I was so freaking scared to pressure can that my new canner sat untouched for three years. I needed someone to walk my through step by step and you did that for me. You weren’t really in my kitchen but tonight you helped me pressure can my first thing ever, thank you! 💚
@tiffanie hutchins, I was just killing time at Wallyworld today, and walking down aisles, found ONE 16 qt Presto..and I scooped it up quick! The outside plastic wrap was still on. It's like they didn't even bother pulling it off knowing it wouldn't be on shelf for long lol. This is a hot commodity. I've been watching videos here on YT and how it's hard to find pressure canners, so I wasted no time. Now....I'm like, who is going to do this with me. I'm scurred LOL.
Same! I’ve had mine for about 4 years. I used it once but was scared I did everything wrong that I threw everything out! I didn’t want to kill myself or my family! I’m feeling brave again, but also still scared at the same time 😬
All these women on here that post videos about pressure cooking steps can learn a thing or two from this guy. They don’t even show you what to do. He explains it and also shows you how to use it.
WOW ... Great tutorial. I just turned 76 and entering my mid-life crisis. I cannon afford a Corvette or a Harley so I bought a 23 qt Presto Pressure Canner. My maiden voyage with this lovely ship will be next weekend. After watching thins video, I think I can do it. I have gotten everything I need together, except patients. I have never been able to learn that skill.
Here it is, 3 years after you posted this, and you are still helping novice canners gain confidence! Thank you so much for this extremely clear, thorough, and simple guide to the Presto canner. Your 'walking us through it in real time' guidance is just perfect for the first-timer. Thanks again!
I’ve watched several videos on pressure canning in an effort to become confident enough to actually try out my new 23 qt Presto. Of all those videos, this is by far the most clear and concise demonstration I’ve seen. Even the simple act of removing the knob from your stove to show the setting helped to make things more clear. Thank you! 🙂
I agree with you!!! I can't seem to get the pressure down to the 11 psi I need but now I know how to do that! Thank you SO much for this video. I am about to push the "subscribe" button! ; )
Sir, I can't thank you enough for this video! Yesterday was my first experience with my new Presto 23 qt pressure canner and I really had no idea how long things actually took in real-time to get the canner up to pressure PROPERLY. I used to have a 16 qt and I always had a problem with keeping the dial where it should be for more than 1 minute. It caused me to give up canning until I decided to give it another try with a new 23 qt. While waiting for it to heat up I just happened upon your video and it helped me immensely. You walked me through the process of slowly letting the pressure climb and adjusting the heat properly. I never saw that before! By the time I was done canning my 7 quarts of Beef Stew yesterday with a minimum of fuss I was happy happy happy!!! My pressure never moved more than a 1/2 point the entire 90 minutes. And here is the best part - for the first time in my canning life - the water in my canner when I removed my jars was crystal clear. I nearly wept with joy! Thank you!!!
I have been canning for about 70 years on my own with a canner for about 60 and I will say you are the best I've seen on teaching an explanation of a pressure canner. 🙋🏼🙏✝️💕
This is the best, easiest to follow, beginner instructional "How to run a canner" vid I have seen on YT. Love how you explain the controlled pressure up. And that you explained why it is so important. Well done sir.
@@TheMudbrooker You explained this much better, in my opinion, than another one I had just finished watching. (I was kinda lost on hers). I will watch yours again when I start. Thank you. :)
Every time I can, not often, I watch this video. The first two times, I wrote down my stove settings and approx. Time to get there. The key is no big fluctuations, to prevent syphoning. This is the BEST video.
I am from Germany and just imported a new presto pressure canner for myself. We do not have such things for personal use in Germany so I had to get one from the US. I searched a while for the best intro video on one of these things and yours is simply the best one - thank you so much for your introduction and very detailed video with all your tips and tricks. Super helpful. Looking forward to get that thing going now ;)
@@jeanineadele I've been looking for a pressure scanner here in Germany for a long time. I finally found one on Amazon and recently got it delivered. (Thank you dear God for the internet) Why aren't these ingenious things here !? To put it politely: the Germans are a bit strange !!! Anyway. I have now found one and here also a great guide on how to operate the part.
Basic instructions: - Let steam come out untill air lid pops without weight - Wait 5-10 more minutes - Put on weight - When pressure reaches 5 > turn down heat a little 8 > turn down " 11 > turn down " + set appropriate timer for product in cans 11 after 10 min > turn down " - Let cool untill air lid drops - Place pots on heat resistant surface with tool - Let cans cool 24 hours I wrote this for myself primarily cause I keep coming back to this video 😂 thanks a lot!
