Canning
Risk of infection from bacteria.
The spores of the botulinum
bacterium are not sufficiently killed
by canning legumes and meat only
once. Toxins may form which can
lead to serious poisoning. These
spores are only destroyed by
canning the food again.
After they have cooled down,
always
reheat legumes and meat a second
time within 2 days.
Risk of injury from increased
pressure in sealed cans.
Canning food and heating it up in
closed containers results in an
increase in pressure which can
cause them to explode.
Do not use cans for canning or
reheating food.
Always observe USDA/CFIA food
safety guidelines.
Preparing fruit and vegetables
The instructions are for a maximum of
5 jars with a capacity of 4 cups (0.5 l)
each.
Only use special jars, which you can
find in specialist dealers:
-
Convection Bake
: Bottling jars
with a screw cap
-
Microwave
: Microwave-safe
bottling jars with glass lids, sealed
with clear adhesive tape
Only use undamaged jars and rubber
rings.
Rinse the jars with hot water before
canning and fill them up to a
maximum of 3/4" (2 cm) below the
rim.
Seal the jars with clear adhesive tape.
Do not use any metal clips as they
cause sparks when used with the
Microwave
operating mode.
Insert the glass tray on shelf level 1
and place the jars on it.
Using the Convection
Bake
operating mode
Select the
Convection
Bake
operating mode and a
temperature of 320-340°F (160–
170°C).
Wait until bubbles rise evenly in the
jars.
Then reduce the temperature to
prevent the contents from boiling over.
