my jars AND leaving the rings on so I would not loose them. I watched this video and went to the basement right away and took the rings off every jar. 2 salsa jars were not sealed. I think you probably have a lot of new subscribers and I recommend you reposting this video or mentioning it.. Thank you for your dedication educating others. Makes me really miss my Grammy at times like this. Thanks again!
Thank you, I have never heard why to remove the rings and it all makes sense now. great learning video.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! I have been researching and learning and you, dear lady, are the ONLY person to teach this! BLESS YOU!
I just literally learning about canning so I am grateful for your safety updates. Thank you for taking a moment from your fencing.
Thank you thank you thank you!! I will definitely follow this rule! I've always wondered how you can know for sure if there is something growing in your cans. Now I know, just allow the lids to be able to pop off enough so that air gets in and the stuff grows in plain sight. EXCELLENT info!
Thank you. I’ve been helping with canning since a little girl. Stepping out on my own now and it’s good to learn the bits and pieces that I’ve not been taught
Thank you for this video. This year will be my very first canning, as long as my garden does good, but I’m glad I found out this information. 😊
Thank you so much. I appreciate you being point-blank about teaching and talking about the things you talk about. JB
Thank you for sharing this. I did not know that you were supposed to take the rings off, but it makes sense.
Thanks for explaining and showing what can happen when using rings-----they could create a false seal.
Also stacking can create a false seal. Being new at this, I have an interest in learning the why as well as the what to stay safe.😀
Patara thank you for the safety video. I lived in Alaska for 20 years and always always took off the rings on my Salmon and Moose meat jars. I couldn’t run the risk of making one of the family members sick. And I made my shelves for pints and some for quarts so I didn’t have to stack. Alaska also had great tips in there extension office for new canners. My mom and grandma taught me to can when I was a kid living in MO. Now being back in Mo.I haven’t canned as much as I did living in AK.
But safety is number one.
Thank you for your time on this.
Is there a link for the extension office great tips for new canners? I'm a complete newbie.
I'm a new canner and this information was very enlightening. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with those of us who are just starting out.
Thank you for the life saving education! I'm new to canning and I didn't know these things. God Bless!
Excellent video. I've always been afraid to try canning, but your video shows the thought and safety you put into it. I'm totally doing it this year. Subscribed! Now I've got to get to watching more of your videos.
Thank you for taking your time out for us. Blessings.
So glad I came across this! I'm a brand new canner. Just had someone teach me how to can green beans today. This kind of info is so important. There's so much I need to learn!
Thank you!! This warning should be put on every canning video, just like the warning on woodworking videos, like “be sure to always wear goggles and avoid putting your hand into the blade when the saw is turned on”.
Thank you so much for a very informative video! The "why" behind the "how" can make a world of difference.
I haven’t started canning yet...I’m in the research stage. This info is INVALUABLE. I appreciate this so much!
Big smiles to you and yours for this advice.
Thank you! I don’t leave my rings on but have been a “stacker” til just right NOW! I and my family appreciate the info.
I just did my first canning session ever two nights ago. As I went to put the jars in the pantry I stood for a moment wondering how to arrange them. I'm so glad I saw this before I amassed a collection of spoiled food.
Oh my word! Thank you for demonstrating why! I was always told not to store with lids on but never explained why. Awesome explanation!
Thank you for sharing this. I'm just starting my research into canning and this is so, so helpful and will hopefully save my family from getting sick!
Thank you very much for your concerns from Ontario, Canada. Take Care and Happy Canning!
Thank you so much for explaining why you don't do those "no no's", I had no idea and I'm just starting out with canning. It's really appreciated!
Thank you! Thank you! This was so valuable to learn. I never, ever heard it explained so perfectly. I will take all your great advice to heart.
I am new to canning and having a blast. I am so glad I saw this video and double checked all of myself jars, nothing double stacked or with rims on that have been through the sealing process. Either water bathed or pressure canned. I had several because I wanted to give them as gifts. Fortunately they were just canned a few days ago. Mistake fixed and I thank you so much!
Thank you so much for the info. I just used a pressure canner yesterday for the first time so this is so timely for me.!
I knew about the rings but I had no idea that I was not supposed to stack them. I keep on learning. Thanks for video!
Thank you for this video. The information you have shared is so very important.
I love your direct approach and good sense.
Thank you for this information - grew up with canned goods and I'm sure everything was stored with rings on. I have done the same, but NO MORE. It's too easy to just remove the rings, rather than take that chance. Love your channel!
Thank you so.much Patara. I am a stickler about canning and I did not know about removing the Rings Intel about a month ago. I watch some videos on CZcams about canning and think Omg! You are broadcasting unsafe things.
I am so glad you shared this. Thank you.
