When canning green beans, is it ok to use a hot water bath canner?
Question:why or why not? or do i have to use a pressure canner?
Answers:
you have to use a pressure canner becuase of the low acidity of the food. High acidity foods like tomatoes you can just use a hot water.
that's the way most people do it. (the hot water way)
You can use a hot water bath canner or a pressure cooker.The important difference is that with the hot water cooker, the water must boil a minimum of 10 minutes before you use it. The jars must be sterile and the hot jars and subsequent vaccuum they create makes the jar seal once filled and cooling..