Thanks man - I watch this and pause it.. and continue it along w/ my pressure canning to remind me what to do each time.. lol. I must have watched this a dozen times so far!
too funny!! i did exactly the same thing. Pressure canning chicken this weekend had the video going while i was doing it!!l He has great instructions. This is one of the best I have ever watched
I remember my mom using a much smaller pressure cooker for cooking rather tough cuts of meat or wild game. I remembered some things about canning, but this was so educational and there were so many things that I didn’t know! I’m very thankful that I watch this video before I tried to do the canning because I would’ve made one big mess.
Thank you so much! I've been horrified of a pressure cooker my whole life. My mom wouldn't allow me in the kitchen while she was canning. My son began canning last year and so I had to jump in. Your video was so underwhelming! Simple...easy to follow and completely paralleled my experience. I love your voice and kept expecting you to say "we'll leave the lights on". Whoop! Whoop! First canning is cooling now. I am woman hear me roar!
Thank you so much for this. Grandma died before she could show me. Had a wonderful old neighbor lady teaching me with hers for a year and then the next year when I got my own we had to move so have been too scared to try it without someone there. You've really eased the anxiety and made it feel like I had an extra helping hand. God bless you for teaching other generations ❤
This guide is awesome. I have never pressure canned before today & with your help I have success. The pressure went up gradually and once it was at 11 it stayed there the entire time, I did regulate the heat just a little. I had this video on pause & referred to it every few minutes. It was like I had an experienced canner helping me.
I have watched probably a 100 canning videos over the last five years and none has ever given me the confidence I needed to can. You are a wonderful teacher, thank you for making this video. N.ow it is time to get those canners out of the basement storage.
This guy is the best teacher ever,I got my new presto 2 years ago ,ive never canned before I was so scared ,I read the direction ,watched videos,but then I came across this guy,and I've been going ever since.i still come back to this video when I get the canner out just to make sure I'm doing it right,last time I used my canner I got in a bit of a hurry taking the lid off,well the steam burnt my index finger very bad,2nd degree burn so yeah let your canner cool completely and wear oven mitts,safety always
This is by far the best tutorial on how to use a pressure canner! Luckily this is the exact model I bought. Every question I had was answered. You sir, are awesome! Thank you. I'm feeling much more confident now.
This video is exactly what I needed! I have been a bit intimidated to start canning but I will this weekend with notes from your video. Thanks for sharing 💜
Long time, experienced canner here and I must say that this video answered a couple questions I've had for years that I've never been able to get a reliable answer to. Thankyou!
This is the absolute best tutorial for canning. Because of this video I was able to start canning immediately. I bought my Presto Pressure Canner 2 weeks ago and started canning my chili and vegetable broth the next day. I wrote down your method. Thank you so much!!! Blessings ✨
This is an AMAZING video, thank you SO much you have no idea. Using a PC for the first few times is indeed a bit scary and this video gave me the confidence to know what I was doing.
I have watched, no joke, 5 videos about pressure canning, and they all left me with questions. This is the first video that leaves no rock unturned. Thank you so much for making this. I feel comfortable giving pressure canning a try now.
Excellent instructions with no unnecessary chatter..I am new to canning and I live in Australia where very few people do any pressure canning so I have no one to learn from except for RUclips. Your video has been the best that I have seen to learn, for using my new Presto 23. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for this tutorial, this is my first time canning and with your help, I now can preserve my Wild caught Alaskan Salmon. I followed your guidance step by step on my glass top stove and the results were perfect. Thank you
Hands down absolute BEST video on pressure canning!! Ive had mine sitting for weeks watching hours of "beginner" videos and finally came across your video. Im literally finishing up my very first time pressure canning after coming across your video a couple hours ago and everything went EXACTLY as you stated. No fear, no worries and spot on fail proof instructions!
Really appreciate this. Great job explaining from the perspective of someone who has never used a pressure cooker while imparting your experience without confusing us with too much information. Thank you!
You are a very gifted man to make anyone at ease!!! I'm 60 and finally pressure canning. You've made this such a pleasurable experience with your gifted personality! I'm excited to get my 3 grandsons to carry this " tradition on. I borrowed my father in law's 40 year old pressure canner. I belive i just inherited it...thanks to you. Praise the Lord Jesus! Thanks!

It has been awhile since I’ve used my pressure cooker. Although I have the book I found your video to be so much more valuable! Thank you for the detailed information step by step. This was assuring! You thoroughly answered all my questions, removed my doubts, and gave me the confidence to do this! Following your method I had no fluctuations with the pressure. Thank you!!
