Prepper Series - How to Dry Can Beans and Rice (This controls bugs and larvae in food stores)

IF YOU HAVE MOISTURE IN JARS AFTER SEALING, DO THIS: NOTHING!!
The moisture will re-absorb in a few hours after cooling!
UPDATE: March 21, 2020
Our Little Homestead!
PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING AS I"M GETTING HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMMENTS:
1.) I DID BUY a pair of silicone gloves and they work great! Thanks for the 1000 comments on best gloves to buy for heat canning!
2.) Hand in jar comments: Please STOP and read -- This method is not about 'sterilization' as nothing is sterile unless it goes through 'time, steam and pressure', like a pressure canner or hospital auto-clave.
3.) Note: This video is about killing larvae that can attack your pantry food stores.
4.) Other methods you may try: You can freeze dry goods for 3-6 days as well, not killing it for seed. Heat does kill the seed for planthing later on...don't use this method if you are planning to plant the dry goods in a garden later. Use the O2s or vacuum sealer for using as seed.
5.) These dry goods will go through the oven after you TOUCHED the jars or product ... you can't have water left in the jars and you MUST check for this ... many did not do this step and regretted it, as moisture built up in their jars and their product turned to mush on top
6.) SOME MOISTURE is okay after taking out of oven, product will re-absorb the moisture. But if moisture is still in jar after cooling, open jar and let product air dry and vacuum seal. You did the job of killing the larva. Seal in a way you would like.
7.) I used that jar of beans and I'm still standing! LOL!
So to answer it in short.
Be clean.
My hands used clorox wipes all over the kitchen.
And, remember, if were not for germs, we'd all be dead!
TRUTH!
Some germs you don't want to kill. We have germs on us that keep us alive and fight off the bad bacteria.
You don't want to kill that. So, touching the beans is not valid here.
The beans were dirty off the combines and factory belts, into the semis, and onto store shelf before I got it...
it's why we pressure can food in cans and jars...
The best you can hope for in oven DRY GOODS canning to store for long-term is SANITIZED or CLEAN situation with no larva left alive to breed in your pantry.
I hope this makes sense.
I could put a mouse in a canning jar and pressure can it...and I could eat it. The most you can do in oven canning is to KILL IT! but the meat would still rot inside the jar if not pressure canned correctly. Gross yes, but true.
Thank you for your questions! God Bless and be safe!

I'm 72 years old and I have never found larvae in my beans or rice, no matter how long I have had them.

[@amathonn]

Let me offer another method. As a beekeeper, we sometimes have to deal with a pest called the wax moth. Their larvae are so strong they actually burrow into the wood of the hive. Easiest way to kill them is by putting the equipment in a deep freeze for 3 days. When wife and I buy flour we usually buy 3 bags or more and I do the same thing with the flour. Don't open the packages, but wrap 'em in plastic grocery bags, freeze t hem, and then when you take them out of the freezer after 3 days, place them in a chest cooler for a day so they warm gradually without condensation. Oila...no bugs, easy peasy.

[@lauriintheloop5121]

I just got done using this method for rice, hoping in fact that it did kill any bug larvae. I'm assuming it wouldn't be a good idea to put the canned jars in the freezer now for double insurance in fear that it will break the seal?

[@mariagee1233]

love this idea. my mom put flour in thr freezer in florida

[@wheepingwillow24u17]

And do you then put them into jars? So no heating jars and all that?

[@CultJam999]

@Andrew D, After using the freezing method to kill the bugs, would dry canning still be advisable to keep shelf stable for extended amount of time?

[@chytealthedeal]

So, I can take the whole bag of rice, put it in a plastic grocery bag, put it in the deep freezer for 3 days, and that kills the bugs and larvae? Can I do that with rice, beans, flour, grits and oatmeal? Thank you.

[@ullab784]

I live in a big city and at first I thought: Why? But now that you have empty shops in Berlin I understand that well.

