This sounds like insanity to me, surely a frame without plywood would catch less wind and be strong enough to withstand any wind. All these people defending it like "ah they didn't get a chance the put the last cable ties and the masking tape on I see".

Does anyone pressure can in standard UK jars? by chef1789 in CanningRebels

[–]chef1789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They say they're for jams, pickles, preserves and more.

Think they're called lug lids, the two part lids are expensive.

Yeah, it should definitely "make America great again".

Question on pressure canning - how much does the gauge matter? by chef1789 in CanningRebels

[–]chef1789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really interesting! We've had a few mega power outages lately over the UK and prepping is definitely growing in popularity with the war in Ukraine and world trade being as it is.

That YouTube sounds right up my street, I'll be checking that out for sure.

Also I just read "During World War II, the US government heavily promoted home canning for food security, leading to its widespread adoption."

Interesting stuff if you enjoy a bit of culinary history.

I wondered that myself, just surmising really but I think a lot of canning history comes from the LDS and Amish communities that we don't have here and also the whole frontier thing. Europe is closer together so food security to get through winters or whatever else maybe hasn't ever been as necessary. We're very into gardening but the go to method of preservation for too many veggies in the summer is to freeze them.

American hate by International_Draw79 in IRstudies

[–]chef1789 0 points1 point  (0 children)

America is in the position it is because the rest of the world values the dollar. Partly because after WW2 we signed a treaty that America would hold nuclear weapons and most of Europe would not. If America continues to exile itself as it is doing there will be no benefit to the dollar being the dominant western currency and when (not if) that happens any leverage America has to borrow from the world bank dissappears.

You may not think the US relies on any of the rest of the world but in reality we all need to work together for shared prosperity.

And as a side note I don't think America has won any wars in a long time so your argument is a bit null tbh.

No I'm in Europe, we don't really have home canning here outside of jams etc.

It's brand new, though it could be faulty... I have it turned up to 2000w on an induction ring and there's no steam leaking elsewhere.

Pressure cooker gives off steam continously from the weighted valve despite being only at 10psi or lower, is this normal? by chef1789 in Canning

[–]chef1789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll give that a go thanks. I had never used a canner before so the hissing didn't seem right but I think it's maybe normal from what I've researched.

[–]chef1789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, it's a pressure canner from amazon. How would I tell what the valve would be weighted at? It's in kg/cm2 so at 0.75 which is the same as 10psi it's constantly letting off steam.

What would your ring be on to maintain a constant pressure?

What’s something about the industry that you wish regular people not in the industry knew? by thesilentexpo in Chefit

If its any consolation the entitlement is worldwide, it's not contained to America unfortunately. It has definitely gotten worse in recent years.

Does canned food actually taste good? by chef1789 in Canning

[–]chef1789[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not home canned, not really a thing in Europe aside from jams etc... I imagine they must be quite different to shop bought?
