About sandwich ideas - I don't always make a proper sandwich. My favorite thing is a slce of sourdough lightly toasted in a toaster oven, spread mayo, top with cheddar cheese and freshly ground pepper, then back in the toaster oven. Once the cheese os melted I pile it high with sauerkraut (or my fermented curtido, nice and spicy). This is very satisfying but not super heavy, perfect for lunch. Some people might do beans on cheese toast. Or a tuna melt, or just add tomato and some leftover bacon. I guess two slices of bread is too much for me, I prefer the inside stuff, even if it's mostly veg.

@ranmyaku43813 ай бұрын
I would say canning store bought meatballs isn't the best idea. Unless you can guarantee there is no breadcrumbs, starch or grains or dairy (rice for example) you are risking you life if you do. To safely preserve your food without risk of botulism (or other health risks like salmonella etc) requires a specific amount of pressure and temperature for a prelonged period of time. Meat can be hot packed which requires cooking the meat to an extent but it is not recommended you go beyond 2/3 of the way cooked (just to medium rare). Liquid must also used in these circumstances to achieve the uniform heating and pressure for safety's sake. Safe canning which was tested to ensure the proper processing time, heat and pressure indicates this consistentymay not occur when these types of ingredients are used as it can interfere with the uniform heat and pressure. People do take a chance when ignoring this advice but it should really be noted in your videos as people new to canning may not understand this is not because of dietary preference but safety.
