The Complete Guide to Pressure Canning: Everything You Need to Know to Can Meats, Vegetables, Meals in a Jar, and More

I learned alot from reading the book. Have not had a chance to do any canning so far it has been too hot and with no major air conditioning in the house it would have been awful. Fall is coming and I found a really nice outdoor kitchen set up. Wish I had found that sooner. Looking forward to doing away with alot of processed foods now that I know exactly what I am doing.

If this subject is new to you and an activity you want to learn more about, this is one of several texts on the market that we found useful. One review under the category of the "worst" is overly harsh stating that she feels the book is dangerous, and shouldn't be on the market. For the money this text covers the basic introduction to practice of preserving food. It falls in line with other books on the subject. It's a good starting place at a reasonable price. You don't need to be a lettered health food science person to learn something from this book. There is nothing dangerous at all about the information in this publication. Just do your homework. We found the book very useful. Thumbs up.

Great book full of recipes that sound delicious and do actually taste good. Lots of good step by step directions as well.

With food shortages due to the pandemic, and administrations who have allowed Communist Countries to supply our foods in the US, it is past time to become more self sufficient. We live in a gated, guarded community, however, that does not prevent us from facing food shortages at our local Publix. We have begun a vegetable garden in our suburban backyard, we have a beautiful lemon tree, which I bought five years ago for my husband's birthday, it has given us a year round supply of delicious, fresh lemon juice, for every day cooking, to delicious desserts. Now, after reading this canning book, I will be putting jars of lemon juice away more efficiently than before, after all in Florida, hurricanes can force you to lose electricity, which can melt my frozen lemon juice! We are growing tomatoes, and butter beans this year, and I cannot wait to put up fresh tomatoes, some for adding to chili, and soups, some to make sauces, this book has brought back good memories of canning with my parents when I was young, we always had a garden, made our own jams, and never had to buy a can of whole tomatoes, or diced, or sauce. I am looking forward to trying different recipes, because I too like knowing everything in my food is natural, wholesome, taste good, and is good for you. I highly recommend! Thank you. carolintallahassee

Good for more strategic success.

Bought this as a gift.

Great canning book for any stage of canning you are in. It goes step by step. It has several different recipes or a bunch of stuff to can.

I am a third generation "water bather" but wanted to branch out and explore what pressure canning had to offer besides simply canning low-acid produce from the garden. I am SO thankful that Ms. Devereaux published this book. It is full of delicious (and I DO mean delicious!) recipes that are a meal in a jar, or at least the solid foundation to a whole meal without a lot of fuss. I have learned enough to feel confident in pressure canning meals now, and am exploring even further in my self-education. This book is frankly the only useful tome on pressure canning out there right now...and I have a pretty extensive canning library already. I have also purchased her other two books and will begin working from them shortly. To those who would criticize this book based on "unsafe practices", I would respectfully suggest that you educate yourself on the author's credentials when it comes to safe-canning. If you don't agree with something, simply skip over it. Or better yet, use your unbounded expertise on the subject to publish your own book, so those of us who wish to learn can benefit from your knowledge. The dearth of useful published information on proven recipes is the bane of canning in this era, as the pioneers are pretty much all long gone now. In-fighting is unfortunately distressingly prevalent in the canning community...it would be nice if everyone who considers themselves an SME contributed to the general body of knowledge, rather than just trying to point out why they are right and everyone else is wrong. That said, I will continue to work through the recipes in this book, and am very much enjoying the path of new learning it has set me on.

Kochbuch für Glas und Dose. Ja genau dafür ist es aber bitte nicht mit dem Weckautomat der Weck kann vieles aber er schaft keine Sterilisation! Man benötigt einen Autoklaven oder Schnellkochtopf sowie die richtige Anleitung und die erhält man mit diesen Buch. Früher bekamm man alle diese Infos auch bei uns leider ist die Kunst des eindosen oder english canning vergessen worden dank der Zahlreichen Supermärkte. Hier in dem Buch bekommt man Anregungen und Rezepte.