Thank for this demonstration. I did two dry runs, that is water in the canner but no jars to familiarize myself with its operation. Super clear explanation!
I had a bit of symphony get as well. Crushed tomatoes. I did ok on bringing and keeping pressure, but it was about 11.5 lbs pressure instead of the recommended 11. I think next ime I'll be more familiar with where to set my burner temp.
@@Noahsoak For crushed tomatoes, I was told to water bath can them instead of pressure canning. Very easy process! You'll need to add lemon juice because all tomatoes don't have the same acid level, but it's a simple process.
Your video turned the process into respect from literally terrifying. My mom had put the fear of God into me over canning. I appreciate you. Thank you!!
Such a great video. Every other video on RUclips is so confusing. You made it so simple and easy, thank you very much sir! Also I went to Culinary school recently and nobody explained it as good as you did.
I know this was 3 years ago, and I have had my canner in the box, UNOPENED and I have watched multiple videos, but for some reason THIS video and YOUR explanation made sense to me. I think this is the year I open my box.
We bought this canner after viewing your video on pressure canning. I was very intimidated until I watched your tutorial. It's fantastic, marvelous explanation. I used my canner for the first time today. Thank you, thank you. I actually feel competent using my pressure canner.
Oh my goodness yes I am nervous as a cat on hot tin roof! Ha, loved when you said I would probably be nervous for the first time trying out my canner. That actually made me feel better. Your voice is very calming and you explained everything to the T!
My mother pressure canned various foods including chicken legs, thighs with carrot, onion & potato. I truly and so badly want to learn this and I’m already freaking out before even purchasing one. This so far has given me the best knowledge & advice that beginners make. I’ll be sure to follow you for more tips. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
This was the most thorough explanation I found to use my new 23 Quart Presto Canner. I used this info to safely can 7 quarts of Italian sausage soup with kale and beans without incident.I really appreciate this upload. Thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Nice job. I canned 3.5 years ago with this canner and I've finally run out of the chicken I canned. Forgot the exact process and this video is a great refresher, covering all the important safety points. Much appreciated, from Australia.
Thank you very much for this video. I wanted to get into pressure canning and this video is going to be very helpful. * * UPDATE * * I followed all the steps and it worked brilliantly. I got to 11psi and stayed there and never had to move the stove dial to adjust. Canned 6 quarts of chicken broth and had no syphoning and all sealed. Thanks again for the video.
Best starter video ever! My friend loaned me her extra presto canner and NO instructions. My first run did not go well. I had to clean everything really well as the lock vent would not pop up and seal and I didn't know much about the weight. This video was just what I needed! Thank you..
Thankful for your video, 20 minutes of waiting for my gauge to move thought I had a faulty canner. I didn't realize I didn't have the lid on correctly.
Thank you! I used this method this evening for two canning sessions and it works wonderfully! Every newbee should watch this tutorial. Brining the canner to pressure is what I was missing. A rather important step. God bless and you saved me! Otherwise, I was stressed about the fluctuations. Phew! Processed Italian Chili tonight.
how long did you wait to start the second batch so far I have an hour difference from my water bath canning i started both at the same time and will build up cook and now cool down my wb maybe the winner here
@@maryhollinshead9790 Hello, about 45 minutes in between. Rinse out the canner and cool it down to get a fresh start. It really is all about taking the tortious approach and bring up the pressure slowly. Letting it cool slowly is good too. At least 10 minutes once you remove the weight, crack the lid a bit, and then just lift it a little bit. That gives it another good 30 minutes. Just bring them back to the room better. Fairly successful. I think there’s only been one that didn’t seal properly and I’ve been canning a solid amount of jars since July. When you’re chasing fluctuations in pressure it is exhausting and definitely causes problems, like siphoning. Good luck! I feel like I’ve been doing this for years! I have not water bath canned yet. I’m not a big jam or fruit person I can buy that stuff easily. I’m more of a protein and meal processing person. Just did three types of soups over the weekend!
May I add to the comments of praise. Thank you thank you for posting this video. It was clear and easy to understand and completely demystified my first pressure canning run.
Thank you so taking the time to create this tutorial. Today was the 1st time I ever canned using my new 23 quart Presto Pressure cooker. Your information is the clearest I’ve come across, precise and it equipped me to know what to expect when using this canner for the 1st few times.
Don’t think I said enough. Your video was very helpful, I’ve had this presto cat her, like yours, for several years and was afraid to use it. Your video gave me confidence. Thank you.
