I just wanted you to know that at 60 years old I just canned my first batch of 14 pints of raw pack chicken! I thought, go big or go home lol!! It was nerve wracking for me being the first time but I followed your instructions to a T and my 23 qt Presto performed like a champ. It turned out great!! Thank you for giving me the courage to step up to the pressure canning plate!! ❤
Reading your post gives me hope at 66 yrs to try. I have an upright freezer only for meat and frozen vegetables. I am concerned about possible rolling blackouts and don't want to lose it all. ( or claim on insurance) I once did tomatoes in my 30's and the lids all blew off, what a mess. I don't want to kill us.
Dinali Canning has great customer service. They currently get their lids overseas but they said in spring 2022 their new plant on the east coast is due to be open so they manufacture them in the USA. I have started supporting US companies wherever I can.
Hi Janette! Thank you for your awesome feedback with our Customer Service. Providing a great customer experience is very important to us so we are super glad that we have successfully demonstrated it to you. 😍
Pressure canning is something from the US. I live in the EU and ordered my pressure canner in the US (costs a load of shipping and customs), but it was so worth it. I love the taste of the canned chicken. You don't have to salt it or anything. It is amazing and so easy. Love to watch your RUclips channel and God bless.
Carolyn, thank you! I’m 67, today, and canned my first chicken. 16 pints. What a blessing. I feel so empowered. Thanking the Lord for you and your teaching skills. I wish I’d known this when I was raising 11 kids, but better late than never.
If you lose power in the summer, wouldnt you still lose the canned food? Like down here in the south temps are regularly over 100 degrees with 90 percent humidity. Seems like canned food would also go bad quickly at those temps.
@@SofiaisSunshine no. There are no bacteria in the canned meat if it is sealed. I live near Atlanta and it can get pretty hot. The only issue is if you lose the seal on the jar. One reason you must NEVER store the jars with the rings on is to protect you so if you DO lose the seal it will not re-seal without you knowing it. Then you are in trouble. But it can degrade slightly over time if left in light or if temperatures do change often to extremes.
Home canned chicken is awesome! Best chicken salad I've ever eaten was my own home canned chicken. I also store it as emergency meals for my dogs. I know, I know, but they love it and I love them. We all deserve good healthy food 🙂
My mama always told me how hard it was to can, make bread, cook, garden, etc. I have found out for myself all of those things were not as hard for me as she told me. But I 've always been afraid of canning. (The stories she told me!!) I can see that maybe it' s not as hard as I thought. 😊 Learning to garden this year. Next year, hoping for a harvest big enough to can, lol! Oh, and I'm 65.😁
Your mom probably would've loved having all the modern gadgets and appliances we have now. I know my mom would have. BTW I'm almost 69 and will be doing some canning for the first time.
@@cherylmayer8039 me too I'm 63. Canned some french fries and I am still really nervous. I've got to stop being paranoid and just do it before poisoning is in our meats. If not already not including high prices or no food. God Bless
Me too and I'm 63 lol us old women 😊 just proves your never to old. I am Still nervous to do more. I can't believe your mom said all that to you though, I would of thought she wanted you to learn how to survive. Maybe she was afraid you might poison someone lol. So she was trying to protect you. Well I guess No Worries eh but still it's such a necessity I see now wish I'd known more years back. God Bless. I'm guess I'll try some chicken. Wish me luck. Bye bye for now 🙋🏼♀️
Today will be my 1st day of canning. Doing a small batch of a chili base. As I keep telling my granddaughter who is nervous about getting her driver's license - the more you do it the more comfortable with doing it. Gonna practice what I preach.
Hey Carolyn just to let you know today was my first day to try canning a 58-year-old veteran and I bought a whole bunch of chicken at Sam’s and brought it back to the house and cut it all up into the cubes like you said follow your directions perfectly and now I have 7 pints of chicken sitting on my counter still boiling. Thank you so much for making these videos it really really really helps a lot of people out there’s a lot of people fearful during these times you know with food shortages extreme gas prices in such and you’re just making it a little bit easier to deal with the issues of today again thank you
I followed this video step by step and actually had it playing while I canned my chicken 😃 I just paused it when I needed to and proceeded to can all day this way 🥰 I cannot thank you enough, Carolyn ❤️ I have watched, and will continue watching every video. Love to the family 🙏
You can do the same with Roasts and hamburger, cooked or raw. I can Costco rotisserie chicken and can stock made from the carcasses. I canned sausages (10 little pigs in a pint jar, raw) and topped them off with V8 juice.
Thank you so much for suggesting this. I have been canning chicken for years just pouring the broth off. Just started thinking I shouldn't be wasting it but couldn't find how to use it anywhere.
I canned chicken for the first time this year and I LOVE it! I can just dump a jar into a pot with some veggies and make a fast soup/stew for dinner, or shred it up with some mayo, celery, dried cranberries, salt, and pepper for chicken salad, or mix it with bbq sauce for shredded chicken sliders. The best convenience meals are home canned!
