if i remember correctly, you have a dehydrater, how is that working for you and what kind of quantities do you process.

Im loving the dehydrater !! Bought some apples for it today. I also got my new pressure cooker today in the mail and canned approx 1/6 th of my potato crop. Im hoping for 35-40 quarts total. The potato variety today was Pontiac.

Are those the tators, or the apples? Looks good either way!

It just rained super hard here in Paola....for about 6 minutes. And it's gone completely.

The last time it rained was about 2 weeks ago...extremely hard for about 3 minutes.

It's pretty weird.

(The rain went away...Paola's still here )

Hold up...I figgered that out by myself...They're tators!

Yeah it rained here yesterday for 10 minutes, best rain we've had all summer.



I canned another six quarts of potatoes today. My "Rotato" arrived as I was finishing up. Knew you want to see it in action. Video below

A pressure cooker?

A pressure cooker?

The only way to kill the Clostridium botulinum bacteria spores is to cook low acid foods at 240 degrees. A temperature which can only be achieved in a pressure cooker. Mold, yeast, and enzymes which also cause food to spoil can be killed at 212 degrees.

Had to pick my champion radish today, something ( not the dog ) was gnawing on it. Stuck it in the freezer. Weird seeds we are getting these days ?? Note the normal size radish and coins in the pics.
