Erik Shanton replied to Alice Bizri's discussion Is our pressure canner supposed to do this? in the group Canning
"It is a vigorous steam sound that I adjust my canner to. I would guess that it is better to have a steady pressure than fluctuating. That said,I remember my mom's pressure cooker would act the same way you describe, nothing,…"
Erik Shanton replied to Alice Bizri's discussion Is our pressure canner supposed to do this? in the group Canning
"Ah, sorry, I didn't quite know what you were talking about. I think we have the same canner. When I use it I adjust the heat until there is always a constant amount of steam escaping, so it sounds like PSssssPSssss. I would say to…"
Erik Shanton replied to Alice Bizri's discussion Is our pressure canner supposed to do this? in the group Canning
"What do you mean by boil out? I think I have the same canner. Is it regulated by weights on the exhaust? When I use mine, there is a bit of water that seeps out around the pressure lock, as well as condensation from the venting…"

Erik Shanton commented on Katie Quinn-Jacobs's event Team Tomato 2010
"I have Romaa food strainer and a pressure canner that holds 7 quart jars. Should I bring? Also have some more old school devices like a food mill and an old strainer that uses a wooden pestle. Can't wait!"

Erik Shanton replied to crowjoy's discussion stupid annoying mistake aka lessons learned in the group Veggie Gardens
"Yes we did. We wanted to fit the pie into a food saver bag to vacuum pack it. We thought it would fit better without a pie plate. We form and fill it in a glass plate, freeze it, pop it out (put plate in some warm water for a minute, and out it…"

Erik Shanton replied to Mary Jo Thurber's discussion Canning supplies in the group Canning
"I know you said you have tried locally, but did you perhaps try the new Maine Supply store? Something's making me think I saw funnels there."