I just started canning this year. I started with collards, then moved to tomato sauce my husband made, and green beans. I’ve watched this video over and over making sure I didn’t miss anything. The pressure valve on my canner just went down, and I’m about to take out my first batch of canned chicken thighs. Excitement and nerves are running rampant right now!!! Thank you and your family for putting these videos together, and doing the webinars!
Just did this over the weekend and had 100% success with my lids sealing. I'm really stoked because it was my first canning attempt for anything. The chicken looks amazing in the jars and the smell was awesome just as you said. Next time I'll add just a touch more water to the jars because a couple have some exposed chicken at the top. I'm starting a pork canning project tomorrow, hopefully it will be another successful adventure. Your video was very helpful and I thank you for your willingness to share your knowledge in such a instructive and easy to understand manner. I watched...paused...and rewatched this video many times during the process to make sure I was following along correctly. Some people binge watch mindless TV shows...me...I've been binge watching your videos. Thanks again.
I did my first chicken a few weeks ago Our family got Covid and we have been eating very well with all the can goods This chicken is so good in pot pie 🥰 I am so thankful we have been watching you for a long time
Been gardening for about 4 years and this was our first year canning the harvest to preserve our goodies. Had a crash course of water bath AND pressure canning and man I am goong to need more shelves! Your videos have neen inspirational! Looking at cheese making next! 😁😁😁
I started pressure canning meats and fruits after discovering the Homesteading Family videos. They are awesome and I have learned so much! Thank you to you and your husband for all of your hard work and dedication to your RUclips audience and for educating us on how interesting and efficient it can be to stock our pantries with healthy, homemade meals.
@@lauraburruss2217 If you're doing a bushel or more at a time, it is quicker. Quarts only need about 5 to 10 minutes at pressure for fruit or tomatoes (depending on your altitude) , and a water bath takes 25 minutes for fewer jars.
From a fellow pressure canner / oil and gas industry worker, it is always good practise to undo the clamps on the sealing surface on the side away from you first. If there was a pressure build up, it would spray away and not towards you. Obviously, the risk on these canners is quite low, as both the gauge and the vent would need to fail for there to be pressure, but it's good practise nonetheless. Cheers and thanks for your great content.
Yupp! Same goes for opening flanges..."staying out of the line of fire" is what we call it in the chemical industry. We'd make it a habbit to visually check that the vent hole is not obstructed prior to putting the lid on. A light coating with petroleum jelly or some food-grade oil on the sealing lip of the lid is also recommended with this pressure canner that relies on a metal-to-metal seal alone. And, finally, when opening the lid, keep it in front of your face, like a shield, to direct the steam away from you, as the water inside is still very hot.
I just ate some green chili from 2015, and it was also awesome! For those who are just learning, properly canned foods stay good for a LOOONG time! Always, just check before eating!
Love reading all the stories of people in their sixties canning for the first time. Just did hamburger soup for my son and now onto raw chicken and stew.
Caroline I can’t tell you how grateful to you for your how to videos! Today I pressure canned 10 pints of chicken. It was my first pressure canning ever and I was so intimidated but I filled your instructions and everything worked great!!! Thank you so much!
The recipes in the challenge sound like great ones to give as gifts for Christmas. I’m giving handmade gifts this year. A few quarts of these with some bowls and quilted bowl cozies sounds perfect.
I absolutely adore this woman. Ok have learned so much from her, and her methods are all so easy. I wish I'd have had a friend or role model like her in in my life way sooner than finding her at 40!
you may not see this but I canned chicken for the first time yesterday. I have had my canner for a year and have been afraid to use it. LOL I finally did yesterday. Thank you so much for this video. I feel like I can do anything now 😊
I love YOUR videos! I am going to have to try this. I have made 20 quarts of your crunchy pickles this year and they are absolutely wonderful. I did however add 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes to your recipe for a little kick. THANK YOU for educating the rest of us!!
My newest meat canning adventure was Cornish game hens for my 🐕. She loves it! No, she is not spoiled. She's a canine and thus.. a meat eater! She also gets duck, bison, beef, turkey, venison and chicken. In fact, I just roasted a whole chicken for her yesterday. The beauty of that is (canned or frozen) we can eat it too! 😆 Thanks for your videos, Carolyn. My 4 acre homestead in the making is progressing thanks to you and Josh. I have adopted my grandchildren and homesteading and self sufficiency is becoming more of a reality each day. We have a woodstove, plenty of wood, chickens, ducks and a garden. Things are looking up.
Holy toledo! You have a lot of chicken to preserve! Behind the scenes, I bet some members of your family help you with that work. That would be a happy, happy family moment for me. I don't think there is anything better than a grateful family sharing the work. I'm excited for your challenge! Thank you! 💚🌞
I absolutely love this lady! I look forward to learning so much about preasure canning from her. Im very new to pressure canning. Hello from Castle Rock Washington.
Terrific video, very clearly explained! My favorite part was actually hearing the rattling of the pressure valve. I felt as if I were actually IN the preserving kitchen! Thank you!
