Thnx Georgia!
I've only canned ground beef and cut up roasts n other beef cuts......I cook just til pink then put in the jars and process in pressure canner 1:15 min..for pints.
I've never processed just beef fat...that's what I need to learn how to do. I have quite a bit of beef fat from roasts and excess from other beef cuts put away in freezer...not sure how to process that correctly..
Nothing but respect for the All American brand. I’ve been using a Presto for 8 years and never had a jar not seal. I can everything, meat, soups, stews, red beans and rice, everything. I changed the seal this year as I felt 8 years might be long enough. I opted for the Presto due to the cost of the All American. I’m sure that there are some advantages to having the All American, but I just need my jars to seal. I’m very happy with my Presto canner. It has served me well.Just ordered a 21.5 quart All American pressure canner.
Man are those things pricey and hard to find. Went to their sight after deciding on All American and everything is out of stock.
Found one on Amazon finally but it wont be here till the 26th.
I cringed when I heard it was going to go for around $300 bucks,I cringed even harder when I found the going price is now $420 bucks.
It'll do 7 quarts or 19 pint jars.
One thing I found weird that maybe someone can answer.
The 25 quart has the same jar capacity as the 21.5 quart. Why would you buy the larger one when the capacity is the same?

We have had both and they all work fine for me. I think it is important for people to stock up on extra parts and gaskets as money allows.Nothing but respect for the All American brand.

I changed mind, pulled the ground beef out of freezer after work this eve. Gonna try n get it canned tomorrow after work...not sure what I'll can yet this weekend..but I could use instruction on processing beef fat...as I do have some vacuum sealed in bags in freezer...not sure what to do with it or how. I guess I could look online and you tube but will take any advice y'all have..
Yes, tex prep..I suppose tallow. At this point trying to make use of everything. I've never made it before.

I can ground turkey which is primarily for my border collies (i.e. dog food)..I know some here will poo pooh that...and likely think I'm nuts and that's ok...Speaking of dog food- do any of you can dog food?
I've thought of canning some for our beasts but I have never done it. I make them food fairly often when I have unusable meats for whatever reason. We buy kibble, too, but of course they love it when I make them food.

That's ONE ingredient I feed them..as well as chicken liver, gizzards and a variety of veggies, like carrots, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, green beans, peas, and they get scrambled eggs too, as well as brown rice and a smaaall amount of dry dog food for calories.
I don't think that answered your exact question..but to me, the ground turkey I can is dog food as well as people food...simply because that's what I feed me border collies.
I don't find that crazy at all. I love all my furry pups and treat them like I would IF I still had kids here at home. I'll admit that I do not can especially for them. They will just have to eat what we do. But trust me they will be taken care of. Maybe one day they will even bring home food for me.I can ground turkey which is primarily for my border collies (i.e. dog food)..I know some here will poo pooh that...and likely think I'm nuts and that's ok...

That makes sense to me. I do feed them our food whenever I make meat.I can ground turkey which is primarily for my border collies (i.e. dog food)..I know some here will poo pooh that...and likely think I'm nuts and that's ok...

Our pups had dinovite for awhile. The old man lost interest after awhile. It worked, though!That's good stuff. It's to labor intensive for me. I feed my dogs an inexpensive high protein dry food and add a scoop of Dinovite. I'll add scraps of un seasoned food and chicken eggs. One of my dogs is 18 years old this year.

Thank you for the information. I have been advised by our vet to feed RC, but we can't afford it.I know this is a canning thread. But since it has turned to dog food…..
My wife being a specialist vet figures a lot out about the animal from the history. We do get a discount on 1 of the top 3 dog food manufacturers, but she has to periodically take a training course on nutrition. Honest disclaimer.
I mix a RC feed and a P feed for my dogs. Never scraps or people food.
Feeding homemade, table scraps, takes a lot out her ability to diagnose a problem. She always says that the company that brings her the most business is the one one that spends their $ on marketing. You all can figure out what BB is.
One client had an issue because of all the snack treats made by a famous chicken company. My wife found out afterwards, that that’s all the client was feeding the dog. That famous chicken company paid the dogs bill before she found out this fact.
You’all can do what you want. But if your dog is ill, and you want THAT dog, Find a very qualified professional Vet that needs to know the nutrition going into it Is.
Back to canning.
