I looked at so many different videos that my head is spinning. But you did such a great job explaining about botulinum and dry canning that I can easy understand. Thanks so much.
@@CountryLivingExperience I agree with this comment. I watched many videos on dry canning beans, but your video was easy to understand and didn't make me feel like it was that hard. 1 question I do have is, "do you remove the rings once the seals are good? Thanks
@@neppieb you shouldn't leave the rings on. If a seal is going to fail you *want* it to fail and you want to know, you don't want a ring helping to hide a seal failure. If a ring is on tight enough you can get a seal failure and reseal but it's contaminated at that point and not safe to eat.
@8:44 you go from talking about placing jars back in the oven to Lids, you said put lids in for last 15 min of process. You never gave length of time for the process, I watched a couple of times to make sure. thanks for the great video.
Thanks. The product stays in the oven for 30 minutes min in the unsealed jar. The lids go in for the last 15 minutes of the entire process. So the total time ,including the original 15 minutes for jar sterilization, is 45 minutes. Hope that helps.
Thank you this was my first attempt at canning "anything" and so I started with white rice. Perfect explanations with sound reasoning and every jar ping'ed!!
Ana Y. He’s the best I’ve found on UA-cam. And being new to this, he explains it so well and keeps it real. Mine ping”d too. It’s so satisfying every time one pings. I get all giddy.
Change to brown rice, a lot healthier for u and if u are in the situation where u need to use ur stockpile, I would think u would want all the healthy stuff u can find. Besides brown rice tastes a lot better.
@@noraperez5157 Look at Michael Prestidrige's comment. He tells him the answer of 45 minutes total. But the lids are inserted in the oven after 30 minutes within the 45 minutes. Please double check because I am not sure if empty jars heating starts the 45 minute timer or the beans does.
Thanks so much for sharing this method. We all need to prepare for uncertain times we are living in. You are a blessing to many and I thank you and appreciate you much. Greetings from Africa!
You dont pick your beans?. You know pouring them out on a Pan or Towel and remove the Debris before Canning? Sometimes, it's just broken beans, a rock or a piece of the Stem from the plants. Most have some, others alot and some none. That was passed down to me as a rule for Dry Canning Beans from Gma and Mom. Nothing wrong with not. But thought everyone did this. Lol.

Thank you so much for this video! You were so articulate and made it easy enough to follow that for the first time I felt confident enough to try it! I've now dry canned over a hundred quart jars of my favorite beans, rice, legumes, and flour! ❤

Hello! Just wanted to give an update 2 years later on that massive dry canning session I did. It was a tremendous success! Here is a more in depth list of everything I canned. Red and white quinoa, white, brown and basmati rice, white flour, cornmeal, green split peas, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, pasta, bulgar wheat, mung beans, white beans, pinto beans, the 13 bean mix from bobs red mill and a few other things. Fantastic success!! Out of everything I canned and it was well over a hundred quart size jars, I lost about 20. The cornmeal did not keep it's seal, I had been checking my jars semi frequently and about 6 months in when I checked again the seals had popped open and I had visitors. Also lost some of my white flour. Seemed like the ones that I put in wide mouth jars didn't keep their seal. Overall fantastic success! This has changed the way I approach my food storage and shop in bulk on sale. Thank you! And input on the failures would be awesome if you have time ❤️
Thank you so very much for this video! Even though I learned to can in the 1960’s with my Mamaw, it still scares me to this day. I’m almost 65 and I can still remember her strict voice. I must get busy with my 50 lbs of rice and 50-60 lbs of beans, 30 lbs of sugar, 30 lbs of flour. Hahahaha! I’ll be dry canning ‘til the cows come home! 🙏
How long did you have them in the oven after filling the jars? I know the empty jars were in there for 15 minutes at 250°F. I'm just unclear on how long to leave them in the oven after they are filled. Thanks for making this video on dry canning. This is new to me and I have a bunch of dried beans and rice to try this dry canning with.
