2 This is a Listed appliance. The follo wing Important Safeguards are recommended by most portable appliance manufacturers. IMPOR T ANT SAFEGU ARDS T o reduce the risk of personal injury or property damage, basic safety precautions should always be follo wed, including the following: 1.
3 1. PRESSURE DIAL GA UGE The pressure dial gauge registers pres - sure in both pounds (outer scale) and metric measure (inner scale). The pointer mov es around the dial indicating the pressure within the unit. Pressure can be controlled and maintained by adjusting heat setting.
4 be foR e us in G C a n neR foR THe fi R s T TiMe 1. Remove the air vent/cover lock from the canner cover. The cup portion of the air vent/cover lock, on the inside of the cover, unscrews from the pin (Fig. A). 2. Remove the sealing ring by simply pulling it from the sealing ring groove.
5 Use the canner on a le vel b urner and range only . Use on a tilted b urner or range may interfere with the operation of the pressure regulator . Caution: Do not use pressure canner on an outdoor LP gas b urner or gas range o ver 12,000 BTU’ s.
6 1. The first step in pressure canning is to assemble the can- ning equipment. Be sure your canner is thoroughly cleaned and working properly. Before each canning season, check the dial gaug e for accuracy (see page 8, step 11). Also check the sealing ring, overpressure plug, and the rubber gasket of the air vent/cover lock.
7 C aR e a n d M ainT enan Ce 1. The outside surface may be kept bright and shiny by cleaning with a good silver polish or simply by washing with soap and water. Iron and various minerals in water and foods may darken the inside of the canner but this discoloration will in no way affect food cooked.
8 5. Pouring water into a dry overheated canner may crack the metal. 6. Do not strike the rim of the canner body with any cooking utensil as this will cause nicks which may damage the rim and allow steam to escape. 7. When your pressure canner is not in use, invert the cover on the canner body and store in a dry place.
9 The amount of sugar desirable to use in preparing syrups will depend upon the tartness of the fruit and on family preference. It should be remembered that fruit, when heated, releases some of its juices which will dilute the syrup in proportion to the juiciness of the fruit.
10 APRICO TS W ash well-ripened, firm apricots. If peeled apricots are desired, dip 1 minute in boiling water , then in cold w ater , and peel. Cut apricots in halves and remov e pits. Place apricots in an ascorbic acid solution (1 teaspoon ascorbic acid to 1 gallon water) to pre vent darkening during preparation.
11 RHUB ARB W ash young, tender rhubarb . Remove ends and cut into ½-inch pieces. Add ½ cup sugar to each quart of rhubarb . Let stand until juice appears. Heat rhubarb slo wly to boiling. Pack hot rhubarb in clean, hot Mason jars, leaving ½-inch headspace.
12 PRe ss uRe C ann inG Ve GeT a bles Pressur e canning is the only safe method for canning v egetables. Y oung, tender , fresh v egetables, slightly immature, are better for canning than those which are ov erripe.
13 BEANS—GREEN,W AX, IT ALIAN W ash young, tender beans thoroughly . Remo ve stem and blossom ends or any “strings”. Lea ve whole or cut into 1-inch pieces. Raw P ack: Pack ra w beans tightly in clean, hot Mason jars leaving 1-inch head space. Hot Pack: Cover beans with boiling water and boil 5 minutes.
14 MUSHR OOMS T rim stems and discolored parts of mushrooms. Soak mushrooms in cold water for 10 minutes to remove soil. W ash in clean water . Lea ve small mushrooms whole; cut lar ger ones in halv es or quarters. Cov er with water in a saucepan and boil 5 minutes.
15 PUMPKIN AND WINTER SQU ASH W ash and remo ve seeds. Cut into 1-inch slices and peel. Cut flesh into 1-inch cubes. Boil 2 minutes in water . CA UTION: Do not mash or puree. Pack hot squash cubes loosely in clean, hot Mason jars, leaving 1-inch headspace.
16 GR OUND MEA T Bear , Beef, Pork, Lamb, V eal, and V enison With venison add one part high quality pork fat to three or four parts venison before grinding. Use freshly made sausage, seasoned with salt and cayenne pepper (sage may cause a bitter off-flavor).
17 PRe ss uRe C ann inG fis H a nd s e afood Pressur e canning is the only safe method for canning fish and seaf ood. Only fresh fish should be canned and these should be bled and thoroughly cleaned of all viscera and membranes when caught, or as soon as possible.
18 PRe ss uRe C ann inG s ouPs Pressur e canning is the only safe method for canning soups. Soup or soup stock is quickly and easily canned. Soup should alw ays be cooked ready for serving, then poured into clean, hot Mason jars, lea ving 1-inch headspace.
19 Two-piece vacuum caps seal by the cooling of the contents of the jar, not through pressure of the screw band on the lid. Therefore, although the screw band is firmly tight, the jar is not sealed until cooled. During processing, the flexible metal lid permits air to be exhausted from the jar.
20 CANNING RECIPES: BOILING W A TER METHOD The f ollowing recipes ar e safely canned by the boiling water method. Do not pressur e can these r ecipes because the food quality would be unacceptable.
21 ZESTY SALSA 10 cups chopped, seeded, 2½ cups chopped and seeded hot peeled, cored tomatoes peppers (about 1 pound) (about 6 pounds) 1¼ cups cider vinegar 5 cups chopped and seeded long 3 cloves g.
22 3. IMPOR T ANT : Look through the vent pipe to make certain that it is clear before closing the cov er . See safety information on page 23. 4. Place cov er on canner , aligning the V mark on the co ver with the V mark on the body handle and lock securely by turning in the direction indicated to close (clockwise).
23 3. Always look through the vent pipe before using the canner to make sure it is clear. — If the vent pipe is blocked, it cannot func- tion as it should and thus cannot relieve excess pressure. Pressure may then build to unsafe levels. To clean the vent pipe, draw a pipe cleaner or small brush through the opening, as shown on page 4.
