Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hahaha. Katie I was terrified of my pressure cooker the first time I used ir and now I love it. I'm pretty fearless and everyone has be wanting to call in sick and stay home and can. My boss isn't in the group is he? LOL.

It will taste good and you know it is nutritious and top quality. It isn't hard. I taught myself by just reading the book. If I can do it, anyone can. You just have to get over your worry about " all that work " cause it really isn't, your chances of failure cause you probably wont, and any nagging fear of a pressure cooker. Those horror tales of pressure cookers are from 50 years ago. Back them the gages weren't accurate and the vents stuck. As long as you stay in the kitchen when you are doing it and don't get engrossed in a book or something, you shouldn't have any trouble at all. Of course, if you are using a 50 year old pressure cooker, it is OK to worry about that.

Put your jars in a 9.13 pan or on a cookie sheet - open end up, and place them in a pre-heated 250 degree oven for 5-10 minutes.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Katy, I think that is why I stay away from pressure cookers. I remember being terrified when my mother used hers. Think I'll pass on that one. Sue ---- Katie M 9/5/2007 9:24:06 PM Re: sterilizing jars You will feel wonderfully proud when you see you canned produce.
