Utensils for preserving

If you regularly preserve vegetables and fruit, you should get the following equipment:

• Mason jars with glass lids and rubber rings as well as metal clips for short-term closing
• Glasses with screw caps
• Clamp glasses with rubber ring

Mason jars are suitable for preserving vegetables such as beans, cabbage, peppers, onions, etc.
Jars with screw caps are suitable for jam, but also for pickling cucumbers, onions, peppers, chilli, etc.
The clamp jars are used to preserve tomato puree, mixed pickles, cucumbers, pumpkin or zucchini, etc.
A preserving machine is worthwhile for large quantities. You can also boil down in the oven, but there is more space in the large wake-up kettle.

Hygiene rules for canning

Surely everyone's wake-up food has been spoiled in the glass at one point or another. Mostly it is due to a lack of hygiene.
Jars are always rinsed and sterilized before use, that is, placed in boiling water for ten minutes. Damaged lids and rubber rings will be replaced.

How do you wake up properly?

1. First wash the vegetables, remove the flowers and stems, as well as pressure and rot points.
2. Chop the vegetables according to your taste and cut into cubes, rings or sticks.
3. Put the vegetables in the glass, pour in some water and add a little salt, possibly also spices.
4. Seal the jars. Dry the edges well and screw on the lids. With the jar, the rubber ring is placed on the edge and then the lid. This is closed with a metal clip. The hanger glass is closed with the wire frame, which is attached to the lid.
5. Place the glasses in the preserving machine, but leave enough space between them.
6. Pour so much water into the pot that the glasses are 3/4 of the water.
7. Heat the automatic cooker. Please note the manufacturer's instructions for the preservation time. Depending on the appliance and the vegetables, boiling can take up to two hours at a temperature of 75 to 100.

If you only want to preserve a few glasses, you can also use your oven.

1. Prepare the glasses as you would for the automatic cooker.
2. Preheat the oven to around 150 degrees for fruit and 190 degrees for vegetables.
3. Place the glasses in the drip pan and pour in enough water that the glasses are about 2 cm in the water.
4. If the liquid begins to pearl in the glasses, switch off the oven, but leave the glasses in the warm oven for another 30 minutes.

Take the food out of the oven / preserving machine and let it cool down completely under a tea towel.
