Duncan,

Different foods require different methods. Acidic foods can be 
processed with only a boiling bath canning method. Less acidic foods 
and meats must be pressure canned. The pressure combined with heat 
insures the best method of killing bacteria and preventing spoilage.  
To be safe, I use pressure canning on all my edibles - acidic or not.
