"The canning jar has to be hot because the green beans are very hot. If we poured those boiling green beans into a cold jar, it’s going to break. We have to be careful when we’re doing this kind of work. We don’t want to get burned with jars that break with boiling water. Not good news. You don’t want to boil the green beans too long because they will lose firmness. You want to get a lot of them inside your jar- as much as you can. And then you fill with extra water so it’s completely full. Then you close the lid- not too tight. And you get it in the pressure cooker. "

on 8/2/2008 I have to politely disagree with this procedure for canning beans. The beans should be added to the jar first leaving 1 inch of HEAD SPACE (this is important for expansion so jar doesn't break. Then add water to fill leaving again 1 inch of HEAD SPACE. This video procedure, in my humble opinion is flawed.
