Canning 101: Home Food Preservation Equipment
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- You guys seemed to have really enjoy some of the Back to Basic's videos that Rachel has done recently, so we decided to bring you another! This video will focus on what equipment you will need, if you’re just getting started. There can be SO MUCH stuff people show and feature in the videos, it can be hard to really get a good handle on what you REALLY NEED. What are the essentials, vs the things that are just nice to have? We’ll cover all of that in this video and share with you, what we’ve learned from the last 6 years or so of canning a LOT of food. I hope you enjoy, and if you have any questions, please leave them down in the comments and we’ll do our best to answer them. ♥ Rachel

Canning 101: Beginners Equipment Guide (Back to Basics)
A lot of helpful information. Thank you. At 73 yo, I bought my very first pressure canner last week. I think I'm finally over my fears of pressure canning. HalleluYah!
Blessings from N. Alabama 🤗
I've watched the ladies in my family can up until my teens. I canned early in my marriage. I'm out of practice but your videos are helping me look forward to a bountiful garden without being as nervous getting ready to can.
Thanks for taking the time to show all of us what we need for canning. People I know laugh at me when I snatch up canning jars, lids and rings when I see them. You can never have enough.
You turned me on to the use of a roaster in batch canning a couple years ago, and it was a game changer! I now have two, one from goodwill, and one from marketplace.
I just started steam canning and it is so fun! To have people teach the important things in this community has been invaluable to me. I pray for each and everyone of you that teach. Thank you!
Started my canning journey and I’ve been watching all your videos about canning. I’m sharing this weekend with water bath canning, jellies and pickles to get my feet wet. Super excited.
One thing that most experienced canners front mention is tea towels dish cloths and drying mats are essential party's of canninh
Each video that you post, I am a wee more confident lol ugh ❤ Thank you for taking the time to help those of us who so desperately want to learn and do it right- for our families ❤ would you believe that I have everything needed....except 100% confidence haha I'm soooooo close tho!
You can do it! Trust yourself…trust the process. 😊
You can do it! I was nervous too and then one day I said Heck just do it! I even splurged and bought the Ball electric water bath canner and I haven’t looked back! I just know you’ll do great and have a “Ball” 😉!
You got this Dawn! Just do it! I was scared at first too. First thing I ever canned came from 15 bags of cranberries. I had juice concentrate, jelly, and sauce! If I can do this you can too! Trust yourself and all you have learned and trust the science!
Hopefully by this point you’ve jumped in and are thoroughly enjoying the sense of accomplishment! What a joy to have food you prepared yourself and beginning of food security for you and your family. I like to can with my daughter sometimes. Perhaps you have a friend or family member to join your adventure.
I've been struggling with how to store my rings, but I love how you have yours up! Thanks for showing your equipment and talking through it all.
Have been canning for many years...but never stop learning!! And we love to see what ideas others have!! Thanks to everyone for sharing!!
Great advice. I started canning 40 years ago but haven’t done any the last few years. This helped me remember things I need to get back into it. Thanks for sharing. I hope you’re enjoying this beautiful weather we are having here. Stay safe.
It was such a joy to watch you share your canning 101 knowledge with all of us. I am retired and living in a senior apartment, but recall the days when I put up all the produce from my garden. I passed on all my canning equipment, but sure do have the itch to at least jump back into it and put a few shelf stable items on my pantry shelves.
"[Canning] jar stash" is the most wholesome thing I have ever heard.
I love how organized you keep your canning supplies, Rachel. You shared so much great information, it is going to be very helpful for new canners.
At this point I’m fairly convinced that you are superwoman. Thank you, thank you, THANK you for giving us a glimpse at what this lifestyle looks like while working full time. I love so many homestead channels, but I feel like many of them are people who have been able to transition to quitting their jobs and relying on RUclips or other sources of income. I love that for them, truly, but as a working wife and mom sometimes it feels like I will never have the time, and seeing what you and your husband have been able to accomplish has been more encouraging than you’ll ever know. I so appreciate your channel and everything you share!
Remember canning when I was younger with my mother those are the memory that warm my heart
I've been canning for more than 49 years, but this was very helpful, to remind me 9f things I need to get my supplies ready for canning season...I hate having to run to the store mid project because I didn't have my supplies gathered ahead of time.
I am LOVING what you do... both in your life and on your homestead. I farm/ranch/homestead out in northeastern Colorado on the prairie. I love listening to you and you perspective. You truly have a talent for teaching... the truth and sensibility and reassurance you offer is such a fine gift.
I am a new canner and love how much I have been able to learn. I was so overwhelmed with all the info out there but with everything going on, and the lessons lived and learned after hurricane Maria and the recent pandemic, I want to make sure my family has the necessary nourishment when the need arises. Thank you for sharing with us and breaking it down to “easy understanding”.
