Do you know if they’ve used it to pressure can by chance? I think I’ve dug myself a bit of a hole.
On a whim of an idea, never a good start, I bought a pressure canner. I thought why have I been worrying about trying to get a freezer when I can just pressure can a bunch of stock? I never have enough room for stock. I didn’t think about the fact that I have a push button electric cooktop. Those push buttons have been the vain of my existence overtime. You can’t fly anything because it gets too hot or it gets too cool there’s not an in between medium high and high. Mom solved this with using an electric frying pan which I also use. You see I didn’t think this one through, right? Then trying to find a burner recommended by pressure canners ends me with everyone recommending a particular commercial hot plate that’s nearly $300. I mean, I don’t have a whole farm of stuff I need to pressure can. I haven’t even taken the pressure canner out of its box, but it is too late to return it..Btw, did I tell you I’ve now read that pressure canning destroys the nutrients in the stock And the recommended storage is freezing? Now they tell me, lol!
So, I’m back to looking at upright freezers. Why don’t they make any that are the same height as a refrigerator? Don’t they know that’s where my stockpots need to go? (Apparently not!) They are either TALLer or shorter. Taller than the wall light fixture! I currently have it narrowed down to one that’s probably bigger than I need at 20 ft.³ where all the shelves are adjustable or 14 ft.³ that’s probably a better size for just me, but the shelves aren’t all adjustable. Bad shelf placement is something that annoys me about my current refrigerator. So if you’ve read this far down into my off topic tangent, which would you choose?
Gah! Such first world problems!
I usually use the quart containers to freeze, but am considering trying the ziplock bag/flattening to freeze. I'm always afraid it's going to leak or tear.
