Pressure canning bacon

[pearlman1966]

Any body here ever done it?
I found a good deal on bacon at GFS .Was going to freeze it but wanted to know what needs to be done so I don 't kill myself when eating it.

I watched this but I think I would feel a bit more comfortable if I knew someone who tried it or at least found it in a ball blue book.

All food pressure canned is cooked. Under pressure you are taking the temperature up higher than the boiling point to kill botulism spoors. This temp is held for 75-90 minutes. If sealed properly the contents are sterile and quite cooked.
