Preserving
NOTICE
- To be understood under the term preserving is the conservation of foodstuffs by, amongst others, the effects of heat. Dependent upon the type and mass of the items to be preserved, a differentiation is made between the processes of sterilization and pasteurization. In sterilization, the items to be preserved are heated to a temperature of at least 100 °C. With pasteurization, the heating temperature lies at around 80 °C. For domestic purposes, pasteurization is sufficient. For this, one needs the appropriate preserving jars, with screw-tops or lids with rubber rings.
NOTICE - Preserve only fresh foods. Overripe fruits or vegetables are not suitable for preserving.
- Pay heed to the cleanliness of the jars! Ideally, boil the jars for around 5 –7 minutes before filling them with foodstuffs. This will ensure all germs and bacteria have been killed.
- Place the preserving grill 4 in the preserving boiler. Ensure that the preserving grill 4 does not come into contact with the temperature sensor inside the appliance.
- Place the filled and tightly sealed jars on the preserving grill 4. Stack the preserving jars on top of each other if required.
- Add water to the preserve maker until the upper preserving jars are around 3/4 covered. However, do not exceed the MAX marking. Ensure that the preserving jars on the lower level are properly closed so that no water can get in.
- Close the preserving boiler with the lid 1.
