Pam,
I love the way you instruct. I wish I could have been a student of yours. It wouldn’t have mattered the subject, even statistics (ugh!).
I hope you and Jim really enjoy your holidays!❤❤
Thank you for all you do for us.
Haha! I have gremlins, too! I really want to get rid of them in the hopes that fairies move in and do helpful things! Great video! I really appreciate that you follow up so thoroughly on things and show how dedicated you are to helping us all learn. You two are the best!
So do we, darn gremlins. Unfortunately, our fairies tend to be on strike all too often.😂
I had a rough start to my baking season about 13 years ago. I was recently divorced after a long marriage so my positively was low.
Nothing worked, so one night in desperation I stood in my kitchen, faced north and raised my arms. I then shouted be gone as I quickly lowered my body and bent my knees to fold in half. I did this 4 times once in each quadrant North, East, South and West. After that the fairy's must've felt safe to come back. No more baking fails. I know it sounds silly, but it worked for me. I either chased something out, or opened myself up to letting positively in. 🤷♀️ After that I named myself a Kitchen Fairy.
I'm now happily married to a wonderful husband who loves my cooking and baking.
I’m waiting on the house brownies to move in!
My Presto canner recommends waiting one hour after it shuts down? I usually wait that long. Great time to nap😅
I love science of reason, but most of all the last time I canned I was a Teen and it helps to watch someone with the 20year break I took from my last canning project
You are absolutely the best teacher I have found in the canning community. Thank you so much for this wonderful video. I too have Gremlins in my kitchen at times. Thank you for putting a name to those little buggers. Happy holidays to you and Jim. ❤
I love your ability to explain complicated matters in a common sense way that makes it easy to understand. Love your channel!
I was terrified of the canning experience. A neighbor swore the food was the most delicious she had ever eaten with her and her mother canning advocates. She gave me samples of her chicken and then some pork. I was astonished at the pure smell, flavor, and versatility of these meats. I somehow got over my fear of explosions, standing in the kitchen dooorway as the canner jiggled its merry song, after about 10 canning days. Now the fear is gone and there are only fond memories of overcoming and happy canning experiences.
Oh, and I am never in the rush to get jars from the canner. I just do something else till everything is cooled.
I'm the same. I just leave my jars in the canner until everything is cooled. There's no reason to be in a rush.
My aunt would have troubles of all sorts and blame my deceased uncle. The first words she uttered were “now Harold just stop this shenanigans!” Bless her heart! We lost her 4 years ago. She would have been 96 this year. Now i have an aunt and uncle gremlin coasting around in my house causing chaos and mayhem. I wouldnt want it any other way! 😊
I've seen videos of people taking the weight off the canner when the time was up and just releasing all of the pressure at once. It was scary! They also took the jars out and put them upside down on a towel after getting them out of the canner. They said the same thing I hear way too often. "well, my gramma always did it that way". We all need to go where the science takes us. Learn and grow every day.
Aw, thank you. I'm relieved to learned it wasn't me; *Gremlins* 😂Seriously, I'm relieved.
And when the gremlins get involved…..all that is left is prayer! may God bless you both for all that you do!
I always learn something from you (the 50% or more liquid means the food still good was the one today for me) and nothing could ever deter me from canning. We make messes and mistakes in our regular cooking (burnt pans, fallen cakes, bread not rising), so why not a accept a few mistakes in canning?
I definitely remember the broth episode! It made me jump 😂. If it was me, I know that I would have screamed a little
I remember thinking: oh my, Pam is human after all 🤣
At 81, I have learned so much from your knowledge and videos. It's unbelievable how much I DID NOT know about canning. Thank you for sharing your food preservation methods and techniques.
I just started canning this week. If I can do it anyone can! This was so helpful. I was wondering why I had lost some liquid in one of my jars today. This helps so much!