Thank you. These are the best instructions I've seen. I received my 23 qt Presto a few days ago and have trying to get up the nerve to use it. Using your instructions, I think i can do this.
I just purchased a Presto pressure canner and found your video and it has reassured me that l can use it. The way you have explained step by step on how to use the canner was so informative and educating. When l go to use my canner l will be watching your video at the same time. Thank you for sharing.
Hands down the one of my favorite channels on RUclips! Your "The Company You Keep" series was so amazing and hilarious! I'm subscribing with notifications!
Thank you for your video! I found this for my wife, as we were new at canning, and could not keep the pressure at 11, no matter how hard we tried! And all our hard work siphoned out! Presto should write different directions! They focus on the pressure regulator rocking more than the pressure! There's no way it rocks like they want it to, at 11 pounds! If at all! We were ready to give up on canning altogether! As it was so frustrating! Thank you so much for taking the time to show us the right way! You are awesome!
I so did what you said all beginners do!! I over shot with the temperature, then tried to dial it back! LOL This video is better than the instruction manual!! The manual doesn't tell you to go slow and steady with adjusting the temperature, hence why I over shot. I did have 1 glass pint with water to 'test' but guess what happened? YUP - it broke! Good thing I didn't have any food in there! Now to take a step back...since my glasstop stove is old I didn't want to chance using it so I purchased and induction burner (Duxtop 1800 watt, holds up to 65 pounds) and the Presto Induction 23Q Pressure Canner. So I was learning how to use 2 new kitchen gadgets at the same time. After my first try/fail, I did another test later on (no jars this time) and was able to dial in the burner with the canner and took notes when the dial gauge moved and the temp that worked to keep it steady. I may just do another test tomorrow (with a pint jar of water) to build my confidence before filling it with jars of food. If this jar doesn't break (lol), then I know I can move forward! Thank you so much for your time and knowledge!!! xoxo
Thank you! I was so confused when I was waiting 15 min to put my weight on and nothing was happening. I really appreciate you taking your time to show what exactly to do step by step 👍🏽
Excellent video!!!! I'm a rookie, searching for my first pressure canner and trying to learn all I can. Can't afford the American, but now know more about what to look for. You've given us a lot of valuable information ... thank you!!!
Thank you for explaining this clearly and step by step. I'm new to this pressure canning. Now I think I can get my pressure canner out and get canning. It has sat in a box for 3 years. Thank you again !!
Thank you for such a great video. I was getting apprehensive after reading the owner’s manual but you demystified it for me and now I’m excited to give it a shot!
Definitely the best video I've seen. This helped so much, and everything you said worked for us though we had to turn out stove down to 1 finally on our electric stove. Thank you so much for this video from a first time pressure canner. :)
Thank you very much i can say thats hands down the best no BS Tutorial video on canning i have ever seen you covered every little detail thank you Mr Mud
THANK YOU! You have answered so many of my questions about adjusting the dial on my stove and how the pressure will be at 11, then it goes to 13 and the reason why. It explains so much and will be very helpful to me. I appreciate this video and the way you've explained how long it can take to get where you need to be and that more jars means more time. SO HELPFUL!! Enjoy your day! Catherine
I just bought one of these pressure cookers the other day, never done this in my life. But I want to learn, plus I have a garden this year and need to learn! Thank u for the video!
Thank you for such a comprehensive video! I've had a canner for 4 years but was so scared to use it I had contemplated using it as a planter 😂 after watching this a couple of times I'm watching my gauge rise for the first time 😄
Thank you for explaining pressure canning tips. First time using a pressure canner and I was petrified. You helped me to feel confident to try and it worked like a charm. Thank you so much!
You sir, are a life saver! I am so glad I took the time to watch all of this! That advice on how to bring pressure up was golden! I have the same presto (and oddly by the way, the same exact counter tops! lol) and all I have done with it is water bath. I've been holding off pressure canning because I'm scared. I've yet to do it ever in my life. Today I was gifted a bunch of produce and now I actually have to pressure can to preserve all this. I am grateful that you took the time to explain this process. You are right the directions are silent on some of these tips. God bless you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I HAVE A NEW CANNER ITS STILL IN THE BOX.. UNTIL NOW I WAS TERRIFIED!! NOW...I BELIEVE YOU HAVE TAKEN AWAY MY FEARS. THANK YOU AGAIN!
