Dry Canning Beans And Rice For Long Term Storage (How To)

@@CountryLivingExperience I agree with this comment. I watched many videos on dry canning beans, but your video was easy to understand and didn't make me feel like it was that hard. 1 question I do have is, "do you remove the rings once the seals are good? Thanks

[@michelegregory7272]

@@neppieb If the seal is good, there’s no reason to leave rings on canned goods.

[@evil1by1]

@@neppieb you shouldn't leave the rings on. If a seal is going to fail you *want* it to fail and you want to know, you don't want a ring helping to hide a seal failure. If a ring is on tight enough you can get a seal failure and reseal but it's contaminated at that point and not safe to eat.

@8:44 you go from talking about placing jars back in the oven to Lids, you said put lids in for last 15 min of process. You never gave length of time for the process, I watched a couple of times to make sure. thanks for the great video.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Thanks. The product stays in the oven for 30 minutes min in the unsealed jar. The lids go in for the last 15 minutes of the entire process. So the total time ,including the original 15 minutes for jar sterilization, is 45 minutes. Hope that helps.

[@kirkwaggoner7573]

@10:19 he says "Half an hour is done, the timer just went off", so 15 min. sterilization, 15 min start of run before lids go in, 15 min. to finish.

I’ve been doing this for a while now, however, the only thing I do is stick my good dry goods in the freezer for 72 hours and then I use my vacuum sealer with the Mason jar adapter to vacuum seal them, works like a charm.

​@@TexasScoutYeah, that's a problem if it's not properly dried before being repackaged/ vacuum sealed.

[@ethereal369]

And unfortunately, freezing won't kill C. botulinum spores. Only pressure + heat for sufficient time will eradicate C. botulinum spores, which are most often found in low acid foods like meat, fish, vegetables, grains and even honey.

[@TexasScout]

@ That doesn’t work well for rice and beans. I just want to kill insects. I have never heard of botulism in dried beans or rice.

[@theresalogsdon765]

You dont pick your beans?. You know pouring them out on a Pan or Towel and remove the Debris before Canning? Sometimes, it's just broken beans, a rock or a piece of the Stem from the plants. Most have some, others alot and some none. That was passed down to me as a rule for Dry Canning Beans from Gma and Mom. Nothing wrong with not. But thought everyone did this. Lol.

Hello! Just wanted to give an update 2 years later on that massive dry canning session I did. It was a tremendous success! Here is a more in depth list of everything I canned. Red and white quinoa, white, brown and basmati rice, white flour, cornmeal, green split peas, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, pasta, bulgar wheat, mung beans, white beans, pinto beans, the 13 bean mix from bobs red mill and a few other things. Fantastic success!! Out of everything I canned and it was well over a hundred quart size jars, I lost about 20. The cornmeal did not keep it's seal, I had been checking my jars semi frequently and about 6 months in when I checked again the seals had popped open and I had visitors. Also lost some of my white flour. Seemed like the ones that I put in wide mouth jars didn't keep their seal. Overall fantastic success! This has changed the way I approach my food storage and shop in bulk on sale. Thank you! And input on the failures would be awesome if you have time ❤️

Beans have no natural enemies to keeping them in storage as long as u keep them dry and rodent proof, they contaminate them because that’s what they do, pintos, light reds, ect, will get darker as they age and continue to dry.

Florida is tough for this type of method, especially in the summer. 1/2 gallons need at least an hour but that is with a bean with less moisture.

I loved your video. It’s nice to have the “why.” I canned beans and brown rice today. I followed your method, except I used 1/2 gallon jars instead of quarts. Everything “Popped” sealed, but by the time I got the last jar done. I noticed the other jars had moisture buildup up on the inside of the jar. Are these beans and rice ruined?

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Thank you. The jar that got moisture in it will have to be completely redone. It must have cooled a bit before you got the lid on or didn’t seal properly.

[@sheilajarboe4437]

Country Living Experience: A Homesteading Journey What am I doing wrong? Everyone of them sealed. But they have moisture in them. The moisture left, the next day but the beans are wrinkled, which leads me to believe it’s in the beans. What should I do? If you can help it would be great.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

@@sheilajarboe4437 It sounds like it is the beans. They are not dry. I would try to dehydrate them in a food dehydrator before trying again. That is the only thing I can think of. Store bought dried beans should not be doing that.

