I was so freaking scared to pressure can that my new canner sat untouched for three years. I needed someone to walk my through step by step and you did that for me. You weren’t really in my kitchen but tonight you helped me pressure can my first thing ever, thank you! 💚

@tiffanie hutchins, I was just killing time at Wallyworld today, and walking down aisles, found ONE 16 qt Presto..and I scooped it up quick! The outside plastic wrap was still on. It's like they didn't even bother pulling it off knowing it wouldn't be on shelf for long lol. This is a hot commodity. I've been watching videos here on YT and how it's hard to find pressure canners, so I wasted no time. Now....I'm like, who is going to do this with me. I'm scurred LOL.

All these women on here that post videos about pressure cooking steps can learn a thing or two from this guy. They don’t even show you what to do. He explains it and also shows you how to use it.

WOW ... Great tutorial. I just turned 76 and entering my mid-life crisis. I cannon afford a Corvette or a Harley so I bought a 23 qt Presto Pressure Canner. My maiden voyage with this lovely ship will be next weekend. After watching thins video, I think I can do it. I have gotten everything I need together, except patients. I have never been able to learn that skill.

This is the best, easiest to follow, beginner instructional "How to run a canner" vid I have seen on YT. Love how you explain the controlled pressure up. And that you explained why it is so important. Well done sir.

I’ve watched several videos on pressure canning in an effort to become confident enough to actually try out my new 23 qt Presto. Of all those videos, this is by far the most clear and concise demonstration I’ve seen. Even the simple act of removing the knob from your stove to show the setting helped to make things more clear.

Here it is, 3 years after you posted this, and you are still helping novice canners gain confidence! Thank you so much for this extremely clear, thorough, and simple guide to the Presto canner. Your 'walking us through it in real time' guidance is just perfect for the first-timer. Thanks again!

Sir, I can't thank you enough for this video! Yesterday was my first experience with my new Presto 23 qt pressure canner and I really had no idea how long things actually took in real-time to get the canner up to pressure PROPERLY. I used to have a 16 qt and I always had a problem with keeping the dial where it should be for more than 1 minute. It caused me to give up canning until I decided to give it another try with a new 23 qt. While waiting for it to heat up I just happened upon your video and it helped me immensely. You walked me through the process of slowly letting the pressure climb and adjusting the heat properly. I never saw that before! By the time I was done canning my 7 quarts of Beef Stew yesterday with a minimum of fuss I was happy happy happy!!! My pressure never moved more than a 1/2 point the entire 90 minutes. And here is the best part - for the first time in my canning life - the water in my canner when I removed my jars was crystal clear. I nearly wept with joy! Thank you!!!

I have been canning for about 70 years on my own with a canner for about 60 and I will say you are the best I've seen on teaching an explanation of a pressure canner. 🙋🏼🙏✝️💕

I am from Germany and just imported a new presto pressure canner for myself. We do not have such things for personal use in Germany so I had to get one from the US. I searched a while for the best intro video on one of these things and yours is simply the best one - thank you so much for your introduction and very detailed video with all your tips and tricks. Super helpful. Looking forward to get that thing going now ;)

I swear this guys narration is perfect, its clear and easy to follow and understand!

This is by far the best tutorial on how to use a pressure canner! Luckily this is the exact model I bought. Every question I had was answered. You sir, are awesome! Thank you. I'm feeling much more confident now.

This guide is awesome. I have never pressure canned before today & with your help I have success. The pressure went up gradually and once it was at 11 it stayed there the entire time, I did regulate the heat just a little. I had this video on pause & referred to it every few minutes. It was like I had an experienced canner helping me.

Hands down the best video on the internet about this pressure cooker. Thank you so much!

This is the absolute best tutorial for canning. Because of this video I was able to start canning immediately. I bought my Presto Pressure Canner 2 weeks ago and started canning my chili and vegetable broth the next day. I wrote down your method. Thank you so much!!! Blessings ✨

This is an AMAZING video, thank you SO much you have no idea. Using a PC for the first few times is indeed a bit scary and this video gave me the confidence to know what I was doing.

This was a MUCH enter instruction than the canning class I took last year. You have given me great confidence to use my Presto! Thank you!!

Hands down absolute BEST video on pressure canning!! Ive had mine sitting for weeks watching hours of "beginner" videos and finally came across your video. Im literally finishing up my very first time pressure canning after coming across your video a couple hours ago and everything went EXACTLY as you stated. No fear, no worries and spot on fail proof instructions!

