“If the center is not sucked down, it has not sealed. If you just push down a bit on the center of the lid, it should not pop like a childs clicker (remember those little froggy things?).”
Ok, thanks.
I use one of those clicker thingies in training my cats. Well, cat. I only have one that is smart enough to really train. The others just show up for treats. (ie., they are training me - and doing a darned fine job of it as well!)
“I really doubt that the leakage into the cooker came from a failed seal. Remember, it had to vent some of that bubbling air out of the jar to create a vacuum. It is normal to get a bit of aroma and juice in the canner “
Makes sense. I guess I get to find out tomorrow how I did - what fun!!!
(ps - too lazy to use html!)
By now, you should be able to check to be sure they all sealed... If one did not, be sure and put it in the refrigerator, and then just use it in the next week...
Not trying to taunt you into doing anything else right now, just want to crow a little - - Wife and daughter wanted to stop at the thrift shop as we came back from picking up the sweet potato plants - Could not believe it - they had a nice dehydrator - $6.99 still in the original box, sealed in original plastic wrap - paperwork and all... Even gave me a return slip in case it didn’t work as it should... Nice 6 tray unit with fan, heat, etc.
So, I will be able to double-up on my drying. Perfect time to find another as I was planning to dry much more this year.
Everyone, I just wanted to thank you all for your prayers. I recently got reduced to only two days per week on dialysis. I’ve stayed on my raw foods diet (about 75% raw) and kept my weight the same for about six months now. God is good!! And you guys are the best!!
