Thanks; I also add vinegar to water when putting jars in a water bath or using the pressure canner.Bayvistafarm wrote: ↑Sun Sep 29, 2019 9:02 pmyears later, I know... but when I blanch beans or boil my jars for pickling, I add a wee bit of vinegar in the water, and voila. No residue on jars/pans.
I was referring to blanching beans and greens for freezing; that is when I get the residue around the pot at the water line. It happens after blanching a few batches.
Since then, I have found that to clean it, I use my CAERAN All-Purpose Cleaner and some baking soda. It works really well.
