RE: Pressuse Cooking Meat To Preserve It Without Using Electricity

in #homesteading8 years ago

Great subject. I grew up around a pressure cooker much like the one you show in your photo.
My mother used it to can vegetables and meat. Plus, because of the large family size. She used it to cook meals for us as well. It had a 21 quart capacity. It would hold 7 quart jars to can each time.
I don't remember any rack though.
It never did blow up. It always worked well.
Thank you for reminding me of my childhood eating.
There was always enough for all of us when the lid was lifted. Ha

This is a beautiful memory. Thanks for sharing it with us all Francis. :)
I think preserving food is a valuable skill to have, so I continue to work at learning how to safely do it.
Thanks for the fantastic comment.