I’m glad you used the term “liquid loss” instead of syphoning, because jargon can be off-putting to beginners 😀
I just want to say, red is your color. You look great in red! I am a redhead who grew up in the 60s and 70s. When I was little I wasn’t allowed to wear red, yellow, pink or orange because it was thought to clash with my red hair. Boy were they wrong! And I appreciate all this information! You are the only you tube channel I look to for accurate and scientific info. Thank you and Jim for all you do!
Thank you! You gave great information that left me thinking "oh, good to know" quite a few times !
Thorough explanation. I've experienced "syphoning" when I rushed getting the jars out of the canner. No better teacher than grape or beet juice all over the kitchen floor!
I just love your educational videos. They always contain so much useful and helpful information! Thank you so much for doing these videos to teach us the right way to can.
In our family, we generally blame the Leprechauns.
🤣🤣 We call our “Gremlin” Mr. Nobody and boy oh boy does he wreak havoc! Thank you for this video and the good laugh!
LOL!
Did everything “right” yesterday but sill had liquid loss on four of my cranberry juice quarts. Today I understood why! Item 3 for me- (cold packed my cranberries). Thank you for all you do! ❤️
I am new to canning, and have watched hundreds of videos; your videos are very informative and entertaining.
I love hearing the science behind WHY something happens! Thank you for the explanation - especially pressure - as a smooth curve.
Thank you so much for this video. My stove fluctuates and I can't get the sweet spot. I just turn up and down and I appreciate you saying that.
Great educational video! Thanks for your expertise and helping us understand what is happening 💕👍
Great information. I learned a lot. I'll be much more comfortable when I can from now on.
SLOW, EVEN JIGGLE was what we needed to hear, thank you, mam!
What’s encouraging is, these things happens to even the most noted expert like you, put smiles on our faces.
I've been canning for fifty years with no problems. But! Good information and I've learned something! Thank you, you're an amazing teacher!
Glad it was helpful! Jim
Thank you for your videos. I would never have started canning without them.❤❤
Those pesky gremlins! We have those at our home as well. Along with, "I don't know" and "Not me" (those were present when our children were growing up, lol)!
Thank you, Pam, for explaining that I may or may not have had true siphoning. I canned some broth last week and was surprised at the loss of broth in 2 out of the 5 jars. I have learned about canning safety from you and am particular about following the rules. Each jar was treated the same but no accounting some times. Those are in my fridge to use this week and the others are on the shelf. I sure appreciate your calm and common sense approach to teaching!
You are very welcome. So glad our info is useful for you.
Thank you ❤ We have lots of Gremlins here with hubby and I 😂 I say, the dogs are getting talented around here because I know I didn’t do it ❤
Someone may have said this last time or this time, for the Nesco and the Carey, the instructions say once the canner is finished, unplug and don't open for 1 hour.
One of the best canning videos ever. I've been canning for about 3 years now. Your detailed explanations helped me further understand the process. Working in chemical plants, I understand superheat, but never applied it to canning. Your video changed the way I look at canning.
Thank you Pam! I have had "issues" with siphoning and really appreciate your information!
I have the issue with broth as well. I will now use extreme measures to let it cool. That stuff is liquid gold and a lot of work!
Would you consider making a video that addresses the reasons why lids may not seal properly? Thank you so much!
The science behind the process…exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing!
I am happy to hear the loss of liquid doesn't affect safety. I always remove my rings & periodically check lids for the seal.
Either no rings once stored or lids barely on like we do because we have no storage room for them. Jim
Thank you so very much for explaining so thoroughly without charging us in some kind of class that supposedly is free, not.
Love this information. It gives me the confidence that what Ive canned is ok to eat. Thank you thank you!!
I have two Nesco electric canners and I let them sit for an hour and then I open the vent and let it sit for five minutes and then I unlock the lid but I do not lift it up and I let it sit for five minutes before opening the lid. This process eliminated the occasional siphoning I was having.
So my husband and I are not the only ones with GREMLINS, lol.
Thanks for the video. I've had a canner for years but was just to afraid to use it. I findly went for it and in the 3 years I've been canning, I've never had a problem and it because people like you who put out wonderful vids. Thanks again.
