What brand is it? I love to can all sorts of food. I've done tomatoes, chili sauce, spaghetti sauce, relish, pickles and many types of jellies. But this year our garden was a huge disapointment! But next year I'm praying for a good harvest.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17452626776404143974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718213120469459327.post-26918698009557950342009-10-09T14:17:32.921-04:002009-10-09T14:17:32.921-04:00We can too and we got an All-American (a smaller o...We can too and we got an All-American (a smaller one) canner last year. It's so much nicer than the cheaper ones. We can fruits and veggies...my family cans meat, but we don't for some reason...warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03927162550870912773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718213120469459327.post-86552483739347067502009-10-08T11:05:55.911-04:002009-10-08T11:05:55.911-04:00Tammi,

Even though I grew up helping my mom (and we never had any issues) I still was scared... until THIS caner. It has a gauge to let me know what is going on! I have a flat top, too... I have no problem canning on it. In fact my new pressure caner comes up to temp way faster than my water bath caner because you only have to put a few inches of water in it!!<br /><br />You can NOT water bath can MEAT! It has to get to a higher temp than you can get with boiling water since it is not acidic. You have to pressure can it at 10 pounds pressure for 90 minutes!!! Do you have a kerosene cook stove or a LP deep fryer?? You could use those to can on. <br /><br />HeatherMore than Survivalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07391332999979380361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3718213120469459327.post-58448890305161272682009-10-08T09:48:12.828-04:002009-10-08T09:48:12.828-04:00Very cool!

I really need to get myself a coil element stove again so that I can make better use of the canner I have (which I can't even bring to a boil on my flat-top!) and maybe someday branch out to pressure-cookers! (I have to admit, they scare me a little. My mom's told me some nightmarish stories about HER mom's pressure cooking experiences!)<br /><br />I've looked on Recipezaar for meat canning recipes and directions, but they all only give directions for pressure canning. How long do you think you'd have to process in a hot water bath?tammihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803890115567631062noreply@blogger.com
