I'm old school in that I still wash and sterilize my jars before using them. Current recommendations state that if processing for over 10 minutes, sterilizing jars is not necessary but I believe it is. The newer two-piece snap lids no longer need to be boiled, only heated. Pouring boiling water over them solves that problem without having to use another burner. I also use the electric tea kettle for small batch blanching when canning and dehydrating foods.Garden Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07560748179792613782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27248498.post-90733009284143084732011-06-13T12:14:20.174-04:002011-06-13T12:14:20.174-04:00Thanks for this post, GG!
If you don't mind, ...Thanks for this post, GG!<br /><br />If you don't mind, could you do a post on how your electric tea kettle helps during canning? I have a stove top tea kettle that I really need to replace, as I think it has started to leak just a bit. <br />But mostly, since I will be learning to can, I want to know about anything that will help me do it. :)<br /><br /><br />And I keep thinking I really need to get a food sealer machine.<br /><br />Thanks again! :)LindaGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203719919661519350noreply@blogger.com