I bought the Nesco electric canned after seeing your successful tests with it, and though I often have a little bit of siphoning, it has never been excessive. I credit my success with canning to you and your videos.
Thanks for sharing! Jim
I love my Nesco Carey canner also. I too experience siphoning but not extreme.
Pam...you are such a treasure in knowledge to the community ❤
Good thorough explanation of causes of water loss! I do agree, gremlins get into more mischief than just canning, at least in my house.
And in ours as well!
Would love for you to do a video on STEAM canning….what not to can this way, etc…. Love what you do for us…thanks
A wonderful and informative video. Answered my questions and put me more at ease with my canning. You are truly a treasure!
You have so much wisdom. Thank you for sharing. You are such a treasure. I have learned so much from you. I feel so lucky to have found you.
Thanks!! Jim
I have a Carey electric canner and the instructions say to unplug or turn off the canner and allow it to sit for one hour to cool off before opening.
Thank you Rose, for this info.
Hello Jim and Pam, Thank you for a very well done presentation. We're lucky to have you teaching us.
You are so welcome. Thanks for your comment.
Thanks! That broth thing happened to me once!
I love watching jars boil away when they’re on the counter after canning.
I do too! It is mesmerizing!
Thank you!!! I always hated that "finger tight" instruction. Now I don't. Also, I have been confused about liquid loss. Now I'm not confused. Thank you again.
Right before you said not to leave the canner overnight, I was thinking that that it just what I would do! Thanks! You saved me again 😻
Oh wow! I’m setting up right now to can my turkey broth (with my electric presto pressure canner) and started to watch your video! So timely and thank you for your video!
😊 I have a poof monster at my house. Thank you for the chuckle.
Fantastic information. Thank-you so very much. ❤ God bless
I really enjoyed this video (well, I enjoy all of them). It just proves that just because you think you know something (what siphoning is) doesn't mean that you do.😊
Thanks for another informative "classroom experience." ❤
This video really is helpful. I have had floating fruit over the years. Since watching your channel I have had so much success. Now I’m trying your meals in a jar using a pressure canner. I am amazed how much meat and veggies will cram into a pint jar. Thanks for sharing your time making these videos.
Thank you for clearing this up for me. The smooth curve…that is my goal.
Glad it was helpful!
Just so good, so helpful and so appreciated. I just love knowing the reasons behind doing things as well. How do you feel about doing a video on inspecting cans to ensure they are safe for eating after being stored for a while ? Sometimes for example there will be bubbles in the food, but while some bubbles are not a concern others are an indication of a problem. I think such a video would really help many of us. Thank you again for your classes.
We have gremlins at work. They love to get into the computers. 😁 I have heard a couple of canners say that if you leave jars in the canner overnight, it can cause the food inside to "sour." Now I'm guessing that what they were referencing might have been some happy little bacteria action. Thank you for a great presentation!
I just love your informative videos if not for you I would not be canning, because I would be too scared to can it or eat it you are a brilliant teacher! Thankyou
With all that can happen I am surprised that more of us are still living HA! When I can, I let my canner do its thing. I found that one thing I was doing was not tightening my lids enough. Since I found this out I have had no problems. I refrain from opening until I am certain everything has gone down in temp before even attempting to open….
I just started canning and had some liquid loss with potatoes. This video came just in time and answered questions I’ve had today. Thank You Very Much. 👍
Great! Glad it was helpful.
I canned three quarts of Turkey stock in my Nesco last week. When it was finished, I unplugged it and left it for well over an hour. When I removed the jars, they were still super hot almost boiling inside, but there was no siphoning.
This was a fantastic video, and about something that most people do wonder about. That shot of the jar spraying out liquid was simply amazing. Reminds us to be very sure that we let the canner cool down appropriately before opening it. I will always remember that as it left quite an impression. Fantastic video of that.