Thank you Sir! I’m new to canning and this video has been by far the best one. Easy to understand and follow. I’m still nervous but I think I can do it. 😊
Thank you! A beautiful dempnstration. I never could get it right and sold my American canner. Just bought the Presto and now understand why i couldn't get it right. I went straight for the target psi instead of building pressure in increments. I can't thank you enough. As a matter of fact, you were awesome here. Wouldn't you know it took a man to show us! Lol😅
That was a _fantastic_ video! I've watched a lot of how-to videos, on all sorts of topics, and that was probably the best one I've ever seen. You were detailed and precise, thorough and specific ~ you quite simply left me with no questions to ask; but you stayed on-point through the whole thing, and didn't go on with a bunch of irrelevant bullshit. Thank you. And incredibly well done! PS: G'day from Australia.
Sir, I'm so glad i found your instructional. I went and purchased this pressure cooker. Honestly I was a lil intimidated running it for the first time but with your detailed instructions from start to finish, I was able to run it the first day I got it without worry. Feeling real good. Thank you sir and cheers.
I just ordered the presto 23 qt canner. It’s a bit overwhelming that most videos online are only the American made brand. So I’ve been really nervous to use it when it arrives. But after 2 years of lockdowns and the inflation skyrocketing I really want to take advantage of when I find meat on sale. And I already have 4 freezers so it seems smarter to learn to can. And people are right about your voice. It’s calm. Makes for a good teacher.
Bath canned for a while, now starting pressure canning. Had someone let me borrow theirs so i could try before i buy. Found your video here and half way through the very good informational video, i realized you remind me of Tom Boddet from the Motel 6 commercials on the radio. Also thank you for the great vid.

Ikr? I'm John bodet..and ill leave the light on for ya!! 🤣
I thought the exact same thing about his voice
Just ordered a Presto canner. Your video is the best instructional how-to by far. No silly music or blabbing on and on. THANK YOU.
Basic instructions:
- Let steam come out untill air lid pops without weight
- Wait 5-10 more minutes
- Put on weight
- When pressure reaches 5 > turn down heat a little
8 > turn down "
11 > turn down " + set appropriate timer for product in cans
11 after 10 min > turn down "
- Let cool untill air lid drops
- Place pots on heat resistant surface with tool
- Let cans cool 24 hours

Right
I've been canning with this same canner for over 35 years and this is the best video on canning I've seen.
This guy is the best teacher ever,I got my new presto 2 years ago ,ive never canned before I was so scared ,I read the direction ,watched videos,but then I came across this guy,and I've been going ever since.i still come back to this video when I get the canner out just to make sure I'm doing it right,last time I used my canner I got in a bit of a hurry taking the lid off,well the steam burnt my index finger very bad,2nd degree burn so yeah let your canner cool completely and wear oven mitts,safety always
This is by far the best tutorial on how to use a pressure canner! Luckily this is the exact model I bought. Every question I had was answered. You sir, are awesome! Thank you. I'm feeling much more confident now.
This video is exactly what I needed! I have been a bit intimidated to start canning but I will this weekend with notes from your video. Thanks for sharing 💜
Long time, experienced canner here and I must say that this video answered a couple questions I've had for years that I've never been able to get a reliable answer to. Thankyou!
Since you produced this video, those All-Americans are now $349+ and out of stock for over 8 months! Great video and I just subscribed! Thank you!
This is the absolute best tutorial for canning. Because of this video I was able to start canning immediately. I bought my Presto Pressure Canner 2 weeks ago and started canning my chili and vegetable broth the next day. I wrote down your method. Thank you so much!!! Blessings ✨
This is an AMAZING video, thank you SO much you have no idea. Using a PC for the first few times is indeed a bit scary and this video gave me the confidence to know what I was doing.
I have watched, no joke, 5 videos about pressure canning, and they all left me with questions. This is the first video that leaves no rock unturned. Thank you so much for making this. I feel comfortable giving pressure canning a try now.
Excellent instructions with no unnecessary chatter..I am new to canning and I live in Australia where very few people do any pressure canning so I have no one to learn from except for RUclips. Your video has been the best that I have seen to learn, for using my new Presto 23. Thank you 😊
This was a MUCH enter instruction than the canning class I took last year. You have given me great confidence to use my Presto! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial, this is my first time canning and with your help, I now can preserve my Wild caught Alaskan Salmon. I followed your guidance step by step on my glass top stove and the results were perfect. Thank you
Hands down absolute BEST video on pressure canning!! Ive had mine sitting for weeks watching hours of "beginner" videos and finally came across your video. Im literally finishing up my very first time pressure canning after coming across your video a couple hours ago and everything went EXACTLY as you stated. No fear, no worries and spot on fail proof instructions!