MIchigan Marcia here, so glad more folks are learning the craft. Your videos are so inspiri ng. Thank you.
You are amazing Rachel. I am retired and I can’t get done what you do! I’ve learned so much from your canning videos.
I love anytime you do a back to basics! It helps me simplify and process everything and to not be as overwhelmed. This 23 year old definitely appreciates all the advice and tips you give.
You are correct about the nesco I bought a roaster after watching you do broth and tomatoes you are correct the Crock-Pot doesn't do it I am so pleased with adding that roaster to my collection of canning items. Thanks Rachel for taking time out to help us all have a better understanding of canning and equipment needed
Thank you for the valuable information. I pray for a good growing and canning season for all.
Back to basics! I agree that the roaster is a great tool and it makes a big difference in time savings. After this past year, we know how important it is to have a big back-up of jars and lids. Thanks!
This brings back memories of long ago.
Coming from a very large family. We always had a garden and my mother canned a variety of foods.
Some of my favorites included, cinnamon pears, spiced crab apples, piccalilli, chow chow and green beans with Shellies.
The baby chicks are just so adorable. The one piece of equipment my mom has been able to pass onto me is her water bath canner and I am grateful we have it. I have been looking at the thrift stores around here and all I can find is coffee pots. Apparently, people in Northern Michigan love their coffee. I've been looking for a kitchen aid for the last five years. I found one at Salvation Army, but I wasn't sure of the price. When I went back it was gone. I still want one. I like how you have your rings displayed.
There's some wonderful suggestions here. I have put hundreds of jars of delicious food on my shelf in just 2 years with just a $20 water bath canner from Walmart and a set of tools in the box for $10 and whatever most people have at home, and JARS. I do have a 16 qt pressure canner that I haven't used yet, only 2 solid years in so I'm working on it. I have a lot more tools now and it does help but not necessary o get the job done. I can't emphasize enough to start small.
Your content is absolutely wonderful, but I’m here for your voice 😃 it’s the peace we all need right now 🙏🏻💙
Lovely as always. The thing with jars is, if you happen to really like canning--you're going to need a lot of jars, I'm learning! I started beginning of February and I think I'm up to 60 jars canned now. Hopefully once some jar stock is established not too many will break each year, so there's less up front cost. Keeping my eyes open for a roaster oven! Thanks again for the video.
I love the way you are storing your rings. When I was a kid there were rings all over the kitchen getting hung up in drawers, etc. Thank you for all the tips and ideas. Such great information.
Thanks for the great overview! Canning jars are hard to find, but I found 6 quart jars at a thrift store the other day! Excited to get more food on the shelves!
Thank you. I am a new canner myself and I find your videos very helpful. After this year’s Canuary, I grabbed the bull by the horns and started pressure canning. Now, I am addicted and enjoying every minute of it. Plus, it gives me piece of mind that I am able to take care of my family and provide food insurance. Again, thank you. Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️
I'm excited for this season. Started my seeds this morning for this year. Started seeds for the first time last year after watching you start yours. I had at least 98% success :) I had to give so may plants away, they did so well :) I canned all summer/fall. And I just love it. I've grown gardens for 25 years and canned that long, but it sure is fun to start from scratch. I have been seed saving as well, so excited to see what I can grow from them. God Bless
Love the rings at the bottom of the pot tip! Thanks! I'm so ready to plant my small garden! I live in Texas so it's right around the corner
I also reuse food jars. My Amish friends reuse everything and their grocery stores sell new white lids for all jar sizes. I love the for-jar lids as well. I ordered them back in January when they were on sale and Leisa had her discount code. I use the pickle crisp in my pickled banana pepper rings. Works great. Clear - jel is for pie filling. My Amish friends introduced me to Therm - flo. It doesn't break down in canning like cornstarch does. Great video for learning. You have a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for sharing!
Clear-jel is what you were trying to think of for pie fillings! Great tips for newbies. Also, I use any salt that is pure, no additives (Such as iodine) to can.
I was going to ask what the difference is between that canning salt in the little green bags vs kosher salt!
Man do I agree with you about the roaster and food processor! If your budget allows these 2 items are huge time savers.
This video was very refreshing. It’s interesting to see what others have and use for their canning adventures. Thank you for another great video Rachel! 🤗
Your antique canner that you keep for looks is what I use for my canner. It belonged to my grandmother-in-law which my mother-in-law inherited, then I inherited it. It’s been doing a great job, and all the original parts are still on it. And yes it has been checked out by the local canner Expert.
