Comparing the Presto Digital and Instant Pot Max for Pressure Canning
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июн 2021
- We have done scientific testing on both these pots and found them safe for us to use at our elevation at 5000 FT. This video compares the pros and cons of both using a bit of science information to underscore our findings.
IMPORTANT! We just did a follow-up video to this one on pressure canning ground beef in both of these canners. I also added some clarification about how the Presto Digital works. There is good news here about the Presto Digital! It will be released Saturday June 25th.

Your dedication to putting out scientific information is comforting. I have the max and feel I will be using it more since there is just 2 of us. Let it be known you are valued as the most valuable resource out there. Thank you again.
Wow--thank you so much!
Rose, You have said it best! 😁 Thank you Rose Red Homestead!!! 💕
@RoseRedHomestead I agree with her statement. You're so valued. Too many people just jump on and try and tell you how to do things without any regards to safety. You're my number 1 source on RUclips for proper Canning and Food Storage. Keep up the fantastic work! ❤
@@RoseRedHomesteadI hope you'll do an update about the Instant Pot Max, addressing the new information that the manufacturer has published. I'm told that the device isn't accurate enough to reliably maintain the necessary temperature. It would help a lot of people to get more hands-on input on the subject.
Thank you so much for doing these videos! I didn’t even know there was an electric pressure canner and after watching your videos, I decided on the Instant Pot Max because I live alone with a small garden. As a scientist, I really appreciate your scientific approach, I trust that more than anything. I just found your channel last week and I’ve watched most of them now, YOU ROCK!
Wow--thank you. The Max is also my favorite and I trust it completely. So glad you found us and are enjoying the videos.
Thank you for all of your scientific research on these pressure cookers. I trust you implicitly because you do test. I am always leary until. I see that you and Jim have tested new canning processes. Thank you both for all of your hard work in giving us the best advice for these new digital machines.
Thank you for caring about our concerns and needs! Bless you and yours!
Love your data-supported approach to canning. 😊 And comprehensive as always. You make detailed comparisons between the 2 products, with provisions for real life and say outright what the advantages/disadvantages are for the products discussed so we have the information necessary to weigh options and making the right decision--for us. Great work.
Thank you so much!
I appreciate all of your videos...I'm starting this journey with limited information and you explain everything so wonderfully! Thank you!!
So glad I found you. You are absolutely the best site to learn about home canning. Thank you for your tireless work.
BreadaBeth: Thank you! We work very hard at being the best. Jim
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! You and your husband are life savers and we appreciate you and your hard work so much! This was an excellent video.
You are so welcome! Glad it was useful.
I am a newbie. You have helped my way more than the Ball book has. Thank you for all you do.
Wonderful informative video. This comparison is just what we needed. So many details! Thanks for all of your hard work, Pam.
You are so welcome!
What a wonderful job in explaining the difference between each digital canner. I have watched all of your videos on this subject. I know which one I will select thanks to you. Thanks again for imparting your knowledge to all of us. 👍👍👍👍👍
You are very welcome. I will present some new info on the Presto that I just learned during Saturday's video when we do pressure canning of ground beef in both pots.
Thank you so much for all of this information, I am so appreciate people who share their knowledge and your passion for what you do shows. I have never pressure cooked although I have canned preserves. Thinking I need to prepare for the inevitable. Again thank you for sharing I learned a lot!
You are so welcome!
Another great video full of useful information. At 6,000 feet I'm intrigued by the instapot. I will be looking into it more closely. Thank you.
So thankful your son and family are safe.
Thank you so much. We are grateful as well. There were 5 homes lost in that fire, but no loss of life, so we were all blessed.
I love that you explain everything! Thank you for taking the time to educate those of us wanting to learn the how and why behind it for canning!
You are very welcome.
This video was amazing. So informative. Am in Australia so pressure canning at home is not the norm and finding canners is hard and hugely expensive. Good to know there are several more alternatives. Thanks you ❤
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I cannot thank you enough for all the work you have done to help us be safe! I have never canned and your videos have helped me to understand so much and have gotten me excited to start this adventure. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Adding your references and what I learned from you on TikTok! Thanks, sweet soul, you are a blessing.
