how to open canned corned beef what is corned beef how to cook canned corned beef prepper pantry recipe ideas food storage hi it's
AlaskaGranny Alaska Prepper as preppers we like to have a supply of food on hand
in our prepper pantry prepping supplies and one of the items that's good to stockpile is canned meat
have you ever wandered down the canned meat aisle and wondered what are some of those
canned meats so typically we understand canned meats like tuna chicken salmon even sardines
and sometimes we can find turkey pulled pork and even cans of roast beef another canned meat item
that I like to add to prepper pantry stockpile is canned corn beef what is corned beef it's
actually brisket that's been prepared with salt and spices and you may have heard
of it at St Patrick's Day corned beef and cabbage and maybe that's the only time you've ever even
eaten corned beef but this is a great way to have an option of canned meat it's already sort of like
ground up canned corned beef easy to use in a lot of different kind of pantry food storage recipes
I bought Hereford canned corned beef with 25 less salt because there's just a lot
of sodium in processed foods so you can look for different types of meats for your prepper
pantry food stockpile if you look on the top of the can you can see Hereford canned corned beef a
product of Brazil and the expiration date is March 2025. the nice thing about canned meats
like Hereford corned beef you can count on them lasting long past the date so it's a great way to
add food storage variety prepping supplies through different kinds of canned meats you can count
on canned meats lasting if you look on the back of the Hereford canned corned beef package you
can see the nutritional analysis each can contains four servings of beef now look at the shape of the
can you can see it is narrow at the top and wider at the bottom and that's because it helps meat to
slide out because it can be kind of crumbly if you ever want to use the Hereford canned corn beef for
sandwiches put it in the refrigerator first and allow it to chill through so then when you open it
it isn't as crumbly and it can come out and then you can easily slice it to use it on a
sandwich before you begin puncture a little hole in the top that helps it to slide out the trick
to canned corned beef is there's a little key on the side and that is how you open it so whenever
you're shopping for Hereford canned corned beef make sure that the little key is on the side
then you want to remove the key and then remove the label now turn the key around
and you want to hook it back over that little tab and you want to twist it sometimes it's hard if
you don't have a lot of strength in your hands I don't have a lot of strength in my hand so
sometimes i use a pair of pliers to get it started to get that first poof of getting
the can open once you get it started you just keep turning it clockwise turn the can as you go
and just keep twisting and twisting around on the little key and you tear off a strip of the metal
then when you get to the end there you go it came apart sometimes it doesn't
come completely apart but you can just hinge it open and now see I can turn it
over and the can comes right off and I can easily access my Hereford canned corned beef
because this can is chilled I can slice it but you can see it also is crumbly
and that's one of the nice things about Hereford corned beef is you can use it
as sliced meat or as crumbled up into your recipes it's all depends on how you want to serve it
now the edges of the can are very sharp so be careful when you're opening it that you don't
cut yourself on the edge of the can you also then want to unwind that strip off of your key
and save that key in your drawer with your can openers in case you ever come across a can that
the key is missing it can be very difficult unless you have a pair of pliers to even get it open
so have a spare key can opener it's just an extra kind of a can opener for you to have on hand just
be careful removing that strip because it's sharp what can you do with a can of Hereford corned beef