This video motivates me to go downstairs and organize for canning storage spaces. Thanks, Rachel. Love your vlog.
if you don't have enough rings I have used a tea towel fold several times, or a very thick facecloth or a silpa for the bottom of your pot, or even small cake cooling racks in my water bath canners
It’s good to be reminded of different products available for canning
I'm loving all your info on canning!! Thanks for refreshing my memory from 40 years ago when I canned. Next I'm doing grape jelly and peach jam! My husband says I have jar radar because I spot jars at goodwill and in stores and grab them lol! Have a great night!
Awesome video! I wish I would have had this video when I first started (about a year ago). I still have a lot to learn and I got some really good information from this video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I always look forward to your videos. Have a blessed day! 💜
Rachel, this was an awesome video. Thank you! I love your practical point of view. I started canning 5 months ago, and you were such great help. 💕 With each canning session I feel a bit more confident.
I am so inspired by you! I am living in a town house so I have to purchase my produce from local farmers markets and stores when things are on sale. Support your local farmers!
Canning is my favorite way to preserve. All the jars on the shelfs is the most beautiful sight in my opinion. Thank you for another great vlog!
Newbie! I have done cold water bath canning, but never pressure canning. Excited to start!!!
I am a long time viewer and newbie canner, both water and pressure canner. These videos are so helpful. Thank you so much!
I am so grateful for your words of wisdom Rachel. Any advice is always appreciated. Thank you so much!!!
It is great to hear so many people are starting to can. It is very rewarding to have canned food on the pantry shelf.
Rachel, I've been binging your channel each weekend, soaking up a ton of information. Much appreciation for you and Todd. I scored a new in the box Victorio steam juicer at an auction for a fraction of store price. Resale shops, garage sales, auction sales are great sources for preservation equipment.
I have totally abandoned canning and have become a freeze-drying addict. Harvest Right freeze dryers are rather pricey but food can last up to 30 years. Canning 1 to 2 years, dehydrating 4 years max. No risk of botulism or other food-borne illnesses due to improper canning techniques. Less prep time and only cost about $1.50 per batch in electricity. Nutrition is almost entirely retained as opposed to when pressure canning. Instead of jars, lids, bands, canners, and assorted accessories, you just need the freeze-dryer, mylar bags, oxygen absorbers, and a sealer- all of which are included when you purchase one. In terms of versatility- you can do entire meals. I still have my pressure canners but just use them as pressure cookers for things such as squash. Canning jars, for drinking tea out of. My Excalibur dehydrator for making yogurt and for raising bread. Crocks for Lacto-fermented items such as kimchi, sauerkraut, and pickles.
new pressure canner from the uk thankyou so much for the back to basic series x
Great information I have been building the canning supply since I'm addicted great to confirm I will need things buying
Great information! It is amazing how as we progress as canners, our equipment advances to the next step. Using a roaster oven would never have been on my radar in the beginning. My first purchase was a large pot to hold all the goodness, then a Mirror canner that held 7 quarts or 8 pints. I would can 60 quarts of green beans so it took a long time. When my mom stopped canning she gave me her canner and it only held 5 quarts. Something I never knew as a child helping in the kitchen during canning time. i gained a great respect for my parents and grandparents who always grew a garden and canned and processed food all summer. The one thing I never did in my early canning was meat but over the past 10 years I have experimented with canning meats and that is a great "fast food" when needing to feed your family in a hurry. Thanks for sharing Rachael! Your are awesome and very patient!
I never use my roaster for anything other than my Turkey at thanksgiving. Watching you can with your opened up a whole other world of possibilities to get more use out of it! I even like how you recently shared why you add water under the insert.
Thank you for your explanations on everything. I’ve been canning for many many years, but still heard some things I hadn’t thought about!
Thank you so much for being here and sharing your knowledge! You are a beautiful lady. Love your natural hair color!!
Great advice ! I wished I had this information from the beginning of my canning. I continously to watch all canning videos. I have learned so much from you and others in the canning community. At first I was scared to do pressure canning and now I'm so thrilled to be doing meats. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Such a great educator with each video.
Thanks, Rachel .. you reminded me if several items (pickle crisp, pickling spice and extra vinegar) to add to my shopping list so I'll be ready for the season.
Oh my thanks for the reminder about the salt and crisp, getting on that now. I am so grateful all of you are making these videos for those of us who are not experts. I am learning so much.
This video will be a blessing to all the young folks who are starting to work on food prepping thanks for sharing.
I went used roaster oven shopping yesterday per your advise and because I couldn’t believe all the pan shuffling I was trying to do this week while canning. I went to 2 Good Wills and actually found one, BUT it was probably from the 50’s/60’s with the woven black/white cord. So I had to leave it behind. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. All my best
Rachel, I’ve loved all your canning videos. All your tips are so helpful. Thank you for contributing.