Hello. For quart jars leave them in for 30 minutes. For 1/2 gallon leave for 1 hour. Please note that beans are extremely difficult as they hold a lot of moisture. Flour and rice are easier.
@@CountryLivingExperience elevators want the beans below 15% moisture before they will take them so they will keep for a very long time. Beans have no natural enemies to keeping them in storage as long as u keep them dry and rodent proof, they contaminate them because that’s what they do, pintos, light reds, ect, will get darker as they age and continue to dry. Never tried to see how dry they will get over time. Plastic buckets have to be poor way to store anything as they trap moisture
I'm going to differ on the need for headspace on dry good's, there is already to much air in the jar as it is. As long as there is not so much product in the jar that it would prevent the lid from popping your fine. The fuller it is the less air that is in it which is the goal.
I liked your video, but you left out a few things, how long will this method preserve the food for, And is this method the same for all dry goods, length of time in the oven as well as temperature? I'm new at this so I need details? Thank you, I need to get started asap.
@@alanawalker8681 I have read accounts of it lasting 25 years. I went over time and temp in the video. Also, some products are more difficult to can like beans as they can retain more moisture than rice or flour for example.
You all probably dont care at all but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
Thank you so much for your quick response about canning beans and rice together. Ive been telling everyone about you and sending them to your site. Even my mother in law of 30 years who has been canning since she was a young kid is now seeking you out and how to dry can. You are so amazing and I love how you explain things so thoroughly. Keep up the great work.
I’ve been doing this for a while now, however, the only thing I do is stick my good dry goods in the freezer for 72 hours and then I use my vacuum sealer with the Mason jar adapter to vacuum seal them, works like a charm.
Thank you for this video. And thank you for backing up your method with science instead of “hearsay”. I am excited to try this method with my dry goods.
So glad I found your channel . With today prices it's very important to save money on what we buy and store up. This will help me on my journey of canning
Love this! Great validated information! I was ready to dry can my rice and fell on the video that says there will be moisture built up and poison us! So glad, that's not true but will be sure to use your process!!! Thank you!
Thank you for the kind comment. I have seen that they have doubled in many places. I found some on Walmart.com for a good price. Also found some at Tractor Supply.
Just like @Bun H, I have watched MANY videos of people canning and they bring too much energy or humor to distract that you leave feeling more confused and intimidated than before. But you are a breath of fresh air. It was simple, straight to the point and made me want to look through your videos on pressure canning and water bath canning. I hope I am successful. Thank you so VERY much!
Great video! Your method is very easy to understand. I tried your method with 3 jars, this is my first attempt to dry can.....and each of the jars popped!! I don't see any moisture, so good so far. I'm going to dry can more using your method. Thank you!! I'm subscribing to your channel. Have a great day!!
My first time seeing this video. You did a great presentation as well. It is going to be my first time at canning anything, Nervous, I am but I am eager to learn. I subscribed as I want to learn all that I can regarding food storage and canning.
Thank you for the great info. Love this video. You were clear and straight to the point. Please stop saying bugs, I know about them, just don't want to hear about them. I subscribed. looking forward to more content!
I like this because you can go with an easier rotation of these products. The challenge I have with the big gallon buckets is you’re still going to be opening them a lot to use the product. You can also use the vacuum seal adapter with the food saver.
But every jars time will not be equal - if you are filling hot jar with beans and placing back in the oven ... then repeating process with each individual jar ... are you timing 30 minutes to each individual jar?
@@wernorse He could pull the cookie sheet out, set it on the door and fill all the jars without removing each one individually, would save time and steps.
Thank you. This can be a very challenging process if there is too much moisture present in the product. I may suggest vacuum sealing rice and beans to start your canning experience.
Thank you. If you have condensation that forms, switch to vacuum sealing the jars. It is difficult to dry can at this time of year because of the humidity.
