Legal Issues. Many states have laws in place that prevent the sale of puppies younger than 6 weeks old. There are 17 states that require a pup to be at least 8 weeks of age before you adopt him out and one state that specifies pups be at least 7 weeks of age, according to the Michigan State University Animal Legal & Historical Center.
If you like the idea of pressure cooking AND canning, you can have the best of both worlds by buying a pressure cooker/canner (with pressure gauge) and using it for canning, as well as to pressure cook your meals. However, as mentioned above, pressure canners are very large and heavy to handle, and bulky to store.
I always reuse my bands but I take good care of them. After canning and cooling the jar completely (12 to 24 hours), I wash and dry them well. Sometimes they catch food from a jar that boils out and you want to clean it well before it rusts. Store the bands in a dry place for next use.nly time I re-use my lids is when I am canning water. When I am canning something and my canner isn't full I will can a quart of water using my old lids. IF it doesn't seal that's ok it's just water. I ONLY do this in my pressure canner and I have never yet to have one that didn't seal.
