Jody OFFLINE Senior Member Posts: 60 Good Job(s): 6	I'm a first year gardener & I'd like to try canning some of our veggies. Do I need to buy the fancy canning pots or can I just use a pot I already have? (I make homemade sauce and the pot is very deep....I think it would work well) Thank you!!

I did purchase a pressure cooker years back, and found out you can get cans hot in water, set them out on counter space, soon they will start Chirping! Also watch Youtubes. Got anymore ques, email me Thanks, Good luck with canning, I save a lot of money from my garden!
