PRESSURE CANNING SOMETHING I’VE NEVER CANNED BEFORE WITH USED LIDS WILL IT WORK. Thank you for joining me today, Many Blessings to all …
I need some help. I have a question I am in Texas and I have a little outdoor shed that I keep some supplies in. I have had vacuum sealed jars with rice, beans, pasta, lentils, dry milk, oats, potatoe flakes, ect. Also have had tomato aluminum cans of sauce, and jars of salsa, applesauce, corn and green beans. During the “snow storm” it got down to single digits I had it insulated with spray foam but no heat only an air conditioner (it wasn’t running). Is my food ruined? I wasn’t able to go out there and move it all because it’s not at my house and it’s an hr away and I was sick and with health issues. When I went to check on it. It was cold inside and nothing seemed to have cracked or seeped out. Will there be moisture that formed and ruined sealed jars (from the store) and aluminum cans of veggies and vacuum canned food. I didn’t think of it until now. I’m worried. Will I get sick now?
HI AP THOSE ARE INDIVIDUAL SERVINGS
I use lipton onion soup mix when I do mine
Your beef stew looked delicious! I am going to try your recipe.
Damn it! I wasn't hungry. Watched this video, could now eat the scabby end of a dead donkey!
Great work (as always) AP. And well done you for the charity work. Will watch the blasting adverts from now on. Peace and love from the UK.
Interesting, but why would you not cook up a big batch of beef stew and then can it, not sure I liked it, more like stuff in a jar than beef stew which requires the slow cooking to develop flavors. Personally I cut up the meat in smaller pieces.
Thank you sir looking forward to your next experiment
Mrs T in the UK.. I regularly reuse my lids. I have lids that have been used 4+ times. Lids are so expensive here..*kt*x
PS…love oxtail too! Meat is so nice canned! Yum. Winner!
Good job in collecting money to help Texans! Have canned beef stew in quarts. As far as bones go…recommended is to avoid canning thick bones…even the chicken legs…knuckle should be cut off. Oxtail bone very thick…would only do it to eat right away. Stew looked great, oxtaill cooked well.
The Kerr lids that are out in the stores, are very thin in the rubber seal. Compare these to what you currently have.
Makes you wonder, with the phrase… seals – UP TO- 18 months. – Up to – wording can mean less than 18 months.
The oxtail looks great..will def try that!
That stew looks so good.
I love your demos videos on canning. Thank you.
Thanks for all the work and advise on the Texas relief work.
I was wondering about canning oxtails! Funny to know you were thinking the same thing. Fantastic video coverage of both canning! ❤️ Thank you. ~~Sharon.
Don't waste your money. Were allright in Texas, but thanks for the thoughts. But don't waste your money. Take care of your communities and families.
Thank you for this! I am going to try my hand at the Stew. BTW, I love your placemats!
Those meals look delicious! I canned some beef stew, but have not tried it yet. We are expecting more cold nights here (Mississippi) this week, so I may open a jar! I also save my used lids, but have used them to vacuum seal jars. I may give them a try the next time I pressure can something. Thanks for taking us along on this experiment!
Last year, after watching some videos from Living Traditions Homestead, I bought a tool from Ebay called a Pry-A-Lid. It works great at removing the lids without damaging them.
I've never had ox tail but it looks great. Now I'm not opposed to eating most foods it has just never been available to me.
Do you know why oxtail tastes so exceptional???
It's the cartilage between each bone joint that melts through and enhances the flavor like bone marrow broth.
Looks good man. We can beef stew often. Actually since we make daily meals for our employees we make a monster size batch, get maybe 2 meals out of it and can the leftovers. So we can the stew cooked.
Are the oxtails (never even seen) shaped so that you can cut them to out more in the jars?
Interesting. I thought at first you were going to cook up a huge pot of stew first and then can the finished product. So these are like little kits. Does it cook completely in the boiling water bath? Then ready to eat when you finally open the jar? Just make sure all jars and lids are sterilized and hands very clean. Great job. You communicate your joy so beautifully!
I have reused lids a few times but never felt the need to try them a third time. I put a 2 on them so I can keep up with them. In a emergency case I would try them as many times the rubber looked new and worked otherwise they go into a bag for vacuum sealing or other regular uses. If bent I just toss. I can’t find ball lids but find many Kerr lids for now. I had quite a few already stocked up on that I’m holding onto for now. I might just have to try oxtail, I have always felt I didn’t want to eat anything’s tail🤷🏻♀️
I learned from my grandmother and mother: DO NOT EVER REUSE LIDS FOR CANNING!! Proceed at your own risk.
If you take a rag with alcohol on it you can clean the old dates written on the lids. Looks so delish…….I love canned stew meat. I have never had oxtail, I may just have to try it.
I have been using lids over for years
Alaska your honor and integrity should be contagious
How do you take the lids off? Mine are destroyed when I open them
have reused lids for over 10 years. i also reuse store bought jars and lids. they also work great. heat the seals in boiling water and they are almost like new…. blessings
Additional side note: Barley pairs great with Beef and OX Tail, heck try wheat berries
You had me at OX Tails!!!!
Ive always been taught and read not to use thickeners during canning. I know that gravy has corn starch or tapioca starch and im interested to see how it holds up over time. The lids don't shock me at all, a lot of people have been reusing them for a long time. You cant get as many uses out of the new ones as we used to tho, everything is cheaper made now.
How delightful. Thank you for the update on the helping Texas. You are amazing. Great canning video.
Thank you AP!!!!
I have done canned oxtails and it comes out amazing😁
TIP: Brown your oxtail first & add broth brother 😄 Great vid!
I use my lids over as long as they aren’t damaged.
I just EXPERIMENTED with corn beef and that meat shrinks up a lot. But it looks wonderful.. I also made unstuffed green pepers meat ball's.. I baked them first to brown them then canned them… They also look beautiful.. And a pound of cooked bacon can fit into a pint jar for canning another one that came out great… Thank you AP.. IF IS WASN'T for you, I found the confidence to do my own canning of my meats. Great way to store the meat I CAN'T fit into my little freezer. Great when I get Meats that are on sale… Thank you..
👍🏼
You made me hungry lol
The trick to reuse the lids, is to re-tighten them as soon as you open the canner. Some will be loose, but tighten them with a dry towel so not to burn your hands.
