    I also do this with making taco beef. I brown it, and them put it. In a food processor to get a fine grind like Taco Bell…I add my seasoning and water let it cook down and can it that way. Just two of us so I can it in half pints approximately 1/2 lb per jar. I use it for tacos of course but also soups, Doritos salad…

    Thank you so much for this video! I just bought my very first pressure canner and I have been researching how to do this for my family. The only thing is I am American living in Germany. Not so easy to convert things sometimes. Especially the canning jar sizes. 😂😂 Your video has made me less afraid to get going for better food security. Liebe Gruß aus Der Eifel Jacqueline 😊❤️

    Needing an expert opinion…wanting to purchase my first pressure canner. Would you start out with a Presto canner or jump right in and purchase the All American? Is one easier for beginners than the other? Which is the better investment? Thanks!

    I love your content, I started my canning journey last spring. I have a question. When you can your already roasted chicken, does it cause the texture of the chicken to be “mushy”? I have seen it cold packed but that’s hard to do with anything but breast or thigh meat. I see whole chickens on sale frequently and would love to roast to can but worried about the ending texture.

    We have never canned hamburger. We just freeze it. Now roast canned is wonderful beyond words. I have wonderful memories of coming home in the winter and mom opening up a jar of beef or chicken to make homemade beef and noodles or chicken and noodles.
    If beef prices would come down I would definitely spend the time canning some. I tend to stock up on meat when it is on sale. I had gone a little overboard right before Covid. My siblings griped at me but, when Covid hit they changed their tune.

    I am unaware of where you live but I use an app on my cell phone that is called Flashfood and stores that participate in FlashFood put items on there including meat that is about to meet its best before date and you can buy it for substantially discounted prices. Its intent is to prevent decent food from going to the landfill. Check your area to see if you have stores that participate. FYI if you purchase today through the app then you pick up the food today, same day buy and pick up. Good Luck, I hope it is in your area. I have saved now over $1,500.00 on various items in the past year.

    I got a roaster because you keep using it a lot so I’m super excited to try it out! Thnx Racheal. Ps. I regret not getting the top your wearing I wasn’t sure how it would look but it looks amazing on you. I ended up getting the red hoodie which I love so next time I’ll get the one your wearing too.

    Hi Rachel, love your videos and thank you for helping us learn to preserve and encouraging us! Question, I have an All-American canner and have only used it twice because the second time I had a hard time getting the lid off. I searched the web and it said to use a screwdriver to pop the pressure to get it off and did so. But really really really did not like having to use a tool when it should come off easily. Do you have any secrets you can share? I have followed the directions in putting a bit of olive oil around the rim. TY!