I just bought my 1st pressure canner after watching your meals in a jar video and this one with chicken. I'm almost 60 yrs old and excited this new journey. Thank you.
I've cooked many years ago using the water bath method. We didn't know back then using a pressure cooker was safer. We cooked probably over 1000 lbs of fish and had no problem. HOWEVER, I was VERY careful with my process. It was nice to watch this video, see how relaxed & happy was during this process! Right after I saw this video a few months ago I purchased the Presto pressure cooker & canned pint jars of chicken. The meat came our very tender, I was really impressed! I don't think I will ever use the oven again for baking chicken breasts! They come out too tough! I've made multiple batches of canned chicken but many of them are with the 1/2 gallon size. I really like this process & want to thank you for sharing this information with all of us.
Thank you for taking the time and trouble to show us the finished product. I'm new to canning and so was not sure what to expect. This version of chicken will work perfectly in my recipes.
I just got my first pressure canner yesterday. A Presto 16 quart, not the best or fanciest. But what I can afford. I'm 78 year s young and have been waterbath canning things as I got.Ive been canning since I was 17, helping my grandmother. My mom really wasn't a canner. We were military family so I guess it wasn't practical for her. I love it. Ive just never had a pressure cannerand with what's happening, thought I'd give it a try. I have canned chicken from the store, but I want to do hamburg.wish me lunch. I will read all instructions before anything.
@Gretchen Arrant I bought my first canner, a 16 quart Presto like you. I found it last week at WonkyWorld for $78.00. The first one I could (almost) afford! You our comment gives me inspiration to try!!
@@annaleedaughterofyhwh7767 have you used your canner yet? Right after I bought mine, my back went into spasm and put me out of order. It has been 1 thing after another. It is exactly where I put when I brought home!!! Sad. But couldn't be helped. Have you been canning up a storm? I've been waterbathing things hopefully I'll get to it soon!!
Carolyn, Thank you so much for this video tutorial on chicken raw pack pressure canning! You video on pressure canning beef stew encouraged my husband and I to take the plunge and attempt it. He has a lot of experience with pressure cookers, but never did pressure canning. I have some experience with pressure cooking but had no experience with any canning at all. We successfully pressure canned two batches of beef stew... with a few weeks in between, when beef temporarily dropped in price. We had great success. I needed my husband to partner in this, due to my nervousness over attempting it. Your videos are so detailed and reassuring! So... I purposed to try the chicken raw pack, and successfully canned 10 pints in my Presto pressure canner! Then, chicken went on sale again, and I tried, and succeeded in pressure canning 7 quart of chicken thighs, bone-in! By the time I attempted this, I had watched your video on raw pack several times, and I had it playing throughout the process if canning the pints,
Thanks for all the great tips! I have one to save your fingernails which I purchased and can say it works like a charm. It’s called the Brix 2251 JarKey Metal Jar Opener. It lifts any mason jar lid off with ease BUT do it slowly, not fast, and be sure not to grab the glass instead of just the metal rim because the glass getting caught can chip due to the firm grip this gadget has. It really is the best little tool I have found for the job and it’s around $15. It’s solid iron or cast iron. It should last a lifetime. Great job on the video!
Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. I've been searching all over RUclips on How to can chicken,, I've watched your video on canning beef stew several times
@@tortiecat6459 I already bought my pressure canner/cooker because I started out with making homemade apple butter but,, wanted more than just jellies and jams. Something that'll be quick and easy for my boys to heat up and eat besides pizza rolls
Thank You for all these wonderful videos! I’ve been canning up a storm thanks to you and your videos. I also bought your canning series, the best thing I ever did!! You’re a great teacher ❤️
Yes, I believe you can. Look in their video description. Press the little upside down v on the right hand side below this video. There should be a link in there.
I just love your videos.. you give so much information. you do a great job giving easy to follow instructions. thank you for helping all of us save on food for our families.
Because my kitchen tends to get drafty,no matter the season, after I remove my jars from the canner I cover them with a lightweight linen tablecloth so they don't break.
Thank you from South Africa. Our canning journey has started. I asked my wife to watch this video with me and based on it, got stuck in. Much appreciated.
I love canning chicken, it is so easy. I buy boneless breasts, cube them, stuff it in the jar. Easy peesi! And it lasts fairly well on the shelf. I can use chicken breasts in a lot of dishes.
Another question! If one has ordered many of your classes, such as the canning and home management class, how does the Kitchen Membership differ or perhaps even highlight the great classes I have already purchased in the past?
Great question. I own a heap of the giant classes and the latest is the cheese making. I just feel paying for the same access to info we also have is a bit naff
Always a joy learning with you. If you cannot afford a new pressure canner , is it ok to grab one at a thrift store? , maybe buy missing parts off eBay??
I got my Presto for $15 @ thrift store. Go online & read about different caners . That will help you to buy a good one. Ace Hardware can order parts & they sometimes have them in the store. God bless.
