    Today I learned that people do canning at home without a proper pressure cooker

      People have been doing hot water bath canning at home for well over a century. It works great for acidic foods like tomatoes or pickled vegetables. It’s completely safe if you follow the USDA Guide to Home Canning.

        Yeah I do this to can my homemade sauces. They’re basically half vinegar so I think I’m good on the acidity lol

        That’s true, I love taking a hot water bath, and it’s been completely safe so far