You are so welcome! And thank you for your support! We appreciate all efforts to get the word out.
Wow! This is a GREAT video. You explained the difference in terms most people understand and explained how the pressure and temps work together. But, I think for now, I will keep my old Presto model canner. It took me a long time to be comfortable using a pressure canner and now that I am comfortable with it, I will stick to the old school. Thanks so much!
Glad you enjoyed it! My old Presto is also my go to pressure canner! The new ones are fun, but I always go back to my old faithful!
Thank you so much for this comparison. I have been looking for something like this. You have solved my problems. Keep up the great work.
You are very welcome. Glad it was helpful!
Pam - you are so awesome. I was trying to figure if I needed to purchase one of these models, what were the advantages, which one? You answered all of my questions and I love that you have included all of the scientific evidence after following an established protocol. I look forward to all of your videos. Take care and stay safe!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for your kind comments.
Thanks so much for sharing this valuable info. I love the idea of small batches rather than lugging out my 'BIG BOY' especially in the heat of summer. Sounds perfect for dealing with garden harvests that come on in small batches. The Instant Pot is on my radar now and added to my wish list, not that I want yet another small appliance but it sounds irresistible : ))
I have the same attitude toward those small convenience appliances, but this is one exception I have made, and I am so glad we did. I love the Max.
Your approach to knowledge is very comforting. So many pages are not science based. You are great. Thank you. Yes, knowledge is power.
So nice of you, thank you.
Thank you! This was an amazing video. I'm so afraid of canning so these electric canners are up my alley. Thank you for providing a data driven review. It is very much appreciated.
You are so welcome! So glad this is helping you to feel safe with your canning.
Ohhhh thanks for explaining about your educational background. Being a bit of a blue stocking, myself, I very much appreciate your approach and your concern for safety and our health .
Thank you, thank you for this video!!! I was about to purchase the Presto and would have been so disappointed. Also, let me say, that you gave more information on each of the pots than I received when I contact each pots site. I for one, would be lost without your wisdom and knowledge that you so freely pass on. Thank you again, suzie
I appreciate your information-based videos. You are an excellent teacher. I am sorry to hear of your son's lost home.
Thank you so much. We are so glad they are safe.
You are wealth of knowledge and make the science so clear and understandable, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge it’s definitely a great gift you’re sharing.
Wow, thank you! Thanks for watching.
I am new to canning (just waiting for my electric presto to be delivered) and I want to say I absolutely love your expository videos. I have been snooping for a while, around RUclips and various blogs, trying to absorb as much information as I can about canning and canners, etc. and your channel and videos have given invaluable scientific information which I have been hard-pressed to find elsewhere. I feel like you are my professor and I am finally paying attention in science class. Lol. Please take it as a compliment. I haven't been through all your videos yet, but I am sure that I will get through most of them soon. New sub here from Montreal, Canada. Thank you so much for your research. As a researcher myself, I appreciate the initiative.
The explanation can not get any clearer than this! Once again, thank you so very much.
You're very welcome! Thanks for your kind comments.
You are an excellent teacher🥰!! Thank you for taking your time and money to demonstrate these two canners. Love my All Americans and Presto but they if I had to go with an electric canner I’d have to do the InstaPot Max as I live in Florida and I can’t see cooking food for longer than needed or at unnecessary high pressure. Thank you again.
Wow, thank you! You are well situated with your canners!
I had purchased the presto digital canner before I watched your two videos regarding the science. I was not confused, but wished I had found your researched canning video first. Having said that, I’m watching this one next. Thank you for your method of explaining your research.
You are very welcome. This next video will have some good news for you!
Thank you for the information, the way you explain things is very helpful. I really understand what canning is because of your videos. Thank you and God Bless You
Thank you so much.
Thank you Pam….I appreciate your knowledge in testing the new Presto I have it and I am feeling more confidant that its safe for me being just under 1000feet.
You are very welcome. So glad you are gaining confidence.
Very helpful review of both appliances. I love the honesty and unbiased integrity of your reviews. It’s so helpful to know what to expect and how things perform prior to making an important purchase. Based on your analysis and review of the InstantPot Max, I requested it for my wedding anniversary gift this year. I absolutely love it and have complete confidence using it to can small batches of foods. I only wish it had a larger capacity! I use it weekly and now I couldn’t live without it. Thank you for your tireless efforts to bring us accurate information.
