      People have been doing hot water bath canning at home for well over a century. It works great for acidic foods like tomatoes or pickled vegetables. It’s pretty safe if you follow the USDA Guide to Home Canning.

        That’s true, I love taking a hot water bath, and it’s been completely safe so far

          Then you are doing it wrong! Follow the guidance, get that water to 100c, or someone eating you will get a food poisoning!
