FAQs
1) How do I decide between a pressure canner and a water bath canner?
Use a pressure canner for low-acid foods like vegetables, meats, poultry, beans, and soups; use a water bath canner for high-acid foods like most fruits, jams, jellies, pickles, and properly acidified tomatoes.
2) When is a steam canner a good choice?
A steam canner is best for high-acid recipes that are approved for steam canning and have processing times of 45 minutes or less, offering faster heat-up and less water use than water bath canning.
3) Why is using a quality canner so important?
Safe canning depends on reaching and holding the correct temperature/pressure for the required time; a well-made canner provides reliable performance, better heat distribution, and secure seals to help prevent spoilage and foodborne illness.
