    At my job (retired last year) I incorporated checklists into my workflow and became so much more organized and efficient. I had daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly duties that were varied - some simple, some complex. Going down a checklist ensured I didn't try to rely simply on my memory of having done the tasks multiple times (though I could have) and that I would not miss a step that would cost me time to redo. Bravo to the community member for suggesting this easy method to stay on task.

      Shelley, I sure hope that you left those lists for whoever followed you. I made a desk manual for my statistician position at a mental health facility. My replacement was able to step right in and take over without any loss in service to management for reports etc.

    Pam I take chipped jar and put a X the bottom with a permanent black marker I also keep may jars turned upside down. This way I will know which jars are chipped. After I have cleaned them I will turn the jars upside down in there box that I Have lined with clean paper towel, this will keep the rim clean until i use them.

    Hi Pam as a newbie I've watched endless hours of videos regarding pressure canning and find out that most experienced canners always miss or forget to mention an importaimportantt step.
    Please include in your steps to check the stop lock and make sure it has popped up and locked. That's when the vent pipe start the continuous stream of steam. Check the vent pipe before canning and make sure you can see thru. If blocked use a pipe cleaner to clean and check again. Or .. blow on it (like you and I do) and check again. If still blocked put few drops of vinegar to loosen up blockage then clean again. The weight gets thick with residue and should be cleaned with q tip dipped in vinegar then soap and water. Another important issue is maintaining the right temperature throughout the canning process. If temp starts at high (8) on your stove as PSI increases the temp must be adjusted gradually lowering to #5, #4, #3 until the wgt slowly giggles at about #3 or little less. Finding a "sweet spot" takes time. Also made a list of processing time and temps, and taped it inside my cabinet door to check as I process canning.
    Still have lots to learn and thank you an Jim for your videos.
    Happy New Year!
    Hugs

    Additional reason for a lid not sealing is that the gasket may need to be oiled.

    When I hosted my first Passover Seder, I was totally unprepared. I knew what to do, but I had never done everything myself. I had no idea how long things took. I didn't know how to manage my time. 1 hour before my seder began I was still setting my table. I consider it a miracle that I was actually able to get through my seder.
    Now I have a list. I print off my list in late January and I put the date on the list. The list starts off with things that can be done way in advance. I need an unopened box of aluminum foil and plastic wrap (religious laws). So, why not buy them when I'm at Costco in January? I can also check my linens and wash and/or iron as necessary. As time progresses, I can do other things. I can check my supplies from the previous year, polish the silver, so on and so forth. I set up my kitchen for Passover 2 weeks ahead of time. I then start cooking. If it can be made in advance and frozen, then that's what I do. My list gets more and more specific as time progresses. Example, each menu item is broken down into its parts, and as I complete each part, a box gets checked. Only after the menu item is assembled and cooked will it receive a check mark in it's box. (I had to do this because I forgot something important once). The list even includes a shower and a nap the day of the Seder, and it covers the clean up and what to save for the next Seder. I even have a space for making notes on what worked and what didn't in the eyes of my guests.
    I'm proud of myself for creating my list because I am something of a Last Minute Susie by nature. I now get through the Passover Seder with my sanity intact and a feeling of calm. I'm still exhausted, but I'm no longer crazy. I collapsed in hysterics after my first seder.
    I love a good list. I look forward to this on!

    Thank you for your attention to detail. Whilst I don’t agree with you that the USDA is the final arbiter of what can and cannot be canned at home, I so enjoy learning from you and using your recipes in my home storage arsenal.

    Dr. Pam, I just want to thank you for all you do to teach us about canning. I made some of your chicken soup during the summer as well as some of your other recipes. Hubby and I joined some of our family members camping last week. I now have a cold from being around the campfire and the cold wind blowing. I opened a jar of the chicken soup tonight. I made a pot of rice to go with it for my hubby. Now that I have eaten some of the homemade soup, I am finally warm for the first time today. It's been in the 70's here in Georgia, but not for me. Thank you for sharing your experience with us! 😊

List includes what I have canned, size of jars, method (WB-water bath, P-pressure canning) amount of canning time (minutes), then about 20 small columns to mark the quantity (x) in pencil. I erase when I remove a jar or mark more x if I can more jars

    I always put 7 qts in the canner and all that don’t have food will have water. Its great water storage for emergencies. Yes you will use extra lids but the security of having sterilized water is very valuable. Just my opinion. I also use half gallon jars for water. I always buy and extra box of lids everytime i get ones that are for food storage.

    Hi Pam and Jim, great idea, I made one that I keep with my canning utensils, so everything is together..also besure to check you jar sides, I had a quart jar that had one side was too thin( the jar fit too well into my hand grip), due to manufacter/inspection error and it would have broken in the canning process. When I carefully tapped the glass the tone was off when compared with another qt jar. You could also see the difference in glass thickness. Did you know every Ball qt jar has a lasered imprinted bar code? Yes, if there is a manufacturer problem contact them with a bar code photo. This bar code is when, where, and which factory the jar was pressed (made). Blessings.

I'd like to make one suggestion about the format of the checklist, I'm a pilot and we always list the element we're dealing with followed by the action to take then we add any notes. It's quicker to use and less likely to miss anything. For instance: "RIMS - check for nicks. Don't use damaged jars."

