Canning Flour!

[@cherylpemberton1676]

I learned to dry can from this video a few years ago and it has worked for me ever since. A tip for those who do not have a freezer - get your flour, etc. in the winter time. Leave it outside in a critter and weather safe place and let it freeze for a week or so before canning. Some people will put the lids on loosely before putting in the oven. I have found that putting the jars in the oven with no lids on will let moisture escape much better.

[@adessachui7777]

Jackie, I just found this out today. I have moisture in my flour. Can I re-can it or should I throw it out? I also didn't hear any pings today except one.

Wow. I didn't know you could can flour and I'm 66 yrs.old. I've been gardening, canning, freezing and dehydrating since I got married at the age of 17. I raised 2 children and I'm now retired. With all that's going on in our world today I still do a great deal of prepping. The less I get out and around people with this virus the safer I feel. So it's important that I have a well stocked pantry. You can rest assure that I will be adding this to my prepping. Thanks for the video

I always like watching your videos. Thank you for everything you share. When we were prepping we would open up the top of our bags of flour a little bit then vacuum seal them . They were sealed so good they were like a brick. Then we stored them in a container. Used one 4 years later and fresh as new. We quit prepping and gave all our food away. I do miss it though , not because I feel we need the food , but I really enjoyed doing it. It is a lot of fun to do.

This is an older post but may I ask exactly how you vacuum sealed the bags? Were they paper or plastic? Did you put the bags inside another bag to vacuum seal? Thank you for responding.

Bev, ouch, I hope you know that rinsing your burns with milk will take out the sting and sooth it when you first get a burn, then later use oatmeal soap for washing your hands. The oatmeal soap was the only thing I could bath with for more than six months with my full body burns. It really works. Also if blister is raised or seeping and extremely painful, I soaked my wash cloth and squeezed to let the soap drop above and gently wash over the burns without touching them, then applied aloe or first aid ointment to prevent infection. Very important to prevent infection, your immune system is already compromised. Great idea for saving flour, next time, best wait for papa to help. Hugs

[@miriambelanger7292]

First, thank you for the video, it is really good, great tips. And may I suggest to you that next time you burn your skin during canning or any other activity using heat do not apply anything to it, no cold water, no ice, nothing, but . . . Just wrap the affected area with clingy plastic wrap in a way that no air or oxygen comes through to the burned area. Leave it for fifteen minutes, then remove the plastic for a few minutes, then do it again. Repeat the process as needed until the burn hurts no more. That’s all you need to do. If you have no plastic wrap you may use aluminum foil the same way, cutting off the oxygen supply to the combustion in your skin. That’s how a fire or a combustion is put out, by cutting off the oxygen supply to it. But, remember, with aluminum foil, it being a metal, You must remove it every five minutes and let it cool off because it will get hot from heat transferred to it from the burned or hot skin. Try it next time, and if you are happy with it, pass it along. You may do a video on it. It is recommended to always have clingy plastic wrap and or aluminum foil in the home and in the car for first aid when skin is burned accidentally.

Great. You can do beans, noodles, crackers, rice, oats , just to name a few including all the dehydrated foods that you can make yourself. You could put sugar and salt in Quart jars, but I never bother because salt and sugar may get hard but it can be hammered to break pieces off if needed. You gotta have salt....It can be used in an emergency to preserve meat without electricity and tan/preserve skins and fur including many other uses. We been doing it for a while and it was nice to sit back knowing that we had enough while others went to stores panicking. For a while we gave away quarts of rice and other things to friends and family while all this was going on. We have a revolving pantry.....older things come from the pantry and the pantry becomes our shopping center and new stuff goes into the pantry when we go shopping.

My flour is in the oven as I type this. 5lb of flour fit (2) 1/2 gal jars. So with that in mind, a qt would be 1.25 lbs. (disclaimer: depends also on how much you tap it down and what headspace you have. you may come up a little bit short) I tapped pretty hard.

Is dry canning more effective than vacuum sealing with a food saver?

[@katdee224]

Even food safe BPA free plastic leeches over time. Endocrine disruptors are no joke. Glass is the way to go 🤞

[@ItchyMilk]

There's the vacuum seal attachment that allows you to seal jars. I was wondering if I could do that instead of oven canning and still not have bugs.

[@mrsdragnfly]

@@ItchyMilk I have had better success with the seal lasting dry canning. Idk why

[@dumpableaccount]

Leslie Habeck I’d guess because you need the heat to soften the sealing ring for a proper seal.

New videos coming this week!!

[@alisonburgess345]

I was shocked when some wheat I’d stored had clearly been chomped by weevils. I pop all my grains in the freezer for a while now. Nice vid - thanks!

[@Qadashs_Rib]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! ♡♡ I'm very appreciative! I have some questions, will I need to use all the flour after opening right away or is there even a time frame or will it still stay fresh ?

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

I just open them up..put it through the food processor with the S blade ( it can be lyumpy) then dump it into my flour cannister! Use up within a month

[@carolhaley3339]

You are so sweet thanks for all the help.

[@GenXautrucity]

I subscribed, love how you explain while performing the task. I am new to storing foods and very curious about canning - jarring. Could you do this technic with cereal like cornflakes or captain crunch or could you vacuum seal?

[@OurHalfAcreHomestead]

I'm not sure but I know some people do it with cookies so you can try. Try a small batch and see if it works by doing it and then when it cools opening it to see if you got a good seal and if the cereal is still edible

[@bettyc.parker-young1437]

Excellent!!!!

[@rebeccashetter2309]

Great video; Thank You!!! Can I dry can cake mixes, pancake, waffle mixes, sugar, and brown rice. Thanks new subscriber. I may not have any tatoo's but still enjoy looking at others. Don't let people upset you; we are very grateful for the time and effort you put into making these self-help videos. God Bless...

[@DeborahLynn1963]

It is my understanding that as long as the mixes do not have any ingredients with oil you can dry can them. They go rancid if they have oil in them. It is also my understanding that you should never store your canned good with the rings on them nor should you store them stacked right on top of each other. The reason for that is if they come unsealed for some reason you would never know untill it is to late. You should do a check of your canned goods every so often to make sure they are still sealed and in good condition. If you have wet canned, tomatoes, green beans, soup ect, it is especially important not to leave the rings on and not to stack the jars right on top of each other for the same reason, botulism can form and make you very sick or even kill you. This is a good video explaining the reasons for not stacking or leaving the rings on: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4LMaZ6Xl52KrqM Sharing is caring, it could save a life. Share this info with family and friends who can.

[@cookiemama4]

greeneyes1963 Surely we can stack jars in boxes, right? If I can't stack, I won't have much room to store. . What should I do? Thanks. .

[@MinkesMom]

I read brown rice does not last as long in jars / mylar as it has more oil than white rice. :(

[@icegoddess1308]

cookiemama4 you can stack them in the boxes. Personally, I always leave the rings on my jars. I like the way they look and I feel better when the edge of the lid is protected from anything possibly getting hooked on it and messing with the seal. If a jar lid just comes right off then it wasn’t sealed and I don’t use it. I also tap the lids before I use them or just to check them.

[@LC.1990]

Great video I am wondering about stacking them though. Isn't that discouraged?