[@Rangerfan-gz1rx]

Hopefully this situation will wake people up and make them realize just how unprepared we are for something like this that can happen at any time. Everyone needs to have at least a couple of weeks worth of food and essentials stocked up for the next time something like this happens, and there will be a next time.

[@nathanielsizemore8594]

If the jar is not full, on the vacuum seal,you can put a marshmallow on top of your beans or rice. The marshmallow will greatly increase in size. When the vacuum is lost, the marshmallow will return to original size, letting you see the vacuum was lost.

[@livinglife8333]

Wow who else would love to have that kitchen 😕👍🏻

[@survivalistmd2989]

We are eating 10 year old rice and beans and can't tell them apart from new.

[@laurafall7846]

I'm starting to do mine tomorrow! I am stoked!

[@jaymers25]

Wow!

[@pew9277]

SurvivalistMD We have beans from 20 years ago we canned. We canned a lot of beans. They're just like freshly canned. Home canned food will actually last longer than store bought. They don't taste like the metal cans. Take care.

[@pew9277]

Oh forgot to tell you ours were green beans. We also can pintos. We wash them 3 times, then let them sit over night in water to swell them so they won't swell in the can. Then can them. They last a very long time. We also can pork and beans.

[@darlenebradley6756]

I have similar stores...it's funny how squeamish people can be about this sort of thing! I also dehydrate tomatoes, eggplant, apples, green beans....it's great fun!

[@MsBestsunshine]

I learned from my grannies to put several bay leaves in jars filled with rice beans dry herb and spice to deter bugs 🐜 !

[@debslifesimplified6406]

That is what I have used for years in my tupperware.

[@ok2x]

can bugs get in sealed jars? if no then why would you put bay leaves in jars

Good job! Back in the day I used to can over 3000 quarts from our land which fed us all winter. But I am alone now, and this dry canning is brilliant! I could do dry goods in pints and not worry about critters. Thanks!

Thank you!

[@elsea8901]

Thank you so much!! I’m having to do all my learning and prepping on the way down low because my family does not see the value in it and it looks like paranoia to them. Even beyond being prepared I find it a fascinating process and amazing that food can be stored for so long...God forbid that it should ever be needed in emergency- but in case it does, I thank you on behalf of those willfully and woefully unprepared who may be fed by your knowledge passed on to all of us here! thanks again!!! 🙏💪🇺🇸💪🙏

[@jennhill8708]

@@tammy8017 I can use flint & steel. Having char cloth to catch the sparks helps.

[@beebop9808]

You can put the lids on before putting the jars in the oven and tighten the rings firm but not cranked down. They will seal with a great vacuum every time.

[@traceekeeney7942]

Thank you for adding this comment because lids and rings go on for non-dry foods so I was wondering why you couldn't do it for dry foods.

[@PriscillaSwaney]

I always put a towel over the finished sealed jars as I work because of drafts. I let the jars remain underneath the towel until they are completely cooled, usually overnight. This is the way my grandmother did it and we never had cracked jars. If a jar should crack it is a safety measure, will keep glass and contents contained. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@theoldfarmerswife5915]

I believe I heard you say you couldn't vacuum seal fine powders. After several "comical attempts" I was able seal mine, by placing a coffee filter on top, then sealing

[@OurLittleHomestead]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing that great tip!

Excellent! Our shops in Michigan are lots empty. The Egyptains stored grains so well that it has lasted thousands of years sealed in clay pots.

[@rebeccawhippie1947]

I enjoyed your cheering after each pop of the sealed lid. We cheer at our house too for sealing pops of jars. Excellent instructional video. Thank you!

...suggest placing socks over jars for storage.......deters glass breakage...

[@OurLittleHomestead]

Great tip!!

[@Randyo223]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been canning for 40 years and never knew about canning dry beans and rice. Silly me. What a fantastic, informative video. While the masses are stocking up on toilet paper, I'm stocking up on canning jars. I can all my vegys and even can suckers(the fish). Better than tuna. A big hug and a kiss from me. Thanks again.

