Had to Google autoclave, never heard of it before. What's it used for in a hospital? Sterilizing surgical implements?Never heard of pressure canning...
Grandma would pour alcohol on top of her preserves, light it and screw the lid on at the Right time.
Hospital Autoclaves can be free or close to it...
Had several perfect older models sent out as scrap because they lack computer telemetry documentation with only basic disk recording...
How would a hospital autoclave be used.
Years ago legend has it the hospitals Autoclaves we're used for a fund raiser spaghetti feed... way before my time.
For food preservation, would you use it like a pressure canner, with the food already in jars or would you use it to process food, then package it a different way?
Surprised you'd never heard of pressure canning. I'd always thought it was a fairly well known method of preserving.
