Re: using pressure cooker to can raw food
My canned stews are all assembled raw. This is in accordance with current guidelines and it's perfectly safe. Remember that during pressure canning the stew is being cooked at very high heat for a long time. Nothing is going to come out raw. Just follow a tested recipe (ball or ncfhp) and make sure you use a pressure canner (not waterbath!) and it will be fine.
