i used to do alot of canning, all sorts of foods. when i got my jars out to get ready for a batch id wash throughly and then serilize before adding any foods.
i have a friend whoe says nah, that not necessary cause it will be sterilized inside and out while in the pressure canner.. he even uses new jars out of the box, doesnt wash otr rinse, but just adds food, puts on sterile lids--he does the lids right-- then puts in canner. and says thats all it needs
i thinbk this is creepy and taking alot of risk. just cause the new canning jars are with lids, in the boc doesnt mean it is CLEAN and sterile and safe to add food too. who knows what dust or stuff floating around landing in the jars and factory. but he insisits im wrong, being fussy and doing more work than necessary.
they also save glass food jars from the store with metal lids and cans with them but just hot water bath.
not washing and sterilizing jars seems unsafe. he is kind of on the lazy side always looking for short cuts so i think thats whaats going one--eliminate a step or 2 and get it done sooner kind of thing.
does anyone have info, experience or do i need to turn him in to jackie clay for a talkin to.
