Is it time to phone a friend with your latest canning struggle? On this week’s episode of Perfectly Preserved, we help a dear listener with her problematic pressure canner.

While we wish it weren’t true, not all pressure canners are created equal. Jenny deep dives into the Barton pressure canner user manual and product specifications. You’ll hear where this particular pressure canner and its manufacturer fall short. Her discussion gives listeners a tale of caution when selecting new canning equipment and shares best practices for using other pressure canners. She shares advice on water measurement to avoid botulism, stove temperature, required steps, maintenance, and more.

You’re never alone in your canning journey! We love supporting our listeners, and a cooperative extension is always just a phone call away.
