today we're going to do try canning I've had so much response for this video so I
thought I would make it and share with you how I oven can now first of all I
need to say this is only for dried ingredients okay this is not a pressure
canning oven canning type thing this is for dry ingredients as a way to store
your ingredients if you don't want to spend for mile or bags or you don't want
to spend for all the vacuum sealing products this is a very easy way to
store your dry ingredients with the things that you have on hand this can be
done with courts and with pipes but it would take an awful lot of jars to oven
dry oven can your products like that but it does work and then it would work for
a lot less time we estimate 40 minutes some do one hour anywhere after a half
an hour is good to 40 minutes you don't want to go over an hour and you don't
want to have your temperature over 200 degrees so let's get started it's really
simple procedure wash your jars make sure they are totally dry and that one
has water in it you do not want to have any moisture and now I want to make sure
I all mine are dry I don't know how well it got that one okay want to make sure
they are totally dry because the whole idea of this is to get all the moisture
and all the air out of your jars so they last longer
why do we do this okay there's many reasons flour can get bug you really
quick and what causes bugs and flour number one there may be some eggs into
your flour that when you bought it you didn't know because let's face it it's
done at a milleri so so you know there could be bugs and from
the field two bugs get in your flower really easy and they like to eat and
they like moisture so these are the ways that we committed sure there's no water
none these are the ways that some of the reasons why we do it why else do we do
it because flour this is very expensive bread flour but I'm paying 43 cents a
pound because I'm getting in a large bag like this so you get it a lot cheaper
and it's money-saving if you buy your flowers in bulk you can do this for
flowers you can do this for oatmeal you can do it for rice and beans you can do
it for some cereals what you cannot do it is for unfortunately from what I
understand this does not work for dried fruits and dried vegetables because we
have it at a temperature and it will produce moisture and dehydrated items so
you do not want to do this for your dehydrated items but this is really good
especially for flour especially if you live in the climates or gets hot this is
good for that so we're going to start all we do is make sure we have a dry
flash jar just to let you know Walmart and Tractor Supply has these the
cheapest I've got all six of these $7 at Tractor Supply believe it or not tractor
supply seemed to have the best fried cream now I know that that depends on
your local area before you do all this you want to set your oven to 200 degrees
or a little bit lower than that if you're going to get tire we have a
propane heaven so our oven gets a little warmer than what it said so I always go
a little bit slower we are going to fill our jars to the top when you do regular
canning you need to have airspace but with dry candy you do not want any
airspace you want to have it as close to the top and you're going to have to go
like this so you can compact it and no it does not get hard in the jars
somebody asked and wanted to get hard inside the jars no it doesn't at all
this power can last up some people pad in five years and there's good I'm going
to go just like that so you're going to go up to the neck right up to the neck
I'm going to wipe you in just like this what we're going to do is we are putting
them into the oven without the lid somebody asked also why we don't put
them is on first and I'm not sure about that I just know that they say do not
put the lid on I assume so some of the heat can escape or it would it would
make it too hot the temperature inside probably it would make it too hot that
you would actually start cooking your flour you don't want to burn your flour
and if you would put the top on while it's still baking it would bake to a
real high temperature inside so I'm guessing that's the reason we're going
to put on a cookie sheet just like this and I'm going to do all of these and
when I'm done then I'm going to show you the next step
hey I have all six of them build somebody also asked me can you do this
with jars that aren't all and I can honestly tell you I don't know I would
not recommend it because you want to have jars that are canning jars does it
work for gallon jars I doubt it I would not be comfortable and saying you know
you can because I really don't know because you are put in at 200 degrees
what we're going to do is I don't use anything wet at all we're going to take
a dry cloth I'm just going to wipe the tops like this we're going to put this
in the oven for anywhere from 30 minutes to 40 minutes I have a temperature here
to make sure that my oven is right because it is really important that you
don't go over 200 then you have burnt flower and then you wasted all of your
time and money for it so I'm going to put this in we're going to put these in
for the 40 minutes and then I will get them out and I'm going to show you what
we do next what I am going to do for this batch in
five minutes before they're going to come out I'm going to place these this
in the oven just for a five minutes for a couple minutes I've done it I've never
done it that way I've done it where you just put them cold on and a feel but I'm
thinking it won't hurt nothing because you cannot get these wet somebody asks
why the reason is the rubber inside would hold moisture you're going to put
that on here and you don't want any moisture because you don't want it to
mold at all so you do not make these wet but if you put them in the oven I would
think that would be fine because you're not making them wet so I'm going to put
these in the oven with the rubber up put the metal down just for the last couple
minutes so they're good and hot and then we're going to put in one and I'm going
to show you what it looks like next this is one of my favorite projects I love
dry canning I've been out of the oven and they are
hot so we're going to take a dry cloth and just wipe away to make sure there is
no flour on the rim I'm going through a finger tight pull they are hot come on
here you want to make sure when you put them on you don't put them on something
cold surface you want to have them on a tea towel just the same as canning so
we're going to do the same thing with this one and I did put the lid in for
about four minutes before I got the jars out so the lids would be a little hot
the rubber part of them you don't have to do that but I think that helps
now if you get one that doesn't steal that makes that doesn't matter I mean of
course it doesn't matter for a flower I would just use that one up first but I
usually get mine to seal pretty good so I did three of a desperate flower and I
did two of light whole wheat flour I'm going to do this with oatmeal as well
this is a great project if you get things in bulk they are really hot and
then I made cute little labels to go on them not on the jar I put labels and
tags on the side I don't really like a lot of labels all over my jars because
I'm they're hard to get off when you want to use the jars for something else
so what I do is I tag little labels and once my jars with string well they're my
friends that's how you haven't and it's a simple procedure but it's a sure way
of being able to keep your food both free and keep it lasting longer I hope
you enjoyed this video if you liked it please share it I like when people share
share it's get to my word around thanks again for watching and when I do another
dry canning video make sure I post it hi