Last week I found a 16 Quart Presto at WonkyWorld in AZ. for $76.00. {{I’ve had a $400 All American canner in my Amazon cart for ages, knowing I’d never be able to afford it!}} So now I have my Presto and ready to take the canning plunge.
Here is where I have gone to get my denali lids. I am not sure if Carolyn has a direct/different link that gives her some type of credit. denalicanning.com/collections/canning-lids
We just butchered 6 chickens. I followed your instructions and canned raw chicken breast to keep it moist in its juices, and also pressure canned about 56 cups of broth. Thank you for teaching me
I felt meat was the easiest thing to can, no recipes or peeling, just pack the jar and can. I love having it on the shelves so my teenage kids have easy healthy go to meals they can just heat up.
Oh that makes me feel better! I haven't tried pressure canning yet, but I really want to can meat. I have been doing water bath canning, but was a little worried about making the leap into pressure canning.
I'm REALLY enjoying your videos! You are a blessing! Thank God. My fiance and I are having a hard time finding a farmstead in Syracuse, ny area for his work. We need at least 2 to 3 acres of land, and a non manufacturer home that's not too much of a fixer upper. But reasonable fixer upper. 170,000 price tops. A barn an garage on property, too. It's been disappointing. As soon as we see something, and right when we go to SEE, someone else grabs IT. Its SO competitive for homesteading around here!!....uggggh
@Jennifer Oh sweetheart, it’s extremely difficult all over the states. I’m have similar issues but with less capital to work with. I will pray the Father guides you.
I LOVE my Presto 23 qt canner. I can do 20 pints reg. Mouth, of chicken at a time! The canner is inexpensive and mine is well over 20 years old and I’ve not ever had a problem with it.
This is the one I got... Bought it 3 years ago and finally pressure canned for the first time yesterday, 20 pints of pinto beans. 19 sealed! 😍 I love how many pints it fits, makes me feel so productive. I can't wait to do chicken now!
Ooo I'm so excited! Just pressure canned for the first time yesterday. We have a large family as well, so this meals on the shelf challenge sounds awesome to me! 😍 We are mini homesteaders, nothing like y'all. We have a few sheep and a few chickens. Still haven't done very well with gardening. You guys are goals! 😍
Just a tip I prayed for 3 years for. My garden was beautiful until the second week in June the past few years. Then the leaves and fruits would die off. I tried so many fungicides and fertilizers and clays to stop what was happening, all to no avail. Then I heard about PH. The ph level is very important. Any hydroponics store will have what you need to test your water, soil and additives to the garden. With the right ph level you will have a thriving garden. I have high levels of calcium and iron in my well water and this was the secret not a filter system.
Just got done canning poultry this past week. I added baby carrots and onion flakes to the jars and my kitchen smelled like Thanksgiving ! It's nice to have home canned meat on your shelf for a quick meal prep
I am making a list of RUclips videos on canning meat for a friend. FYI, you have the most videos on that list. LOVE watching all your content. Been canning for over 50 years and I can still learn.
Thank you, just did 30 chickens with my friend, sons and her son. I cut up 5 birds and I'm pressure canning the chicken right now. Need freezer room (it's that time of year). I'm going to try pressure canning broth next.
My parents canned a lot of chicken back in 1999, getting ready for a certain doomsday or something. We cleaned out there basement in 2019, found 2 boxes of sealed jars, and a single jar of black goo. Before throwing it all out, I opened one jar, and it definitely passed the sniff test. Didn't eat any, but I totally would have if I found it post appocolypse. The jar of black goo smelled like you'd expect 20 years of death to smell.
I love your video’s. I have a question. what is stopping you from placing your videos on Rumble.? I am slowly moving away from RUclips I don’t like it’s politics.
I just truly appreciate your videos! Talk about life goals 🤗❤ I am probably near twice your age, but your videos have taught me so much! Thank you so very much for sharing like you do!

Dinali Canning has great customer service. They currently get their lids overseas but they said in spring 2022 their new plant on the east coast is due to be open so they manufacture them in the USA. I have started supporting US companies wherever I can.

I’ve really been pleased with Danali! Staunch customer!

Glad you enjoy it! For your next project can I recommend green beans and tomato sauce? You will never buy jarred sauce again!
Where did you order from?
Im from the Netherlands, we cant buy them here, so i would also like to know where i can order one online that can be shipped here.

My plan too! I feed my dogs like they are suppose to be fed. Kibble contains acrylamide and oxidized fats. I want my dogs to live forever.
Can meat only be done in a pressure cooker canner? Why do veggies have to be pressure canned and not just a water bath?
Every time my dogs have tummy issues, I always wish I had some chicken already cooked up.
I Do the same for my fur baby!! She loves it and is healthy looking compared to Processed Dog food.
HAPPY FUR BABY HERE!! ❤🐶❤

I'm doing this right now. Never pressure canned meat.
I’m doing this today, as well! Don’t you love that we have such access to knowledgeable people like Carolyn?
