    Pressure canner question

    I would still eat them .. as long as you canned them at the correct PSI for the amount of time it said to..  the reason I say this is because they tell you to let the jars sit in the steam till it cools so the jars will not get to cold too fast and break ..

    Where to find cuts?

    Where to find cuts?

Buying in bulk will save you trips later on .. I know we always get the free passes to BJ's and Sams .. give...

    Why should I can?

    WOW that's one serious pressure canner you have there .. is it calibrated ? call the company before you use it .. you can take it to the county extention in some areas .. if they don't offer the service they sometimes will tell you how to do it yourself .. Good luck