Very timely video as I just got my most recent order of bulk beans, split peas, and lentils. I love the idea of using quart jars instead of buckets, like I've done in the past. Also, with the jars, you won't have to worry about rodents eating their way into your packaging. Some plastic containers and the mylar bags are not rodent proof. Using canning jars are a better option.
Glad it was helpful. That is one of the big reasons for this method. Nothing is going to get through those glass jars. I was always leery of the mylar bags when it came to rodents and certain insects.
I loved your step by step instructions but didn't consider one thing, I live in Florida and there is a lot of moisture, aka humidity this time of year. This is my 1st attempt at dry canning dried beans and used larger jars (1/2 gallon). I ended up with moisture inside the canning jars even though I followed instructions. Making a note that timing is everything, especially if you live in Fl., and possibly my jars were too big? Affirming the statement, "Size matters"
Florida is tough for this type of method, especially in the summer. 1/2 gallons need at least an hour but that is with a bean with less moisture. I might dry them out on a baking sheet in the oven at a low temp first and then add them to the jar.....or just save the dry canning for beans and rice and vacuum pack the beans.
I do a double sterilization with my dishwasher, I use the sanitize cycle. After the dishwasher I put them in the oven to make sure they are really dry and sanitized again. Yeah, OCD, lol. I started dry canning 4 years ago I love this method. Beans, rice and oatmeal. Great video!
I hit subscribe. 😊 I just started a channel a year and a half ago on hydroponics and now starting to introduce more homesteading - as we do it all the time. I dry my foods and put in cans or bags. Checking in to see what others do. 🎉 Thanks for the information!
Is doing this necessary for any reason? I've eaten rice over 10 years old, and it seemed fine, however beans are awfully tough at that age and need to be cooked a long time. Does this prevent that? Also, how long should this last after doing this? I just store my stuff in galvanized and food grade plastic trash cans, and it seems fine.
i love this idea. So the total for beans at 250 is 30 minutes and you add the canning lids at the 15 minute point. Great presentation. I'm looking forward to more.
Thanks. Yes 250 for 30. Beans are very difficult in the summer and in areas with high humidity though. I usually end up vacuum sealing them at this time of year.
Thank you for this really well-done video. Will this process work with quinoa? I think it’s dry enough but I don’t know about its oil content... And would the color of the quinoa matter (beige, red, black)?
Would the 30 minute time work for 1/2 gallon jars,or would I need to extend the time? Going to vann rice a 1/2 gallon fits our usage better than quart.
Would that time frame be for both sterilization time (without anything in the jar) and after you fill it and pop it back in with the item you’re canning?
I loved your video. It’s nice to have the “why.” I canned beans and brown rice today. I followed your method, except I used 1/2 gallon jars instead of quarts. Everything “Popped” sealed, but by the time I got the last jar done. I noticed the other jars had moisture buildup up on the inside of the jar. Are these beans and rice ruined?
Thank you. The jar that got moisture in it will have to be completely redone. It must have cooled a bit before you got the lid on or didn’t seal properly.
Country Living Experience: A Homesteading Journey What am I doing wrong? Everyone of them sealed. But they have moisture in them. The moisture left, the next day but the beans are wrinkled, which leads me to believe it’s in the beans. What should I do? If you can help it would be great.
@@sheilajarboe4437 It sounds like it is the beans. They are not dry. I would try to dehydrate them in a food dehydrator before trying again. That is the only thing I can think of. Store bought dried beans should not be doing that.
@@CountryLivingExperience You also used larger jars. Another video says to "cook" for 90 minutes if you use a 1/2 gallon jar since there is so much more material. Also, like when you make jerky, crack the oven door for a little while at the end to let any pent up moisture vent from the oven. I just use a wood spoon to prop it open the last 10 - 15 minutes.
I'd want to wash the rice and leave it to dry out completely before dry canning because rice has arsenic in it and I had a friend from China where their family worked in the rice fields and she told me that they get pushed all over a dirty floor.
