Wondering if that Instagram Reel or your grandma’s canning methods are safe? On this week’s episode of the Perfectly Preserved Podcast, we share the pitfalls of common canning mistakes and how you can fix them. We’ve come across these six mistakes in our work as Master Preservers, and want you to learn from them without your own first-hand experience!

We share what key processing elements are missing in the open kettle method, why processing in a dishwasher is a safety hazard, and why canning with your oven doesn’t get the job done. We also grade water bath canning low-acid foods and paraffin wax sealing.

Tread lightly with canning methods you come across on the internet or through acquaintances. Listen in to hear how to can safely and effectively!
