SausageMaker(tm) makes all stainless steel dehydrators. The only parts not ss are the electrical. I have owned one of theirs since 2006 and am very pleased.

I think they just weren’t seal properly. I am sure it happens. I have a good number of cans much older, but they are all in good shape.

That's a recipe for disaster. Ouch.

The last of the Civil War hardtack was finally used in the Spanish American war. There were a LOT of complaints.
Nothing but the best for our troops.

I would have used those tomatoes without question.

And watch out for acidic foods. Ive had sauerkraut eat its way out. Kind of smelly. Yep. At our house a big can of pineapple juice exploded inside a cabinet last year. What a mess!

“Im sure it was because of the mayo in the potato salad.”
No. Back before companies had to put dates on cans, I called Hellman's Mayonnaise company to ask about mayonnaise. They said the reason mayo went bad many years ago, was, companies used uncooked eggs. Today, all ingredients are pasteurized. Many people still believe mayo is a killer due to that history, but mayo is safe to be in potato salad and taken on a picnic or at a party or a church social - safe taken anywhere. Treat it as you would treat any fresh food.

Hey Kart, being at 6,000' in altitude probably contributes a little to that. I know everything I open here wants to explode.
My dog's ball stays nice an inflated here. When we visit the folks in Idaho, the ball tends to go a bit flat. The first time it happened, I thought she'd finally punctured it, but we brought it back home and it firmed back up.

I lived off of rations (1974-1977) that were canned in the late 1940's before, during, and after the Korean War. As a veterinary food inspector we had to statistically sample and evaluate rations in Class 9 storage and either pass or fail them. I always had plenty of cigarettes, crackers, coffee, sugar and P-38s on hand. The citrus items were just about all condemned in the storage but the meat, cakes, crackers, and dehydrated items passed the wholesomeness tests about 90% of the time.
In 1983 I had the honor of condemning the water, crackers, and canned foods stored in fallout shelters in and about Knoxville, Tennessee, that were stored before 1953. Even then some of them were still wholesome and edible.

Thanks for the link. I’ll find it very helpful. I usually can stuff, but have been wanting to do more dyhrating because of storage, as well as not having everything in cans or glass jars.

We had some tomato products go bad as well. I decided to get rid of several sliced tomato cans and several tomato sauce cans as well. Only one was swollen, but all had the use by date within a couple of weeks.

I don’t believe the newer food containers, including cans, last as long as they use to. I’ve saved a few intact pop cans in which the contents leaked through the seal. About half the distilled water jugs I’ve purchased leak before their “Best by” date. Some of the house brand peanut butter jars I’ve bought recently have had a very short shelf life.
