These tips are IN ADDITION TO making sure the lid isn't "popped".

Never store jars with the ring on. This can create a false seal and potentially lethal botulism.

@bae-life replied to your post “Went to rummage sale and found Big Pot. Also found...”:

Oh my god that's an EXCELLENT pot. What are you thinking about canning?

​I haven't made marmalade in a couple years, so definitely some of that, some spiced and some not! And I saw a recipe for carrot cake jam that sounds really good.

Fortunately both of those things require ingredience from the grocery store and so are not time sensitive. It would be nice to pickle some things from my parents garden, or make jam or jelly with local apples or berries, but it's getting rather late in the season for that and I'm going to have surgery in a few days so I don't think I'll get to it this year.

(I also don't have a suitable wire rack or jar lifter, but I could borrow those from my parents.)

Canning is so fuckin satisfying.

Edit: the TERFs have found this post so let's point out that traditional cooking techniques have absolutely nothing to do with the garbage you're espousing as "traditional values". fuck off and learn some basic human decency.

Imagine the feeling of having exactly the right amount of leftovers to perfectly fill the Tupperware. And then that over and over again because the jars come in standard sizes and you can do the math beforehand. Something is satisfied in the monkey brain when you get to cram a bunch of things in containers. You get to watch the cooling jars go plop-polop as they seal themselves and you never have to worry about them going bad. Even if you forget about them for years you will never run into the adhd food tax. Its literally the single most sustainable way to store food, there's no refrigeration, no perpetual carbon foot print or fee. You can reuse the jars for decades. You can do one jar on a stove top or you can scale up and do dozens at once. Sunlight gleaming through jars of canned veggies is one of the most gorgeous things you can see in this life. You can gift them and you don't even have to wrap it because unless you're canning some really odd shit its always appreciated. There isn't much that can't be canned and you can start mixing things up until you have a simple meal that just needs to be warmed up ready to go at all times. If you're concerned about allergies you have complete control about what's going into your canned goods. You can do big jars or teeny jars or fancy jars and the jars are cheap.

Magnificent monkey brain activity. I've been possessed by spirit of a woman from 1846.

Canning Season by Dirty Annie

If you have the space I would encourage folks to buy deep freezers for food. Mainly fruits and vegetables, and save the seeds off food you eat. I'm being so serious. If you don't know how to grow stuff that's fine but in general, I think everyone should be stocking up on seeds of everyone plant you eat. Learn to can as well. I'm not saying stock up on food, I just folks to make what they buy last them so that they can save money. I buy oat milk and noticed that it does spoil fast like cows milk. I'm not sure if that will be true if you learn to make it at home yourself. If you life with multiple people, y'all need to make it a group activity when y'all grocery shop and prep your produce.