You are so welcome. You might want to check out our next video--I pressure can ground beef in the Max and the Presto, and it was not good news for the Max. But I explain some new things I have learned as well.
@@RoseRedHomestead I eagerly await it.
I’m very thankful for this video. I’d like to have the small canner because many times I’m canning something and end up with a little extra that won’t fit in the batch with my stovetop canner. I had almost decided I should get only the small one.... until the video’s end. It would be nice to have the option to can things indoors in the summer without heating up the house. I would need greater capacity to put away my normal size batches for my family. This video is incredibly helpful and appreciated, especially your input concerning the meat sauce. Thank you!
Thank you for that excellent review! I'm going to stick with my 43 year old Presto (same one you have) although I would love to have an All American pressure canner! Loving watching all of your videos from the beginning!
I just bought a pressure canner, and I am doing all the research I can get my hands before I start and here you are, a scientist and everything, just what I needed. thank you very much 👩🏽🌾👍🏽🌱🧡🙏🏽 Have a nice day.
You are very welcome. I am glad the information was timely and useful for you.
Thanks so much for all the time you have given. An amazing video.
I just love how thoroughly you explain the science behind canning! I always defer to your knowledge when in doubt! I prefer my regular Presto canner, but if I were looking for a smaller canner I would probably go with the InstaPot Max! Thanks again Pam for your excellent videos!
Thank you for watching our channel and applying that information. Jim
I am so glad that you mentioned about having knowledge when it comes to using proper used of appliance. Most of the video's I've seen are cutting the most important purpose of appliances. It's like a guessing game.
M P: See above reply. Jim
I would so love for you to do a series on nutrition value in dehydrated, water bath and pressure canned foods.
Thanks You so much for your wonderful explainations. You make me feel like I am back in college with a very intelligent, well informed and beloved professor. I'm a new subscriber. I don't know why I haven't found your channel before this. Much Love
Thank you so very much for your kind comments, and welcome to our channel. We are very glad you have joined us!
Was the information released on the Presto canner? I want to buy one of these, and I thank God for Rose for all the information she puts out, I trust her.
I love my Instant Pot Max. If only it could process quarts! I really enjoyed seeing you put the Presto through its paces. Well done!
Thanks for watching! I love the Max as well. I also tested the Nesco and it is the one I use now for quarts when doing small batches.
It is extremely appreciated all the work you put into your videos. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are very welcome!
You make me want to be a scientist! I wonder how I can get started at 75 years old :) I have an All American but I also have a glass top stove so it's not recommended to use them together. I pressure can outside on a propane burner and have to put up with blocking wind, low ambient temperatures, snow, etc. This makes canning a real chore during the 8 months of "winter". So I ordered the Presto electric as soon as I found out about it.
Thank you for your videos!! Very informative. I made the decision after watching a few of these on the canning to go with a traditional canner.
I just freaking love you. Your videos are by far the best. Thank you .!!!. You just saved me from buyer's remorse.
Glad I could help! But I do have a correction: I hit the wrong button on the Max--Pressure Cook instead of Pressure Can--which explains why the temp was lower than usual. So I can now recommend the Max for pressure canning ground beef!
How can we say thank you enough? While there are more and more of us working to become more self efficient and self sustainable, reliable, safe education in those areas is seriously lacking. Even from those of us who have been canning for years you are teaching and giving us tools we have never had. Thank you both for your time and expense that you have put into these videos. I agree with others that the manufacturers should reimburse you. Thank you!
Such kind words--thank you so much. We appreciate that and also appreciate others who help get the word out on safe canning.
Thanks for teaching me so much, I purchased the instant pot max and have been canning chicken and beef, I am I the 600 Elevation range, I had the instant pot set to 2000, and the temp stayed about 247, after reading through questions that I put the elevation to 0. The temp is 248 and bouncing to 250. Happy canner here
So happy I saw this comparison. I had just ordered the Presto and decided to change it to the Instant Pot Max. The customization won me over. Just starting to can and I believe this will be easier for me. Thank you so much for doing these videos. You are an excellent teacher.
