    Momof23goats, I was just getting ready to print out the pdf file you referenced above when I noticed that they indicate the boiling point of water (at sea level) is 220 deg. F! I thought it might be a typo, but that figure is mentioned twice....

    I'm not sure what to make of that - not only that they didn't know the correct temperature, but that a proof-reader didn't catch it (they teach that in elementary school, don't they???)

    Makes me wonder what other errors might be lurking therein. I didn't see any other problems with a cursory scan of the document, but then I'm not nearly as experienced as many here. Anyone else see any other problems?

    Default pressure cooker vs. water bath

    Hi TOL-ies,

    This is my first post ever (on any message board), so if i'm not doing something right, please call me on it.

    i'm wondering if any of you can shed some light on advantages (if there any) to canning with a pressure cooker. my mom taught me how to can by way of water bathing the jars after filling. many of the recipeis i see give instructions using a pressure cooker.

    any advise would be very much appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Bump - I will say I know some very seasoned canners that have had issue with some of the techniques on Canning USA's site. So if in doubt...

    What is the best book on canning? I'm looking to buy one for my library, I'd appreciate opinions on this. Thanks.

    Dutchman's

    Dutchman's - they don't have a website or a catalog you have to call, they are located in Cantel Iowa.

    These are commerical canning lids made Ball they don't have a logo on the lid. The gum area is wider AND thicker. These are the lids that the Amish and Mennonite use.
    345 come in a sleeve for $26.95
    288 per sleeve of largemouth lids for $29.95 plus shipping and tax.

    Default Another Site

    http://extension.missouri.edu/explore/hesguide/

    This site has a wealth of information including how to make cottage cheese, yogurt, "Missouri Mix" which is a Bisquik type mix. It also has recipes.
    I clicked on publications, then Human Environmental Services, then Food, Nutrition and Fitness. Most appear to be free, there are a few that charge a small fee (recipes for feeding a crowd).
    Under Agriculture the topics range from animal husbandry to gardening. The gardening is broken down for flowers and houseplants, fruits and vegetables.
    I appreciate how willing everyone has been to share information.
    Also, abebooks.com had several books on canning and food preservation today. I ordered one.
