- After publishing our video on the science of dry canning potatoes we received many comments with support, concerns, and blowback. We address those comments in this video.

The thing that continues to astonish me is: THEY'RE POTATOES! Why would people want to risk their - or their family's health - over a jar of potatoes? Seriously. I can think of way more exciting ways to risk my health!! 😅 I even saw one lady canning cheesecake - crumb crust, topping and all, in a mason jar. What the heck 🤣
The dry canning video and this video were great. Just because people have been doing things a certain way doesn't mean there isn't a better way, based on more information and sound science. I love your approach; you are a gifted teacher.
Very well done here! Thank you. My husband was at a “friend’s” house with 5 other buddies. The wife had potatoes she just learned to can and wanted everyone to try. Hubs called me and said there’s no liquid in the jars and should he try them. I said absolutely no. No no no. 7 people got sick. 3 were hospitalized. My hubby was fine. They haven’t spoken to us since. 🤷🏻♀️Canning is awesome but the rules of canning are for our safety. I deeply appreciate what you do. 🤗😎
I’m a recent widow, retired banker, living alone in an independent senior community by the beach, have never canned or preserved food but here I am… enthralled at your explanation of the science behind your topic with poise and patience. I watched every single minute of this video as I do all the rest of your content. One is never too old to keep an open mind and learn. 👍🏼😉
Thanks, Ms. Pam! I think the mistrust in the 3 letter offices is a tough one to bust, thanks to 2020. People were shamed, harassed, bullied, and some even lost their jobs because of the 3 letter office- recommendations!?! Then to find out, well, they used the office of 'science" to force me to do things that may or may not have been the best choice. WHICH corresponded with people learning how to CAN! I think with you using models, actual tangible models, some say AH-HA...but others have put up a wall out of self-preservation. That word TESTED is the key. 2020 did NOT come with the TESTED label, and if there were tests they were withheld. So, it's going to be difficult, as it was for you as a child, to change mindset, from someone they trust to science. Using trust the science isn't a good tag line these days. Maybe we need to learn the difference from science and scientist!
First question I’d ask to all the ppl who challenge your experiments is “What branch of science are you licensed in? How many years did you teach science?” I highly doubt their resume matches up to yours. Ppl should appreciate your FREE instruction!! I have a MS, but in communication disorders(Speech Pathology)
I have a simple economic explanation . If dry canning were safe , dont you think pro canning companies would be taking advantage of it ? It would save so much money on shipping the lighter cans . Please keep bringing the truth and safe way to can. Thank you.
I think it’s so wonderful that you care so much about other people’s safety to try to explain the “why” part of safe canning. But, you may have to resign yourself to the fact that so many people these days, hang on to a false belief, even in the face of actual proof of ANY kind. You can rest easy and know you have done your part, so admirably!
I tried dried canning potatoes and adding water before canning. My potatoes were hard. Then when I search on the Internet. I found out my water was probably the problem. Hard water equals hard potatoes. My best choice was trying Distilled water. That's next on my list to try. small batch only
Run your dry canning experiment again with your thermostat you have that goes in your jar and download the results.
One thing that is clear, we need to request more funding for more food preservation testing.
When I asked my mother how chickens got here, she replied, "The rooster jumps over the eggs."
I, and all of my friends , who do canning for our families, are so grateful for all that we learn from you guys. Please continue to give us your wonderful content. I love your personal stories and honesty. Thanks again for all you and Jim do for your dedicated audience, we all love you!
I use many of your canning recipes and they've all turned out great. When it comes to canning, I do trust the science since most of it has been around and proven for years...I'm just glad that my family didn't follow the corruption and lack of science that was used against the terrified world population in 2020.
You say it, I believe it! I trust your judgment. You don’t say it unless you have investigated it. Love your channel!
Ohhhh my goodness! I am laughing so hard, tears are in my eyes. Boys kissing you....."the fastest runner in the fourth grade". I'm still laughing as I'm submitting my comment. I know that you worked extremely hard striving to be the fastest runner. It's amazing how literal we can be. I'm just like you and I would have taken Mother's advice to heart also and I too, would have become the fastest runner.
I think the best possible proof that dry canning potatoes is not safe is to process a jar using your lil gadget that records the inside temperature of the jar. And then checking the logging. Love you, Jim and Pamela. You have taught me much! Thank you.
So glad you’re bringing this to light again. I was on a site a couple weeks ago and a woman was dry canning, and I explained the huge temperature difference between doing this with or without water, all she said was she had been doing this for years and then she wished me well on my canning journey. Sheesh! But if we don’t speak out there are others who (because she does it) will think it’s safe. I just recommend you guys for safe, smart canning.
As the daughter of an educator, I can see how heated these comments got you. It’s something only teachers kids can tell and you hide it well.
This is by far the best channel for those interested in food preservation. Just incredible.
