Pressure Canning in an Instant Pot
For more great Instant Pot recipes, please visit InstantPotEasy.com
We’ve all gotten used to our electric pressure cookers. They’re convenient, fast, and we’ve gotten pretty comfortable with using them. But are they safe for …
Living in Greece means that we can't buy pressure canners, we have to order them from the States. In case we do, can we use the european type of jars (one lid, no rings)?
Good stuff Carolyn. 👍
Honestly, I never would've even thought to use an Instant Pot for anything but cooking.
I was a little worried about the title.. glad you put my fear to rest!
Hi. You might like to check out the Rose Red video about the Instant Pot Max. Very scientific. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w62NdXOKROg&ab_channel=RoseRedHomestead
Always great information! But the National Center for Home Preservation has approved the InstaPot Max for pressure canning. Red Rose Homestead actually went through some highly scientific home testing that proved her runs of pressure canning reached the correct temperature. Just some “food” for thought!!
Makes sense.😊
Presto has an electric pressure canner with the USDA approval. Something worth exploring
In the manual for my instant pot it says this as well. It says that it isn't a steady pressure and is not safe for pressure canning.
My mom always did it like you talk about with the pan
My question is can you just cook the food putting in a jar and put in a pressure cooker or is there a special way you cook your vegetables or whatever your canning and then pressure cooking
Great advice!
I DON'T OWN ONE AND IF I DID I WOULDN'T USE IT I WANT TO MAKE SURE MY FOOD IS SAFE BY CANNING IT PROPERLY.
For interesting Information; thorough, detailed, scientific info on pressure canning or not canning in the InstaPot and InstaPot Max, check out this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w62NdXOKROg. Also mentioned is the Nesco electric pressure canner.
Only thing I use my instant pot for when canning is jellys or jams…something like you said with a high acid..basically it's my water bath canner. This is also an American standard but what I've heard other countries allow anything in a instant pot type pressure cooker. (And I say pressure cooker because it's not a pressure canner)
Thanks for answering that question.
Electric Pressure cooker is different than electric pressure CANNER. The nesco is made for canning. There are many videos about them here on youtube. I'm buying the nesco canner because i don't want to stare at my manual pressure cooker for hours. With either a manual or electric pressure canner, you're trusting that the manufacturer got every single thing right. Even with that weighted gauge, do you really know it's exactly 10lbs of pressure? How many people actually get that dial reader checked every single year? Very few, i imagine. The nesco canner has been out for at least 4 years. Pretty sure the fda or usda would be screaming about people getting sick from these canned foods IF that were happening. The government loves nothing more than to tell people to not be self sufficient and to rely on grocery store cans. So, i personally feel the electric canners specifically made for canning(not just cooking) are safe, otherwise we would hear about it and the canner would be recalled or the company would go out of business due to litigation

Rose Red Homestead did the actual research using the correct temperature logger device which tracked the temperature throughout the process.
Thank You , good info
So. Should we be ignoring our blood pressure readings because they too are digital.
Very helpful tip. Really glad we watched this.
Not so fast on "not knowing what temperature your jars are coming to." Watch the Red Rose Homesteads video "Pressure Canning in the Instant Pot Max." She is a College Professor and her video will shock you on how she tests the Instant Pot Max.
Do you guys ONLY care about money? Or People too? Get off YOUTUBE! they are anti American, anti freedom and I’m sure anti Jesus. Please start uploading somewhere else. I am done with YouTube after I bed all my favorite people to get off here!
Is the Carey canner an exception to this?
Good video. There is only one safe electric canner and that is the Nesco Carey Smart Canner. It passes all the tests. None of the others come close. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH_C5745qwE&t=1475s
This was an extremly good REMINDER for those who are starting out in the canning field. I can't tell you how many in my area that I had to inform them about the right way to can. I will be forwarding this video to all that need it. Thank You!
I use a standard pressure canner but a lot have asked me about the presto electric canner. Presto claims theirs meets all USDA guidlines. In my opinion they are to small regardless if safe or not.
Our electric pressure canner has a canning button and a weighted gauge. What's the thought on that kind of machine?
So informative! Thnk u!

I'm higher altitude. I have to have a dial gauge to know I'm doing it safe. Good message.
Thank you for reminding people of this. I've seen a number of videos pop up lately that scare me.

What do you think about the reusable lids?
So…no.
