Before you are to begin at home, it is important to have the right equipment on hand. There are two types of homemade jam: boiling water canning and pressure canning. But apart from the type of pans for the canning industry uses, the rest of the supplies are identical.
Essential supplies for the Canning
The following are the supplies and equipment you will need to be successful in meat and produce at home:
Jam Glass Boiling Canner Pressure Canner or DutchOven Large boilers before, cookers Jar tongs Proper canning jars Canning Lid Wheel cover Wide-mouth funnel Food Mill Food strainer Sieve Spoons Heat resistant rubber spatulas Measuring cup Different size bowls Towels Bakers cooling rack Knife Cutting Boards Filtered water (preferably distilled) Food Waterproof labels and label marker
Use the right kind Canner
A boiling Canner for high-acid foods such as fruit, jam, tomatoes are used,Pickles, relishes, preserves and tomato, salsa and sauces. High acid foods can only be brought up to 212 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature of boiling water until the specific time in the recipe.
A high-pressure Canner used for low-acid foods such as vegetables, meat, cereals, pasta and low-acid sauces. These low-acid foods must be brought to a temperature of 240 to 250 degrees for the period specified in the recipe Fahrenheit.
Both types of cannedIt is important to carefully follow the instructions for the type of food in cans of food quality and safety guaranteed.
The importance of the right jars and lids
It is important to only buy glasses for the condition. Standard canning jars are tempered and mouth are specially threaded to the conservation at home. Do not reuse container, originally housed the food they buy is not this cured the canning process and can tear or burst during cooking or pressure canned, or evenduring treatment.
Use flat screw cap bands made specifically for the purchased brand jars. Do not reuse the flat cover part or recycled glass lids of food purchased, as they allow not be able to properly seal and bacteria and spoilage of canned goods.
Carefully inspect the jars for chips or cracks, particularly at the edges of the mouth and discard cracked or chipped glass. Also carefully inspect the lids to rust or damage and to dispose of cover cracksRubber seal, a non-existing rubber seal, rust, dents or bends. This cover will not seal properly, allowing food spoilage.
Other Canning Equipment Needed
If you buy a different canning equipment, are only products that are made for canning, especially when it comes to the pan inserts are used to using glasses upright and tongs to hold hot pots to remove from pans. Not with essential equipment can fall over container during processing and get water inthem. Not with the right lens forceps can cause burns or fallen and broken pots.
Other than buying replacement glass for broken or chipped glasses and purchase of new flat-top, the rest of the equipment a one-time purchase and is really an investment. Once purchased, it can be reused several times.
The right equipment before you is to start the home-made preserves really a must to save time and money.
