Yes, manual does speak of canning on it, though doesn't specify WB or PC, though the wording makes me think waterbath. I agree, I would think a full WB canner would be much heavier than a PC. Although my Presto is tall enough to double stack a load of pints with room to spare but that would add...

Several years ago before I started pressure canning I did have a glass top stove and used an induction hot plate for canning that come to find out worked great with the enamelware canner. But the hot plate finally gave out and any stove I've had since the previous glass top has always been a...

I do have a Coleman camp stove packed away somewhere, but canning outside isn't something I'd want to rely on, given our weather. Summer might be fine, but the rest of the year can get nasty and I do can year round, whenever I get enough food or gumption to do it so it would have to be an...

Here everything gets canned, dehydrated or in the freezer. Get a dehydrator, it may take longer to get dry in a humid climate, but once it's dry quickly get it into a container of sorts......ziploc or jar or whatever that is tight fitting to keep moisture out. As long as it's kept sealed or...

I've been having some issues with my current electric coil stove for awhile now so I've finally decided to have it replaced. Since #3 works with appliance installation, his shop had a glass top available. It is said not to use a glass top for canning, but I've also heard many who do, but with my...

I went thru this after hubs was diagnosed with cancer. We were both declared disabled (for different reasons of course) and 2 years later automatically rolled over to Medicare. Shopped around for supplement insurance policies and ended up with United Healthcare. I am now paying $47.50, though I...

Ooops, 😂 Then I am even more glad they and you are safe because of your actions and quick thinking

. Jacks are fearless that's for sure and their hunting drive is phenomenal, to the point of obsessive Sorry about your dogs. I would still be angry about it as well. People like that shouldn't be allowed to own animals

Milestone birthday here today too.........youngest son turns 21. He has to work today and tomorrow too, so nothing too crazy. He already had his 'crazy' when #2 turned 21 a couple years ago and was sick for three days after. His own fault since he didn't listen to my warnings. Anyway, tonight...

As for the crockpot......check thrift stores. Usually they have a place where you can plug one in to test it and are usually pretty cheap. OR if you have a pot or skillet with a good fitting lid, you can do alot on the stovetop too. Italian Chicken & pasta Large pieces of chicken, with or...

You can do the same with some shredded zucchini, though I've not tried with the stove top. Just mix the shredded zucchini with some beaten eggs, a little flour to help hold it together, parmesan cheese, salt & pepper Just guessing the amounts but...... 2 cups shredded zucchini 3 or 4 eggs...

We are supposed to get a new pup in a few weeks. Wasn't exactly in the plans, but kinda dropped in our laps. My sons coworker's dog just had a litter of 10 pups and we were offered. Now I'm wondering if I'm up to this training a baby from scratch. Something I did with the JRT was to use hand...

Congrats on the new dog, and that his training is going well. He's lucky to have you

ACK.......I did it too, sorry. subject matter is defined by a thin line and is difficult not to cross

Hospice is technically nursing care in the final stages of life......usually meaning you have an incurable disease or other life altering health condition and expected less than 6 months to live, Also called end of life care, or quality of life care. Each case is different and there are other...

My fruit trees don't have anything either and we've had more than plenty of rain. Cherry tree is more than 10 years old, a 5-way plum and Gravenstein apple was planted last year and another 3 way apple was planted this year. I know they are pretty young to fruit, but last year that plum tree was...

Of course I get more rain than you do. That kinda goes without saying,,,,,,dang it all anyway. 😂 BUT today we did get to 91 and tomorrow will be in the low 70's. Which is good, then I can get some work done that I can't do in the heat. I've never tried scarlet runners before, but yes on both...

Do you grow pole beans??? They usually take a couple weeks longer than bush to start producing, but once they do you can't keep them picked. In more normal years, they produce heavily until around mid to late August (our normal heat wave) when they take a break for a couple weeks, then they kick...

Haven't been doing much of anything the last few days. Just feeling kinda burned out.......I hate when that happens

You're talking about going in the toilet? Not in a litter box or outside??? Can't say we ever trained a cat to do that, though I have seen others who may have. I do know we used to have a very 'special' Siamese cat. Poor thing was so cross eyed his head would wobble and when he ran, his back...