Giving this a try today Though I'm a bit confused on certain methods a lot of things online say 200 degrees for an hour and your method is 250 degrees for 30 minutes. So I'm going to split the difference at 220 for 45 minutes. On a small test run lol I like your video because it's short and direct to the point.
Greetings. I am canning using this method today. I didn’t have enough of one bean to fill all jars so I ended up doing pintos, black eyed peas, black beans, lentils and flour (all in separate jars of course 😂). Pray my success.
I use a vacuum sealer. Comes with specialized caps for sealing manson jars. Makes a for very strong vacuum. Cannot get the lids (tattler type only) off by hand, thats how strong it is.
Thank you for the detailed video. I'm definitely interested in preserving my dry goods such as beans and rice. Many years ago I got botulism from store bought spaghetti sauce. Worst experience of my life.
You're welcome. You must be cautious with everything you buy or preserve yourself. Beans are a challenge because of the moisture they hold. You may need to vacuum seal them.
Excellent video. I've been researching and was leaning towards Mylar bags until finding your video and channel. Thank you very much for your clear explanation. It was very informative ana helpful. Keep up the great work 👍🏽🙏🏽🇺🇸
This will be my first year growing and canning. I was seriously beginning to think you couldn't do dry goods. Thank you for this video. If I had to use a pressure cooker to do this method what would it consist of? I currently only have a convection oven. Also if the USDA has come out and said that you can safely can dry goods, why are so many people still saying you can't?
Wow! You packed a whole lot of info in 12 minutes! I'm going to check out your list of dry foods that can be preserved this way. It was super easy to understand and I really appreciate you dispelling myths about canning this way, as well as the science behind it. I'm not especially smart and it takes me FOREVER to learn anything. It's really frustrating for me and I can't do anything about it....it's just the way it is for me. This method is so simple, a kid could do this. I just hope I can find all the stuff to do this.
Glad we could help. Be careful with the beans. They are extremely difficult sometimes because of the amount of moisture they hold. I usually vacuum seal them.
I tried to dry can store bought dried black eyed peas today, but the the jars kept showing moisture.....I washed my jars and put them in the oven for thirty minutes.....do you think the store bought peas just had soaked up a lot of moisture in the store? I tried 3 times, and still had moisture, so I just have them in a big pan , on the counter, drying out..... Any suggestions for what I need to do?
I do dry canning without an oven and no heat. So easy, so fast. I put my dry product in the canning jars and pop in an oxygen absorber and the jars self-seal. You can kill larvae by freezing the product first before putting in a canning jar. Done! No electricity used for sealing jars. My food has been stored that way for more than 5 years with no bugs, no mold, etc....no issues. :)
@@CountryLivingExperience *No electricity used in sealing my jars...My freezer is always on and always being used anyways...my oven is not. ;) But great info on the oven canning. ;)
I too, just vacuum seal the dry goods in my mason jars without heating first. Also, you really don't have to freeze first either because the bugs can't survive in the vacuum sealed jar. I have never had an issue!
Thank you for this video. I'm just starting to learn how to do this. I have been trying to figure out how to save my back stock. This is a great option ☺️
@@CountryLivingExperience awesome thanks I will just use what I have first.. I have a book somewhere called canning for dummies 🤣 I promise it's a great book. I canned chicken soup once it was allot of fun
The other video I watched baked for 1 hr 50 min/ 90min on smaller jars at 220 degrees. All of our jars contained moisture. I have only done pickles and jam but really looking forward to the dry canning. Thank You
I managed to do the rice no problem. Had no issue doing the lentils. Had a little moisture in the black beans. I read that can be normal and that it will most likely get reabsorbed but i wasnt sure. Ended up popping them and swiping it with my finger to see if it was wet. Didnt feel too bad but i wasnt quite sure. Im gonna retry today after work. But it did work perfectly for my rice and lentils.
@@CountryLivingExperienceThanks for the info, the current situation of the world has me wanting to get my food situation sorted. Im getting a personal pantry of different things just in case things take a dive this year.