Couldn’t even figure out how the lid went on for 20 minutes . Needless to say I was nervous to try it tonight . This really helped . Thanks a ton man
Really appreciate this. Great job explaining from the perspective of someone who has never used a pressure cooker while imparting your experience without confusing us with too much information. Thank you!
I’m pressure canning my FIRST time tonight, & I had your video on the whole time! Thank you! You helped me tremendously ! I have the same canner too.
Me too!
Me too!
Me too on Christmas Eve.
You are a very gifted man to make anyone at ease!!!
I'm 60 and finally pressure canning. You've made this such a pleasurable experience with your gifted personality! I'm excited to get my 3 grandsons to carry this " tradition on. I borrowed my father in law's 40 year old pressure canner. I belive i just inherited it...thanks to you.
Praise the Lord Jesus! Thanks! Fish Fisher/ Fish's Antler Art Bozeman Montana
It has been awhile since I’ve used my pressure cooker. Although I have the book I found your video to be so much more valuable! Thank you for the detailed information step by step. This was assuring! You thoroughly answered all my questions, removed my doubts, and gave me the confidence to do this! Following your method I had no fluctuations with the pressure. Thank you!!
Thank for this demonstration. I did two dry runs, that is water in the canner but no jars to familiarize myself with its operation. Super clear explanation!
As a newbie, this is the best explanation of regulating the pressure. I have been over doing it, and experience siphoning.Thank you!
I had a bit of symphony get as well. Crushed tomatoes. I did ok on bringing and keeping pressure, but it was about 11.5 lbs pressure instead of the recommended 11. I think next ime I'll be more familiar with where to set my burner temp.
@@Noahsoak For crushed tomatoes, I was told to water bath can them instead of pressure canning. Very easy process! You'll need to add lemon juice because all tomatoes don't have the same acid level, but it's a simple process.
I’ve watch so many, many canning videos. This is the best how to canning video. The focus was where it needed to be. Thank you 🙏
Your video turned the process into respect from literally terrifying. My mom had put the fear of God into me over canning. I appreciate you. Thank you!!
Such a great video. Every other video on RUclips is so confusing. You made it so simple and easy, thank you very much sir! Also I went to Culinary school recently and nobody explained it as good as you did.
This was incredibly helpful. I was legitimately nervous until I followed this tutorial. Precise and clear directions. Thank you so much.
I know this was 3 years ago, and I have had my canner in the box, UNOPENED and I have watched multiple videos, but for some reason THIS video and YOUR explanation made sense to me. I think this is the year I open my box.
We bought this canner after viewing your video on pressure canning. I was very intimidated until I watched your tutorial. It's fantastic, marvelous explanation. I used my canner for the first time today. Thank you, thank you. I actually feel competent using my pressure canner.
Oh my goodness yes I am nervous as a cat on hot tin roof! Ha, loved when you said I would probably be nervous for the first time trying out my canner. That actually made me feel better. Your voice is very calming and you explained everything to the T!
My mother pressure canned various foods including chicken legs, thighs with carrot, onion & potato. I truly and so badly want to learn this and I’m already freaking out before even purchasing one. This so far has given me the best knowledge & advice that beginners make. I’ll be sure to follow you for more tips. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
This was the most thorough explanation I found to use my new 23 Quart Presto Canner. I used this info to safely can 7 quarts of Italian sausage soup with kale and beans without incident.I really appreciate this upload. Thanks!
I only can once a year and everytime I have to pull out your video and review it. The best video out there hands down.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Nice job. I canned 3.5 years ago with this canner and I've finally run out of the chicken I canned. Forgot the exact process and this video is a great refresher, covering all the important safety points. Much appreciated, from Australia.
Thank you very much for this video. I wanted to get into pressure canning and this video is going to be very helpful.
* * UPDATE * * I followed all the steps and it worked brilliantly. I got to 11psi and stayed there and never had to move the stove dial to adjust. Canned 6 quarts of chicken broth and had no syphoning and all sealed. Thanks again for the video.
Best starter video ever! My friend loaned me her extra presto canner and NO instructions. My first run did not go well. I had to clean everything really well as the lock vent would not pop up and seal and I didn't know much about the weight. This video was just what I needed! Thank you..
Thankful for your video, 20 minutes of waiting for my gauge to move thought I had a faulty canner. I didn't realize I didn't have the lid on correctly.
