Over the past week I've pressure canned a total of 29 pints of meat: beef, pork, and venison. I had 2 pints not seal (because I forgot to wipe off the rims before putting on the lids and rings :-p). Both pints were pork, and they were so delicious! I was surprised at how much meat fit into a pint. 2 venison roasts filled 4 pints. I found 2.5-3 pork chops fit in a pint jar. I've also saved all the bones and made broth with the pressure cooker. Right now the broth is frozen, but I'd like to can some it. The following pictures show the
Tattler Reusable Canning Lids. They've been great so far! The last picture is of my monster pressure canner. I found it at
Emergency Essentials. It was the best price and was exactly what I was looking for. The qualities I cared about were that the canner had a weighted gauge (much easier to use), as well as one without a gasket (I didn't want to have to replace one over time). It is able to hold 19 pints and 14 quarts!

This monster is my pressure canner. It can hold 19 pints or 14 quarts.
I forgot to take a picture of it with the lid on :-( |