Thank you so much for the kind words. Glad that I was clear and concise.
This is an excellent tutorial video on dry canning!! Well done and thank you!!
Great video! Your method is very easy to understand. I tried your method with 3 jars, this is my first attempt to dry can.....and each of the jars popped!! I don't see any moisture, so good so far. I'm going to dry can more using your method. Thank you!! I'm subscribing to your channel. Have a great day!!
Thank you. We appreciate you being here.
I did see a lil moisture and I followed the instructions to the t, is there something I did wrong?
Interesting, very useful information In case of food shortage which I have no doubt can begin anytime soon here in the US
Glad it was helpful! I totally agree.
Dry canned for the first time today. It was exciting to hear the first “pop”.
Awesome!
I like the way you explained everything very well spoken
Thanks
I'm not new to canning. It's an interesting process. I enjoy doing it
Great
My first time seeing this video. You did a great presentation as well. It is going to be my first time at canning anything, Nervous, I am but I am eager to learn. I subscribed as I want to learn all that I can regarding food storage and canning.
Thank you. We have a few other videos on food preservation. Go check out our video page if you are interested.
Thank you for the great info. Love this video. You were clear and straight to the point. Please stop saying bugs, I know about them, just don't want to hear about them. I subscribed. looking forward to more content!
Thank you Jami and welcome to the channel.
Thanks So Much, I'm in MI too🌏
I'm going to do Rice today
Awesome
Me three.
@@marybrown7203 yay Mary
@@ladyvirgo013 Do you make Kombucha? I want to give it a try.
I like this because you can go with an easier rotation of these products. The challenge I have with the big gallon buckets is you’re still going to be opening them a lot to use the product. You can also use the vacuum seal adapter with the food saver.
Beautiful presentation you really made it look so easy thank you again
My pleasure
Very well done I enjoyed your instructions thank you
Thank you. Have a blessed day.
THANK YOU FOR THE SIMPLICITY OF THIS VIDEO! Can these be stored in a insulated storage building?
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching
250 degrees for 15 min, fill with dry goods, put back in oven for a half hour- leave some head space, wipe rim w/ damp cloth, place lid on jar
Correct. Additionally, lids go in for the last 15 min.
But every jars time will not be equal - if you are filling hot jar with beans and placing back in the oven ... then repeating process with each individual jar ... are you timing 30 minutes to each individual jar?
@@wernorse He could pull the cookie sheet out, set it on the door and fill all the jars without removing each one individually, would save time and steps.
I dont know if I didn't do it right but I didn't hear no popping
The lids still clicked can I re do them?
I have never caned anything yet. I have all the supplies, but keep putting it off. I have a lot of rice and want to do this. Very good video!
Thank you. This can be a very challenging process if there is too much moisture present in the product. I may suggest vacuum sealing rice and beans to start your canning experience.
I absolutely love your video! I have never canned anything in my life and I canned 5 jars of beans!! Thank you for helping me
Thank you.
If you have condensation that forms, switch to vacuum sealing the jars. It is difficult to dry can at this time of year because of the humidity.
Great video, with great info! You made things so simple.
Wonderful! Glad it helped.
Very timely video as I just got my most recent order of bulk beans, split peas, and lentils. I love the idea of using quart jars instead of buckets, like I've done in the past. Also, with the jars, you won't have to worry about rodents eating their way into your packaging. Some plastic containers and the mylar bags are not rodent proof. Using canning jars are a better option.
Glad it was helpful. That is one of the big reasons for this method. Nothing is going to get through those glass jars. I was always leery of the mylar bags when it came to rodents and certain insects.
You can always store your filled mylar bags in buckets with lids.
@@2lorishep, rodents will gnaw through a plastic bucket and then the Mylar bags.
