Oh God bless you a thousand times are once! You explained how to maintain the pressure SO well! I'm almost in tears I'm so happy. I have canned all my life. I couldn't remember, today, how to fix my pressure issue. I don't know why. I'm just glad I found you. Thank you, thank you, and thank you! ❤❤❤
Thank you very much for these informations . Living in Austria I ordered a Dial-Gauge Pressure Canner via Amazon in May 2018. Cooking with a Pressure Cooker I´m practicing since about 40 years, but never did Canning with it. Pressure Canning is not usual in Europe, only Water Bath Canning or Canning in the oven. I prefered the Water Canning method until now and it worked best. I learned it from my grandmother and mother. But some recipes could not be done with this method. Now I will try something new!!!!
Thank you so much for your service to the public in creating this great video (and probably also the many hours you spend teaching classes and answering questions). I've been pressure canning with a weighted-gauge/dial Presto canner but recently got a nice used jiggler style Mirro canner and have been afraid to use it. This video has been helpful to know how to proceed with it. Thank you and God Bless!
Excellent video! I have a bumper crop of tomatoes this year, and just broke out my Mirro canner just like the one used in the video. Canning isn't complicated but there are a few rules that you have to follow, and I haven't done any canning in several years. Thanks for reminding me of the basics!
Thank you! The step by step video is great :) I'm scared of my pressure cooker, it's weighted with no gadge to read. I have beans waiting to be canned and was unsure of exactly how much rocking was wanted/expected. I'm going to attempt it! Thanks:)
Hello! We have looked at our Mirro canner as well and also are unable to find a model number. We recommend reaching out directly to Mirro: 1-800-251-8824 You can also look on their website: www.pressurecooker-outlet.com/Mirro-Pressure-Canner.htm
Thank you for this. I have a problem, i cannot SEE the steam escaping my 12 quart Mirro pressure canner. I can Hear it and Feel it, but I cannot SEE it, even after 20 minutes and i can hear it boiling inside the entire time. Is seeing and hearing just fine or do i have to SEE it as well? Thank you
It may sound silly to repeat but just in case... Have the water at 180° when you start and make sure the heat is turned all the way up when you put the lid on. Also check to make sure the pressure canner is sealed well at the lid with the correct rubber gasket that has no cracks or dry rot (or oil for a canner with no gasket, but I'm not familiar with that type I only saw it on another video). One other thing I can think of to check is that the vent is free of debris particles or grease. Try it with no jars and 3" of water for a half hour or more to see if you get any better results. I've had to learn more patience with this type of canner for sure.
I have a 12 mirro .I bought a new seal..but when I tried it. steam came out the side of canner by the handle..do you have any ideal. what else it could be..thank you
I'm trying to buy a pressure canner from amazon but they don't say if it's weighted gauge or not how can I tell..in want the one where I don't have to have the pressure checked
No, do not add more water to the pot. Add jars of plain water. Use an old lid since it doesn't matter if it seals unless you want to can and save water also.
canning tool kit. I found mine at Ace Hardware for 10 or $12 and they are on Amazon too, but i didn't get the magnet thing with mine for the lids. beginner here. I have watched a dozen of these videos and still haven't been able to do the actual canning. I like this one because my canner doesn't have the dial on it. So this was very helpful for me
Yes, a pressure canner should be used when canning any meat. Visit extension.sdstate.edu/canning-meats-and-poultry for the best practices for canning chicken.
Either you still have pressure inside of the canner because it is still hot and there is steam, or , it is cooled off and there is a vacuum ( less than atmospheric, negative PSIG ) pressure inside of the canner. Is there a vent valve that you can open? Equalize the the atmospheric pressure with the pressure inside of your canner. This will take the contact force off the mating surfaces and eliminate the friction between the two surfaces which will allow them to slide/rotate to the open position. Also some models have a safety mechanical interlock which prevents the lid from being removed until pressure has dropped to zero PSIG. This protects you from being scalded by the hot steam. Let us know what worked for you since it has been two years ago.