When I open a jar, I save the liquid for the best ever gravy. So much flavor. I save it in ice cube trays in the freezer.
Great idea freezing it 👍
Thank you so much for suggesting this. I have been canning chicken for years just pouring the broth off. Just started thinking I shouldn't be wasting it but couldn't find how to use it anywhere.
I save the broth too. I keep container in the freezer. Use for many things.

@@lauraburruss2217 If you're doing a bushel or more at a time, it is quicker. Quarts only need about 5 to 10 minutes at pressure for fruit or tomatoes (depending on your altitude) , and a water bath takes 25 minutes for fewer jars.
How do you pressure can fruit please? And what kind of fruit 😊
From a fellow pressure canner / oil and gas industry worker, it is always good practise to undo the clamps on the sealing surface on the side away from you first. If there was a pressure build up, it would spray away and not towards you. Obviously, the risk on these canners is quite low, as both the gauge and the vent would need to fail for there to be pressure, but it's good practise nonetheless.
Cheers and thanks for your great content.
Yupp! Same goes for opening flanges..."staying out of the line of fire" is what we call it in the chemical industry.
We'd make it a habbit to visually check that the vent hole is not obstructed prior to putting the lid on. A light coating with petroleum jelly or some food-grade oil on the sealing lip of the lid is also recommended with this pressure canner that relies on a metal-to-metal seal alone.
And, finally, when opening the lid, keep it in front of your face, like a shield, to direct the steam away from you, as the water inside is still very hot.
I love having canned chicken and other meats on my shelf. Makes it so easy to make dinner after a long day at work.
Me too!!! So easy to pop a can open and throw together enchiladas or chicken salad or toss it in a pan with some pasta!
@@katiebwheeler I haven’t made chicken salad with it but I do need to give that a try.
Ma'am you're a treasure. God Bless you for showing us and teaching us ways to truly live.
Binge watching so I can get prepared to start my canning journey. 💙💙
Your chickens look delicious & soooo plump! Canning chicken is simple when you explain it in your calm way😊
Been trying to convince my family how easy this is, I think I can finally win with this.
It is crazy how often I reference this video. Thank you multiple times over.
We opened our canned chicken from 2015 recently and it was still delicious.
Awesome! I rarely see anything about the food actually being eaten and I always wondered how it tastes after some time!
I just ate some green chili from 2015, and it was also awesome!
For those who are just learning, properly canned foods stay good for a LOOONG time! Always, just check before eating!
@@stevescuba1978 how do you check? Aside from smell, is there anything else to check?
@@bilezmom11 yes I have the same question. How long does it last and how do I know if it is still good?
Caroyln does the best videos ever when it comes to canning!
This is informative and helps demystify pressure canning. Thank you!
Love reading all the stories of people in their sixties canning for the first time. Just did hamburger soup for my son and now onto raw chicken and stew.
Caroline I can’t tell you how grateful to you for your how to videos! Today I pressure canned 10 pints of chicken. It was my first pressure canning ever and I was so intimidated but I filled your instructions and everything worked great!!! Thank you so much!
Congratulations!
I imagine you have canned more since then? Are you in love with canning? I sure am!
Of all the videos on line, I love and trust yours the most. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
The recipes in the challenge sound like great ones to give as gifts for Christmas. I’m giving handmade gifts this year. A few quarts of these with some bowls and quilted bowl cozies sounds perfect.
That sounds fabulous!
@@FebbieG thank you
Put me on your gift list! That would be a wonderful gift to receive, even better than homemade cookies!
@@stevescuba1978 awww thank you. God bless
I absolutely adore this woman. Ok have learned so much from her, and her methods are all so easy. I wish I'd have had a friend or role model like her in in my life way sooner than finding her at 40!
I have never canned but I feel like I could do it after you walking us through it! Thx so much!
you may not see this but I canned chicken for the first time yesterday. I have had my canner for a year and have been afraid to use it. LOL I finally did yesterday. Thank you so much for this video. I feel like I can do anything now 😊
Yay!!! Good for you!! 😁
I love YOUR videos! I am going to have to try this.
I have made 20 quarts of your crunchy pickles this year and they are absolutely wonderful. I did however add 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes to your recipe for a little kick. THANK YOU for educating the rest of us!!
My newest meat canning adventure was Cornish game hens for my 🐕. She loves it! No, she is not spoiled. She's a canine and thus..
a meat eater! She also gets duck, bison, beef, turkey, venison and chicken. In fact, I just roasted a whole chicken for her yesterday. The beauty of that is (canned or frozen) we can eat it too! 😆 Thanks for your videos, Carolyn. My 4 acre homestead in the making is progressing thanks to you and Josh. I have adopted my grandchildren and homesteading and self sufficiency is becoming more of a reality each day. We have a woodstove, plenty of wood, chickens, ducks and a garden. Things are looking up.
As an urban-dweller, your channel is truly fascinating. Thank you for sharing!
I’m getting back into canning after a long hiatus. This video leveled me up. Thank you!