I loved your step by step instructions but didn't consider one thing, I live in Florida and there is a lot of moisture, aka humidity this time of year. This is my 1st attempt at dry canning dried beans and used larger jars (1/2 gallon). I ended up with moisture inside the canning jars even though I followed instructions. Making a note that timing is everything, especially if you live in Fl., and possibly my jars were too big? Affirming the statement, "Size matters"
Florida is tough for this type of method, especially in the summer. 1/2 gallons need at least an hour but that is with a bean with less moisture. I might dry them out on a baking sheet in the oven at a low temp first and then add them to the jar.....or just save the dry canning for beans and rice and vacuum pack the beans.
I do a double sterilization with my dishwasher, I use the sanitize cycle. After the dishwasher I put them in the oven to make sure they are really dry and sanitized again. Yeah, OCD, lol. I started dry canning 4 years ago I love this method. Beans, rice and oatmeal. Great video!
That's awesome. Thank you.
Can salt and sugar and flour be dry canned
@@franceshenderson1334 All three can be dry canned. However, salt does not need to be.
Can dried pasta be dry canned?
I hit subscribe. 😊 I just started a channel a year and a half ago on hydroponics and now starting to introduce more homesteading - as we do it all the time. I dry my foods and put in cans or bags. Checking in to see what others do. 🎉 Thanks for the information!
Awesome. Welcome.
Thanks so much for this video! Exactly what I was looking for. Can you store powdered milk like this?
Yes, but you need a desiccant pack on top before sealing.
And thank you so much for sharing I'm going to be doing some dry canning so I greatly appreciate it
You are so welcome
Is doing this necessary for any reason? I've eaten rice over 10 years old, and it seemed fine, however beans are awfully tough at that age and need to be cooked a long time.
Does this prevent that? Also, how long should this last after doing this?
I just store my stuff in galvanized and food grade plastic trash cans, and it seems fine.
As he mentioned in the video it kills bugs and bug larvae that might be in the dry goods.
If you have any mice, the jars will keep them out whereas they have eaten through the plastic bags.
I had the same question. Regarding the bugs, wouldn't they be killed when you cook the rice, beans, etc.?
i love this idea. So the total for beans at 250 is 30 minutes and you add the canning lids at the 15 minute point. Great presentation. I'm looking forward to more.
Thanks. Yes 250 for 30. Beans are very difficult in the summer and in areas with high humidity though. I usually end up vacuum sealing them at this time of year.
Wow, I Really Like This Way Of Dry Canning !
Thank you for this really well-done video. Will this process work with quinoa? I think it’s dry enough but I don’t know about its oil content... And would the color of the quinoa matter (beige, red, black)?
It should work with quinoa. I don’t believe the oil content is that high and it stays fairly dry.
@@CountryLivingExperience - Thanks! :-)
Would the 30 minute time work for 1/2 gallon jars,or would I need to extend the time? Going to vann rice a 1/2 gallon fits our usage better than quart.
I would actually go about 45 minutes to an hour for 1/2 gallon jars.
@@CountryLivingExperience thanks
Would that time frame be for both sterilization time (without anything in the jar) and after you fill it and pop it back in with the item you’re canning?
Would I be able to also add an oxygen absorber once they cool off?
Great video! How long do the beans stay in the oven before removing them?
30 minutes for a quart jar. Be careful with beans because their moisture content can be very high.
Thank you for explaining this 😊I am not confused anymore
You’re welcome
Excellent video...and now I have a plan on all of the dry goods I just bought. Thank you for explaining it so well.
You are so welcome!
I loved your video. It’s nice to have the “why.” I canned beans and brown rice today. I followed your method, except I used 1/2 gallon jars instead of quarts. Everything “Popped” sealed, but by the time I got the last jar done. I noticed the other jars had moisture buildup up on the inside of the jar. Are these beans and rice ruined?
Thank you. The jar that got moisture in it will have to be completely redone. It must have cooled a bit before you got the lid on or didn’t seal properly.
Country Living Experience: A Homesteading Journey What am I doing wrong? Everyone of them sealed. But they have moisture in them. The moisture left, the next day but the beans are wrinkled, which leads me to believe it’s in the beans. What should I do? If you can help it would be great.
