Low Acid "Pressure" Home Preserving, or Canning
 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 specialised 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.
Further information can be found in good preserving books, like those sold on our site. You can also find lots of online resources, including the "USDA Complete Guide to Home Preserving" ... HERE.

This is NOT suitable for most pressure processing of low acid foods, as most directions call for 11 pounds, or 12 pounds at higher altitudes
However this is ideal to check that your gauge is still accurate ... the pressure regulator will rock, and release steam as the pressure reaches either 5, 10, or 15 pounds.
