What happens here

Using a jar lifter, carefully lower the filled and sealed jars onto the rack inside the prepared pressure canner. Make sure the jars do not touch each other. Once all jars are in, close and lock the canner lid. Turn the stove heat to high and allow steam to vent steadily for 10 minutes from the canner's vent pipe. After venting, place the weighted gauge (e.g., 10 lbs or 15 lbs, adjusted for altitude) on the vent pipe or monitor the dial gauge to reach the required pressure. Once the correct pressure is reached, begin timing the process according to your recipe (e.g., 25 minutes for pints or 30 minutes for quarts). Maintain a consistent pressure throughout the processing time, adjusting heat as necessary.

Goal: Place the prepared jars into the pressure canner, secure the lid, and process the tomatoes at the correct pressure and time.

them another little tug guys if you set your jars your cool jars down in hot water if you've already preheated the water and you set your cool jars down in there you take a chance and bust in the bottom out of your jar that's why we let it all warm up together all right all of my lids are on nice and secure I'm gonna take my pressure cooker and I'm going to secure the top here and I'm gonna make sure my five pound weights on and I'm gonna turn the heat on to about a medium-high we want this thing to start jiggling and once it starts jiggling we set our timer for 10 minutes so it jiggles for 10 minutes 5 pounds of pressure for 10 minutes we let it naturally cool down then we take our jars out set them to the side when we take them out they'll still be bubbling and boiling they'll be pretty cool to see we'll let them cool down naturally and then we'll start the next batch so we stop jiggling and we're all done with the first canning here I'm gonna get my canning tongs and I'll pull my jars out real quick and show you what they look like so our little jiggler has stopped