Thank you! I used this method this evening for two canning sessions and it works wonderfully! Every newbee should watch this tutorial. Brining the canner to pressure is what I was missing. A rather important step. God bless and you saved me! Otherwise, I was stressed about the fluctuations. Phew! Processed Italian Chili tonight.
how long did you wait to start the second batch so far I have an hour difference from my water bath canning i started both at the same time and will build up cook and now cool down my wb maybe the winner here
@@maryhollinshead9790 Hello, about 45 minutes in between. Rinse out the canner and cool it down to get a fresh start. It really is all about taking the tortious approach and bring up the pressure slowly. Letting it cool slowly is good too. At least 10 minutes once you remove the weight, crack the lid a bit, and then just lift it a little bit. That gives it another good 30 minutes. Just bring them back to the room better. Fairly successful. I think there’s only been one that didn’t seal properly and I’ve been canning a solid amount of jars since July. When you’re chasing fluctuations in pressure it is exhausting and definitely causes problems, like siphoning. Good luck! I feel like I’ve been doing this for years! I have not water bath canned yet. I’m not a big jam or fruit person I can buy that stuff easily. I’m more of a protein and meal processing person. Just did three types of soups over the weekend!
May I add to the comments of praise. Thank you thank you for posting this video. It was clear and easy to understand and completely demystified my first pressure canning run.
Great Video. Checked all the boxes of my concerns. With a voice like yours, you could tell children's stories. Thank you!
Thank you so taking the time to create this tutorial. Today was the 1st time I ever canned using my new 23 quart Presto Pressure cooker. Your information is the clearest I’ve come across, precise and it equipped me to know what to expect when using this canner for the 1st few times.
Your voice, intonation and clarity is wonderful!
Thanks so much for this video. You covered everything and my first pressure canning experience was a success because of you!
Don’t think I said enough. Your video was very helpful, I’ve had this presto cat her, like yours, for several years and was afraid to use it. Your video gave me confidence. Thank you.
Thank you, after at least 3 years of having my canner you’ve helped me decide to do it. Thanks for the step by step.
Thank you. These are the best instructions I've seen. I received my 23 qt Presto a few days ago and have trying to get up the nerve to use it. Using your instructions, I think i can do this.
This is the best explanation of and guidance around siphoning I've ever seen. Thanks!
I just purchased a Presto pressure canner and found your video and it has reassured me that l can use it. The way you have explained step by step on how to use the canner was so informative and educating. When l go to use my canner l will be watching your video at the same time. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent tutorial ! Long time water bath canner. First time user with Pressure Canner. Here we go!!!
Hands down the one of my favorite channels on RUclips! Your "The Company You Keep" series was so amazing and hilarious! I'm subscribing with notifications!
Thank you much.
I'm just getting started with the 16 quart model. This video is exactly what I was looking for. Very informative. Very helpful. Thank you.
Thank you for your video! I found this for my wife, as we were new at canning, and could not keep the pressure at 11, no matter how hard we tried! And all our hard work siphoned out! Presto should write different directions! They focus on the pressure regulator rocking more than the pressure! There's no way it rocks like they want it to, at 11 pounds! If at all! We were ready to give up on canning altogether! As it was so frustrating! Thank you so much for taking the time to show us the right way! You are awesome!
I so did what you said all beginners do!! I over shot with the temperature, then tried to dial it back! LOL This video is better than the instruction manual!! The manual doesn't tell you to go slow and steady with adjusting the temperature, hence why I over shot. I did have 1 glass pint with water to 'test' but guess what happened? YUP - it broke! Good thing I didn't have any food in there! Now to take a step back...since my glasstop stove is old I didn't want to chance using it so I purchased and induction burner (Duxtop 1800 watt, holds up to 65 pounds) and the Presto Induction 23Q Pressure Canner. So I was learning how to use 2 new kitchen gadgets at the same time. After my first try/fail, I did another test later on (no jars this time) and was able to dial in the burner with the canner and took notes when the dial gauge moved and the temp that worked to keep it steady. I may just do another test tomorrow (with a pint jar of water) to build my confidence before filling it with jars of food. If this jar doesn't break (lol), then I know I can move forward! Thank you so much for your time and knowledge!!! xoxo
Thank you! I was so confused when I was waiting 15 min to put my weight on and nothing was happening. I really appreciate you taking your time to show what exactly to do step by step 👍🏽
Excellent video!!!! I'm a rookie, searching for my first pressure canner and trying to learn all I can. Can't afford the American, but now know more about what to look for. You've given us a lot of valuable information ... thank you!!!
Thank you for explaining this clearly and step by step. I'm new to this pressure canning. Now I think I can get my pressure canner out and get canning. It has sat in a box for 3 years. Thank you again !!
