Canning meat is kind of a pain in the dick but its awesome stuff. I can deer, bear and cougar meat. If your freezer goes tits up, your canned meat in the cupboard is fine. Problem is i like it so much its hard to keep it as emergency supplies. My parents have a big badass pressure cooker thats milled out of a single block of aluminum. Its pretty awesome. I just take a bunch of meat over to their place and hang out for the day and can a whole mess of shit. I want to get a smoker and start smoking and canning trout, see how that turns out.
Yeah I never got into canning, I mean realistically here if shtf there wont be water for growing shit. But I also wonder how long the lids will last, even reusable ones.
I thought you meant you canned some corned beef? Maybe i interpreted that wrong. Shit properly canned is good for years. Supposedly youll know when the seal is compromised, but as ive said mine never sits around long enough for me to find that out myself. Canned meat is really good and super convenient. I need to can more shit. This year i ground more burger than normal though.
Nope, bought commercially canned.
We live on solar and our system is not big enough to handle a deep freeze, even a 12V one. I can or dehydrate just about everything. I a lot of meat every year. It’s so flavorful. I “lost” a jar of pork for 2 years. It was still good and we ate it. Lost several jars of cranberry sauce canned in 2017. One seal was broken but the others were good.
I’ve not tried the reusable lids mainly because they are not recommended for fatty or greasy foods and most of what I can has some sort of fat in it.
