Pâtés Prepared in an Autoclave
Thanks to modern preservation methods, you can prepare any pâté in a home autoclave: from meat, liver, and fish, with the addition of unusual spices, vegetables, and other ingredients. Autoclaving allows you to preserve the properties and safety of the finished product for a long time.
Canning Pâté in an Autoclave
The main advantage of pâté is its composition. Ready-made products based on liver are especially beneficial: they normalize metabolic processes, improve skin and bones, and are good for vision. If the liver content in the pâté is more than 50%, the product will benefit the brain and spinal cord. Pâté contains collagen, vitamins A, E, C, B12, and B6, as well as a range of minerals and acids.
Any pâté recipe for an autoclave involves sterilizing the sealed jars under specific temperature conditions. To make it convenient for the reader, we have prepared a universal autoclaving table for all common types of pâtés. But first, it is important to explain that any sterilization consists of three phases:
- Heating to the recommended sterilization temperature.
- Sterilization (carried out for the recommended time).
- Cooling for jar removal (usually cooled to 30 degrees Celsius).
Our table provides recommendations for the first two phases: namely, the recommended temperature and processing time:
| Name | Jar, L | Sterilization Temperature, °C | Sterilization Duration, Min |
|---|---|---|---|
| Meat Pâté | 0.350-1 | 113-115 | 30-40 |
| Chicken Pâté | 0.350-1 | 112-114 | 30-35 |
| Fish Pâté | 0.350-1 | 115 | 25-30 |
| Rabbit Pâté | 0.350-1 | 115 | 30 |
| Pork Pâté | 0.350-1 | 115 | 40 |

Afterward, finely chop all the ingredients, add olive oil, spices, and salt (thyme and nutmeg are good spices). The final step is to distribute the pâté into jars, seal them, and sterilize.
