Re: [Homesteadingfamily] more canner questions.......

Hi
Just go by the weight the guage just tell you the pressure
to make sure the weight is working.
you have no way to vary the pressure except the weight

I've been using mine for 10 years with out a problem.

Subject: [Homesteadingfamily] more canner questions.......

I got the canner. IT"S HUGE!!! Booklet that came with it is very vague.
Disappointed in it actually.

I found this:

Can I use the poultry for canning turkey chili? My all American canner has
both a gauge and a weight. What do I do with that?

This is very confusing! I am so lost. Wanted to use it right away, but
scared!

The recipes seem to call for almost cooked food. Not already done food.
What is the difference? Can I make my food like normal (I know I can't make
gumbo w/roux only as a soup), then can according to basic meat recipe?

Can I can a whole container of roux? Roux is 50% oil and 50% flour. I
usually use olive oil as it gives a much deeper, richer flavor to the roux.
