Canning safety! I have a pressure canner that stares at me every time I go into my pantry room... help me stop the glare :)
As a very little girl, many, many years ago, I saw the top fly off a pressure canner that my mom was using; I can still see it in my mind! I don’t have to tell you what that kind of experience does to a little girl; I was scared to death of that big pot for the longest time. Over time though, as my mama kept using it and teaching me, I grew more comfortable with the process and overcame my fear. By the time I was a teenager, I was operating that pressure canner like a pro. Thankfully, now pressure canners have safety features built in that keeps the lid from flying off!!!
