Pressure Canning Green Beans in the Presto Digital Canner

We tested the Presto Digital Canner using a scientific data logger to record the temperature of the green beans in the jars during processing. The goal was to see if this canner kept the food in the "kill zone" long enough to kill any botulism spores that might be present. The green beans were canned using the USDA pressure canning guidelines and we share the results of the test.

Presto should be paying you for all the detailed research you've done. Amazing.

[tonystreeter]

That was the best presentation I've ever seen in 20 years watching this stuff

Many thanks to you for showing this testing process. I trusted Presto to have done the proper testing and have LOVED my digital canner, but it's reassuring to actually see the proof. Presto would sell many more digital canners if they would just publish their numbers as you have done. Thanks again.

Your work is so important. Thank you for taking the time to run these tests!

Unlike many producers, she does not put adds or takes kickbacks for products so she can be neutral in her presentations. That device she uses to measure control is pricy! It’s time intensive and you can help here by Liking and Subcribing the videos !

Your video was so helpful. I had purchased the Presto canner and was not confident enough to use it for 2 years.
I got it out and watched your video multiple times and went for it.
And happy to say thats it wasn't t as difficult as I had imagined.
And now I'm pressure canning my green beans.
Thanks again for such a great video, was so helpful!!!

I got this canner and I absolutely LOVE IT!!! I tried the regular one on the stove and I couldn’t get the hang of it at all. I seen this one and the instructions were easy! My 1st project was canning hamburger meat and all of the jars sealed!😊 I can’t wait to try this too! Please keep doing these videos!💕💕💕💕

Thank you so much! I just received my new Presto electric canner. Looking so forward to more videos using the Presto.

First, you are amazing! Second, thank you for all this information. I just got my Presto and did raspberry jam today and did the water bath method in it. Worked wonderfully. This was a gift from my husband because I am really getting into this way of food preservation and wanted a pressure canner that was easy for me to work with. I love making my own vegetable broth and needed a way to can it effectively. I have been freezing it and I am running out of space in my freezer. Henceforth, I am going to pressure can it. Green beans are on my radar for sure! Again, thank you for doing this review. I love the science behind how things work.

Thank you Pam, it’s always so interesting when you do the testing on different foods.

[katew]

Thank you for doing this show. I have this canner and I love it, but I don't have the equipment to test it. You've given me more confidence in what I have canned!

[whommee]

All these successful tests, may just convince me to get one of these electric Presto canners. Thanks for the data and the video.

[robertabear]

Excellent demo and perfect timing, cause I'm canning my green beans tomorrow!

[elljayq]

I’ve been watching your videos for awhile and I’m coming out of the woodwork to say “I love your channel Pam”. 🌼

Valuable information here.
I like when you share the scientific data behind the process, it’s up my alley.
Thanks for all you do.

I've not been canning long and was afraid to do anything but water bath. I didn't know there was such a thing as an electric canner! Thank you for this video, I will be saving up to buy one now. I feel more confident about trying it now.

[mpedals]

i came to you, as i trust you completely, getting ready to use my new canner, i have been old school my whole life, thanks honey, going to do asparagus

[bettypierce]

Thank you for all of this wonderful research. I bought the Presto Digital canner because I am not physically able to handle a large canner. After I bought it, I started hearing it was not safe and I became afraid to use it. Thank you so much for providing scientific testing to the Presto.

[YTMe]

An awesome presentation! You've sold me on this technology. I struggled as a teenager and young adult with pressure cookers (back in the 60s/70s), so I haven't been motivated to repeat the experience with canners. But this device takes most of the work out of your hands. There's no whispered prayers that the thing won't blow up. Thank you.

[fourdayhomestead]

I'm so glad your doing these tests on this equipment. I've saved enough $$ to buy one myself for my birthday.

[sheriesinger]

You explained the data so well, I understood why we should not quick release. Thank you
