Hello, I am no expert but I have found for just around five dollars you can get a book called Blue Book guide to preserving. It is from the company Ball who makes the jars you will use. You can also find many helpful videos on You Tube. I know you will need a pressure caner, not cooker they are different. The caner is for preserving your food in the jars. The cooker is for cooking food quicker.You can cook in a caner but not can in a cooker...............confused?? I hope not.

Ok... I give up. I need some help. I'm having a hard time finding instructions on how to can... Meat, Vegetables, and Soup! I want to learn how too can my chicken noodle soup! I want to learn the proper and safe way of canning food. Also what do I need... IE Pots, pans, pressure cooker, preservatives if needed, types of jars/lids, and anything I missed. How long does each type of food last in the jars etc. etc. Please... Thank you in advanced.