Interesting as the stove i bought for our rental said it was not able to be used for canning. The staff at the store specified that too. Though it can be used for oven canning with the convection option.
The combined weight of the pressure canner filled with water, jars and food can get very heavy. This is quite a bit more weight than you would usually have while cooking a normal sized meal. The heavy weight is what may crack the glass top of the stove.
I haven't tried canning on my second-hand flat top yet, I'll be calling the manufacturer about it. However I've been using nothing but cast iron pots and pans on it for a long time with no problems, even my big Dutch oven for soups.
how do I know if the pressure is at 10 pounds? and it's staying at 10 pounds of pressure. The one i have says T-Fal Canners Autoclave ( thats what it says on the user's manual)

We are glad this information is useful!
Thanks for the video. My Mirro was second hand so no instructions came with it.
I am processing some smoked king salmon for the first time and needed some basic info. This was excellent! Thank you.

Excellent video, Ms. Meyer. Thank you for explaining both of the canner types.

Thank you so much you did an excellent job explaining everything!! This is by far the BEST video on RUclips!!!!! THANK YOU!
You did sych a good job. Thank you. Very clear to understand. I also appreciated your explanations.
Thanks!! I was loaned a pressure canner exactly like this and wasn’t sure how to use it. Ironically I’m canning green beans too!
Thank you! The step by step video is great :) I'm scared of my pressure cooker, it's weighted with no gadge to read. I have beans waiting to be canned and was unsure of exactly how much rocking was wanted/expected. I'm going to attempt it! Thanks:)
How long does it take for the qauge to start wiggling
Excellent instructional video! Thanks so much.
Great information. Thank you for sharing your experience pressure canning!
I have a mirro that is just like yours but can’t find the model number anywhere, I need a new part for it, what’s the model of your mirro?

Best instructional video I have seen
Thank you for this.
I have a problem, i cannot SEE the steam escaping my 12 quart Mirro pressure canner.
I can Hear it and Feel it, but I cannot SEE it, even after 20 minutes and i can hear it boiling inside the entire time.
Is seeing and hearing just fine or do i have to SEE it as well?

Such a very good instructional video, thank you!
This was so helpful! Thank you so much!!
The little man in the background looks like he's dancing as the steam comes out! lol. Thanks for this video. God bless.
very good presentation
I have a 12 mirro .I bought a new seal..but when I tried it. steam came out the side of canner by the handle..do you have any ideal. what else it could be..thank you
I did mine wrong. I didn't build the steam before I put on the weight. Do I need to start over?
How long is the time for canning quart green beans after jingling has started
I'm trying to buy a pressure canner from amazon but they don't say if it's weighted gauge or not how can I tell..in want the one where I don't have to have the pressure checked
Wonderful tutorial
Thanks so much for this informative video. If I don’t have enough jars to fill the canner, do I need to add more water?
No, do not add more water to the pot. Add jars of plain water. Use an old lid since it doesn't matter if it seals unless you want to can and save water also.
I bought one that only has a weight, how do I know when its safe to open???
We just got one, but can’t figure out how to open it any tips
Thank you. Very informative ❤️
Where can we purchase the special tools you are using?
Do they have a name?
Thank you.

what happens if you do have bubble in the jar before putting in canner?
Siphoning into the canner of contents from jar. That could lead to bad seal.
@@elizabethcope1502 Thanks I didn't know why I was getting rid of bubbles just that I had too.
Can you use the rocking canner for canning raw chicken
Yes, a pressure canner should be used when canning any meat. Visit extension.sdstate.edu/canning-meats-and-poultry for the best practices for canning chicken.
How do I know what weight do I use
Are the jars in water
Is this process the same for meats?
Thanks so much, nicely done
Thank you for such. A great job:.
Can you help me to get the lid off my graniteware 12 qt canner,cooker,steamer it wont let go

Thanks for the video from my Alma mater. Graduate of 1989
Thankyou VERY much!
I wouldn’t use it on a glass top stove, I’ve heard the tops could crack because the heat & temp difference.
We have canned for years on our glass top stove. It’s been fine.
Interesting as the stove i bought for our rental said it was not able to be used for canning. The staff at the store specified that too. Though it can be used for oven canning with the convection option.
We have a publication that addresses this as well: extension.sdstate.edu/canning-smooth-stovetop
The combined weight of the pressure canner filled with water, jars and food can get very heavy. This is quite a bit more weight than you would usually have while cooking a normal sized meal. The heavy weight is what may crack the glass top of the stove.

how do I know if the pressure is at 10 pounds? and it's staying at 10 pounds of pressure. The one i have says T-Fal Canners Autoclave ( thats what it says on the user's manual)
The Ball Blue Book Cookbook will tell you what pounds of pressure to use.
Thank you !!!!!
