I need help with my pressure canner, it is a weighted guage. I canned potatoes when I first got it and had to throw them all out. For the life of me I cannot find the sweet spot on my electric stove, I have to adjust the temp up and down on the heat, then all the fluid comes out of the jars...

In another thread, I mentioned that I have a pressure canner that I have never had the guage tested, or if I have, it would be close to 40 yrs ago when I did, shortly after getting the canner which I had bought used at a garage sale. So I am thinking I better look into this. So several phone...

What's the pros and cons of the various pressure canners out there? What do I need to know to buy one? Which one would you recommend? I bought a secondhand pressure cooker the other day, only to be told a cooker is different than a canner! So now I am interested in purchasing a pressure...

I ran across this on the net while shopping for a pressure container. this is expensive! I do like the idea of not having to can in your kitchen and make the house hot. Canners - Electric Waterbath Canner

I just purchased the 921 All American Pressure Canner from Amazon a couple of hours ago..I hope to start a new way of preserving my bounty and cook my food in a short period of time..I would love to hear anything related to this particular model..:thumb:

I canned 10 quarts of tart cherries this year and my rack for the waterbath canner turned black! It didn't get that much lighter in color when I washed it with warm soapy water when I did the canner also. Anyone know how to get the color turned back from black? Will the black color ruin anything...

I have a large (21 qt) All American Pressure Canner. Unfortunately we are renting a townhouse with a glass top stove. My understanding from All American's website and from calling them, I can't can on this stove. What do you suggest instead?

I'm getting ready to purchase my first pressure canner - I am going to have to order it from our local Tru-Value hardware store because it seems no one around here carries them even seasonally. I'm just not sure what it is I should look for in one. I'm also unsure about what size to get. I plan...

I'm planning to do jams and tomatoes in pint and quart size jars. I'm looking at either a 21 quart or a 33 quart. Any advice? I'm a complete novice and want to buy smart so I don't need to rebuy.

I am soooooooooo stoked about this thing! My SIL got it for me and said she had a really hard time finding one. It's one of my most coveted gifts this Christmas. :) The trouble is that now, Superstore isn't selling the jars I want for the canner. They are selling a few items for canning but...

I haven't used it for about a year, but I pulled it out today to can some chicken broth. The steam started coming out the vent, but when I added the weight, it never started jiggling! I tried it twice, with no change. Lots of steam, but no movement of the pressure indicator. I checked, and...

Does anyone do this? What is the estimated shelf life? I wanted to preserve some pasta sauce (which I am currently making with ground turkey) for my stockpile. I am also thinking of doing the same with chili, soup, etc. But if people haven't had good luck with preserving it, I'll resort to...

Some one posted sometime ago about an electric canner, however I can't find one by googling! Any ideas on brands or where to find one???

I've wanted one for a long time and decided that this is the year. It's more confusing than I expected. First off, absolutely no one sells them either instore or online in Canada (at least not that I can find), so I will be ordering from the States. I was going to get the Presto 23qt., but...

Okay, so I have my green beans all worked up, in jars ready to pressure can. And... my canner is busted! The gauge is broken. I can get replacement parts, no problem. But, I have jars of green beans sitting here. I'm going over to my sis-in-law's to use her cooker and finish these off...

Ladies, I made my chicken stock and ham stock today. In fact it's still cooking away on low in the crockpot, but I have a major problem.... I can not find my user manual for my 22qt. Mirro pressure canner. I have misplaced it some where in the move and can't find it. I haven't used the pressure...

I bought a Back to Basics BWC from Walmart.com. It has a rack that I think will only fit quart size jars. Can I buy a rack that will fit smaller jars? If so, where? TIA!

Hello, My name is Susan. I am relatively new to Frugal Village, but I have been a home canner for a long time. My family is very into home food storage and preparedness. It is also part of our religous principles to put food by. I buy food staples in bulk, cook with the food we also buy...

I am ISO of a pressure canner. Should I get as big as I can afford? *L* Any suggestions on brands or qt sizes? I think the majority of items I plan to can I wouldn't need the pressure canner, but I am planning on broadening my horizons a bit too. I was checking on ebay. I am a bit skeptical...
