      I can and am disabled. You just work out ways to be able to do it. I put empty canner on stove, then add required water, then jars, one at a time. Heat canner and follow instructions. When time is up and pressure falls, let sit 5 to 10 minutes; remove lid and carefully remove jars one at a time. Hot water bath, I put water in after it is on stove; when finished I dip the water out of the canner.

Besides, I would never be able to lift or carry even one of those electric ones, even if it weighs much less than a big stovetop canner. It’s still very heavy! I would for sure have handled it like @Georgia Gunn describes in another comment, and I would use the same method for a larger one as for the electric one. It’s for sure easier to set and not have to babysit the canner, I see that, but that’s a whole other matter - not disability-related. 🤗

    Becky, when you blend eggs in this kind of blender usually eggs don't rise. It's something to do with blades cutting through egg protein particles. Did this couple of times for baking and stopped as everything came out deflated :( hand whisk or mixer does the job the best especially when using cottage cheese. Cottage cheese itself becomes chewy while baking sinking eggs as well. I would probably use ricotta cheese instead.

      @EmmaAppleBerry Год назад +3

      Yeah this is also why cutting lettuce and herbs and things is a no no but ripping them or grinding them like mortar and pestle style is how youre suppose to do it. Changes the structure of the cells and they brown badly with the metal on them which also can alter texture/taste of the usually aromatic oils of herbs so will taste more bitter with cutting/metal than it would with ripping and grinding.
      Its crazy how much the "how" matters when cooking.
      And really most people think fresh food is best and sure if youve grown it it is but if not frozens healthier because it keeps the item as nutrional as possible. Kinda like freeze drying vs freezing. Freeze drying is better but its also way more expensive and inaccessible to most people. And the fact is unless youre preserving up garden produce or meals regularly that youll likely never actually need one and can just stick to freezing stuff.
      Its so fun to see all these sort of experiments and variations in cooking that even if you cook a recipe correctly just a drop of water can prevent a meringe or spoil chocolate tempering. Thats why its always good to know the basic food science behind cooking so you dont blow up your blender with hot liquid or crack jars with temperature shock etc.

I think when she sees that there’s no meals available, she’ll do a batch cooking session and refill her freezer with family meals for 6-8 weeks. It also seems like she gathers basic ingredients needed for most of their meals. With bulk gathering, she’ll scale up/down based on what was used in the past year. It seems like a smart system that works for them.

    Hi, Becky first ever comment on youtube you are amazing such an inspiration, you should watch Laura at Garden Answer since you are starting to plan your garden layout for next year. She has both a productive and gorgeous garden and now that you have a bigger space , sky is the limit it's like a blank canvas,
    can't wait to see what your next garden will look like. Love from Paris , France.😊

    On the electric pressure canner, you can hold the arrow button and skip the heat jars and go straight to pressure canning. It saves about 10-15 minutes depending on the heat of your water.

    My 10 tray SS Excalibur dehydrator is a dust collector now that I have the Large 5 tray Freeze Dryer! The only things I can think to use it for is fruit leathers/roll ups & jerkey! That’s it, the FDer is so much better. I know the older ones had problems but these ones today are fabulous! My hubby wanted to stop me from buying pre-packaged Freeze Dried food and the only way was to order one! Canning is ‘Old School’ for most produce. It destroys so many nutrients! I FD individual items and vacuum seal in jars or Mylar bags depending on how long I want to keep them. Great for Preparedness if you have a large harvest or purchase. Good Job Ms. Becky! ❤️

    The next time you make the egg bites? Up your oven temp to 350. And add some milk, or water to your mix. That should give you the puff you want. Maybe a fourth of a cup of milk with the amount of eggs your using. About an eighth of a cup if your using water. It doesn't take much. It'll work though. Lol. Puffed or not, they looked fantastic. 🥰🥰🥰

    Sometimes when I'm feeling overwhelmed with all I have to do I use reverse psychology on myself! So instead of writin "TO DO" list I keep a list of what I've done. This eliminates and guilt for what I've not been able to complete. I title it "TODAY I'VE DONE:" and have no expectation of a certain number of tasks thar are listed because I HAVE accomplished something!! This gives me a sense of accomplishment to see all that I've accomplished in a given day..

    I feel you! So far this week I’ve put up 52 pints of applesauce, 23 pints of salsa, and a batch of dehydrated apple slices.
    I’ve done them all with my electric canner and for jars lids. It’s been so much easier than my traditional water bath canner, and all jars have sealed! Thanks for the recommendations!
    I still have more apples to dehydrate, more to sauce, and some to make into pie filling.
    The guys are up on an elk hunt, so I’m trying to get all the produce put up before we have an elk to process.
    There’s still tomatoes and green beans in the freezer to handle later, but they’re at least stable.