@@sheilajarboe4437 It sounds like it is the beans. They are not dry. I would try to dehydrate them in a food dehydrator before trying again. That is the only thing I can think of. Store bought dried beans should not be doing that.
@@CountryLivingExperience You also used larger jars. Another video says to "cook" for 90 minutes if you use a 1/2 gallon jar since there is so much more material. Also, like when you make jerky, crack the oven door for a little while at the end to let any pent up moisture vent from the oven. I just use a wood spoon to prop it open the last 10 - 15 minutes.
Thank you for the video. I’ve done rice and it woks great. But can I can wheat berries this way?
You're welcome. Sorry, you cannot dry can the wheat berries because they still have the bran and germ layers which hold oils and moisture.
I'd want to wash the rice and leave it to dry out completely before dry canning because rice has arsenic in it and I had a friend from China where their family worked in the rice fields and she told me that they get pushed all over a dirty floor.
Great video. I have canned for ages and never knew about this. Hey check out Castle Hives. Great Bee Keeping channel
Thanks! Will do! Bees are in my future.
Very sanitary educational of the perfect way to store dry good with basic equipment
Thank you
Giving this a try today
Though I'm a bit confused on certain methods a lot of things online say 200 degrees for an hour and your method is 250 degrees for 30 minutes. So I'm going to split the difference at 220 for 45 minutes. On a small test run lol
I like your video because it's short and direct to the point.
Thank you. The higher temperature is correct as it kills every possible contaminant properly.
Update. It worked
Lids sealed. Only did white rice.
I did the 250 for 30 minutes. And the pooped sealed perfectly.
Popped. Lol.
@@kellinobelly1230 Lol. I was hoping they didn't poop.
very good point on putting empty jars in oven at 250 for 15 minutes to sterilize...thanks..
You're a nice looking and knowledgeable guy lol, thanks for the teachings. I'm new with canning and things.
Subscribed because of this
Welcome to the channel.
Greetings. I am canning using this method today. I didn’t have enough of one bean to fill all jars so I ended up doing pintos, black eyed peas, black beans, lentils and flour (all in separate jars of course 😂). Pray my success.
Hello. Be aware that beans and peas are extremely difficult. They must be very low moisture to work. The flour you should have no issues with.
I use a vacuum sealer. Comes with specialized caps for sealing manson jars. Makes a for very strong vacuum. Cannot get the lids (tattler type only) off by hand, thats how strong it is.
Thank you for the detailed video. I'm definitely interested in preserving my dry goods such as beans and rice.
Many years ago I got botulism from store bought spaghetti sauce. Worst experience of my life.
You're welcome. You must be cautious with everything you buy or preserve yourself. Beans are a challenge because of the moisture they hold. You may need to vacuum seal them.
Good info. Thanks.
You're welcome
WOW wow wow I love the story
Thanks
Best video I found on dry canning. Subbed
Cool
Very nicely done video. Informational and to the point.
Glad it was helpful!
so helpful, i love the way u explain it. i watched a lot of dry canning videos before, but this is the best explained video, thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video on Dry Canning!
Thank you! Cheers!
Ty for video for my wife
Thanks for all the info. Right to the point. Great instructions. Now I can get all that flour out of my freezer.
Glad it was helpful!
For flour that has been in the freezer ck to see how long it needs to be at room temperature before dry canning. Just in case there is moisture.
I may watch it again, & again & again........ Thank you!-!!!.🙃😁
You're welcome
Excellent video. I've been researching and was leaning towards Mylar bags until finding your video and channel.
Thank you very much for your clear explanation. It was very informative ana helpful. Keep up the great work 👍🏽🙏🏽🇺🇸
Thanks. Keep in mind this is an extremely difficult process especially with beans. Try multiple methods.
@@CountryLivingExperience you're welcome and will do!
