Pressure canning food (sh.itjust.works)

So me and my dad were talking about pressure canning and how it's very uncommon. I've never talked to anyone irl that pressure cans, maybe some water bath canning but that's it. I wonder why it's so uncommon? You can get a pressure canner for less than 150$ and it's incredibly useful.

I mainly use it for stock/broth but you can use it for so many things, tomatoes, soups, chili, baked beans, stew, spaghetti sauce, etc.. Honestly, anyone who cooks whole chickens somewhat regularly should invest in a pressure canner. I cook two whole chickens at a time and use the carcass to make about 14 litres of stock. I also make beef, turkey, pork and smoked variations of these.

It's so much better than buying your stock at the store. I will admit that it is a lot of work, from start to finish it takes me about 3 days because I wet brine my chickens. But you could just buy the bones from your butcher which I have done. Just wondering if anyone else does this or reasons why you don't do it?

The best jams and pickles I have ever had have been out of someone’s garden.

yup. I have fond memories spending my summers with grandma and grandpa. she always maintained a garden... blackberries, strawberries, musk melons. Tomatoes (3 different kind, including cherry tomatoes for snacking- important lesson that,) green beans

When I say I pressure can in the electric... for the record there's exactly one mason jar in there... It's definitely not got the through-put of grandmas; but there's something about the canning and storing for a month that just makes the sauce that much more.

Also, pressure cooker risotto might be cheating, but if you can nail it, it's an easy risotto. (though I kinda like doing it the old way. it might take longer, but I enjoy the process.)