Thank you so much for this tutorial, this is my first time canning and with your help, I now can preserve my Wild caught Alaskan Salmon. I followed your guidance step by step on my glass top stove and the results were perfect. Thank you

Really appreciate this. Great job explaining from the perspective of someone who has never used a pressure cooker while imparting your experience without confusing us with too much information. Thank you!

Such a great video. Every other video on KZread is so confusing. You made it so simple and easy, thank you very much sir! Also I went to Culinary school recently and nobody explained it as good as you did.

Every time I can, not often, I watch this video. The first two times, I wrote down my stove settings and approx. Time to get there. The key is no big fluctuations, to prevent syphoning. This is the BEST video.

I had no instruction manual for my grandma's Maid of Honor 16qt cooker. I found this video and he is so thorough and has such a reassuring voice that is was able to get through my first time. Thank you so much!

Thank for this demonstration. I did two dry runs, that is water in the canner but no jars to familiarize myself with its operation. Super clear explanation!

Oh my goodness yes I am nervous as a cat on hot tin roof! Ha, loved when you said I would probably be nervous for the first time trying out my canner. That actually made me feel better. Your voice is very calming and you explained everything to the T!

I have watched, no joke, 5 videos about pressure canning, and they all left me with questions. This is the first video that leaves no rock unturned. Thank you so much for making this. I feel comfortable giving pressure canning a try now.

One of the best instructional videos for beginning canners I have heard... Thank you so very much Sir... You are most appreciated... You have a very relaxing voice and your voice would be great for broadcasting... or reading books... Xoxox...

This was incredibly helpful. I was legitimately nervous until I followed this tutorial. Precise and clear directions. Thank you so much.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Nice job. I canned 3.5 years ago with this canner and I've finally run out of the chicken I canned. Forgot the exact process and this video is a great refresher, covering all the important safety points. Much appreciated, from Australia.

I've been canning with this same canner for over 35 years and this is the best video on canning I've seen.

Long time, experienced canner here and I must say that this video answered a couple questions I've had for years that I've never been able to get a reliable answer to. Thankyou!

"It ain't fair, hut neither is the rest of life" For sure man!💜this video is great so far lol:)

Thank you very much for this video. I wanted to get into pressure canning and this video is going to be very helpful. * * UPDATE * * I followed all the steps and it worked brilliantly. I got to 11psi and stayed there and never had to move the stove dial to adjust. Canned 6 quarts of chicken broth and had no syphoning and all sealed. Thanks again for the video.

This is by far the best video on how pressure canners work and how to use them.

It has been awhile since I’ve used my pressure cooker. Although I have the book I found your video to be so much more valuable! Thank you for the detailed information step by step. This was assuring! You thoroughly answered all my questions, removed my doubts, and gave me the confidence to do this! Following your method I had no fluctuations with the pressure. Thank you!!

My mother pressure canned various foods including chicken legs, thighs with carrot, onion & potato. I truly and so badly want to learn this and I’m already freaking out before even purchasing one. This so far has given me the best knowledge & advice that beginners make. I’ll be sure to follow you for more tips. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

Thank you! I used this method this evening for two canning sessions and it works wonderfully! Every newbee should watch this tutorial. Brining the canner to pressure is what I was missing. A rather important step. God bless and you saved me! Otherwise, I was stressed about the fluctuations. Phew! Processed Italian Chili tonight.

@@maryhollinshead9790 Hello, about 45 minutes in between. Rinse out the canner and cool it down to get a fresh start. It really is all about taking the tortious approach and bring up the pressure slowly. Letting it cool slowly is good too. At least 10 minutes once you remove the weight, crack the lid a bit, and then just lift it a little bit. That gives it another good 30 minutes. Just bring them back to the room better. Fairly successful. I think there’s only been one that didn’t seal properly and I’ve been canning a solid amount of jars since July. When you’re chasing fluctuations in pressure it is exhausting and definitely causes problems, like siphoning. Good luck! I feel like I’ve been doing this for years! I have not water bath canned yet. I’m not a big jam or fruit person I can buy that stuff easily. I’m more of a protein and meal processing person. Just did three types of soups over the weekend!

Excellent instructions with no unnecessary chatter..I am new to canning and I live in Australia where very few people do any pressure canning so I have no one to learn from except for KZread. Your video has been the best that I have seen to learn, for using my new Presto 23. Thank you 😊
