“Just remember to chunk away any cans that are not sealed. You can tell these by noticing a lid bulging. Also store in dark room. Cooler the better.”
I use Tattler lids, and they just come right off if not sealed. I check them at least every few months, okay I try to do it every few months - it’s more like every 6 months.
I have them in the basement, that’s as cool as it gets here. But dark, thanks for reminding me! The basement is just a big open room right now and we will add walls. That’ll help a lot, putting the food storage in its own room.
Would you be interested in doing a topic on canning? Or anything else you are interested in?
"Would you be interested in doing a topic on canning? Or anything else you are interested in?"
Throwing my 2¢ in.
I suggest that "Home Canning" would be an excellent weekly topic for us.
I know it has been discussed on older threads and posts but I think it would be an interesting topic for people currently active on this thread.
There are a lot of sub-topics to discuss and share information about:
❶ How-To Do It
❷ Equipment
❸ Jars and Lids
❹ Recipes
❺ Personal techniques and experiences
Pretty Exciting Stuff Right? ☺

PS: Here is a whacky and scary 2021 Free-Repub thread:
"Check out Facebook's warning that interest in food preservation might be a sign of extremism"
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3991026/posts
The original Facebook page is gone but the Free-Repub Thread and posts are still here.
Imagine the state of mind to conclude that people who prepare and preserve their own food instead of looting grocery stores are possible extremists!
I don't know if we should laugh or buy more ammo!
