3. The meat in the canning jars is cooked, sealed, and sterilised using hot, high-pressure steam.
4. 2-3 inches of water should be added to the canner.
5. Once the pressure gauge reaches the correct level, begin timing the canning procedure.
6. After the procedure is finished, turn off the heat and let the canner cool.
7. Do not open until the area has naturally cooled and been depressurized.
8. Food spoiling and canner lid warping can occur when the canner is forced to cool by running cold water over it.