Moening sister thx so much for your channel! Learning so much and so grateful! Picked up jars and canning pots supplies from my dad so I'm getting ready for hopefully a successful canning season. God bless you and yours!
Thank you so much for showing and sharing that - I've never heard it, nor read it anywhere!!! I'm so grateful!
This is great information since I’ve never canned before but I’m learning all I can because I want to start canning! Thank you soooo much!🥰
thank you so much! I am very new to canning and that was very helpful to me. I've watched many videos that said they leave the rings on and they showed where they stacked but this showed me why you wouldn't do that. Very informative love your videos I love your Channel and I love how you keep it real.
Good to know this! I had no idea, glad I watched this as I have a garden this year and canning will be new to me. Watching and reading all the info out there that I can. Thank you.
Thanks....I am new to canning and I did not know these things,,,love and light to all.
Thank you, Patara. Having recently started experimenting with canning, I always wondered why some of the jars that my family recieved from others didn't come with the ring. I will never stack or leave the rings on mine ever again!
Oh my goodness sakes!!! I did not know this.... Thank you for taking time away from your work to put this information out. I was getting ready to make that very mistake.
You just saved me a lot of money and possibly from getting myself and family sick....
EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT ADVICE. I just started canning and I had no idea. THANK YOU!
Thankyou for sharing this! I never knew. I've just started canning so this is wonderful to know.
THANK YOU!!!! My mother always promised that she would show me how to can. However, she died nearly 5 yrs before I NEEDED to can in order to feed my family during the pandemic. I'm going to check all my jars tonight!
Wow, thank you so very much. Just getting into canning. Very timely.
im new to canning . looking up ways to do it . ive seen older people do it over the years and everything that youre saying makes perfect sense . thank you
Thank you so much for your wisdom and taking the time to explain this so well.
Well done. I've been canning for 40 years, and I follow these rules as taught by my folks and grandparents but didn't know why.
Awesome tips. I am new to canning and researching about it. Just wanted to ask, at what point in the canning process should we take the rings off? Is it after they've cooled down and ready for storing? TIA. :)
Thank you so much for the information. When I get home in the morning, I will unstack the beets I canned a couple of days ago. Also, the tomatoes I canned a couple of years ago. One of them still has a ring on it because I couldn’t get it off. I’ll have my husband try or just discard it to be on the safe side. Thanks again. I’m glad I ran across your video.
Thank you so very much for this valuable information..I hadn't learned some of this ..I feel so blessed to have found you..
Thanks for explaining so throughly the importance of not putting the rings on! Makes perfect sense to me.
I have just started canning this past growing season (yes I am homesteader) . I grew up on a farm but was never around canning foods.. I watch how to videos , you tube ect.. learned last year when canning potatoes never leave the skins on no matter how well you clean them.. same with carrots. I was lucky the lids bowed after couple of days.. (was thrown out) I learned from that mistake with out getting sick.. I Did not know about the rings and stacking them.. Thank you, you might of saved my life or family members life.
Thanks for watching!
Potatoes and carrots being low acid need to be pressure canned.
Great information and thank you ever-so much for caring! ❤️
Great information and great energy, thanks for your insight
OMG. I loved this video! I grew up with the lid on or off discussions from grandmas and moms. My mom had her shelves in the cellar built just the right height for quart jars so there was never any stacking. Not sure if she knew this or just space saving.
I just pressure canned for the first time this week. This was so incredibly helpful! Thank you!
Thank you! I’m going to try canning for my first time and these were great tips for a beginner.
Thank you so much!!!! I'm brand new to canning! So new that all I have done so far is buy the books to learn and watched some vids on the topic. No other vid I've seen even mentioned any of this! Thank you so much! I will not forget this vid and I won't ever leave the ring on or stack them!!!
New to your channel. I love the enthusiasm you have for this topic. As a former nurse, I've seen what can happen. Thank you for making this video. Best to you and yours.
I absolutely agree whit this information! I have had two jars do this as well, both times were after Ball changed the lids and the way you use them during canning. I was so upset when I found out why this happened to my food. I believe Ball let those of us canners down by not letting the change be know in an more up front way. With that being said I still use their products and will continue to do so. I always try to follow all safety guidelines when canning and always read up on the procedures even though I have canned for years! I want to make sure what I am doing is as safe as possible!
Absolutely! Thanks for watching! Safety first! xo
Thanks!! I just harvested some veggies and I wanted to double check how to can safely! This was super helpful.
I’ve always wondered the real reason why you need to leave the rings off and you did a great job answering this age old question! Just subscribed.
I've been canning since the late 1990's. I agree with everything you said.
Omg thank you so much. I’m new at this and I’m so happy I found your site.
Thank you for this information here also . God bless you and keep up the good work and teaching . Awesome
