This is the specialised equipment needed for
"pressure canning", as you can see it's an oversized pressure cooker, big enough to hold about 7 big jars.
Low acid foods require processing at a temperature of 116 degrees centigrade
for safe preserving to avoid the potentially fatal poisoning by botulism.
You do need a bit of specilaized equipment to achieve these temperatures,
but the process is simple. You can even re-use the jars. All you need is a recipe, and for safety's sake, new lids and a "pressure canner".
We recommend that even if you are just curious about "pressure
preserving" that you download the Presto Manual. This publication is a lot more
than just an ordinary manual, it contains preserving safety information, and many recipes.
Pressure canning is the only method recommended safe by the U.S.D.A., and many other organisations, for low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats and fish.
