  • IF YOU HAVE MOISTURE IN JARS AFTER SEALING, DO THIS: NOTHING!!
    The moisture will re-absorb in a few hours after cooling!
    UPDATE: March 21, 2020
    Our Little Homestead!
    PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING AS I"M GETTING HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMMENTS:
    1.) I DID BUY a pair of silicone gloves and they work great! Thanks for the 1000 comments on best gloves to buy for heat canning!
    2.) Hand in jar comments: Please STOP and read -- This method is not about 'sterilization' as nothing is sterile unless it goes through 'time, steam and pressure', like a pressure canner or hospital auto-clave.
    3.) Note: This video is about killing larvae that can attack your pantry food stores.
    4.) Other methods you may try: You can freeze dry goods for 3-6 days as well, not killing it for seed. Heat does kill the seed for planthing later on...don't use this method if you are planning to plant the dry goods in a garden later. Use the O2s or vacuum sealer for using as seed.
    5.) These dry goods will go through the oven after you TOUCHED the jars or product ... you can't have water left in the jars and you MUST check for this ... many did not do this step and regretted it, as moisture built up in their jars and their product turned to mush on top
    6.) SOME MOISTURE is okay after taking out of oven, product will re-absorb the moisture. But if moisture is still in jar after cooling, open jar and let product air dry and vacuum seal. You did the job of killing the larva. Seal in a way you would like.
    7.) I used that jar of beans and I'm still standing! LOL!
    So to answer it in short.
    Be clean.
    My hands used clorox wipes all over the kitchen.
    And, remember, if were not for germs, we'd all be dead!
    TRUTH!
    Some germs you don't want to kill. We have germs on us that keep us alive and fight off the bad bacteria.
    You don't want to kill that. So, touching the beans is not valid here.
    The beans were dirty off the combines and factory belts, into the semis, and onto store shelf before I got it...
    it's why we pressure can food in cans and jars...
    The best you can hope for in oven DRY GOODS canning to store for long-term is SANITIZED or CLEAN situation with no larva left alive to breed in your pantry.
    I hope this makes sense.
    I could put a mouse in a canning jar and pressure can it...and I could eat it. The most you can do in oven canning is to KILL IT! but the meat would still rot inside the jar if not pressure canned correctly. Gross yes, but true.
    Thank you for your questions! God Bless and be safe!

    Let me offer another method. As a beekeeper, we sometimes have to deal with a pest called the wax moth. Their larvae are so strong they actually burrow into the wood of the hive. Easiest way to kill them is by putting the equipment in a deep freeze for 3 days. When wife and I buy flour we usually buy 3 bags or more and I do the same thing with the flour. Don't open the packages, but wrap 'em in plastic grocery bags, freeze t hem, and then when you take them out of the freezer after 3 days, place them in a chest cooler for a day so they warm gradually without condensation. Oila...no bugs, easy peasy.

      @lauriintheloop5121 Před 4 lety +14

      I just got done using this method for rice, hoping in fact that it did kill any bug larvae. I'm assuming it wouldn't be a good idea to put the canned jars in the freezer now for double insurance in fear that it will break the seal?

      @Andrew D, After using the freezing method to kill the bugs, would dry canning still be advisable to keep shelf stable for extended amount of time?

      @chytealthedeal Před 4 lety +66

      So, I can take the whole bag of rice, put it in a plastic grocery bag, put it in the deep freezer for 3 days, and that kills the bugs and larvae? Can I do that with rice, beans, flour, grits and oatmeal? Thank you.

    If the jar is not full, on the vacuum seal,you can put a marshmallow on top of your beans or rice. The marshmallow will greatly increase in size. When the vacuum is lost, the marshmallow will return to original size, letting you see the vacuum was lost.

      Hopefully this situation will wake people up and make them realize just how unprepared we are for something like this that can happen at any time. Everyone needs to have at least a couple of weeks worth of food and essentials stocked up for the next time something like this happens, and there will be a next time.

    I always put a towel over the finished sealed jars as I work because of drafts. I let the jars remain underneath the towel until they are completely cooled, usually overnight. This is the way my grandmother did it and we never had cracked jars. If a jar should crack it is a safety measure, will keep glass and contents contained. Great video, thanks for sharing.

    I started using the vacuum sealer for sealing jars. But, I have recently found, that a vacuum pump ( a braking bleeding pump, like what you might find at Harbor Freight, works great) is actually easier to use, and is much more affordable than a vacuum sealer. You can even use the bleeder cup, that comes with the bleeder pump, if you are worried about your fine powder goods.

    you should be putting oxygen absorbers in those jars...even the ones you bake. They keep the moisture and the oxygen out of the jar and out of your food. Use the absorbers on the vacuum sealed jars too. It's important! They help a lot when you open the jar and then close it again...to keep the bad oxygen out. it soaks it up!

Then I stuff a clean dry coffee filter covering tightly that head inch space. Put the lid and jar sealer adapter and vacuum seal. I own top of the line gamesaver silver Foodsaver vacuum sealer. Just as long you pack it down tight with a mallet.