Rachael, you always have great information on your videos. I greatly appreciate your knowledge and your willingness for you and Todd to share!
This video gets me so excited I can't wait for the new canning season to start planting lots of extra veggie this year. I have only water bathed in the past years but after watching so many of your recipes I am now going to be buying a pressure canner wish me luck
This is so helpful! I haven’t canned for years until recently! I absolutely love canning and putting up food for my family! Thankfully I have a lot of the supplies, the water bath canner, the Presto canner, the roaster( which I never thought to use for canning and have seen how much it helps). I also have the kitchen-aid food processor attachment. I still need to get a food mill, more lids, more jars, a steam juicer, and a dehydrator plus all the pickling salts and pectins.
This video is so comprehensive, great job! You really covered it all, thanks for so many great teaching videos. Thank you for all you do and share.
Thanks for sharing!! I've been doing basic canning for many year but have been trying new recipes and loving it!
Excited to start pressure canning. Just got my All American. Glad to know that roaster I rarely use will come in handy.
I so appreciate your videos. You are my canning mentor from afar. I look forward to each video you post.
I love your videos and love sharing them. I have friends who are wanting to start canning or new to it. These are so helpful.
I really appreciate the Basics videos. There are definitely items that I never realized were important like pectin, canning salt, pickle crisp and vinegar. I have most of the basic equipment but the items that make it all more useful is ideal. Thanks so much.
I'm really enjoying your educational canning videos!! I'll let you know when I finally get started canning. I have a good supply of items to get started but of course after watching your video I find that I need MORE!!! Thank you for taking the time to make all your videos!!!
Kitchen aid food processor is on my wish list, as well as the Nesco rooster! First I need to replace my water bath canner, you are right it does rust! Thanks for the great refresher!
Other good items to have on hand is a jar lifter, headspace measuring tool. If you are messy like me, extra towels 😂. If you have an Amish community in your area they are a great resource for bulk items...i have found pectins, clear jel, salt, citric acid etc. I would also suggest a canning book. Thanks for another great video Rachel. Happy canning
Thank you for sharing this video. I'm 71 and on my food preservation journey. I've canned jellies and salsas in the past but I want to learn to do more.
Great run through on what's needed to begin!
Good review for all of us seasoned canners as well . Reminded me of some things I need to pick up now. I’ve got seed starting on my mind so I’ve been distracted with those .
Thank you so much for this awesome information! So helpful. We went to a DAV (disabled American Veterans) thrift store and i found a 1972 mirro-matic pressure canner for $40….. bought a new gasket for it and it works great!! I remember my mom canning growing up but i believe she only did water bath canning as i only remember fruuts and veggies from the jars. Thank you so much for this info.
Thanks for the video! It was a great reminder of things we need to stock up on going into harvest season.
This is so informative. I love the way you explain what is necessary & what is nice to have. I will definitely try my hand at something besides tomatoes & green beans this year.
Rachel, you inspire me with every video. I have learned so much from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us.
Thanks for sharing all your tips. New to canning but sooo addicted
I just got my first canner today and I’m so ready to learn how to use it. Thanks for this video. Very helpful.
It’s always good even as seasoned canners to evaluate our supplies and what worked and what didn’t so that when the opportunity presents itself to purchase those things were in need of we know what’s lacking. I have a steam juicer that I purchased used. I’m very excited to put that to work this year and actually plan to use it before to long as I continue with the freezer clean out.
I love watching you and your husbands videos. Thank you so much for your beginners reviews. I am hoping to get some canning started soon as I get the basic equipment.
So fun! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge! I'm excited for this growing season.
I love the videos. It's intimidating to start, but you make it look so rewarding. Thank you!
Another great tutorial for new canners. I love that I always learn something from your videos even tho I've been canning for years.
Thank you, I appreciate hi ow you keep things simple,how you are so encouraging, and your willingness to share! Thank you! 😊
I am new to canning. Just using produce from the kroger for now, while I wait for "canning season".
This was so helpful! I don't want my first real garden to go to waste. Thank you for all of your tips and content ❤️
This was helpful and I love seeing what others have. It helps me know what I need to stock up on.
Thank you for all of the great information. This is the second video of yours I’ve watched, I decided to subscribe after this one. Great job.
I am so thoroughly enjoying your channel!!! Currently pressure canning some liquid gold (chicken bone broth) and binge watching your canning episodes to refresh and see what else I might learn. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
Love your honesty. Great info as always.
I have had a goal for a couple years to learn how to can, & its so intimidating. But this year, I WILL learn how- or at least TRY! TY for this video!
