It's an ordeal canning 100+ qts for 45 mins!

it always takes me longer than I account for and I'm lucky.
My wife is chef and taught the hygiene course at Schoolcraft Culinary college ( CIA of the Midwest) so she has everything organized and we add the lemon juice, keep everything sterile..she makes me sterilize the jars prior to filling them..everything is by the book.

an additional 5 mins I could probably live with but 85!
it would take forever and jars filled and ready for the next batch would have to sit around..you couldn't put em in the fridge because they may break when they were dunked in the boiling water.

I heard Balls was bought by a company in Canada and that after that the times were changed.

Is this a case of some corp lawyers wanting to cover their behinds (like a ladder that is rated at 300 lb is tested to hold 1,200) " tell these idiots 85 mins and that should insure that they will at least get a solid 45 mins done correctly"
Or is their solid evidence that 85 mins at 212 kills something that 45 mins at 212 does not?
