If someone is doing something here that is unorthodox please say they are.
People come here to get good honest, truthful, safe information.

My mother canned quart jars of green beans at 10 PSI for 25 minuets for years they weren't mush and they were what the rules said to do.
We never got sick.
It is the only processing time I can remember, we canned so many of them.

A pressure canner must reach a temperature of 250 degrees Fahrenheit in order to stop botulism. This is an axiom.
Fifteen (15) PSI reaches 250FTen (10) PSI only reaches a temperature of 240F.Five (5) PSI only reaches 228F
Do I miss somethng?
