Instead, you can use the kettle and the pot, covered with a mesh (eg, spray divider for frying), but much of the steam will go off and get a good warm cans do not work, and the kitchen is too wet. Therefore, using special pads on the pot, they are for the sterilization one, and for a few cans.

If the bank is big, put it to one side. Do not put in the microwave empty containers. And the cover better simply sterilized in water on a stove.

Often there is a necessity to sterilize, and the finished product. Normally, this need: salads (lecho, caviar, etc.), all the blanks of vegetables without vinegar, pickled mushrooms, fruit drinks and juices. Jam, pickled cucumbers and tomatoes do not need to sterilize (sterilized only empty cans for them).

Process: Banks with blanks cover boiled lids (not roll). Put in a pan with heated to a temperature of about cans with water so that water covered the shoulders banks, but did not reach 1.5-2 cm to the neck.

It is desirable in the bottom of the pan put a wooden club that banks did not skate and did not fight against each other. Boil the required time. Pull out. Rolls.

Typically, sterilization time specified in recipes canning. A classic case of (for workpieces that are put into the jar hot) liter jars to sterilize for 10-15 minutes, two-liter - 20-25 minutes, three-liter - 25-30 minutes.

Sometimes, for example when it is necessary to sterilize peas, water should boil at a temperature above 100 degrees. For this purpose, water is added to common salt. Need a boiling point of 101 degrees - add 66 grams of salt per liter of water, 102 degrees - 126 grams of salt, 103 - 172, 104 - 215, 105 - 255, 107 - 355, 110 - 478.

When, on the contrary, sterilization is carried out at a water temperature below 100 degrees, about 85 degrees - this is called pasteurisation, it is necessary to use a thermometer and occasionally off the fire, and the time spent in the pan cans increased by 2-3 times. In pasteurization need compotes, vegetable marinades.
