Ordered some dry egg and dried milk....when it arrives i will bag it up in mylar bags with oxygen obsorber....as i have stated in the past (when tins go wrong ) i have switched to this dry method , as for glass jars ....i like this method ...for the reasons Mary points out and indeed took delivery of some Mason Jars few weeks back....this method is very popular in the US and for good reason, watched a few vids on Ytube .....hot canning .....and probably the best way for us preppers , Mason Jars (and spare lids) are not cheap.......but in my case....a lot cheaper than throwing stuff out.....Mason Jars win hands down ! so the lesson here is (newbies) and oldies start off how you mean to carry on....do Not do what i did.....buy lots of stuff as quick as possible, mass supplies thinking you have enough for you or your group....the bigger the group the bigger the problems you WILL hit....you are not covered at ALL....You will end up a tit like yours truly.....just because i am here on SUK does Not mean i become a expert overnight ...having said that they are some great threads by members that give great advice....back to canning....MB ..CH...and JP may well have some points to share ....i would imagine they use this method ...with great success.......or anyone else come to that .....let us know .
