I’ve been canning for thirty years with boiling water bath canners and pressure cookers. I’m probably one of the few Americans that live in the south without AC and I usually drag my boiling water bath canner outside on the patio and can with my outside stove to avoid heating up the house. I’m now babysitting my grandchildren and it’s not convenient to do so. I thought it was worth a try and I have been extremely happy with it. It has two 1/4 diameter holes, one on each side and when the steam comes out in a column about eight inches long you time it just like a boiling water bath.

What is the best way to preserve fresh corn. We are going to have a bumper crop as usual and usually start the process after we have had our fill of corn on the cob and it starts to get tough and bland. We are growing Trinity again this year because it is a short season corn...

LOL!!!! Add me to your list. Unlike you, I don't have an outside stove, and the waterbath canner is on the stove as I type.
