Created in a pressure cooker overpressure allows sterilization at a temperature of 120 ° — in industrial environments.
This not only reduces sterilization time 2-4 times, saving gas or electricity boards, but also guaranteed to be destroyed molds and dangerous botulism spores.
By reducing the heat treatment time in the home preforms better preserved natural flavor, color, aroma products, and all vitamins and other biologically active substances.
With this method may be safely cook delicious quality canned meat, pickled mushrooms, which can then be safely stored for a long time.
The standard 6-liter pressure cooker fits 4 cans 0.5 liter, under which you want to install the stand for the jars. Well washed and dried cans filled with a product to be sterilized, sealed closed screw caps.

Initially produce heat over high heat until the valve is from under comes out with a hiss of steam, then reduce the heat and time intersect.
After the sterilization process heat is removed and wait until it stops hissing steam (you can gently steam pit, lifting valve with a spoon). banks
removed using a special clamp and removed to complete cooling. If the banks roll conventional disposable lids, the products are placed so that the top layer did not reach the edges of the banks in the 1-1.5 cm, or may disrupt the cover during sterilization.
