[WWWhiteRevolution]

So, can you waterbath-can frozen foods like frozen patatoes and frozen vegetables?

[Glopdemon]

Holy crap, thank you for this video! Almost every canning recipe makes reference to making sure to scald your jars and lids but almost none of them tell you how that's done!

[AntPDC]

Thank you! Excellent, clear and concise.

"prepare your food EXACTLY as the recipe tells you..."

I laughed at that.

[kochiyose12]

can i do this for some main course food?

[laraineannebarker]

Thank you. Excellent! I'm a woman but I also like clean, simple, precise and quick. I can't stand loads of waffle and expect the presenter to get on with the demonstration straight away.

@laraineannebarker Mmmm. . .waffles!

how do i can salt,rice and beans? do i need preasure for them or do i just put them in and hand tighten the jar? if so how long will they last?

[JubeeBijou]

@1kingconan I highly recommend you get the Ball Blue Book Guide to Preserving (the best book for beginners, in my opinion). You need to understand the difference between high and low acid foods and what type of canning method to use - water bath or pressure canner. It's a matter of food safety. :) If you use the wrong method, you could become very sick.

Thank you for doing this video... Very helpful.

[depotdevoid]

That was very helpful, thank you.

Anyone else notice they used the jar lifter upside down?

[nuclearthreat545]

@nolongerconforming no...thats the right way

[kitcheekoo]

@nolongerconforming

They're using it the right way. The rubber part of the lifter grips the jar tightly and prevents slipping. Obviously you've been using yours upside down, lol!

[JubeeBijou]

@nolongerconforming

No, she was not using it upside down. The curved part of the lifter is supposed to hug the top of the jars. She is using the jar lifter correctly. I just watched a video of another lady canning and she described how (which side to hold) to use the jar lifter. ;)

I agree with braddy33..I personally dislike the videos that tend to drag on with music in the background that is too loud and drowning out the narrator. Great video!

[braddy33]

Well done, as a man I like it clean, simple precise and quick and this video delivered it perfectly. Thanks

[greyhoundfriend123]

@braddy33 As a woman I prefer it that way as well ;)
