Noreen -- kinda surprised to see you mixing pints and quarts in the small processing batch. I've always read / heard that was a no no and never dared try it. Of course, my canner is a smaller one, so usually have to do several batches anyway. I envy your huge canner!
@snaps81625 Not Noreen, but another canner: Actually, mixing of jar sizes is not recommended. In most recipes, pints are processed for 75 minutes, quarts for 90, so there is a difference in the canning process with different sized jars. I was kinda surprised to see Noreen doing this, but hey, her family is obviously still alive and none the worse for it. ; )
@angelovestea Not Noreen, but if I may: Since there's meat in this recipe, the safest thing to do is to pressure can it. Now, I know of several Grandmothers of friends who waterbathed EVERYTHING, but they had to do it for so long (hours), I'm sure their canned goods were mush. Anyway, anything with meat in it should be pressure canned as there are higher temps achieved during this process than with waterbath canning -- the better to kill the possible bugs (botulism).
Thanks for sharing! It's amazing how many people are afraid of pressure cookers and pressure canners. I use my pressure cooker every day, growing up my Mom and I canned all summer.
I watched Rick's chili video again, and it was just as great to watch as it was when I saw it the first time. Wow that was a big pot you used this time. I gotta get me one of those. I have a huge familly and can really use it. Thanks again.
Hi Noreen. I was wondering, ive notice u didnt use the typical (boring) recipe from ballbook canning. Is it ok to use any homemade recipe for chili? Within reason of course. I wouldnt use any flour or anything like that in the recipe, but it would be nice to use my homemade recipe.
I knew you were canning lol so glad you didn't leave us out. So question which all american caner is it and what kind of clearance do you nee? Linda:)
@255sage I would never lose an opportunity to show how to can something. I think people need all the ideas they can get! As far as the cooker goes, this is actually a medium one! 30 quart total capacity! Its Huge. You can actually use it as a cooker or a canner! It holds 19 pints or 14 quarts. I was afraid it wouldn't fit between my stove and my hood, but it does with a bout 6 inches left to spare. It should fit on your stove no problem! Got mine on Ebay. Expensive. Noreen : )
@255sage The canner is an All American Pressure Canner/Cooker Model Number 930. Retails on their website for $293.99. Expensive but worth every penny! I couldn't do without it. No gasket! Simple to use and its a workhorse. You need your hubby around though to help with it sometimes. I always put it on the stove before I fill it and wait till it is totally cooled to clean it. Cleans up great!. I did have to replace my handle, but the new one is better!
You don't vent your pressure cooker? I thought you had to vent to keep from having liquids escape your jars. If this worked for you, that is a big time saver, thanks
@sleepyhines I did vent my cooker. I mentioned that I allowed it to come up to steam and vent for 10 minutes before placing the weight on the pot. You always have to vent the pressure canner or you run the risk of your jars not sealing. Always vent. Sorry if I made that unclear in the video. Thanks for commenting. Noreen : )

Why simmer your rings and lids when they are going into the canner anyway? BTW you have the same canner I do.

@MsAnna4040 If using a pressure canner and (as you mentioned) not adding any grain or dairy products, you should be fine using your own recipe.

Same thing with the bottom rack. I've been putting them in "rim down." Doesn't seen to matter. I've been canning since July 2011.