I canned beans and ham Monday and the lids came out with a "Black" rust on them. Tried and true recipe, new ball rings and lids. Almost impossible to wash off. Maybe Aluminum residue, Oxide would be white. I will give my canner a good scrubbing and see what comes with the next canning. Making Hummus starter. God Bless and stay safe.

There’s always something new to learn. Did you mention writing a date on the lid after the jar is proceeded? Perhaps you did and I missed it.

    This video has helped so much!!! I am the type of person that has to know 'why' things are done the way they are so that it makes sense rather than just blindly doing something. Having very specific videos when being taught something new the first time through (or even going back for review) is crucial! Too many videos 'assume' you know what you're doing but this is vital information, especially for a beginner. Thank you for answering the "whys" and "how to's".

    Ms Pam...This just popped into my feed! I even watched a couple of your past video's- yesterday..The little bell is checked...and here it is..0929 on Friday morning, and I just seeing this was posted. It's not just you, there are a couple of others as well..But, I AM getting notified on channels that I have never subscribed to..imagine that! There are a couple of other channels that I watch and they have mentioned that their views has dropped by thousands. Well, at least they did let me know..just a day late.

      Last winter (November-February) we had big dops in viewers. This winter, it appears to be occurring again. It seems that the Holiday Season and just getting back to "normal" viewing takes a while. We have noting to do with what pops-up on the side of your page. Thank for letting us know. Jim

    Thank you for mentioning altitude / required pressure, wont change unless you physically change location. The canning police groups I fled were so unkind with this “newbie” question. It seemed to be the most common question, other than what spices / seasonings can I use. This too got bombarded with unkind comments. My suggestion was to read a ton of approved recipes and make a list of all spices / seasonings in approved recipes. This gives you an approved list of seasonings / additives to play around with. I hope I am correct.
    I greatly appreciate your videos. Thank you for helping me feel a little more confident 😊
    ps… happy new year to you and Jim! Looking forward to the 2023 videos

      I may be wrong, but I don’t think there are spices or herbs that are off limits for canning. There would, of course, be limits on the amount of those, but that would usually be limited by the taste itself.

      Thanks Cynthia :)
      It’s such a common question from new people, along with recipes, elevation and time for canning. In the Facebook groups any question usually turned into drama by the canning police. When I made that recommendation I was in hopes people would read a canning book and gain some canning knowledge. I personally know a few people that for some strange reason will not open a book, but will trust any random video they come across. Leaving those Facebook canning groups & embracing this community made canning safe and fun for me :)
      All the best in 2023!

      @@cynthiafisher9907 as an example I (being a newer canner) wanted to do ranch flavored potatoes. Why? Who knows lol I saw a video and went WOW! Part of it, initially was a reluctance to buy a canning book. Looking at the ingredients on a dry ranch packet, it has milk products. There is something that happens in the beginning where ranch potatoes sound much better than canning potatoes, and then making them ranch potatoes after opening the jar. Random RUclipsr canning vs. safe canning is very different. That was my lesson to learn and navigate :) along with being part of the right community :)
      How long have you been canning, Cynthia? Favorite thing to can?

      @@mrjsc Ranch flavored potatoes do sound good, don’t they? But, the milk would be a problem. You could, however, add the onion, garlic and whatever else flavorings and then add some sour cream to them when you opened the jar. That might work. I’ve been canning for almost 50 years. My favorite thing to can would probably be peaches in a light syrup. Things I like to have canned on my pantry shelves in the winter are vegetable soup, chicken tortilla soup, green beans, chicken, ground beef, peaches, applesauce, apricots, fruit juices, jams, etc. I wish you well on your canning adventures! It sounds like you are a creative person and will come up with interesting food in jars, once you have the basics down. You are in the right place to learn the safe canning rules, Pam is the best!

      @@cynthiafisher9907 currently I’m doing raw pack meat. Whatever I can find that’s on sale, which in my area is currently pork roast. I did Pam’s beef stew a while back, if I’m remembering it correctly lol I think it might have been called something else. It was a hot pack meal. It will be great on a Kansas blizzard day :)
      I do have a question for Cynthia if ya don’t mind. Let me try to explain this correctly… have you ever had your jar lifter tong gadget compress the ring slightly (when removing after canning) and cause liquid to bubble out of your jars? It would not be siphoning during canning, it would be the lifter compressing the ring and causing bubbling liquid to escape the jars. I started using a a towel to get the jars out of the canner and eliminated the problem. I considered that specific jar to be a failure because air might have rushed in to the jar with the pressure change hot seal being compromised before the overnight cooling. I put that specific jar in the fridge after cooling and ate it the next day. I do believe I’ve explained this situation completely wrong. Have you ever had this happen removing a tight fitting jar after pressure canning? To me that specific jar didn’t seem safe even if it had pinged and sealed during the cooling process.
      Problem solved using a towel. But I’m curious… thoughts?

    I just want to say thank you to both you and Jim. I grew up with canning from my grandmothers then my mom's family. So I learned the ways they and there family's did it. You have really helped me understand why it wasn't always safe. Yes we were blessed I never heard of anyone becoming ill but we really could have. Again thank you for the time you spend