I agree with you. After watching Pam’s videos, I am returning my Nesco I just ordered, and will order the Instant Pot Max
I am so glad you made this video. I have wanted to try using an IP but have had concerns about them. I may actually get one now. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
Glad it was useful. The only IP made for pressure canning is the Max.
Thank you so much! I hope you realize what a blessing you are :). I’ve learned so much from you.
Thank you--our whole purpose is to offer ideas that will benefit people, so that you for your comment.
Thank you! I ordered the Presto made of aluminium 23 quart because I want to be able to use quarts or a mess of pints if I want. And be able to use it with my kitchen stove or on a butane stove outside if I have to. I'm still learning! Please stay safe and sending hugs to you both 💜🙏😎
You're so wonderful! Thank you so much! I'm SO beyond happy to have your input to help me make my decisions on an pressure canner!
Glad to help!
There has to be a better word than "excellent" for me to use here?? The knowledge is priceless, I do hope that the new canners are hanging on every word you say and will follow your science. I've told several about the IP Max but said "wait", she will give more data. Very happy that this IP Max does well, as I only live at 1000 ft elevation. The extra pressure on green beans and squash in the Presto will turn them to mush at my elevation. We appreciate your time in doing this. Great work !!
Thank you so much. I really love the Max even though I still use my traditional stove top canner as my #1.
Thank you for such a great explanation of both. It helps so much, especially since they cost a lot and I still want to be safe. We have always can the "old" way. Now that there is just two of us we just don't need that much, but some foods just don't taste good from the store as from home.
We are in that same boat, and I know that I will continue to put up preserved foods using a variety of processes. We like it so much better than store food, and we want to be prepared for emergencies.
Thank you for educating us on the pros and cons if both canners
You are very welcome. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for your videos. I really appreciate you and your husband. Knowledge IS power. 🥰
Wow, your students are so blessed to have you as a teacher! Your so down to earth, and clear in your talks. This video helped me so decide! Thanks for all you do! ♥️🙏🏼
Thanks, Rose , for the testing, comparison and reviews on the 2 electric pressure canners. This information is priceless. I have the Instant Pox Max and I think I will order the Presto Digital canner as well. But it is very important to know limitations of each and use them accordingly. Your hard work will be invaluable in helping me can in the coming years. I agree with your assessment 100% , as to USDA recommendations and their worth. I have heard other issues with this as well. It is best to do your own research , which you have done for many of us!
Thank you, Sue! I appreciate your sharing your thoughts.
@@RoseRedHomestead My pleasure!
I started canning 6 months ago at age 64 retired and enjoying it since I got the Nesco Canner. (Love it) I bought the Presto 23qt but my stove is hard to keep regulated. You have taught me so much, clearly and precisely. I feel safe with your advice. Thank you.
With your comparison did you find an issue with the quality of food in the presto digital canner? Concerned that it holds the pressure for a much longer time possibly over processing the food. I live in Salt Lake and just purchased the Presto digital. I am planning on canning meals in a jar and was a little concerned about your comment on meat sauce canning with the Presro Digital. I am assuming that at 4200 ft the temp would be high enough to can those type of meals safely. You are the ultimate resource I use for canning, preserving and all food storage instruction and questions. Thank you so much for both of your time and efforts in helping us to be safe in these efforts. Please keep up the information flow.
Very glad I found you! New Sub. We expanded our gardening this year and my wife was talking about using her Insta-Pot to can. She doesn't have the Insta-Pot Max, so pressure canning is a No Go until we either buy old school or upgrade to the Insta-Pot Max...I too like the customization.
Thanks for the sub! We appreciate that. I love the Max. The down side is it only does 4 pints at a time. But usually works for us. For me, the safest way to pressure can is with a standard stove top pressure canner, but the Max is second to that. Thanks for your comments.
The IP Max seems the best choice for me, as I live alone. I keep my All American in the garage, for the times I need a bigger batch, or want to can quart size jars. My water bath equipment is out there, too. I like to put up fruits, jams, mustards, pickled, for holiday gift giving. Plus, the canners in my garage require no electricity. Thanks for sharing your expertise 😃
First off, love your videos. They are so informative. I was just watching this video and there is a way to advance the presto pressure canner from the warm jar function to the heat function. You may already know this since this video was made a year ago but thought I would let you know in case you didn’t. Just hold down the arrow button for a few seconds once it’s in the warm jar function and it will skip that and go to the heat function.
