How to close the jars
Carefully follow the instructions given by the
lid manufacturer.
Use a metal ring with an air-tight coating and
a screw on metal ring that fits standard
canning jars.
1. Fill the jar. Wipe down the rim.
2. Place the metal disks in hot or boiling water
according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
3. Place the disk on the jar, making sure that
it is placed directly on the glass and creating
an air-tight gasket.
4. Screw on the ring using only the strength of your hands. Do not use any
tools to screw the ring closed. If the ring is screwed too tightly, this may
cause the disk to warp.
5. When canned properly, this jar will seal itself automatically. Do not
retighten the ring once the jar is removed from the pressure canner as they
eventually will be removed when storing the canned food.
Warning: know how to detect spoiled foods
A leaky jar or a damaged lid are signs that the jar's contents may have spoiled.
Check if the contents have an odd colour or give off a strange smell.
Never taste food you think is spoiled. Dispose of immediately. Certain foods
may contain botulinum toxin (causing botulism) even if their smell and taste
appear normal. For this reason, boil non-acidic vegetables and meats for
10 minutes before eating. Other canned foods should also be boiled before
being eaten.
Care and Cleaning
Cleaning the pressure cooker
To ensure the correct operation of your pressure
cooker, follow these cleaning and maintenance
recommendations after each use:
• Clean the pressure cooker after each use with
warm, soapy water.
• Never use bleach or products containing chlorine.
• Do not overheat your pot when empty.
How to clean the inside of the pot:
• Use a sponge and dish soap.
The stains and
scratches which may
appear after long
