Canned Food Gone Bad
Ferfal Blog Spot ^ | 3/29/14

Posted on 03/31/2014 4:34:48 PM PDT by Kartographer

Now that’s theory and it does apply but as we know sometimes things just don’t work out as well. Today my wife was opening a can of chopped tomatoes and as soon as the can was pierced the contents burst out in all directions. While there was no swelling, pressure had clearly built up inside, a clear sign of decomposition. The food inside didn’t smell awfully bad, but it didn’t smell good either.

That’s why Koreans use clay pots for kim-chi?

Oops, that was the 1824 expedition, not 1845.

If it was only 170 years, then color me unimpressed, but 190 years? That's saying something!

:-P

No, not quite, they did the test in 1939, so it was only 115 years.

That’s why I’m looking into dehydrating....storage space.

I’ve canned (jars) of fruits, veggies and meats and they do tend to take up a lot of space. I like the idea of several pounds of, say tomatoes, transferring into a pint jar - as chopped/slices or as powder (for sauce/paste).

I recently decided to replace my long term tomato sauce needs with powdered tomatoes. My wife and I prep for the our children and grandchildren in mind and have a tough time rotating all the tomato sauce requirements.

I dehydrate everything out of our garden that isn’t used. I store it all in zip lock bags and freeze it. Uses very little space and tastes totally fresh.

Yep, she is excellent on dehydrating...

Do pay close attention to her double bagging suggestion... I have even put paper towels in dehydrated food... Hey, have the towels to use later after they kept the sharp edges from puncturing the bag and the mylar bag...

Plus, if you have tomato powder, you can make it as thin or thick as you want. I like to take a couple of small flat bread sandwich rounds, and put tomato sauce with pizza seasoning on it and loads of veggies and cheese for a quick toaster oven pizza for lunch.

Trouble is you only need a tiny bit of sauce out of the cans you can buy. With the powder, you wouldn’t have that problem, and also don’t have to worry about the acid eating through the can.

The bottom of the Missouri. River probably doesn’t change temperature by 5 degrees in ten years. That is very important to long term storage of food and ammo.

those little samples packs of mayo you can get at almost any deli aren’t refrigerated, and my Cousin still uses the ones she picked up 2 years ago.

Might be worth looking into.

They aren’t packaging foods as well as they used to. Some cans now have pull off tops like coke cans. Some are as thin as coke cans. Some are paper with little bits of tape securing the opening. Some come in plastic tubs with foil tops and others in foil bags which can easily be punctured or come unglued. I got some foil bagged tuna for free or I wouldn’t have brought it home. It isn’t going into the pantry because I don’t trust something punching a hole in it. Despite rotation for expiration dates, this is going to be eaten first.

I’ve had Velveeta go bad before the expiration date. Now, it goes straight from the grocery store to the freezer.

Check out imstillworkin’s youtubes. She explains the details of dehydrating and dehydrating and gives the why and why not through her tests.
