What a high-pressure subject this is… 🤪

Hi Achternaam,

Through the years, I’ve heard from so many new home food preservers who have a pressure canner sitting on the shelf at home, but they’re scared to even open the box.

“I don’t even know where to start!”

“What if it explodes?”

“What if I use it wrong and poison my family with canned food?”

It’s a little overwhelming sometimes, isn’t it?

But I’m here to tell you that it doesn’t have to be! While pressure canning is a little more intensive than water bath canning, it isn’t difficult once you learn a few basics. 😄 If you really want to learn how to use your pressure canner, you should read my Pressure Canning article here.

Of course, maybe you don’t have a pressure canner yet and you’re wondering what type to get in the first place. Well, there are two main types on the market: weighted gauge and dial gauge. Here’s a comparison.

And guess what? There’s actually such a thing as an electric pressure canner too, which is a relatively new invention. But is it safe and approved? Read more about electric pressure canners here.

Happy canning,
Sharon
