Can I store pancake mix like this?
@lisamcclellan3913 жыл бұрын
Very good question. Thank you for asking. From the information that I have read the answer is no, due to the baking powder that is added to the mix. In my opinion the best way to store pancake mix or biscuit mix is in the freezer. Please let me know if you find another way to store this. I hope this helps.

I wash all my jars and soapy hot water and then I rinse them and put them in the dishwasher on the hottest cycle that there is and then after they're dry from the dishwasher I placed them upside down on the rack in the oven or upright is okay and I leave them in the oven empty at 225 degrees for 20 minutes I then remove my jars carefully and I feel them with my pasta I then put them back in the oven but on a cookie sheet since they're full and I set my timer for 1 hour I then take them back out of the oven and I put clean hot dry flat lids and rings on them but prior to that I put one oxygen absorber in each jar before I seal them and I let them sit on my counter on a towel for 24 hours before I put them away for storage I do the exact same thing to all of my dried beans

This is def not usda approved form of canning! You are not killing Botulism spores and you’re encouraging moisture from inside the grain and and pasta to collect inside the jar and cause mold. Please do not do this and think it is safe! Please visit the usda website or any canning extension office for further help in storing these foods. The Ball Book of canning is also an approved source!!

The ball book is tested by Ball, not FDA. People out west have dry canned since there were jars. It's better than leaving in bags or cardboard. In the oven should've posted 212, boiling, so 220 is fine, not 200. That's. The only thing I see different in her methods.

I freeze flour, Bisquik, and sugar after after vacuum sealing. As well, i have vacuum sealed pasta and even after a few years, it was still good to go. Storing Kraft Mac & Cheese , for example, the pasta was fine, but the dried cheese packet didn't fare as well. it gets clumpy and loses some texture. That was four year old Mac & Cheese. I have not tried dry canning, but I found this interesting. I will have to try this. Quick question, why the mirror videoing?

I am puzzled I haven't experienced that. Sometimes you may have a faulty lid that would cause it not to seal but I don't think that is the problem since you are having numerous leads that aren't sealing. Did you wipe the top ring of the jar good to make sure there was no crumbs? That would cause the lids no to seal. Again I am just trying to guess. I'm still using mine from 2 years ago. I'll keep trying to think

No problem. Thank you so much for your questions. In my opinion your empty jars are put in the oven to sterilise and to make sure your jars are completely dry. After filing your jars they are placed back in the oven. That helps ensure that any moisture is removed and bugs or larva is killed. And yes when you add the lids it does replace a sealing machine.
