Yeah that’s because they aren’t doing it properly.
You don’t seal the jar and a pressure cooks puts pressure on the outside…. Not inside….
A slow cooker with a mason jar in it leaves a clean crockpot for cooking instead of needing two. The jar is JUST a vessel.
I’ve looked up guides, I’ve done this dozens of times. Even a full sealed jar is designed and meant to be used under pressure…. Canning requires pressure FFS dude.
How is cleaning a full crockpot easier than just a mason jar….?
I understand that their instructions are bad… that was my point this whole time… I don’t know why you feel the need to keep telling me that.
Jars are too small for me and I’d rather just do a larger batch in a slow cooker. Ours cleans out fine and doesn’t effect cooking/flavor of other food.
I’ve known people who’ve had accidents canning and home brewed beer bottling, where their equipment failed and injured them. I’m not going to trust the Walmart special canning jars to hold up fully sealed in a pressure cooker or roaring boil, as most reddit/forum instructions I read stated. That sketches me out.
I understand there are other safer and more effective ways to use jars. I’m glad you have something that works for you. Cleaning our slow cooker is easy and it’s easier make large batches this way.
