They are one in the same

Not all pressure cookers can be used for canning, check with your model number. Some pressure cookers are too small. All pressure canners are pressure cookers though.

Terri O,
I pressured canned kidney beans and they still seemed firm to us even tho the skin split during the processing. I too, like to have canned beans ready. My next project is to can pinto beans so that I can make my own refried beans. I will do the soak and can like I did with the kidney beans. Not much help but I think its something you will need to try and judge for yourself.

I canned 16 pints of chicken broth---soup season is upon us!

I make lemonchello and peach schnapps... both worth great as extracts too. I didn't think about this until I read the vanilla idea here. I'm hoping to add the other extracts soon, order more bottles and have them all available in my shop next spring. Running out of time with all my holiday orders starting.

I had a head of broccoli that was starting to bolt, had a few yellow flowers on it. Per the "Center for Food Preservation" instructions; I steamed it for five minutes and froze. I hope it will be good enough for casseroles anyway.

4.30 in the afternoon and it is 76 degrees outside, I think we set a record today. Dang cabbage is liable to start bolting.
