wondering about pressure canner
    #9737861 - 02/04/09 10:36 PM (15 years, 1 month ago)

I would like to use the PF method and im thinking about purchasing a pressure canner to sterilize the jars. the guides are saying to use half-pint jars, so i was wondering how many half-pint jars can i sterilize at one time in a 23 quart pressure canner? OR if i shouldnt put as many jars as i can in at one time, how many jars should i put in each time? thanks!

u should put in as much as u can so long as the jars arent touching the water or the bottom of the PC. If your not careful they could break x_x

Not sure how many jars fit in to the 23 quart canner your looking at, the manufacturer should have it listed on their web site or on the box.

Nothing wrong with packing in as many as it will hold.

If your just going to do pf style for ever you dont need a pressure cooker..Go buy a canning pot At any big store..It costs about 10.00
I think I can fit 16 or 17 1/2 pint jars in it..

there is no problem with jars touching the water.  just let them cool down naturally and slowly.  you actually need some of the water to come up a little or you would run dry in an hour or so.

Horrible advice. They can touch the water. There is no need to worry about them breaking if they follow directions

The water does not need to come up and touch. Water touching the jars has nothing to do with the pot running dry. You can fill the pot with 3 inches of water and raise the jars up out of the water.

I highly recommend a vegetable steamer. One of those electric ones. You will not get water inside the jar and they work as good if not better than stockpots.

Never used one, don't know how well they work or what they cost. If you recommend one for the purpose of PF cakes, I won't dispute it.

Now it is better to only buy equipment once when viewing it form a cost perspective.

If georgeking thinks he may want to graduate from PF cake to grains, start using argar, needs to sterilize anything. A 23 quart PC would be a better investment, I have seen them for as low as 80 buck shipped from amazon. A steamer can never out perform a PC, even if you only used it to make PF cakes.

You can sterilize agar, rye berries, WBS, what ever with a PC but not with a veggie steamer.

:2cents:

If georgeking doesn't already own own a stock pot to steam PF cakes in then he needs to update his kitchen cookware.

a pc is better but some people do not want to fork out the cash for one. If someone is just growing pf cakes then the vegie steamer is your best bet. It will not splash water up into the jars.

it really depends on the brand...

but most will hold 19 or more, of the half pint jars.
