    Today I learned that people do canning at home without a proper pressure cooker

      People have been doing hot water bath canning at home for well over a century. It works great for acidic foods like tomatoes or pickled vegetables. It’s completely safe if you follow the USDA Guide to Home Canning.

        Water bath canning is so much fun! It names the foods I like, either sugar filled or vinegar filled!

        That’s true, I love taking a hot water bath, and it’s been completely safe so far

          Then you are doing it wrong! Follow the guidance, get that water to 100c, or someone eating you will get a food poisoning!
