I hsve been canning green beans for several years now in a pressure canner. Tonight i had 4 jar lids buckle up on me and dont know why. Any ideas?

How much water in the canner? I have a power pressure cooker

What is the difference between packing raw and cooking for 5 minutes ? Seems like the cooking first would make them soggy.

Denny B.
Is the salt optional ?

This is the exact same way I can my green beans. Thanks for posting the recipe for newbies to canning. It's great that you put step by step directions. Thanks again

This is the way I can green beans very year, for years. You have to use a pressure cooker like it says to can green beans. I also run the blade of a knife down the side of the jar to make sure that there is no air bubbles. Thank you for posting so that others will know.

This will be the first time doing beans this way. I have a new pressure cooker but not sure how to pressure at 10 pounds. I do not have a gauge like the old style pressure cookers.

Did these last year and, on looking up the recipe again for this year's crop, saw that I hadn't reviewed it. Apologies! A perfect way to preserve beans - they aren't over-cooked, and retain that 'fresh' taste! Thanks for a great recipe!

Made these last year...super. Quick, easy and yummy. Just used up my last jar. Great in hamburger bean soup. I will be planting more beans this spring for these...and to think, I used to hate green beans. Far better than canned from the store.
