How many jars t in this appliance?
The preserving recipes in this appliance are based on providing you
the optimal experience for every batch of freshly made food you make.
The table below recommends the number of jars to place in the Inner
Pot of the Appliance per recipe batch – whether pre-heating empty
jars or preserving your freshly made foods. The recipes included in
this Recipe Book are written for these recommended yields. Preserving
more jars at a time can be unsafe during the jar removing process.
For more information, see page 14.
What jar sizes can I use in my appliance?
Your recipe will guide you on the right jar size, but the mouth size is up
to you. Refer to page 13 for suggestions on mouth size and the popular
jar sizes that work well in this appliance.
Can I double stack jars in my appliance?
We do not recommend double stacking jars due to height restrictions
for the appliance. If you try to double stack jars and force the lid closed,
you could cause significant damage to your appliance.
Why do I have to add Ball® brand Citric Acid or lemon
juice to my tomato based recipes?
Bottled lemon juice or Ball
®
brand Citric Acid must be added to your
home canned tomato recipes. Why, you ask? Differences among the variety
of tomatoes, growing conditions and many other factors can change
the natural acidity level of your tomatoes. Because of this, you have
to add acid to your tomatoes to ensure a safely home canned product.
See recipes for specific instructions.
How much water is needed to ll the Inner Pot
before Pre-Heating or Preserving?
To make it easy for you, there is a fill line marking on the Inner Pot.
But be sure to remove the Rack before filling with warm tap water
to fill line. For full instructions, refer to page 16 or your recipe.