Thank you for this info! Happy canning!
So grateful for your curious mind. I appreciate and trust your testing.
I'm glad to see that some electric appliances are safe for pressure canning - and that you conducted your own experiments despite the fact that previous testing had shown devices to be unsafe. Thank you so much for this video! I very much appreciated learning how you conducted the test, and being able to get a snapshot of the data you gathered.
You are welcome. Of course, I cannot say that these canners are safe at all elevations or situations. The only think my testing shows is that they are safe at my elevation and I feel safe in using the Max for my family for any food. The Presto failed the test with quarts of thicker meat sauce, so I am more wary of that canner for my family.
@@RoseRedHomestead I would love to see others conducting similar tests at different elevations. I understand completely why you say that, at elevations greater than 5,000 feet, the devices may fail to reach out maintain the necessary temperature. But is it fairly safe to assume they will work correctly at lower elevations?
@@KylaMattonOsborne My best guess is yes. I would also like to see testing at more elevations on these canners.
So so happy I stopped in here before considering what details I need to look at. LOVE LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
Awesome! Thank you! Jim
I just ordered the Presto Pressure Canner, I pray I didn’t make a mistake! We are below a 1,000 feet elevation! Thank you so much for your videos!
It will be just fine. Jim
Wow! This video is amazing, lots of data and explanations. Bravo and thank you!
You are welcome. Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for your expertise and data collection! So insightful
My pleasure! Glad it was helpful.
As I said before, I do have the IP Max, and am learning to use it. Was debating about the Presto, but it seems to me that food would lose nutritional value without the ability to adjust for altitude. For now, I'll stick with my Max. Thanks for doing these videos. I have a feeling your students come away from your classes with a sound knowledge because you are such a good teacher.
I hope that is true about my students. The Max is a good machine. Thanks for your comments.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work....as a new canner it is greatly appreciated
You are so welcome!
I was super happy to find this information. You are an amazing TEACHER! Truly this was beyond the usual "how to" video and your research and data results were compelling. I have been canning for two seasons now and decided to try pressure canning (beef barley soup) for the first time last night in my IP Pro. All was going exceptionally well and I believed all would end well.
WARNING!!!! Unfortunately, like other times in water bath canning, one of my jars broke!!! OMG - this was not good. This immediately turned my IP into a scene from Yellowstone's "Old Faithful" geyser - spewing heated steam and soup out of the vent - spilling liquid onto my kitchen counter and onto the floor. YIKES!!! Thank God no one was near the IP when it began to erupt! Thankfully there is a built in mechanism to shut the pot down. To be honest, I don't know if there was a warning signal at all - I was on the telephone and distracted right when this happened.
I have read since that LISTENING in the beginning for a jar "crack" should prevent this from going as far it did. I am curious though - why do jars tend to break? Is it possible because I used those jars for canning before? Should I always use brand new jars for pressure canning especially (in water bath not as serious an issue of course). Is it because I may have put too much food in the jar? ... though in this case all jars were equally filled and only one jar broke (the bottom cracked off completely). It was 45 minutes in when this happened. The temp ranged from 242F - 248F. According to one scientist, my other jars should be fine ie spores, and I intend to keep those. Any advice or others with a similar story. Did you try it again afterwards? I am a little concerned now about using it again. Perhaps doing the canning outside will be one way to ensure safety for all.
Knowledge is power, use it wisely. Clear Spring High School, Class of 1965's class motto - -- thanks for the memory and the smile.
Omg...I am now feeling more competent to try canning...I took a canning course 8 years ago and had gotten away from canning in the last 5 years. I feel like I can now get back to canning thanks to you....and now living in a small apartment I will be using the IP....with confidence thanks to you...I will say it again...you are an amazing teacher!!
No, I do not recommend using diatomaceous earth at all...ever...in food. It is not recommended by the USDA or by the Utah State University Extension as well as other extension offices. I do use it in my garden for pests.