Holy toledo! You have a lot of chicken to preserve! Behind the scenes, I bet some members of your family help you with that work. That would be a happy, happy family moment for me. I don't think there is anything better than a grateful family sharing the work. I'm excited for your challenge! Thank you! 💚🌞
Gosh they had to pluck all those feathers too.
I completely agree. So awesome to see a family working together. It doesn't happen much these days
@@AnnaLVajda probably have a chicken pluckier, very convenient tool.
I absolutely love this lady! I look forward to learning so much about preasure canning from her. Im very new to pressure canning. Hello from Castle Rock Washington.
Terrific video, very clearly explained! My favorite part was actually hearing the rattling of the pressure valve. I felt as if I were actually IN the preserving kitchen! Thank you!
Just tried this for the first time.... IT SMELLS SO GOOD AFTER ITS DONE! Thank you for the simple breakdown of this!
Did this yesterday, followed your instructions to a "T". Turned out awesome, I've learned so much from your channel, thank you!
I just bought my 1st pressure canner after watching your meals in a jar video and this one with chicken. I'm almost 60 yrs old and excited this new journey. Thank you.
Hope you enjoy!
I just made a video on this earlier in week (I’m a RUclips newbie). Love the ease of canning chicken!
I've cooked many years ago using the water bath method. We didn't know back then using a pressure cooker was safer. We cooked probably over 1000 lbs of fish and had no problem. HOWEVER, I was VERY careful with my process. It was nice to watch this video, see how relaxed & happy was during this process! Right after I saw this video a few months ago I purchased the Presto pressure cooker & canned pint jars of chicken. The meat came our very tender, I was really impressed! I don't think I will ever use the oven again for baking chicken breasts! They come out too tough! I've made multiple batches of canned chicken but many of them are with the 1/2 gallon size. I really like this process & want to thank you for sharing this information with all of us.
I love your recipes. With my canned chicken I like to add a bud of garlic to add extra flavor
Thank you for taking the time and trouble to show us the finished product. I'm new to canning and so was not sure what to expect. This version of chicken will work perfectly in my recipes.
Glad it was helpful!
I just got my first pressure canner yesterday. A Presto 16 quart, not the best or fanciest. But what I can afford. I'm 78 year s young and have been waterbath canning things as I got.Ive been canning since I was 17, helping my grandmother. My mom really wasn't a canner. We were military family so I guess it wasn't practical for her. I love it. Ive just never had a pressure cannerand with what's happening, thought I'd give it a try. I have canned chicken from the store, but I want to do hamburg.wish me lunch. I will read all instructions before anything.
@Gretchen Arrant I bought my first canner, a 16 quart Presto like you. I found it last week at WonkyWorld for $78.00. The first one I could (almost) afford! You our comment gives me inspiration to try!!
@@annaleedaughterofyhwh7767 have you used your canner yet? Right after I bought mine, my back went into spasm and put me out of order. It has been 1 thing after another. It is exactly where I put when I brought home!!! Sad. But couldn't be helped. Have you been canning up a storm? I've been waterbathing things hopefully I'll get to it soon!!
Carolyn,
Thank you so much for this video tutorial on chicken raw pack pressure canning!
You video on pressure canning beef stew encouraged my husband and I to take the plunge and attempt it. He has a lot of experience with pressure cookers, but never did pressure canning. I have some experience with pressure cooking but had no experience with any canning at all.
We successfully pressure canned two batches of beef stew... with a few weeks in between, when beef temporarily dropped in price. We had great success. I needed my husband to partner in this, due to my nervousness over attempting it.
Your videos are so detailed and reassuring!
So... I purposed to try the chicken raw pack, and successfully canned 10 pints in my Presto pressure canner!
Then, chicken went on sale again, and I tried, and succeeded in pressure canning 7 quart of chicken thighs, bone-in!
By the time I attempted this, I had watched your video on raw pack several times, and I had it playing throughout the process if canning the pints,
I am new to canning and have canned ground beef and chicken so far. I have 8 pints of each and I’m so excited about canning!!
Thanks for all the great tips! I have one to save your fingernails which I purchased and can say it works like a charm. It’s called the Brix 2251 JarKey Metal Jar Opener. It lifts any mason jar lid off with ease BUT do it slowly, not fast, and be sure not to grab the glass instead of just the metal rim because the glass getting caught can chip due to the firm grip this gadget has. It really is the best little tool I have found for the job and it’s around $15. It’s solid iron or cast iron. It should last a lifetime. Great job on the video!
Another good one is the Cookwise Mason jar opener; fits both wide and standard lids and won't chip the glass.
thank you so much for your canning videos. You explain things so well, even for someone completely new to canning
The most informative canning video I've watched. You left no doubts or questions unanswered. Just wow, Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. I've been searching all over RUclips on How to can chicken,, I've watched your video on canning beef stew several times
I also watched her beef stew video several times and then purchased the pressure canner afterwards. She got me started on this canning journey. :-)
@@tortiecat6459 I already bought my pressure canner/cooker because I started out with making homemade apple butter but,, wanted more than just jellies and jams. Something that'll be quick and easy for my boys to heat up and eat besides pizza rolls
Canning jars is so much better then plastic bags so thank you for sharing .
