This is going to be my first canning season and my husband surprised me a while ago with a nice big pressure canner.
The only catch is that the only two people I know to have used pressure canners have filled my head with notions of exploding pots, fires and the great great great great auntie who could never walk quite right after a rogue batch of beets nearly took her life.
I've looked on youtube and blogs and have learnt quite a lot, but I'm still a bit nervous. I've got the Ball Book and their huge companion cookbook but I'd like a visual just to settle my nerves that I won't cause the next Chicago Fire for want of my love of pickled okra.
Could anyone recommend a definitive source for videos specifically for pressure canners?
