I have of heard of this but never tried it and probably never will. In WB steam or pressure canning the even temperature and sustained time is partof what makes the home canned or commercially canned food safe. My crummy oven can't bake a cake evenly so temps could vary widely from front to back and side to side. The only thing my oven murders is the items that have to turn out well. A friends mom canned in her oven however it was only a recipe for a yummy fruit cake done in the jars and saved for the holidays. It turned out beautiful.Wannabefree said:Just for the sake of arguement since everyone seems to be thoroughly enjoying arguing in this thread Who oven cans, and how, and wouldn't that be better anyway? You can surely reach well above botulism murdering temps in an oven. Anybody got the scoop on the logistics of that? I wanna can meats, and I hate pressure canners...thought maybe I could find an alternative in oven canning. Go!