This is the FIRST time I have heard (or read) anyone explain why you should vent for 5-10 minutes before putting on the weight. Thank you!
Thank you for such a great video. I was getting apprehensive after reading the owner’s manual but you demystified it for me and now I’m excited to give it a shot!
Definitely the best video I've seen. This helped so much, and everything you said worked for us though we had to turn out stove down to 1 finally on our electric stove. Thank you so much for this video from a first time pressure canner. :)
Thanks to your video, I successfully used my presto for the first time.
I also wanted to say that I find your voice very soothing!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! It was so helpful as I christened my new Presto 23 qrt canner.
Thanks! This helped me do my first ever batch correctly without being so nervous. Your tips for getting up to pressure worked perfectly!
Thank you for a great instructional video. It's so nice to be able to watch an experienced canner walk through the process.
Thank you very much i can say thats hands down the best no BS Tutorial video on canning i have ever seen you covered every little detail thank you Mr Mud
THANK YOU! You have answered so many of my questions about adjusting the dial on my stove and how the pressure will be at 11, then it goes to 13 and the reason why. It explains so much and will be very helpful to me. I appreciate this video and the way you've explained how long it can take to get where you need to be and that more jars means more time. SO HELPFUL!! Enjoy your day! Catherine
I just bought one of these pressure cookers the other day, never done this in my life. But I want to learn, plus I have a garden this year and need to learn! Thank u for the video!
Thank you for such a comprehensive video! I've had a canner for 4 years but was so scared to use it I had contemplated using it as a planter 😂 after watching this a couple of times I'm watching my gauge rise for the first time 😄
Thank you for explaining pressure canning tips. First time using a pressure canner and I was petrified. You helped me to feel confident to try and it worked like a charm. Thank you so much!
Excellent video, wish this had been available a few years ago when I started canning. Referring this to my daughter & her friends. :) Thank you!
You sir, are a life saver! I am so glad I took the time to watch all of this! That advice on how to bring pressure up was golden! I have the same presto (and oddly by the way, the same exact counter tops! lol) and all I have done with it is water bath. I've been holding off pressure canning because I'm scared. I've yet to do it ever in my life. Today I was gifted a bunch of produce and now I actually have to pressure can to preserve all this. I am grateful that you took the time to explain this process. You are right the directions are silent on some of these tips. God bless you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I HAVE A NEW CANNER ITS STILL IN THE BOX..
UNTIL NOW I WAS TERRIFIED!!
NOW...I BELIEVE YOU HAVE TAKEN AWAY MY FEARS.
THANK YOU AGAIN!
Thanks! My canner sat for 2 years ! This is best teaching .
Thank you Sir! I’m new to canning and this video has been by far the best one. Easy to understand and follow. I’m still nervous but I think I can do it. 😊
Very informative and perfect for the beginner. I’m no longer afraid of using my canner! Thank you!
Thank you! A beautiful dempnstration. I never could get it right and sold my American canner. Just bought the Presto and now understand why i couldn't get it right. I went straight for the target psi instead of building pressure in increments. I can't thank you enough. As a matter of fact, you were awesome here. Wouldn't you know it took a man to show us! Lol😅
These are the best instructions ever. I have written them down and don't can without them. Thank you!
That was a _fantastic_ video!
I've watched a lot of how-to videos, on all sorts of topics, and that was probably the best one I've ever seen.
You were detailed and precise, thorough and specific ~ you quite simply left me with no questions to ask; but you stayed on-point through the whole thing, and didn't go on with a bunch of irrelevant bullshit.
Thank you. And incredibly well done!
PS: G'day from Australia.
Sir, I'm so glad i found your instructional. I went and purchased this pressure cooker. Honestly I was a lil intimidated running it for the first time but with your detailed instructions from start to finish, I was able to run it the first day I got it without worry. Feeling real good. Thank you sir and cheers.
I just ordered the presto 23 qt canner. It’s a bit overwhelming that most videos online are only the American made brand. So I’ve been really nervous to use it when it arrives. But after 2 years of lockdowns and the inflation skyrocketing I really want to take advantage of when I find meat on sale. And I already have 4 freezers so it seems smarter to learn to can.
And people are right about your voice. It’s calm. Makes for a good teacher.
Bath canned for a while, now starting pressure canning. Had someone let me borrow theirs so i could try before i buy. Found your video here and half way through the very good informational video, i realized you remind me of Tom Boddet from the Motel 6 commercials on the radio.
Also thank you for the great vid.
Thank you so much for this video. I just used my pressure canner for the first time to make pickles. This was very informative- I learned a lot.