@@RoseRedHomestead what???!! I don't know what you are talking about.....
Thanks for the information! I have been contemplating the presto digital. I'm even less sure now. However I do believe that knowledge and training are powerful tools.
We agree. Jim
I just bought an insta pot max because I have a glass top stove that's not designed for caners and I like the idea of small batches at a time (elevation 614 ft).
I'm pretty much learning everything from you.
I did send away for the USDA book for pressure cooking though.
My mother use to water bath can when I was a kid but I'm hoping to put up foods like beef stew, so that's pressure canning.
I'll be catching up on a few of your videos before I give it a go though.
Thanks for all of the videos.
Without people like you, I believe home canning could become a lost art.
You can also steam can in place of water bath canning. I have a glass top stove and bought the butane burner for my big old pressure canner. I recommend also finding a non electric option to have on hand for any possible grid down situations. I bought a nice one at a thrift store for $30. I need to have the pressure gauge tested at the county extension office. Know you can buy replacement parts on amazon.
Truly excellent video and information. I have an IP Duo and do use it with caution for certain foods that will be thoroughly reheated however wanted to upgrade to the Max. I've seen some poor reviews however and so was reluctant. I'm now very certain it's the one for me, especially as I'm at sea level. Thanks 😊. P.S. I heat my jars in the microwave (4 jars 1/4 full of water about 4 minutes until the water boils)
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for your comments.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Miss Pam for doing the scientific comparison for us on both the I Pot Max and the Presto canners!!!!!! I bought the I Pot canner because it is the one that you have used when not using your big canner. I however like the fact that the Presto can can up to 7 quarts and 8 pints at a time. I however do not like the in for a penny in for a pound type 15 pounds of pressure for everything, the having to be there to advance to each step, and the half fill jars with water to sterilize and to warm. I much prefer the ability to just set it and forget it type thing of the I Pot. I never would have thought of the kill zone time difference between the two. I am in Florida where I am below sea level. So the kill zone will go higher for me here than you there on the Colorado Plateau. Again, I want to thank you for ALL your hard work, and ALL your scientific knowledge, and ALL your effort put forth on our behalf. I can not tell you how appreciative I am. I am on disability and have to watch every penny I spend. I have been saving up for a big canner, but have a rental apt that does not have gas only the flat top cooking surface. So, the I Pot Max or the Presto canners would be best for me at this time to start canning and storing food. So, bless you in your efforts to show proper canning instructions and how newer "pots" work for us!!!
The Presto Digital does 5 quarts and 8 pints, and I have revised the 15 lbs pressure for everything statement after learning more information. We present that in the video coming up this Saturday which also show pressure canning ground beef in both canners.
Thank you so much! I appreciate your knowledge and your willingness to share it. :)
Thank you for your great video. I live at 7450 elevation, bought on Presto Electric canner, I was waiting to here your review. I stopped the video and sending the canner back. I guess I’ll have to learn the old fashioned way of canning. I’m 61, on my bucket list to can.
You are welcome. We are presenting some newly-learned info on how the Presto works in our next video, but even given that, I would not be comfortable using either of these at your elevation. You can learn to pressure can! Just like anything other skill, you will need to learn the process and do a practice run or two, and then wonder why you haven't been doing it all these years. LOL
I am also 61, and I learned to can at age 60. For many years I was interested but nobody to teach me. Now I have learned through RUclips and love it! Jump in, but just understand the science first!
@@JaniceCrowell Thanks for the encouragement! You can teach old dog new tricks!
@@JaniceCrowell A true success story! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
I purchased my IP Max when it was first released specifically for its ability to pressure can. I didn’t even wait for it to go on sale. I mean who pays full price for an instant pot nowadays. 😀
I have a glass top electric stove. Additionally, I did not yet own a conventional pressure canner. I was very let down when I found that IP Max was not approved for pressure canning in USA. My wonderful sister recently gifted me an All American pressure cooker. But I still have a glass top stove 😞 I have been assured by my sister that it will be just fine to pressure can on glass top, but I have yet to convinced myself. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your scientific testing. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for you data collection and sharing of that information. I now have the confidence to use my IP Max for canning low acid food.
Thank you so much for your comments. What a wonderful sister you have. That All American is a great canner!
