Release Button to release the pressure. Once all the steam has escaped, carefully
remove the lid.
10. Using canning tongs, remove the hot jars and place them on a heat resistant
surface and allow to cool to room temperature.
11. When jars are thoroughly cool, remove the screw bands. The lids should be tightly
sealed to the jars and when pressed in the center they should not have any “give”
or springing motion. If they do, you cannot safely store this food for future use.
It must be reprocessed immediately or refrigerated and used within a few days.
12. Place the nished jars on shelves in a cool, clean, dry atmosphere. Properly
processed food will last for months and seasons. Jars, lids and screw bands are
reusable. Check all carefully for damage before reuse.

PRESSURE CANNING (Continued)
NOTES & TIPS:
• While the jars are cooling, you will hear the lids emit a faint clicking sound.
This sound indicates that the lids have properly sealed.
• You can check the seal on at lids by pressing down with your thumb after they have
cooled for one hour or more. If the lid remains stiff with no movement, then the lids
have properly sealed.
• If the lids have not properly sealed after 2 hours of cooling, the pressure canning
process did not work. Should this happen, refrigerate or freeze the ingredients
and use within the standard use-by dates.
• Always use supplies specically manufactured for the purpose of canning. For best
results, use mason jars that are no larger than 16 ounces. When pressure canning,
never stack the jars.
Use chart below. The canning function goes to a default of 20 minutes.
