I finally worked up the courage to learn how to use it while we are in Covid quarantine. Tonight I canned 10 pints of boneless chicken breast --- but since it was loosely packed, it only fills the pint jars halfway. I'm super nervous that it's not properly processed so planning to just keep the jars in the fridge and we'll use the meat this week for lunches. If it IS safe, that will be a bonus! I don't fully trust my skills yet.

I also read your canning beef post about putting in taco seasoning. I usually cook taco meat, and then freeze it, but I like the idea of canning it better. The meat seems to get freezer burn too easy in my plastic freezer tubs. Thank you for the very informative post.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05197609594066240381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701812027455701320.post-16470911664644146432017-09-19T15:22:04.681-07:002017-09-19T15:22:04.681-07:00My husband and I have canned chicken, beef, and ve...My husband and I have canned chicken, beef, and venison like this.

We buy our beef from a local farmer and store in the freezer as I'm sure a lot of people do. In the fall, we clean out the freezer to make room for the fresh beef, I cook and can all of last years beef. Soup bones cooked with the other cuts add flavor and makes wonderful broth. The canned meat will then keep in the pantry a very long time. (Hate to even admit how long I have kept and used it) It is great for beef and noodles and lots of dishes! I have not tried chicken yet, but after I get finished with my garden bounty, I plan to try.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13357328231722020733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701812027455701320.post-57299107958790468732016-09-06T08:21:27.412-07:002016-09-06T08:21:27.412-07:00Hey Judy, Its best and safest to use a pressure ca...Hey Judy, Its best and safest to use a pressure canner. People did used to can chicken, and probably still do, but it can mean spoilage of your product. Pressure canners are great and you can do your tomatoes in it as well as beans, potatoes, stew meat or even beef stew and broth that you make yourself so it doesn't have any other unwanted ingredients in it. Pressure canners run about $50 to $75 more or less. I've just started using mine and if you read and follow the instructions its easy. I just read a hint that if you are using a pressure canner for the first time to do a trial run with just water so you can see how it works. I wish I had done this but I didn't have any problems as I kept the manual handy. So far I have canned stew beef, 23 pints of tomatoes and 7 quarts and my project today is chicken. I do wish I had read this article first though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02579304957219133960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701812027455701320.post-29901935730755583582016-07-19T09:55:00.842-07:002016-07-19T09:55:00.842-07:00If you cooked in a canner not a pressure cooker ho...If you cooked in a canner not a pressure cooker how long would you cooked it?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06847347601387088367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701812027455701320.post-11189637516675883362016-07-10T07:06:54.870-07:002016-07-10T07:06:54.870-07:00I totally agree lol!I totally agree lol!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06344817048918183493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701812027455701320.post-80692000983625009512016-07-10T07:05:53.130-07:002016-07-10T07:05:53.130-07:00I agree.

LARGE bubbles are what we need to worry about. :) Would you use the same PINT time if using 1/2 pint jars? We have a small dog, so I'd like to use one jar per day for her "dog food" (just chicken breast with chopped up chicken-gizzards and chicken-hearts). Would adding a little water to the jars hurt at all? If not, how much (thinking 1/4-1/2 of the jar after meat is packed, maybe even more)? Thanks, great article! <br /><br />~KD6AAJ~ First time canner, and a man to boot! I have a 15QT American Canner, with an added 3-pressure weight PLUS the gauge.

If you see the jars when they come out of the canner, the juices are just boiling like crazy. I find it really hard to believe that there would be any area the steam and the juice has not reached. With pressure canning you really should be fine no matter what. If you are concerned, I would just keep that jar in the fridge and use it first. I have been canning meat for years now, never have inspected a processed jar for air bubbles and never have had any issues, but as always, use your best judgement.

The bean recipe I have does say 10lbs for 90, but I end up throwing cans of beans in the same batch so I think that is where I just went with the highest poundage required by the group. It makes sense that 10 lbs would be enough though.

Canning is a lost art and wish more people would use and teach it. I can everything I know how to. As far as the one LONG winded reply from 2012, FDA does not give any recommendations on canning poultry but ... it's obviously done and the temp at 10psi is 240deg. hot enough to kill any bacteria and 90min time is surely long enough.

I have always wondered about canning meat and poultry. I do can my own salmon and tuna, but have never done Chicken. Tonight I will rectify that. I read all the posts regarding this and was appalled by anonymous from 2012. She really needs a Zanex or something similar. Thank you for your blog and I am reading all your recipes. We live on a sailboat and planning on cruising. They don't have super markets on little islands out in the middle of no where, so the poultry and meat canning will provide well balanced diets for myself and Hubby.
