@nonya68 7 ай бұрын

Yes, but canning your own them leaves you with thousands of glass mason jars that take up room and potentially can create bacterial growth. It's not written the trouble. Plus, they get really heavy for traveling with. It's just a pain to can. I started that but nolonger.

@Mommadragon1976 6 ай бұрын

We have a variety of canned meats, but I want to try canning and freeze drying my own, both for the health benefits and the price point We will continue to use and stock the store bought though, because it's much easier and has a long shelf life. To me, having a variety of different options seems like a good way to go.

I would go with the Best By dates because they are in polymer lined cans not glass ! And in a can I would not push it to best by date ! And even if they were in glass not very much more than the best by dates ! Rotate your stock ! And avoid the ones that have other ingredients such as preservatives !

@twinfin8571 7 ай бұрын

I agree with dw387. Mt aunt had cans of ham etc for decades in her basement. She died 15 or so years ago at 98 yrs old. Back then there were no dates on the cans. As long as the can isn’t dented or compromised, it’s fine. I’m speaking about solid cans. The new pull top ring cans is another thing. Avoid them for long term storage and if you have pull tops, check for leakage or slight opening around the top. Use them first. They’re still good if beyond best date but more likely to have issues with that easy to open top. Any cans you’re storing that gets air should be thrown away. Best Buy dates…….marketing agenda. A ton of good food gets thrown out by people who don’t know the corporation gimmicks. “Scare them. Make them think we’re saving them.” They spread fear and they get rich. Just look at the past few years of fear. And more coming soon. Anyway. Do what you want. If you feel safe and you’re happy that’s all that counts.

@tomboatman2541 7 ай бұрын

The acids in the food and the salt dissolve the polymer lining in the can so the longer the can sites the more toxic chemicals that leach into the food ! So you will not know it but you are eating poison then ! Glass is your best bet for long term storage ! And even then only a couple of years ! If you are worried about starving learn how to cure meat 🍖🥓 with salt ! I am going to be short on this or can it your self no pressure cooker or water bath needed ! Cook the meat while it is boiling put it in sterilized canning jars and seal them ! All those other hoops they have people jumping through is " Their " misinformation to make it harder than it needs to be and more of a chance of it going bad !

I’ve yet to buy Great Value canned chicken that didn’t smell and taste like tuna. Even my children questioned whether I had sneaked fish into their “chicken” dish. Members Mark (Sam’s) on the other hand smelled and tasted like chicken. I have often considered sending the Great Value for a DNA test just to see if it is actual chicken and if it is, why it smells and tastes so “fishy.” I’ll be sticking with Members mark and Kirkland until I get the answer. Thank you for the time and effort you put into this comparison and for noticing the Great Value has a “different” taste than any of the others.

I really appreciate what you do on this channel brother, you save a ton of people a lot of work, and that's awesome. So this rebuttal isn't really pointed at you specifically.

Pinto Beans: Cal/$100 -- 141,120. Grams Protein/$100 -- 15,288. Fat -- 0. Sodium -- 0. Cholesterol -- 0. Shelf life -- longer than ours, and way longer than that chicken.

I live on Vancouver Island I have never seen canned chicken in any supermarket where I live, though I have heard that Costco sells it, but there is no Costco in the small City I live in. It does comfort me to know that Kirkland got such a good score as if I were to drive to another City I could get to a Costco. I have been pressure-canning my own chicken over the past three years. Chicken thighs are much more tasty and tender when home canned, than chicken breasts I have found.

And costcos canned chicken tastes ok, I can deal with it lol. But after watching this, I just might stick with Sams brand. Especially after seeing the “calories” column. After all, if you’re depending on your preps to survive you’re going to want/need those calories. But where I live and plan on hopefully surviving an emergency, white tail deer, rabbits, cat fish, crappie, and bass are def going to be MAJOR supplements to our food preps. For the most part I can take those animals with my bow and not have to use precious ammo to harvest, possibly giving away our position, and the rod and reel are always silent 🤫

'your back up should have a back up' as some service men might say. For the sake of variety, I purchase different brands of the same product personally. A person can get sick of even their most favorite thing.

Great job. I buy the Sam's all the time and they are often on sale making it a better value. One of my favorite survival meals is a box of Zatarain's Jambalaya mix and a can of Sam's chicken. One box, one can, and 20 minutes.

But you have to take into consideration what you're combining it with. It's not likely someone will be eating only the chicken. You'll most likely be combining it with other ingredients in a recipe. So the taste test is not truly anywhere near as important as the other models. Such as amount vs cost. But great video of the options!! I learned something. Thanks!

@americanmom6946 8 ай бұрын

buy an electric or traditional pressure canner, buy the jars and lids, watch the youtube videos, and can your own chicken in bone broth (made from the carcass bones) so you know what is in your meat. this allows you to take your cooked dump-and-go meals.

I home can chicken. Far cheaper than buying it in the can. I also buy the biggest Thanksgiving turkey, then can the leftovers the next day.

When it comes to survival it's not gonna make a dam difference you will be thankful for what you have trust me I was homeless for a few years and 9 months of that time was spent in a wiki up in 1988

We made a panel of 6 people and did a canned chicken challenge. Unfortunately nobody liked any of the canned chicken unlike the white albacore tuna challenge where everything was eaten without issue. 💪😎

I like the 5 oz cans best anyway, as it's just me cooking and I often want a single meal with no leftovers. I agree (somewhat) with your overall winner, but I thought Kirkland was a close second.

Not sure if anyone else pointed this out, but your scores from the taste test did not get carried into the totals page correctly. Compare the page at 12:31 to the totals at 12:41.

@karensullivan6545 7 ай бұрын

This was very helpful. Have you considered comparing home canned chicken with any store bought canned chicken or freeze dried chicken? As we plug away with stocking shelf stable proteins, it is very helpful to see such a thorough study of quality and price with chicken. Thank you for your scientific study.

I get Kirkland chicken at Costco all the time at 12.99 / 6pack, so it is 2.16/can instead of 2.5/can, which brings the pounds of chicken meat per $100 to 20.71, which is the best value according to your chart. The same Kirkland chicken costs a lot more at Amazon or Ebay. I am ignoring membership fee since you get some bonus check at the end of the year. Very good job you did on the test and chart.

Should reveal which company is behind the Sam’s and Kirkland, probably one of the other companies represented in the test.

I just purchased Canned Chicken Breast today for the first time in my life, haven't tried it yet. I was revolted by the thought of canned chicken, however a shopper told me she makes a very good Chicken Salad w/it. I draw the line w/Roast Beef, no way...😂 I appreciate this video, thank you ...

Home canning meats is really EZ. I like controlling, choosing the meat and salt. Home caning also gives the opportunity to smoke brine or seasonings wanted.

How does Sam’s chicken have 2x more calories & protein per ounce (at the same price) than Costco’s? Is it magic chicken? Doubtful, since Costco tasted better.

Nice, or just learn how to pressure can your own. That way you know what's in it. And can control the salt. I precook mine before canning it.

In the video you scored kirkland as a 3.0 in the taste test, but on your tally sheet you gave it a 1 in taste. If you transferred your score from the video it would tie for 2nd place
