Why Can Foods?

Canning can be a safe and cost-effective way to preserve quality food at home. It is an important, safe method of food preservation if practiced properly. The canning process involves placing foods in jars and heating them to a temperature which destroys microorganisms that could be a health hazard or cause the food to spoil. Air is driven from the jar during heating, and as it cools, a vacuum seal is formed. The vacuum seal prevents air from getting back into the product, protecting it from microorganisms that could re-contaminate the food.

Before You Begin: Recommended tools for Canning

1.Wire Rack to safely maneuver the hot jars in and out of the pressure cooker.

2.Jar Lifter to safely grab the hot jars.

3.Ladle to scoop food into the jars.

4.Bubble freer to prevent bubbles of air

from remaining trapped in the jar and causing contamination.

5.Jar Wrench to close the lids safely.

6.Magnetic Lid wand to safely lift the sterilized lids out of the hot water in the pressure cooker

7.Wide mouth funnel to make sure all the food goes into the jar!

8.Glass jars: Use only standard home canning jars. Also commonly referred as "Mason Jars"

9.Canning Lids: These flat metal lids with sealing compound and a metal screw band are the most popular and recommended type of lid for home canned products.

NOTE: Fagor includes among its variety of accessories for pressure cookers a 7-piece Home Canning Kit with Bonus Cookbook that includes the 7 recommended tools mentioned above (except the glass jars and canning lids). The wire rack included in the kit holds four half-pint jars. The Fagor Home Canning kit is sold separately from the 10 qt Pressure Cooker/ Canner. For more information on this kit, please call 1- 800-207-0806 M-F 9-5 pm EST or visit the Accessories section on our website: www.fagoramerica.com.

1.Jar selection, Preparation and Use: Examine jars and discard those with nicks, cracks and rough edges. These defects will not permit an airtight seal on the jar, and food spoilage will result. All canning jars should be washed in soapy water, rinsed well and then kept hot before use. This could be done in the dishwasher or by placing the jars in the water that is heating in your canner. The jars need to be kept hot to prevent breakage when they’re filled with a hot product and placed in the canner for processing.

Jars processed in a boiling water bath canner for 10 minutes or more or in a pressure cooker will be sterilized during processing. Jars that will be filled with
