The blanks for the winter - the hostess is engaged in this work all summer and part of the autumn. You can prepare anything, starting from vegetables and fruits, as well as berries and ending with meat canned foods and mushrooms. The blanks for the winter can be done in different ways: dry the berries, freeze or canned. Mistresses resort to the last method of preparations most often and here you can not do without preparing the container. How to sterilize cans in a slow cooker, consider methods.

Sterilization of cans in a slow cooker

Before proceeding with the packaging of salads, jam and other conservation, you need to prepare a container. There are many ways, starting from long and most effective, and ending with fast, when banks, as well as covers, are wiped with a cotton swab moistened in an alcohol solution. This is fast, but wrong.

What needs to be prepared:

• glass jars for blockage-2-3 pcs.;
• covers-2-3 pcs.;
• water - 3 cups;
• soda - 3 tbsp.

How to sterilize cans in a slow cooker:

1. As for the volume of cans, everything is individually, but if you harvest jam or jams of fruits and berries, it is most convenient to roll this product into small jars. If you want to prepare cucumbers or tomatoes for the winter, then you need to prepare banks of a larger volume, from 1 liter to 3 liters.
2. The preparatory moment is the most important, because the shelf life of the blockage depends on this. You can harvest for a long time, prepare, cook, spend a lot of precious time, and then throw all the blanks after a couple of weeks, because the process of fermentation began inside the jar due to the fact that sterility was not observed. That is, banks, as well as covers, were prepared not according to the rules.
3. We will return to this issue soon, but for now you need to choose a container and blocking covers. The most important rule is to scrupulously consider each jar, especially if it is not new and was already used last year. The bank should be whole, without cracks, as well as chips in the upper part, because the key for conservation will not slide on the surface not perfectly, this can lead to the fact that the bank will either burst at the most crucial moment, or the cover will not fit tightly. And this is the ingress of oxygen, which leads to fermentation processes. Therefore, we examine each jar very carefully. We use the covers only new ones.
4. If the banks are new, just from the store, you still need to inspect each jar, during the transportation process, glass containers could be damaged.
5. What we do next, take soda and a clean sponge for dishes. Our mothers and grandmothers made this part of the work a little differently, instead of a store sponge, they used a gauze cut. You can also prepare a cut of gauze, fold it in several layers.
6. Now each glass jar must be washed under a stream of running water, take a soda powder and grate each jar inside. Pay special attention to the upper part of the can, especially to the place where the cover is in contact with the neck of the container.
7. After all the banks are treated with soda, the powder must be washed off with water from the tap. You need to do this several times to thoroughly wash the crystals of soda.
8. We coped with this task, now you need to put the jars up on the table, take the grill for steaming dishes (it sells in the kit with the slow cooker) and also thoroughly wash and treat it with soda. Then you need to wash the bars of a pairing boat under running water well.
9. What we do with a cup of multicooker: it also needs to be washed well, but without soda, because abrasive materials can scratch the coating of the bowl. Often, housewives are faced with the fact that when sterilized containers, banks absorb extraneous smells, and then transfer them to home blanks. To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to prepare the bowl in advance. If borsch was cooked in it, stewed meat, etc., then it is necessary to pour 3-4 cups of ordinary water into a pot of multicooker, add a couple of slices of lemon, close the lid and activate the “Extinguishing”, “Soup” or “Baking” mode. This is necessary so that the bowl is clean, and the smell of the previous cooked food is not present in it.
10. We approach the most responsible moment, the bowl is prepared, the banks are also ready, the double boiler is also. Now you need to pour 3 cups of water into the multicooker bowl, you can directly from the crane or warm.
11. On top, you need to install a container for cooking a steamed, and put the jars on it. Depending on the volume of the multicooker bowl, several small jars are placed on top.
12. You do not need to close the multicooker lid, and it will not work. Turn on the program “Warm -up”. For cans with a volume of 500 ml, you will need from 7 to 10 minutes of steam processing and from 15 minutes, for liter cans.
13. If you just bought banks and have not yet closed anything in them, then the processing time can be reduced half.
14. What to do if your device does not have a pair? Then you can turn on any program, it is important that the water boils. You can first set the “soup” or “baking” mode, and switch to the “stew” mode from the moment of boiling water.
15. For 1 time in a standard multicooker, you can sterilize 2 or 3 half -liter jars. If the jars are ordinary, it fits to sterilize cans in a slow cooker 3 pcs., If with wide sides, then 2 jars.
16. After the indicated time, you need to carefully remove the jars and put the bottom up on a clean towel. Be extremely careful because the jars are hot, there is boiling water inside the multicooker container, so it is advisable to use special kitchen tacks or take a clean towel to get jars.

Now you know how to sterilize cans in a slow cooker and can make any blanks for the winter. After the banks are completely dry, all the moisture will evaporate, you can lay out jam or other blanks on the jars and roll up with lids. As for the covers, they can also be sterilized in a slow cooker, it is enough to put the lids in the water to remove the cans and remove the double boiler.

Sterilization of cans in a slow cooker. The second method

This method of sterilizing cans in a slow cooker does not particularly differ, everything needs to be done in the same way as in the previous recipe, only instead of soda other ingredient is used.

The following will need:

• glass jars with a volume of 500 ml-2-3 pcs.;
• covers-2-3 pcs.;
• water - 3 cups;
• mustard powder - 4 tbsp.

