Food Storage Tips--Canning, Farming, ETC.** OFFICIAL THREAD***

Seeing as it's an official thread, if I do something recommended here and I die, can I sue you ?

sorry, no need for that.

Fantastic idea. I've been wanting to do this anyway. I have a great big pot (not a canning pot) that I was planning to use. I heard I can put a towel in the bottom to keep the jars from knocking or buy a rack to put in there. Anyone on here ever do it that way before?

No, but I want to learn to can also. I've wanted to for awhile, I see now it is a dire thing to learn.

If anyone has some good sites or other references, let us know.

IN the meantime, I am gonna go get my mason jars before they too rise in cost!

Because you can.
Thousands of tips and recipes on this site.

You can as long as you sue the OP in person.

ummm...anything in this thread is to be used at your discretion only

ya lol. i think that oughta keep me outta trouble.

This is all a hot water canner is. A big pot. Racks make it a helluv alot easier to get the jars out, but as long as your pot is deep enough to cover the tops of the jars thats all you need.

Sealing rings are a problem. Modern ones are good for one time only. Some people used to use parrafin wax to seal jars also.

Does anyone know where to find the sealing lids that aren't made in china? Also, I do not want the reusable plastic tattler lids as the company says not to use them for long term storage?

If you need a source for long term food storage this is it. You can get a free 9 serving sample pack and only pay shipping of about $6. They sell various size packages at wholesale which comes to less than $1.00 a serving and you can even earn more free food. The food is almost restaurant quality and has a 15 year shelf life.

hot water canning and pressure canning are two different animals.
