If I were going to buy #10 cans of food, I have found the way I would use them. If you don't know what a #10 can is, think commercial cans of food. Only, the food is dehydrated. Chef Tess combines the dehydrated food in a quart jar in order to have a meal ready to add water and cook. Let's have some willing suspension of disbelief and pretend we will always have plenty of water. Go on over there and have a look at her site. She puts prepares 52 jars of food, all the same recipe.
Maybe my dehydrated food could be put in a jar, ready to make a pot of soup in the winter, like I mentioned last fall. I would not have dehydrated beef....hmmm. Plus, I could probably put the vegetables in a pint jar and use canned tomatoes in a quart jar. Make that two quarts of canned tomatoes. Then, very little water would be needed for the final product.
If I learned to can beef, I would be set! So, there's a project for me. I would have a meal in for jars!
She appears to be affiliated with a freeze-dried food company. However, she has excellent ideas. No, I am not getting any remuneration for saying this.
Also, check out her painted bread. If I could bake bread, I might try bread painting. One skill at a time here folks. Painted bread is the kind of thing I see in magazines and think, "Ooooh, how pretty."
Your turn
Have you ever made meals in a jar? Have you used any #10 cans of food? Have you ever heard of painted bread or made any?
Wow, that is an amazing blog! Thanks for sharing it....I am not sure if I will do this but it sure looks like a good answer for my daughter while she is in a dorm and my son in his first apartment too....
ReplyDeleteI did not think about dorm life. They could probably set up their own assembly line in your and do it themselves. If they did not want a gallon of soup, you all could experiment with pints of mix.
