Instant Pot Max Series User Manual

All food used for canning should be poured into sterile, empty jars. Always check your jars, lids,
and seals for chips and other imperfections. Sterilization of jars should occur just before filling.
Excess contact with the air should be avoided for safe canning.
Steps to Sterilization Before Canning

Ensure there are no cracks or imperfections in the jars or lids.
