I’m so glad you all are ok. What a scary day. I was taught to debubble ONLY with a plastic utensil or a wooden one, because a metal knife may cause a slight scoring of the glass causing it to fail.

I was just thinking the same thing. A metal instrument can cause nicks and scratches, is what they say. I use a bamboo chopstick. Your carrots looked so beautiful!!

I'm the wallflower of the Stiver family and enjoy watching'n reading everyone's comments needless to say when my notification popped up I thought Jen might be searching for the tip of a finger ... =I Only because Zack is known to be a bit clumsy, anywhooo! I'm happy to hear everything is okay. That was such a scary thing to happen to yall. Oh, and I just adore The Stivers & Family. =)

I’m in Australia, our gas stoves have an automatic shut-off if the flame 🔥 goes out so this can’t happen. So glad everyone is alright 💕

Wow…. Wish the American manufacturers would do the same! However that would mean that they would charge us twice the price for the stove 😂

So glad you had the fire department, and gas company clear your house. I am happy to hear Zack went to the ER, and got clear after testing, and oxygen.

Just ordered a CO detector for my kitchen for $10 for my kitchen from amazon. Thank you for reminding all of us about basic safety that we don't really think about. Love you guys!

Make sure you install the CO detector down lower , approx knee high! Many people place them high like a smoke detector but Carbon monoxide is a heavy gas where smoke rises the CO lingers low! By the time the higher units go off the poison is very high and you're likely unconscious if not gone!

So thankful you all are ok. Such a reminder how fleeting life can be. My husband is moving our CO2 detector into the kitchen after showing him this video. It’s currently around the corner in another room. Your sharing has all ready helped. Thank you.

Hi 👋 Mel , how are you doing?

Wow! What a day! God is with us always! So glad you shared your story for all of the ones with a gas stove to be aware of the "what ifs". The carrots look great! They will be so pretty in your pantry.

Carbon Monoxide can only build up if there is burning of fuel with poor exhaust. If a burner flame goes out carbon monoxide should not be able to be produced you would only have a natural gas build up which if there were other burners operating an explosion could result. If you were stricken with carbon monoxide it sounds like with all your burners operating there wasn't sufficient room exhaust to evacuate any burnt fumes because a burner without a flame will only produce gas buildup not carbon monoxide.

100% agree!!!!!

You'll love the fermented carrots the most of all ferments. I add onion powder & dill. So glad you're ok Zach!

I love how determined y'all are to still finish the canning!

Aaahhhhh, you're killing me with the butter knife on the jars.

Thank God Zach is ok. Appreciate the honesty and encouragement for us all to beware. Congrats on the beautiful canned carrots❤

Thank goodness you're ok ! That alarm is priceless.

What a scary day. We've always been lucky enough to smell gas, and we have noticed times when the smell was strong and noticed the flames being out. We do have carbon monoxide detectors, thank goodness. I am happy everyone is okay and no one was hurt for the long term. I love how you switched up what you were doing with the carrots, well...let's ferment them instead Great idea Thank you for sharing.🥕🥕🥕🥕

As a nurse I have long observed the shape of Zach's fingernails, be on the watch for COPD and other lung issues. I think that is why it affected you so harshly. Just a guess but I have noted the club shape of his fingernails. Not said in a mean way but hopefully in a helpful way. This gave me the chance to bring it up.

I wanted to say something many months ago. Clubbing is possible heart issues. I hope we are wrong.

I'm so glad you are all okay. On the canning side, I have been wanting to can carrots for a while now but have an issue with my dominant hand. Hopefully, I can get my hubby to pitch in! It's nice to see couples working together. Blessings to you all.

So glad y’all are ok!!! I refuse to have anything that requires gas, in my house! I’ve seen too many horror stories about gas stoves or gas water heaters, etc., blowing up! One was a little too close for comfort! A month after I moved out of a mobile home I was renting, the gas water heater blew up. Luckily, the people living there, got out in time!

Wow! So so glad you all are ok! The carrots are beautiful. Every time you open a jar, you will think about today...lol! I just canned 25 lbs and 90% of them were "cross-legged" and split. I didn't think I would ever get them cleaned.

So true..I have a 20 yr old volunteer fire fighter..give a big shout out for your volunteers

glad all is well. perhaps a wooden or plastic utensil would be better to de-bubble with.