THANK YOU. Your knowledge is awesome. I appreciate your sharing it with us.
Thanks for the detailed information! Based on this information I will get the InstaPot MAX. I only need pints. And, these days I can only afford small amounts of meats to can anyway.
Thank you so much for sharing your solid knowledge. It has been so helpful to a rather new canner.
You are very welcome and we are so glad to have you in our community. There are good people here who are always willing to share good ideas and offer support.
I absolutely love this video, it is factual , informative and well planned. The attractiveness of the Presto electric canner is there for me, but I still will divert to the regular stove-top pressure canner for reliability and safety reasons. Am curious though the safety of the machines at higher than 5000 ft. elevation, which doesn't impact me at 1000 ft., still curious! , However I see myself buying a Presto Electric now for the reasons you stated and proved in your videos (Presto and Insta-Pot should gift you product for your well demonstrated videos) . As for sanitizing jars, I will always err on the side of safety and sanitize jars. Well done video ;Thanks for taking the time to make and post ! Again, loved this video, as all your videos. Take care and be safe !
Thank you, Nate. We appreciate you comments and your confidence in what we do. We will be presenting a bit of new information I just figured out on the Presto on Saturday's video. We show pressure canning of ground beef in both canners as we go.
@@RoseRedHomestead I look forward to watching!
on a side note, I'm still waiting to learn to tie that "little knot thing" on the homemade pasta
SUPERBLY thorough and concise video. Thank you so much.🤗
You are very welcome. Thanks for your comments.
You've convinced me that even though I really want an electric pressure canner, I need to start with a presto stovetop canner.
Thanks for this. I've had that same old Presto for many years. I've been thinking of a second canner, possibly something more auto. I think I'll stick with my old one. Maybe the little I.P. to run when I just want to throw in a few pints that I don't need to babysit 🤔
I am getting a insta pot Max we'd from what you have said both are good I like the instant pot Max where I can input my own settings thanks again for a very informative video and hi to you both and Jim
Thank you for the great, informative video. 👍 I am so happy that I bought the Instant Pot Max instead of the Presto. Whew! The Presto seems like a real pain to use. I don't mind that mine only does 4 pints. If I need to process more, or can quarts, I'll use one of my regular canners. Thank you again for the thorough evaluation of both canners. Will be sharing this video. 😀💗
That about sums up how I feel as well. Thanks for your comment.
I agree with you completely. After the instant pot max review I bought one and it is so much less work than the presto electric!
@@JaniceCrowell I agree as well. I am sure I will use the Presto for some things, but the Max is my preferred pot between the two.
Just ordered this. I didn’t want to buy a new pressure canner or stove after moving and needed to get some canning done. This is my third instant pot. Hopefully they’ll come out with one that cans quarts soon!
I hope they do too!
I absolutely love your videos! Thank you so much for imparting your knowledge!
You are so welcome!
❤️👍 You are the best teacher ever! Thank you for all your sharing.
Thank you! 😃
I have to Chime in with Chan Yan and agree, you are THE BEST Science Teacher I have Ever had!!!!!
@@Stephenrsm7600 Wow--thank you!
You are the best teacher 💖⚘I enjoy watching your videos. Knowledge is power..⚘⚘⚘⚘
Thank you!
Another GREAT Video... living at sea level is a very important factor in my canning process... Thank you for your time and efforts... much appreciated.. :)
Our pleasure! Thanks for your comments.
Ok! IP Max went on sale so I ordered it! I’ll be testing out your protocol😘 thank you!
Rose, I must say your channel is really a public service. To have someone with your level of expertise teaching on such an important subject is invaluable. I mean, this is literally a matter of life and death. There have been whole families found dead around the dinner table because they ate poorly canned food which had developed Botulism in storage. Eek! Personally, I trust your advice and will follow it closely. I like how you actually teach the process of killing those nasty little germs! Botulinum Toxin is one of the most dangerous substances on earth. But, canning correctly is perfectly safe. Thanks so much!
You are very welcome and I really appreciate your kind words.
Actually it takes many hours for botulism to kick in.
excellent!! I always check with you on a topic connected with canning. I have the Instant pot max.
Hope you like it! We use ours all the time!