I checked out Denali lids but they are So EXPENSIVE!
My All American canner came a few days ago. I will be canning chicken soon. Thanks so much for the video. Easy to understand. I can do this!!
Looking forward to the meals in a jar series ! I love canning chicken ! I loved seeing your chickens in the freezer ! Brilliant !
Going to bed now, starting to binge watch all these. So good.👍👍❤
Thank You for all these wonderful videos! I’ve been canning up a storm thanks to you and your videos. I also bought your canning series, the best thing I ever did!! You’re a great teacher ❤️
Can I buy the canning series Michelle?..would love to!
Yes, I believe you can. Look in their video description. Press the little upside down v on the right hand side below this video. There should be a link in there.
@@michelleshorey1399 thank you!😊
I just love your videos.. you give so much information. you do a great job giving easy to follow instructions. thank you for helping all of us save on food for our families.
You are so welcome!
I wanna live like this so bad lol. Thank you for the great information. You’re great at teaching this information!
Its easy. Do it
Ditto.... trying to learn & plan to do this soon
Another great video! I processed my chicken today while listening to your video…just to make sure I always cover all my bases. Thank you 😊 ♥️
Because my kitchen tends to get drafty,no matter the season, after I remove my jars from the canner I cover them with a lightweight linen tablecloth so they don't break.
Thank you from South Africa. Our canning journey has started. I asked my wife to watch this video with me and based on it, got stuck in. Much appreciated.
I love canning chicken, it is so easy. I buy boneless breasts, cube them, stuff it in the jar. Easy peesi! And it lasts fairly well on the shelf. I can use chicken breasts in a lot of dishes.
Just canned my first chicken today! So satisfying! Thanks for your superb instructions.
That's great!
Another question! If one has ordered many of your classes, such as the canning and home management class, how does the Kitchen Membership differ or perhaps even highlight the great classes I have already purchased in the past?
Great question. I own a heap of the giant classes and the latest is the cheese making. I just feel paying for the same access to info we also have is a bit naff
I signed up for more info but the tomato soup recipe looks familiar so I'm wondering how many duplicates I'm going to see.
Ladies where can I sign up for the canning classes?
Ivy, go to homesteading family's RUclips channel or Facebook page and message them with your question on how to get signed up
Still doesnt give any answer as to why this of us who have bought many premium classes already should be paying a full price for the first 12 months
I just ordered the Danali canning lids and rings!! Thanks Caroline for sharing this video!!! I love canning!!
Also, can a store bought chicken be used? God Bless
Yes and you are able to Can any cut of meat as well. Just follow canning cooking times and pressures.
You can use store bought chicken.
Yes, I used a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for my pressure canned chicken soup and it worked out great.
@@tortiecat6459
Did you add liquid or seasoning?
@@jhenniceamorrow5936 hello, yes, I added chicken broth. It worked out great! I chose that instead of water for more flavor.
I’m 73. Have to use an electric pressure canner but so excited to be canning chicken. Thank you.
Always a joy learning with you. If you cannot afford a new pressure canner , is it ok to grab one at a thrift store? , maybe buy missing parts off eBay??
Yes! That would be a score!
Certainly. Just be sure to inspect the gasket (if yours has one) and have your gauge calibrated.
I got my Presto for $15 @ thrift store. Go online & read about different caners . That will help you to buy a good one. Ace Hardware can order parts & they sometimes have them in the store. God bless.
@@elizabethcope1502 God bless you I’ve had this question for years 🕊🕊🕊
Last week I found a 16 Quart Presto at WonkyWorld in AZ. for $76.00. {{I’ve had a $400 All American canner in my Amazon cart for ages, knowing I’d never be able to afford it!}} So now I have my Presto and ready to take the canning plunge.
Been canning for years. Haven't done raw meat!!!! Gonna have to try this.
Thanx for the video.
Mindy
Can you put the link for the lids up please?
Here is where I have gone to get my denali lids. I am not sure if Carolyn has a direct/different link that gives her some type of credit. denalicanning.com/collections/canning-lids
We just butchered 6 chickens. I followed your instructions and canned raw chicken breast to keep it moist in its juices, and also pressure canned about 56 cups of broth. Thank you for teaching me
This is wonderful! I was looking for a way to preserve my meat rabbits. Looks like I'll be breaking out my pressure canner.
How would you use the canned rabbit meat? I wouldn't have thought about that until you said something!
@@LivingtheHightLife
Pulled rabbit, rabbit tacos/enchiladas, rabbit stew/soup, rabbit casserole, etc.
@@LivingtheHightLife any recipe you use chicken for works.
@@elizabethcope1502 oh wow! That makes the options endless. Thanks!!!