Carrots are a prime candidate for dehydrating in standard dehydrators--don't need freeze-dryer. They are blanched 2-3 minutes then shocked in ice water then dehydrated. When rehydrated, they're like fresh carrots. Saves jars, saves space and no overcooked carrots. They can be dried sliced or diced.

This might be the 1st time I've ever commented on your channel. You guys are nuts. I'm glad Zach is OK

I don't know if this is true, but, I've learned not to use any metal utensils to debubble your canning items. There is a risk of the metal getting too hot and breaking or cracking the jar. I don't like the "Ball" debubbler it seems to crush the food and sometimes difficult to get in between the food, so I use a wooden chop stick.

God is good! Thankful that everyone is OK after such a scary experience. We lost a home due to a faulty valve on our heating unit. The valve didnt shut and the closet filled with fumes. When the ignition sparked to start heat again , boom! We werent at home. My husband was at work and I had taken my toddler to grocery store to pick up just one item! We rebuilt all electric but didnt like it. Our home we are living in now is back to gas cook stove and gas furnace. My husband and I also canned a 50 pound bag of carrots this winter. Whew!! But oh, the reward! Beautiful and oh so sweet! Not mushy at all. Used the same method that yall did. Love your channel! God bless and continue to watch over you.

I am so thankful that Zach is ok. I'm glad that you went to the ER. Every one who has gas in their home and also propane, a fireplace, space heaters that use kerosene or propane and wood burning stoves should have carbon monoxide detectors. I remember when a lady I worked with and her husband went to bed and they were found a few days later. They had passed away from carbon monoxide monoxide poisoning. It's a silent killer. Once again I'm so thankful that you are all ok. God bless you all.

Glad all is well. I can't believe you drive yourself, you could've passed out driving. My folks got overcome from a generator pumping their basement & they were told not to drive for at least 24 hrs!! You're guardian angel was on your shoulder for sure!! 💕🙏💕

Some people (zack) will do anything to get out of canning carrots lol. I’m glad you are ok. I did the carrots last month from azure.

Hi 👋 Debbie, how are you doing?

I am from Alabama. When I was young we had a gas heater that had a leak. We woke up Christmas morning nauseous and headaches. We opened our presents and got ready. My parents never thought twice about a leak. Later when we were with family this idea was mentioned. At that time the men of the family met the gas company and fixed the leak. It was very scary to find out we could have not woken up that morning. Thankful you caught the leak and everything is good now. Keep up the great work. I know it is hard work and very tiring but rewarding also. You are teaching the next generation how to survive.

Thank you Lord that Zack, Jen and the children are OK. I enjoy watching you guys and the children take care of the animals and plant the garden. I will be here to watch you continue your journey. God Bless.

Zack glad you are ok. Jen you are amazing. ❤️❤️

I love ferment aged carrots..add dill and garlic..red pepper flakes

Induction stove is THE "Way -To-Go" - especially if you are on-grid. BUT, keep that gas stove for a future summer/emergency kitchen. You may need new "magnetic cookware" for the induction stove, (Who doesn't love new cookware?!?)

I have cooked on a gas stove forever and never thought about it. I have had burners turned on but not lighted by accident and smelled the gas so I can understand how this can happen. Ordered a CO2 alarm today. I appreciate you all sharing and glad you are OK! God Bless.

Still praying for your complete recovery and the peace of the Lord! Thank you for sharing this as it really does make us more careful! Thankful that you had a good CO meter! God bless you all! 🙌🙏❤️🤗

Great job canning up all your produce. But Jenn take it from me use a chop stick or plastic debubbler . Never anything metal in your jars .

So glad you are OK and those carrots are so vibrant in color in the jars!

Glad you’re ok‼️🌁❄️🎏🪅😻

Also, you should have a CO2 alarm in the bedrooms. And check your smoke detector batteries every time you change your clocks for DST.

So glad all turned out well. So scary . So proud of all your canning always be safe. Your such wonderful friends 💕 in my book love all the learning of everything you do. Sending love and prayers 💞🙏. Catch you on the next visit.

A leaky refrigerator poisoned my dad and he had repeat symptoms for yeats afterward. (He didn't go to the doctor.) You were smart to go in.

Hi 👋 Marje, how are you doing?

So thankful you are all okay. Yesterday my mom got our natural gas fireplace fixed and when we switched it off the pilot is supposed to stay on. But there was a large flame. I turned the pilot off. Two reminders in less than 24 hours to get a carbon monoxide alarm , is not a coincidence 🙌🏻 🤔 Going to buy one tomorrow.

