    Every thing on your list is awesome. I would add Couple more things like your 1tbspful you got 5, I do the same thing with my individual measuring cups. I put 1cup measuring cups in my flour bin and sugar bin, and rolled oats container. And don't forget the glass measuring cups I love the larger ones 4 cups or the 6 cups ones. Also a scale from Amazon they have one that front of it will come off so if you put a large bowl on it you can still see how much it weigh. It will only weigh up to 11lbs though. Love your videos.

      Same for the measuring cups. I have them in the rice bin, flour bin, sugar/allulose bins, salt tub, corn meal jar, wheat, dried lentil, and bean bins, coffee grounds. Also one for the dog food bin. I have a set in the laundry room. I even use a set of the measuring cups for outside/garage uses for fertilizer, etc….

Game changer here, too. The lid lifter can sometimes be found in antique stores as a pry-a-lid.... Great tool. I got mine for a quarter! I have wondered alot about your spice jars. They are in my Amazon cart already.

    I got the electric pressure cooker a couple months ago on sale with almost a hundred dollars off. It is awesome. First thing I canned was stew. I saw your soups video and would like to try those. After Thanksgiving I should have bones for broth to can. So glad I bought it. I was able to leave it and go pick up my great grandkids from school. It does the cool down and release all by itself.

    Presto electric canner, one can’t go wrong with it, especially beginners(even for habitual canners) who are petrified of pressure canning, this one will remove all fears. We are planning to buy another one (over all American canner, simply bc we couldn’t prevent steam from escaping during the pressure they are good no doubt), that’s how good it is. Hope this message will encourage all who’d want to try pressure canning to feed their family with superior foods. YOU KNOW WHAT ALL YOU PUT IN THEM, having to attempt to read on store bought ingredients one cannot even pronounce, you must know it can’t be good! This young lady’s info is very helpful.

    @susancoulange382 Год назад +2

    Hi Carter, that's a great list, especially for new canners. I did order the lid opener. I love my steam water bath canner for the same reasons you mentioned. I have 2 additional items you didn't mention. The Press and Seal.... it is a gadget that lets you vacuum seal jar lids that are too big for the lid attachment... like gallon jars. You can also use recycled jars like pickle and jelly jars for dried goods as long as the lid has that silicone strip inside the lid. Those reused jars are only for dried goods, like flour, sugar, cereal, etc. Not for home canning. The other is the steamer juicer. I never thought I needed one until this year's bumper crop of oranges. Then I thought: I could use it for grape juice, elderberry, etc. I bought an extra pot that replaces the juicer colander pot and it becomes a water distiller: removes heavy metals, salt, etc from any water. All you need is heat. I bought the VKP brand. There are cheaper ones on Amazon but I don't know if they would have the extra pot for the conversion. It is sustainable because no replacement filters are needed. You only need water and heat. VKP didn't have the pots in stock, so they tore down a complete set to send me the part I needed. Amazing customer service. Just FYI. Thank you for your great ideas and your super recipes! Love from the Mississippi coast.

The chopper is wonderful especially because i have arthritis in my hand. The electric pressure canner is definatly on my wish list this year. Love the fact I can use it on my table not taking up the valuable real estate in my kitchen. Although I love my instant pot canning cycle, its only good for small batches and doesn't take qts. 😊

      Thanks! I hope to do some canning of "leftovers", but at this point, I'm not sure there will be any. I reserved a turkey yesterday, but could only get one mid-size turkey. The first place I tried was completely sold out of mediums and larges. Hopefully there will be plenty for everyone and I can grab a second later just for canning.

    @constancebeck2992 Год назад +1

    Great video. Tks! I guess I'll try adding the steam canner to my Christmas list lol. I know I want a new immersion blender! Mine is a cuisinart but to use you have to push two buttons. One on the top and then the speed on the side. Hope you are doing well! My freeze dryer is still running, found celery for 99 cents and mushrooms for 99 cents at aldis. I am seriously considering dehydrating some pinto beans as I have some that are now hitting the ten year mark and I'm afraid they will not soften when cooked. So I am going to soak over night then cook them, then dehydrate for quick beans later. And have a very happy Birthday if I miss it later.

    • @growandpreserve
      @growandpreserve  Год назад

      Thanks, Connie! I can definitely see how the two button thing would be awkward. Of course your freeze dryer is still running! Mine has shipped but no idea where it is at the moment. Question for you: the medium says it is 25" deep. if I get a 24" table for it, will it sit on it safely, or do I need a wider table?