Bugs,/moths/larva, etc and rodent droppings/pee, and hairs, etc can be in the grain. I pick out stones and wash about 3 times till the water is pretty clear.. Stir around with fingers, let stuff float to the top and pour water off. I just use my hands/fingers.

    My grandmother taught me about canning. I loved the aroma of pickles and she always made sure we used a knife to go round the edges of inside filled jar to make sure they would have air out, and then a little salt at the top just before sealing tight. Tomatoes etc had to be pressured bathed 45 min. Sealed immediately after they came out of the bath. It is a great idea for young people to learn this as we never know when it would be necessary, many people do just keep their bean, rice etc in a bag and feel that Is enough.
    So Thank for showing this video. These teaching classes are very good and we all can learn something. We need to actually give it a try and see how much fun it can be too!

      Carol Weaver Very nice, it’s good to be able to continue these simple and valuable skills. It’s 3/2020 now with the Covid-19 virus pandemic starting it’s early weeks around the world. People are having to quickly learn social distancing / isolation / quarantine protocols and the difficulties of having little to no supply preparations. I’m lucky that I’ve the basic sense to have a well stocked house, but haven’t prepped long enough for four adults (& two cats) beyond 2-3 months. Cat litter, I guess I’ll do some trips out to dig sand, hah! ....So, thank you very much for showing the dry canning technique - we’ve had a couple of times when the nasties hatched and ruined a lot of our dry goods until we started double sealing - which doesn’t kill the nasties. Thanks for another tool in our shed to store our food safely and long term. --- please everyone stay safe and healthy!

    critter eggs that hatch out will instantly die if you have pulled a vacuum on the jar.
    I also include a home made Silica pack in my jars and vacuum packed plastic pouches used in my foodsaver.
    I use regular silica sand that can be purchased very cheep from home Depot. You need to take a container of it and dry it for a day or so in a dehydrator to remove all moisture. Then put the silica sand in paper coin envelopes you get from the office supply store. Choose the size coin envelope you like, fill it will dry silica sand and put a little elmers glue on the flap, let it dry enough to stick well, then put the silica filled pouches in the dehydrator to dry fully. Then use the packs in each jar. When you remove them, just dry them out again, in the envelope and use it again. If the envelope goes bad, just remove the sand and reuse it.

    Hi! I wanted to thank you for making this video so many years ago. I found it about 3 years ago and I have been buying rice in bulk and dry canning it using your method. And oh boy am I glad right now. I have around 10 gallons on my shelf right now.
    I wish I had bought more beans though. Oh well.

    Love the video, good information & I learned something.
    When handling hot glass jars, I like to place a cut piece of rubber shelf liner, cut to about a 12" square, under the oven mit. The rubber shelf liner works just like a jar opener, giving you a much better grip on the jar, but is much more versatile than just a jar opener.

    I found Kevlar gloves to use. No heat came through.
    I also heat my lids with a blow dryer before using the jar cap attachment on my vaccine sealer. Thank you for this video.
    I also did dry milk with my vacuumed sealer. I put a coffee filter over the milk, tucking around inside. Wipe the jar and rim with a slightly damp cloth and let it dry a min.

    FYI the advent of big box stores and JIT (just-in-time) forecasting and replenishment switched much of the US from a store with a stockroom model to what we have now. Now, stores order and receive just enough product to meet demand and no more. The next shipment comes just in time to replace what was just sold.
    One hiccup in the supply chain (a strike, a recall due to contamination, a natural disaster) throws a monkey wrench in the works and affects the whole system.

    I dry vacuum seal all my sugar, salt flour, etc. my step is I fill my jar with flour and I use a wooden mallet and pack it in tight I keep filling it up and pack it tight to the inch head space. I add a clean dry coffee filter and cover it really good then add the lid and the adapter and vacuum seal! Never has my vacuum sealer got messed up!

    I work in the the commercial food packaging industry and have done testing on almonds and tobacco where an entomologist inoculated bins of almonds and also tobacco leaves with live insects and eggs. First test we induced a vacuum up to 28" hg (absolute vacuum is 30 in/hg) on product in a nylon EVOH bag and it reduced most insects but did not kill all of the insects and there was still infestation so your vacuum sealer with only 10-20" hg is no guarantee against existing insects. Next was 50/50 nitrogen and CO2 gas mix and this had a greater kill than vacuum alone but some insects still lived because the plant material has trapped oxygen and the insect lived long enough to lay more eggs before they died. Next was 100% CO2 and it had a 100% success rate because it forms carbonic acid when it interacts with moisture in the eggs and insects bodies. You can add a small amount of dry ice to the bottom of your upright container, lightly cover it with a loose lid while the dry ice is sublimating and the gas will push the oxygen out of the container and the CO2 will remain because of its molecular weight if left covered and undisturbed. After all of the dry ice is gone you can then seal it to hold the CO2 in. The insects and eggs will be killed within a week or two. I like the idea of dry canning, I just wanted to give another method.
    The funny thing is the tobacco company backed out of using our packaging system to use against tobacco weevil because their marketing people said CO2 is a bad gas and they did not want to be seen as causing global warming, no joke. Their product creates CO2. For you smokers reading this those small occasional little pops when you suck on your cigarette are often small insect parts igniting, I was told this by the tobacco guys during the trial.
