All this talk of pressure canning..I pulled all of mine out of the
cabinet/shelves, and came them a good cleaning and once over. I've
never canned venison, but lisa has me thinking about it and IF I were to
get a deer, canning it would be something new to try.
Because I only do this one a year or so, I always need refresher courses
in it, so I want the manuals. I know the old manuals are around here
somewhere, but I can't find them.
Taking inventory, all parts seem to be there, I have all the plugs and
weights and pan inserts. The gaskets look okay, perhaps the worst one
is the Mirror 4 quart pot.
Mirror 4 quart 15 weight... No canning done in this pot...cooking
only. I could not find a mirror canner that looked like mine.

I have cooked small batches in this pot-2-3 jars at once.