God Bless you Zach! Thank God you're doing well now. What a scare. Bless the family & critters.

Wow...what a day in the kitchen. I am so glad Zach is ok and the family. I hardly ever comment but yall are our favorite people on KZread. We had an anniversary on March 16th and hoped to come stay with yall but it didnt work out. Our kids are wanting to send us so we are throwing around dates. I know we will see yall soon. We can hardly wait to meet yall. Thanks for always keeping your videos real. We have so much to learn but we are working at it and watching everyone else. Trying to get a greenhouse up now. When I seen all those carrots I thought, My gosh, I couldnt get my carrots to grow over the Winter. My Winter gardening sucked. Cant wait to meet yall. We will book soon. :)

Oh since you have organic carrots wash them in a little vinegar water and then save the peels and dehydrate and powder them for muffins, pancakes and to add to soups,…..no waste

I’m so glad you’re ok! I love my gas stove but I’ve caught it partially turned on a couple of times due to activity in the kitchen and well I’m just getting old a little more forgetful… I’m moving to electric in the house when we’re done remodeling…however because I cannot see me putting a canner on the glass top without some major problems, I’m setting up a wood fired stove outside for my canning adventures🙌

Hay guys, so to here then! We shredded the carrots then dehydrated then, next then vacuumed the jar. This used it great. Bless you all!

So glad you are ok...Thank You for sharing this video...Much Love and Be Well💛💛

Fermented carrots are awesome! I love them! Great video and so glad Zach is ok!

Try adding a few garlic cloves to the fermented carrots. They are awesome!!!

Glad UR okay! I’m so impressed with all your canning works!

Dang, Glad everyone is doing well. Here in the Upper Midwest, CO2 detectors should be near kitchen and near bedrooms as well. That may be due to the furnaces, not sure. Just a question-Why wouldn’t you use a food processor or other device to cut up 50lbs of carrots🥕 and/or other vegetables? ((Hugs))

Glad you are okay Zach! And kudos to Jenn for staying so calm. Love you both!

Thank God you guys are all ok. God Bless you and your family

I have a gas stove too but I do my canning outside on a propane cooktop for just this reason. Not ideal to carry the prepped jars outside but I feel safer this way.

I’m happy to see you and the family are all okay🥰

When it rains it pours lol what a day! Glad you’re okay Zack!

OH GOODNESS !!! so glad it all turned out ok-in the olden days they used to have Canaries in bird cages down in the mines so they would be alerted to a Gas leak & get out. Thank goodness we have better alarm systems now. Carrots look great guys. Cheers Denise- Australia

I love carrots. I’m glad your ok. God Bless you all ☁️🔥💜🙏🏽

You two seem like a great couple! Glad you are ok and I love the faucet on the back of your stove.

Thanks for sharing the good advice and the difficult experience. Glad you're okay, now.

Praise God you all are ok. Thank you for sharing your canning adventure. Have a great weekend. 💜

I have had my gas stove leak gas because I was cleaning and bumped the burner control. Didn't know, all of a sudden I'm smelling gas. Hope you are all ok. Not funny when it happens, now looking back it is funny, lesson learned. Thankful you all are ok.

I'm so happy you put this out there to remind folks to be careful! Hope you're feeling fine now.

Fermented carrots are very good, I don't know if you guys like kimchi, but you can make it out of more than cabbage! Carrots, turnips, radishes, carrots, broccoli, etc.

Terra forming, container growing, Tiered growing, and hydroponics

So thankful you are all well! The carrots look great!

You were blessed today and everyday.

Oh my gosh..please take care of yourselves! So glad your ok. Take some extra time over the next few days to a week to get outside and just breathe in good air. Scary!

First off, glad you are fine! I used to make a "soup base" when everything was ripe in the summer. I would mix potatoes, carrots, celery, onion and seasoning and then cover them with tomato juice. Any mix of vegetables would work. You need to process them using the pressure canner, and the time/pounds pressure is determined by whichever vegetable requires the longest/highest amount. It's delicious and easy and a huge time saver! Maybe you might want to try a batch in the summer when the garden is in full swing!

Glad y'all are ok!! Thank God! Love y'all 💞

The law of averages got YA'S... But good lesson learned so that others don't get hurt or harmed. Thank you for sharing..