Thanks! We thought it was fantastic, too. Jim
Thank you very much for this video. I was just about to trash last week's canning veggies because of the liquid loss. I'm fairly new to canning and always afraid of getting my family sick. My jars are sealed tightly and I have more than half liquid in the jars. Your videos are always very informative. Again, thank you!.
Gremlins! Love it. I have them too. I have a lot of water loss and I know why but you confirmed it. Mine is due to pressure fluctuation. I have an electric stove and have to stand there the whole time to make sure the psi stays where it needs to. Frustrating but you do what you have to in whatever situation you’re in. You mentioned the apple pie filling. Again, I do everything right and it still overflows. Sticky mess but worth it. Those gremlins at work again.😁 Thanks for another great video.
What a great topic and clear teaching! Thank you both!
Wow! Thanks for the tips! I didn't know that leaving jars in the canner overnight to cool wasn't safe!!!
Glad it was helpful! Jim
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I always learn from why I have had problems watching your channel.
Glad to hear it, Jim
Thank you for all the help Pam❤
Wonderful video. You answered all my questions. I need to let the jars cool for a while before pulling out to the air conditioned room.👍. Have a blessed week.🌺
What an EXCELLENT explanation
Thank you do much. I'm a canning newbie and this really helped me to understand
Glad it was helpful! Jim
Great explanations for liquid loss!!! I've had better success with hot packing fruits to reduce liquid loss BUT I also enter my canning at the County Fair so my headspace must be close to perfect on those jars. And I love #6!
I have for my nearly half century of pressure canning let my canner sit for 30 minutes before removing the the lid. I rarely have a problem. It's the way my mother taught me, when she was in hospital one summer and I had to pick, string and can 40 quarts of greenbeans by myself. I was 14. I think she was afraid I would open it too soon. Her exact instructions were, " turn off the heat, when the pressure reads '0' wait 30 minutes and remove the lid."
Edit - That was before all the safety measures they have now. But I still do it that. 😆🤷♀️
I do the same. I can’t see what it hurts to let the jars cool down longer than 10 minutes after returning to zero. Especially for things like broth that really can’t be overcooked. I’d rather wait no matter what I’ve canned.
You did a fantastic job explaining this. THANK YOU!
And the liquid spewing out of the jars was amazing!
You are so welcome!
This is why I love my electric Nesco/Carey canner!
Excellent!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I'm relatively new to canning. I've enjoyed learning how to can but really don't have anyone experienced to ask. Absolutely love your channel.
I thank so very much for this and all your other videos. I have been pressure canning for less than a year and have been learning so very much from you. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Kandy
You are so welcome! Jim
This was so helpful. I’ve been canning for over 30 years. I’ve had water loss sometimes. But never that harsh type that happened to you with the broth. But now thanks to you I know what to do just in case thank you❤
Thank you Miss Rose for the canning lessons . You answered the questions I always wanted to know. God bless you and yours😊
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing all your wisdom and knowledge with us !!!
🌹Pam, what a fantastic video! I am saving this video to go over again and again. Thank you so much for posting. -Nora
Thanks. Very helpful.
Thank you SO much!!
Thhis video came out right when i was trying to find out why this can happen and if it would be safe to still eat the food. I have not bought a pressure cooker yet so i have not started canning. I am just one of those people who tries to find all the information about a subject first so i have no surprises. Ty for these wonderful videos.
Very informative. Thank you very much. God bless you and yours from South Africa.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for explaining this.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have needed this video so badly!! It was so helpful!!!👏
This was an excellent video and so valuable to me as a novice canner. ❤
Very helpful!!!
I just love your videos. They are so educational and informative. I have canned several times and have headed to the guidelines but I love that you tell us the why.
Great video!
GREAT INFORMATION ❤️
AHHH YES,the GREMLINS! 🧌 We have them too and the run rampant as we get older!🤣
THANK you for all the teaching you do, you explain everything so well🥰 Sending love from Iowa
Broth is more volatile than solid foods i have found ... And the peaches soaked up the liquid when the peaces let the air out.
So appreciate you and the teaching.
