How about more articles on canning...

foods like chicken, pork, etc.

can dry foods such as cereal, pasta, flour, rice etc. be pressure sealed.., NOT cooked just preserved so as to keep out the bugs that seem to come from nowhere if left in original containers.

after a year in storage, my wife opened a 5 lb. bag of flour and it was full of weevils, same with a few boxes of dry cereal.

people say rotate your stock, but if you do little baking, it's not a stretch that a 5 lb. bag of flour will become "BUG" infested ! then the lard or shortening like Crisco will become so rancid it will be unusable.

we need a cooking instructor or preservation expert for the "nuclear option" times.

members, please add your experiences of food preservation......., even WATER !!

BP-
I doubt we'll be running another article on canning in the near future. Doyle give good advice about going to a site that is specific to your needs.

Here you go.

It is a closed group, so you'll have to request to join before you get to see anything good.

When I wrote the article on canning meat, it was intended to get people's interest in meat preservation, not a total guide on how to can. Having said that, canning most meats is similar, if not identical to what I described for venison. There is a plethora of good canning books on the market, along with the forums. Glad you like the article.