Hossenpheffer....lol
Such a blessing to have so much poultry .
I felt meat was the easiest thing to can, no recipes or peeling, just pack the jar and can. I love having it on the shelves so my teenage kids have easy healthy go to meals they can just heat up.
Oh that makes me feel better! I haven't tried pressure canning yet, but I really want to can meat. I have been doing water bath canning, but was a little worried about making the leap into pressure canning.
@@LivingtheHightLife same here!
Yes that’s the easiest thing to can.
can raw cubed pork sirloin chops be canned using the same process? or should that be thoroughly cooked or slightly cooked before canning
@@rachelrodriguez4053 you can raw pack it, you don't even need water, it will produce its own juices.
I'm REALLY enjoying your videos! You are a blessing! Thank God. My fiance and I are having a hard time finding a farmstead in Syracuse, ny area for his work. We need at least 2 to 3 acres of land, and a non manufacturer home that's not too much of a fixer upper. But reasonable fixer upper. 170,000 price tops. A barn an garage on property, too. It's been disappointing. As soon as we see something, and right when we go to SEE, someone else grabs IT. Its SO competitive for homesteading around here!!....uggggh
@Jennifer Oh sweetheart, it’s extremely difficult all over the states. I’m have similar issues but with less capital to work with. I will pray the Father guides you.
I LOVE my Presto 23 qt canner. I can do 20 pints reg. Mouth, of chicken at a time! The canner is inexpensive and mine is well over 20 years old and I’ve not ever had a problem with it.
👍 I have the same canner! I love it because you can do so many pints at once!
I was thinking about starting out with one of these. Is that the largest Presto canner they have?
@@Handlesarestupid702 I think it is but you wouldn’t want to go any bigger than that anyway it would be way too heavy to deal with.
This is the one I got... Bought it 3 years ago and finally pressure canned for the first time yesterday, 20 pints of pinto beans. 19 sealed! 😍
I love how many pints it fits, makes me feel so productive. I can't wait to do chicken now!
Great video and you are a very good instructor! Thanks!
Ooo I'm so excited! Just pressure canned for the first time yesterday. We have a large family as well, so this meals on the shelf challenge sounds awesome to me! 😍
We are mini homesteaders, nothing like y'all. We have a few sheep and a few chickens. Still haven't done very well with gardening. You guys are goals! 😍
Just a tip I prayed for 3 years for. My garden was beautiful until the second week in June the past few years. Then the leaves and fruits would die off. I tried so many fungicides and fertilizers and clays to stop what was happening, all to no avail. Then I heard about PH. The ph level is very important. Any hydroponics store will have what you need to test your water, soil and additives to the garden. With the right ph level you will have a thriving garden. I have high levels of calcium and iron in my well water and this was the secret not a filter system.
@@teaves8251 thank you!
I've learned a lot from this channel. Thanks so much for making these videos!
Just got done canning poultry this past week. I added baby carrots and onion flakes to the jars and my kitchen smelled like Thanksgiving !
It's nice to have home canned meat on your shelf for a quick meal prep
I am making a list of RUclips videos on canning meat for a friend. FYI, you have the most videos on that list. LOVE watching all your content. Been canning for over 50 years and I can still learn.
Thank you!
Thank you, just did 30 chickens with my friend, sons and her son. I cut up 5 birds and I'm pressure canning the chicken right now. Need freezer room (it's that time of year). I'm going to try pressure canning broth next.
Hi from the UK.
I'm a rarity canning here. Many thanks for your films. Love the way you explain everything clearly. Many thanks. 👍
My parents canned a lot of chicken back in 1999, getting ready for a certain doomsday or something. We cleaned out there basement in 2019, found 2 boxes of sealed jars, and a single jar of black goo. Before throwing it all out, I opened one jar, and it definitely passed the sniff test. Didn't eat any, but I totally would have if I found it post appocolypse.
The jar of black goo smelled like you'd expect 20 years of death to smell.
just canned my first time batch of chicken breast from my local farmer. thank you for the great step by step info. 7 delicious quart sized jars.
Wonderful!
I love your video’s. I have a question. what is stopping you from placing your videos on Rumble.?
I am slowly moving away from RUclips I don’t like it’s politics.
first time here and I love the way you explain every thing, thank you
You are so welcome!
Damg...how many freezers do you own?
Nancy Pelosi would be jealous! 🤣
Really like this channel...great info. 👍
You made me choke! 🤣
Heehee Love it!
@Kier A They dont need to, as far as I've ever heard. Perhaps this delightful family does so for organisation purposes.
LOL!!!!
@Smoke Rise 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Honey bless you. You and your family work so hard!
Jesus is your free gift to heaven when you believe in his death, burial and resurrection you are immediately saved
Love your explanation on the jiggler. This was a huge help to a newer canner. Thank you.
I just truly appreciate your videos! Talk about life goals 🤗❤ I am probably near twice your age, but your videos have taught me so much! Thank you so very much for sharing like you do!
What a doll.
This kind of women is rare.