How to sterilize cans in a slow cooker:

1. First of all, we will deal with the preparatory work. Even before the moment you cook jam or make salads for the winter, you can deal with sterilization of cans in a slow cooker. Of course, this can be done in parallel, but then you will have to wait for the bank to completely dry, because it is very important to lay blanks, especially jams, jams, salads and caviar in dry jars.
2. We carefully examine each jar so that there are no cracks, chips or pins. Such banks are unsuitable for blockage. If the pins in the upper part of the can, on the neck and small ones, then you can take a chance, but it is not worth hoping that the blanks will stand for a long time. At any moment, such a bank can “explode”, the lid will fly due to the fact that air got inside and the fermentation process began.
3. As for the preparation of the cans, if you have intact jars, it remains to rinse them thoroughly under a stream of water, right under the tap, and then shake off excess liquid and grate each jar generously from the inside of mustard powder. It kills bacteria, so it is very important to treat not only the jar inside, but also walk along the neck.
4. Each jar was wiped with mustard, now wait a couple of minutes and you can rinse the powder under running water. Water can be either cold and warm, it is only important to completely wash off the powder so that nothing remains.
5. Similar actions can be done with lids, because we will also process them.
6. Now you need to pour 3 cups of water into the multicooker bowl. If there is an extraneous smell, then before sterilizing cans in a slow cooker, boil water with lemon slices to remove extraneous smells. You can do this in the "Baking", "Soup", "steaming" mode. Time-from the moment of boiling 5-7 minutes.
7. Put a multicooker with a steamer grip on top of the pan. By the way, it also needs to be either treated with boiling, or rubbed with mustard, and then wash the powder well. It is more convenient and faster to boil water with lemon in the cup of multicooker, and put a double boiler on top.
8. Drain the water with lemon, pour clean water into the multicooker bowl, put the lids in it, put the container for steaming on top of the bowl and you need to put the jugs down on it to the cans to sterilize the cans in the slow cooker.
9. Activate the program “Steam”, if this is not, then turn on any program so that the water boils quickly. For example, "soup" or "baking". As soon as the water in the cup of the slow cooker begins to boil, you need to switch the device into the "stewing" mode. From this moment, time is counted: for cans with a volume of 500 ml, a sufficiently processing with hot steam from 7 to 10 minutes. If the banks are new, then 5 minutes. For cans with a volume of 1 liter, it will take 15 minutes. If you put a 3 liter bottle, then the time of sterilization of cans in a slow cooker is 30-40 minutes.
10. As soon as the time expires, carefully so as not to burn, you need to remove hot jars and put the bottom up on a clean towel.
11. Then carefully get hot covers, you can do this with two forks. Or first drain the water, and then put the lids on a clean plate or towel.
12. Now it remains to wait for the water to drain the walls of the can, turn each jar with a neck up, wait for complete drying. If the blanks still need to be sterilized, then this item can be skipped.

In this way, you can sterilize any containers, for example, glass jars for making homemade yogurt in a slow cooker, children's bottles and cups, nipples, teeters, etc.

Sterilization of cans in a multicooker with conservation

An erroneous opinion that a slow cooker can only be used to prepare various dishes. Sterilization of cans in a slow cooker is much easier than on a stove. We offer to familiarize yourself with a double way to sterilize cans in a slow cooker.

What do you need:

• banks 0.5 ml - 3 pcs.;
• soda - 3 tbsp.;
• water - 3 glasses.

How to sterilize cans in a slow cooker:

• Once again, the process of sterilizing cans in the slow cooker is not necessary again, it does not differ from the previous ones. In short, sterilization of cans in a slow cooker looks like this: banks need to be washed with soda, rinse under the tap. Pour water into the slow cooker, install a pairing container, on top of the jar with a neck down. Next, the program "Steam", processing time-7-10 minutes. Banks need to be hot on a clean towel.

And now we offer to prepare a delicious workpiece for the winter with us and sterilize the salad in a slow cooker.

Ingredients for 3 jars:

• carrots - 3 pcs.;
• fresh cucumbers - 1.5 kg;

To make a marinade, you will need:

• salt and sugar - 2 tbsp.;
• vegetable oil - 125 ml;

How to make a salad for the winter and sterilize cans in a slow cooker:

1. Cucumbers need to be cut into strips, grate the carrots to cook Korean carrots. If there is no such object, use an ordinary grater with large notches.
2. We make a marinade: mix salt with sugar, add vinegar and oil, seasoning at will (for carrots “in Korean”), you need to skip the garlic through the press or grate with small notches.
3. Pour the prepared vegetables with marinade, mix. We send to a cold place for 12 hours (in the refrigerator). From time to time, at least every 3 hours, mix the salad.
4. We completed sterilization of cans in a slow cooker in advance, now we need to put the salad with the marinade in banks.
5. Now put a kitchen towel on the bottom of the multicooker bowl, it needs to be folded several times and put jars. Each jar must be covered with a lid.
6. Next, pour water to the level into the multicooker bowl to the level so that the banks are “over the shoulders” in the water.
7. To sterilize cans in a slow cooker, you need to enable the Baking program or set the program manually 100 ^aboutC (mode "Multiper").
8. For half -liter jars, 10 minutes of sterilization are enough. After the signal, you need to carefully get hot jars and immediately roll up with lids, then turn upside down, wrap it with something warm and leave until completely cooled.
