You can also purchase supplies at the Home Storage Centers (cans, lids, oxygen absorbers and some bulk items).
For liability reasons, the canners cannot be used in an LDS Church building.
When you are ready to check-out the portable canner, remember to buy:
- Products: You can purchase the bulk food, click here to look at a order form needed for your dry-packing from the storage center, or dry-pack your own store-bought commodities.
- Cans: The #10 cans (approximately 3.5 quarts) of dry food – they are rodent proof and highly resistant to puncture and moisture. Calculate the amount of cans you need for the product to be dry-packed – this information is available on the Provident Living order form.
- Lids: They are necessary to seal your cans – you also should have white plastic lids to close the cans after opening them.
- Oxygen absorbers: Should be placed on top of the food before sealing the can (except for granulated sugar)– they protect dry food from insect damage and help preserve product quality. The oxygen absorbers remove oxygen more effectively than vacuum packaging. Products dry-packed with oxygen absorbers must be low in moisture and oil content – if moisture content is not low enough, botulism poisoning may result.
- Boxes: 6 #10 cans can be stored in a cardboard box available at the storage center - cans stored in right size boxes stack very well.
- Labels: They are free if you purchase products from the dry-pack cannery – date your cans and your boxes.