[@therealborischang]

Bugs add protein. Seriously, bulk bags of rice very often are infested with moths, weevils and their larvae and eggs. Yes indeed.

[@smallfootprint2961]

B edwards...I always give my whole grains/beans, etc, a good wash before use. They have been stored in silos and transported in tank trucks to the distributor to bag up. Bugs,/moths/larva, etc and rodent droppings/pee, and hairs, etc can be in the grain. I pick out stones and wash about 3 times till the water is pretty clear.. Stir around with fingers, let stuff float to the top and pour water off. I just use my hands/fingers.

I put mine in the freezer in zip lock bags (air tight) for 2 days , then pour into a clean NEW 5 gal bucket (get mine at Lowe's) with a screw on air tight lid. Take out a canning jars worth at a time.

[@joshl90]

I’d recommend high heat BBQ gloves with a silicone grip texture when handling the hot jars

[@maggiesue4825]

I have canned beans and rice like this several years ago. They are still in my emergency stockpile. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@lauriintheloop5121]

That's awesome! Do you flash freeze your dried beans before canning? I have around 15 small bags that I probably won't use right away and want to dry can them. Thanks!

[@healthyamerican]

i just did my first three jars of rice. the bubble on two of the lids went down to a flat surface, while the third bubble went down to like a crater dent in the lid. are these all ok or do i need to redo any of them? thanks

[@watsondianne]

I never heard of dry canning for long term storage. I just subscribed and saw so many subjects that interest me. Thank you so much !

[@WitchMisspelled]

May I suggest that before you do dry canning again, you purchase a pair of silicone oven mitts? It will make it easier to handle the hot jars.

[@xDrGeek]

I was thinking the SAME thing!

[@mymoxiehouse5200]

I do the same thing with a Food Saver, which leaves my bean able to be sprouted by still maintains the storage length.

[@pappytron]

I started using the vacuum sealer for sealing jars. But, I have recently found, that a vacuum pump ( a braking bleeding pump, like what you might find at Harbor Freight, works great) is actually easier to use, and is much more affordable than a vacuum sealer. You can even use the bleeder cup, that comes with the bleeder pump, if you are worried about your fine powder goods.

[@teresagarza5341]

Can you do a video vacuum sealing yours jars i would love to watch your video my vaccum sealer broke and there all sold out

[@dlands9420]

Thank you so much. My mother tough me to keep beans and rice in the freezer to keep the bugs from hatching before eating but took up space and sometimes came open making a mess. I've had that style sealer since it came out over 10 years ago. The original canisters stopped working but I didn't know about that canning lid. Thank you for that too. I hope I can still get it.

[@babybooiluvyou]

Hi! I wanted to thank you for making this video so many years ago. I found it about 3 years ago and I have been buying rice in bulk and dry canning it using your method. And oh boy am I glad right now. I have around 10 gallons on my shelf right now. I wish I had bought more beans though. Oh well.

[@sallygordin2869]

Thanks for being a great teacher. I wish I seen this years ago so I would be stocked before 2020 virus hit. Now there are no beans or rice or pasta to be had in my city. Lord bless you!!

[@OurLittleHomestead]

Brooklyngirl1969 Hi! I agree! Any oil would go rancid. I personally have never done that, so I would not suggest it. I have heard of the Bay Leaves in the food, but have not attempted that as well. I would try it if I had no OTHER CHOICE at hand, put it that way! LOL! Being in a tropical climate, I'd run a de-humidifier in the kitchen and would not BOIL water or run dishwasher or even the washing machine and especially a dryer during the 'dry canning process'. People in more humid weather/climates claim to have difficulty dry canning; moisture in jars/dry goods after it seals. You should not have any moisture in the jar. You may need to bake off the moisture in the jars in the oven before sealing a bit longer (don't burn the dry goods but make sure they are DRY before sealing. We may THINK that dry goods from store is completely dry, but any dry food picks up moisture if not sealed, even if in plastic bags. So, buy it and get it sealed up in jars or mylar with oxygen absorbers as quick as possible; again, making sure to dehydrate goods a second time or use oven to do this step if necessary; this is only for humid areas. Practice with one or two jars of dry rice or beans first and see how it works for your area (tropical climate). I know in hurricane that glass breaks; so, if that is your worry, I would use mylar. Also, be sure and store out of the light. Mylar gets rodents where mice can't chew through the glass. But then again, mylar keeps our the light and can be stored in 5-gallon buckets. I never keep food stored by one method in case I lose one group of foods, I still have another group of foods that may have made it. Blessings!!

