Canning is a pressure cooking function based on traditional canning principles. When proper
canning processes are followed and sufficient temperatures are reached for a sustained
period of time, canning is considered an economical way to preserve quality food at home.
Recipes must be closely followed when canning. Modifying cooking times,
ingredients or temperatures can be dangerous. Use the exact time, temperature/pressure and
method specified in the recipe to protect the food from harmful bacteria, molds, and enzymes.
Read and carefully follow the instructions provided in the USDA’s Complete Guide to
Home Canning. http://nchfp.uga.edu/publications/publications_usda.html
The Canning Smart Program includes 2 settings:
Altitude: Water boils at lower temperatures as altitude increases. Lower temperatures are less
effective for killing bacteria. Ensure the proper altitude level is set on the pressure cooker
before starting to pressure can. Depending upon the altitude level setting, the pressure
cooker will adjust the temperature and pressure accordingly.