[@johngraham6839]

@@CountryLivingExperience You also used larger jars. Another video says to "cook" for 90 minutes if you use a 1/2 gallon jar since there is so much more material. Also, like when you make jerky, crack the oven door for a little while at the end to let any pent up moisture vent from the oven. I just use a wood spoon to prop it open the last 10 - 15 minutes.

Great video. I have canned for ages and never knew about this. Hey check out Castle Hives. Great Bee Keeping channel

Thanks! Will do! Bees are in my future.

I do dry canning without an oven and no heat. So easy, so fast. I put my dry product in the canning jars and pop in an oxygen absorber and the jars self-seal. You can kill larvae by freezing the product first before putting in a canning jar. Done! No electricity used for sealing jars. My food has been stored that way for more than 5 years with no bugs, no mold, etc....no issues. :)

[@CountryLivingExperience]

That is a good way to do it as well although a different process. (the freezer still uses electricity though ;-) Thanks for sharing.

[@littleladybugpatch]

@@CountryLivingExperience *No electricity used in sealing my jars...My freezer is always on and always being used anyways...my oven is not. ;) But great info on the oven canning. ;)

[@hollykostera7826]

I too, just vacuum seal the dry goods in my mason jars without heating first. Also, you really don't have to freeze first either because the bugs can't survive in the vacuum sealed jar. I have never had an issue!

[@littleladybugpatch]

@@hollykostera7826 Amen! I don't freeze all of my product before dry canning...but I do freeze it if I can't get to it right away. 😊

Cool

Wow! You packed a whole lot of info in 12 minutes! I'm going to check out your list of dry foods that can be preserved this way. It was super easy to understand and I really appreciate you dispelling myths about canning this way, as well as the science behind it. I'm not especially smart and it takes me FOREVER to learn anything. It's really frustrating for me and I can't do anything about it....it's just the way it is for me. This method is so simple, a kid could do this. I just hope I can find all the stuff to do this.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

Glad we could help. Be careful with the beans. They are extremely difficult sometimes because of the amount of moisture they hold. I usually vacuum seal them.

[@marybass9566]

I tried to dry can store bought dried black eyed peas today, but the the jars kept showing moisture.....I washed my jars and put them in the oven for thirty minutes.....do you think the store bought peas just had soaked up a lot of moisture in the store? I tried 3 times, and still had moisture, so I just have them in a big pan , on the counter, drying out..... Any suggestions for what I need to do?

For flour that has been in the freezer ck to see how long it needs to be at room temperature before dry canning. Just in case there is moisture.

[@christinabenner1272]

This will be my first year growing and canning. I was seriously beginning to think you couldn't do dry goods. Thank you for this video. If I had to use a pressure cooker to do this method what would it consist of? I currently only have a convection oven. Also if the USDA has come out and said that you can safely can dry goods, why are so many people still saying you can't?

[@skepticaloptimist1917]

I bought some corn and seed feed for squirrels and after a few months in a galvanized steel can I opened it up and it was about one third insects. Come to find out that the insect larvae are imbedded in the dry corn and hatch out when they are ready. The cure (or prevention rather) is to freeze the feed for at least four days and all the larvae die. I just keep the bag in the deep freeze and take out batches as needed. Point of the story is that the larvae come with the product and need to be dealt with.

On the exploding jars. This actually comes from Ball: "the complete book of home preserving". Ovens do not heat in a consistent way so you can get hot spots on the jars, which is what causes them to explode.

[@melindahernandez8778]

Hello, can you answer these 3 questions for me 1) Do you preheat the oven and then put the jars in for 15 minutes 2) After filling the jars set the oven at 250° for another 15 minutes( you stated quarts jars only need 30 minutes)? Or do you set the oven for 30 minutes at 250° when you put the jars in initially? Thank you.

[@CountryLivingExperience]

1. Yes 2. Product in the jars and in the oven for 30 min at 250f

I use my Harvest Right freeze drier. I put the jars in the freeze drier and turn the vacuum on and it seals the jars reaaly good. No chance of anything living in them.

[@TheDealfinder500]

I tried oven canning when I first saw an article about it in Countryside Magazine a good 10 years ago. I tried it with a lot of things, specifically crackers and dry cereal (they were mentioned in the article). I never had good results - those things went stale within a couple months. Additionally, the heat is going to degrade the quality of the food. It seems to me that it would be far easier and much more effective to just use an o2 absorber and a food saver attachment for the jars.