[@OurLittleHomestead]

+[H]ouse MD, true for the most part, PTO (Pure Tung Oil) will not usually go rancid, any oil can go bad however when adding petroleum/carrier additives to them... where they can trap moisture in the 'wet' form in the can. Your best bet is always to buy 'pure' oils for finishes. For example: Put marbles in your can of finishes so that there is little airspace so the oils do not 'oxidize' when in storage, especially in humid environments. BTW-- we were talking about oils that are consumable for long-term food storage not wood finishes; wet oils that do not dry, like olive oil, vegetable oils, shortenings from veg or animal fats...they are in a constant wet state, those oils, like those in nuts...do go rancid over short periods of time especially in hot humid climates ... but if you want to talk about finishes then your speaking to a professional furniture finisher; I've got 37 years in the 'unfinished furniture/cabinet making' business. I was raised from a young age in my parents 'unfinished' furniture business, selling and finishing unfinished furniture (in the buff). I went on to build and manufacture more than several thousand pcs of furniture in our shoppe where we pumped out a semi load of furniture every two weeks for delivery around the Midwest. The shop is still in business and ran by my ex husband and son who now build beautiful custom kitchen/bath/bar/office furniture. I went on to build custom homes. My father invented the eighties version of the 'seal n sand' brand finish and he invented the Epoxy "Coatings" way back in the early seventies; I was the first person to roller skate on an epoxy garage floor where my father laid an expensive ceramic coatings floor with an epoxy overcoat...later he put down the 'chip' version at the boys' school for the blind and several offices (the pyramids in Indy), King's Island, Castleton Mall, and many hospitals and clinics as they were better for anti-bacterial needs. The floors are still there today, perfect condition. Later, he sold the company and he and my mother bought their first furniture store (wood furniture in the nude). They went on to purchase more stores...and... by the time I was 21, I had saved enough money from working for them through HS that my hubby and I started the factory that would (within a few years) be their biggest supplier of unfinished case goods. Today, my son uses custom 'spray' booths and custom color mixes and all kinds of glazes...finishes have come really far since the seventies and eighties! But, because my experience is so in-depth, I can say, without malice, that tung oil can go rancid when not in it's pure form; I've seen it with my own eyes (and nose). It can cloud your finish as well if you let it oxidize. Always use pure oils if you want a better finish that doesn't cloud your pieces of artwork. Other wood workers will have their own formed opinions. Tung oil is not an oil that evaporates, it 'hardens' over time, therefore it is less likely to go rancid as it is a 'cured' oil. To vacuum seal these oils would be smart; keep them from going cloudy over time and ruining your pc of hard work, for sure. But don't use the same attachments on your food if you do this. JMO.

Hi I just found you. you have great information on here.. thank you. I have a question we are in the market for a new stove. really liked your stove can you do a stove video model and where to buy it? thank you very much!!

[@meYus11]

My wife says they quit making it years ago; she's had two of them. Sears Elite was the name brand.

[@gladtidings4all]

I vacuum seal in half gallon mason jars dry flour, sugar, salt, corn meal. I fill up the jar and using a wooden mallet packing it down tight then filling up to the inch head space then pack down with the wooden mallet. Then I stuff a clean dry coffee filter covering tightly that head inch space. Put the lid and jar sealer adapter and vacuum seal. I own top of the line gamesaver silver Foodsaver vacuum sealer. Just as long you pack it down tight with a mallet.