This will be my first year growing and canning. I was seriously beginning to think you couldn't do dry goods. Thank you for this video. If I had to use a pressure cooker to do this method what would it consist of? I currently only have a convection oven. Also if the USDA has come out and said that you can safely can dry goods, why are so many people still saying you can't?
Wow! You packed a whole lot of info in 12 minutes! I'm going to check out your list of dry foods that can be preserved this way. It was super easy to understand and I really appreciate you dispelling myths about canning this way, as well as the science behind it. I'm not especially smart and it takes me FOREVER to learn anything. It's really frustrating for me and I can't do anything about it....it's just the way it is for me. This method is so simple, a kid could do this. I just hope I can find all the stuff to do this.
Glad we could help. Be careful with the beans. They are extremely difficult sometimes because of the amount of moisture they hold. I usually vacuum seal them.
I tried to dry can store bought dried black eyed peas today, but the the jars kept showing moisture.....I washed my jars and put them in the oven for thirty minutes.....do you think the store bought peas just had soaked up a lot of moisture in the store? I tried 3 times, and still had moisture, so I just have them in a big pan , on the counter, drying out..... Any suggestions for what I need to do?
Such a clear, quick and precise video you made it easy and enjoyable to watch thanks 😊 👍
Glad it was helpful!
Nice, thanks for showing us. Take care.
You’re welcome
Best explanation so far thank you,
You're welcome
Just did some rice and beans. I want to do oats next! Thanks
I do this all the time. I have used flour that was several years old with no problems.
Nice!
I do dry canning without an oven and no heat. So easy, so fast. I put my dry product in the canning jars and pop in an oxygen absorber and the jars self-seal. You can kill larvae by freezing the product first before putting in a canning jar. Done! No electricity used for sealing jars. My food has been stored that way for more than 5 years with no bugs, no mold, etc....no issues. :)
That is a good way to do it as well although a different process. (the freezer still uses electricity though ;-) Thanks for sharing.
@@CountryLivingExperience *No electricity used in sealing my jars...My freezer is always on and always being used anyways...my oven is not. ;) But great info on the oven canning. ;)
I too, just vacuum seal the dry goods in my mason jars without heating first. Also, you really don't have to freeze first either because the bugs can't survive in the vacuum sealed jar. I have never had an issue!
@@hollykostera7826 Amen! I don't freeze all of my product before dry canning...but I do freeze it if I can't get to it right away. 😊
@@littleladybugpatch makes sense!!
Great information!! Thank you 😊👍👏
My pleasure!
The heat for sterilizing vacuum sealer works well for sealing each time e you use some
Thank you for this video. I'm just starting to learn how to do this. I have been trying to figure out how to save my back stock. This is a great option ☺️
You're welcome. Vacuum sealing works well too.
@@CountryLivingExperience awesome thanks I will just use what I have first.. I have a book somewhere called canning for dummies 🤣 I promise it's a great book. I canned chicken soup once it was allot of fun
The other video I watched baked for 1 hr 50 min/ 90min on smaller jars at 220 degrees. All of our jars contained moisture. I have only done pickles and jam but really looking forward to the dry canning. Thank You
You can cook them longer. 30 min at 250f is the minimum.
I managed to do the rice no problem. Had no issue doing the lentils. Had a little moisture in the black beans. I read that can be normal and that it will most likely get reabsorbed but i wasnt sure. Ended up popping them and swiping it with my finger to see if it was wet. Didnt feel too bad but i wasnt quite sure. Im gonna retry today after work. But it did work perfectly for my rice and lentils.
Beans can be extremely difficult to do as they tend to hold a lot of moisture.
@@CountryLivingExperience Thanks for the quick reply. With the slight moisture would they still be alright?
If they have some moisture, I would tend to redo them. If it persists, switch to freezing and then vacuum sealing.
@@CountryLivingExperienceThanks for the info, the current situation of the world has me wanting to get my food situation sorted. Im getting a personal pantry of different things just in case things take a dive this year.
Very smart Leo. Preparedness in today's world is a must.
Thanks for the great information!
