Thanks to the extra coaching from DelaWhere, I dry canned my 1st batch of beans and rice yesterday. It was pretty easy. My 16 year old son got in on the action, filling jars, loading and unloading them from the oven. Unfortunately, he wasn’t home to hear the pinging from the kitchen as they cooled. What a delightful sound.

Neat! I have mine all filled and ready to go. So it worked just as described then? I also have some oxygen absorbers that I ordered before getting DW's instructions, so I guess I might as well use them too since they don't last forever.

LOL Really, CB, GG would NOT give you a bum steer...

You can use the O2 absorbers if you want, but they really aren’t needed... If it were me, I would save them for something else...

Oh, Welcome back!

Putting up the rice and beans was sooooo easy. My only regret is I could only fit 12 jars in the oven on a cookie tray. Maybe if I used one with no sides I could fit a few more jars in there. My jars are all tucked away on a shelf for later use. DW did tell me to put the lids and rings on loosely when putting the jars in the oven, then tighten them down when you take them out. Then just listen for the “music”.