[@carolweaver3269]

My grandmother taught me about canning. I loved the aroma of pickles and she always made sure we used a knife to go round the edges of inside filled jar to make sure they would have air out, and then a little salt at the top just before sealing tight. Tomatoes etc had to be pressured bathed 45 min. Sealed immediately after they came out of the bath. It is a great idea for young people to learn this as we never know when it would be necessary, many people do just keep their bean, rice etc in a bag and feel that Is enough. So Thank for showing this video. These teaching classes are very good and we all can learn something. We need to actually give it a try and see how much fun it can be too!

[@marenkuether-ulberg3311]

Carol Weaver Very nice, it’s good to be able to continue these simple and valuable skills. It’s 3/2020 now with the Covid-19 virus pandemic starting it’s early weeks around the world. People are having to quickly learn social distancing / isolation / quarantine protocols and the difficulties of having little to no supply preparations. I’m lucky that I’ve the basic sense to have a well stocked house, but haven’t prepped long enough for four adults (& two cats) beyond 2-3 months. Cat litter, I guess I’ll do some trips out to dig sand, hah! ....So, thank you very much for showing the dry canning technique - we’ve had a couple of times when the nasties hatched and ruined a lot of our dry goods until we started double sealing - which doesn’t kill the nasties. Thanks for another tool in our shed to store our food safely and long term. --- please everyone stay safe and healthy!

Actually this is only a beta test... the worst is yet to come. They'll be a calm after the storm & then the real SHTF.

I found Kevlar gloves to use. No heat came through. I also heat my lids with a blow dryer before using the jar cap attachment on my vaccine sealer. Thank you for this video. I also did dry milk with my vacuumed sealer. I put a coffee filter over the milk, tucking around inside. Wipe the jar and rim with a slightly damp cloth and let it dry a min.

You are very welcome, hon! Best wishes!

[@loriknechtel2387]

Thank you for sharing this. I was looking for a dry packing process for years. I would definitely get some rubber gripers for holding and screwing the lids on. Saves the hands from getting burned. Thank you again. God Bless.

I also vacuum seal dehydrated frozen vegetables in my Excalibur dehydrator. I vacuum seal pasta, anything that is dry goods. In my pantry you only see vacuumed seal mason jars no boxes for me!

[@tamihenderson4075]

Those silicone oven gloves may come in handy I"ll have to try this TY for the informative video

[@bettyamon7335]

Hi Janie! Thank you! I learned something new today. I am interested in canning, but have never done it.

[@willowgreen5350]

Thank You for sharing this information. I had no idea that you could do dry canning.

[@lorimurguia9337]

That was very interesting! I've never seen this before, TY!

[@laurelcordell7287]

My grandfather taught us to drop a bay leaf in the bottom of the jar. I added running my jars through the dishwasher first but I've never ever had bugs in dry goods of any kind my whole life and I'm in my 60's.

[@dawnports6896]

A couple of dry bay leaves also works well as a bug deterrent. I have put several in a big bucket of beans and rice and wheat. I also put them in all the jars in the pantry. God bless you! Your kitchen is beautiful!

[@phatalykat]

Girlfriend!!! That was awesome!!!!! I wish I had learned canning from my gramma. Thank you for this video. I have subscribed and look forward to seeing more of your videos. I am looking for more canning info, so can't wait to see what else you have. If, by chance, you have any on canning things like pasta sauces could you let me know. I am really interested in that. thank you so much for your videos and info!!

[@tonyahendrix1549]

Thank you thank you! I have never even hear of dry canning! I lost our 2 year supply of food for our 7 member family to mice and rats because of Mylar bags.... they even chewed through my 2 liter bottle water storage.... it made me so sick!!!! I now have to start from scratch! I’m so glad to have this info!

[@mamashanshan2772]
