Dry Canning Beans And Rice For Long Term Storage (How To)

Items to dry can (all with 10% or less moisture content and no oils):
Flour, lentils, dry beans, dry peas, some crackers, powdered milk, pasta (non-egg based), dehydrated foods that you can snap in half (less than 10% moisture), freeze dried foods, oatmeal, baking soda, baking powder, bread crumbs, some cereals, powdered milk, seasonings, pretzels, instant potatoes.

**Disclaimer. This method has not been approved by canning authorities because of the potential for the presence of botulism spores. "The spores usually do not cause people to become sick, even when they're eaten. But under certain conditions, these spores can grow and make one of the most lethal toxins known. The conditions in which the spores can grow and make toxin are: Low-oxygen or no oxygen (anaerobic) environment." Spores are rendered inert at between 240f and 250f.

I looked at so many different videos that my head is spinning. But you did such a great job explaining about botulinum and dry canning that I can easy understand. Thanks so much.

Thanks for the info.
Canning 20 # of Basmati rice right now.
FYI 20 # of rice fits into six 1/2 gallon Ball jars with 1 cup left over.

I’ve been doing this for a while now, however, the only thing I do is stick my good dry goods in the freezer for 72 hours and then I use my vacuum sealer with the Mason jar adapter to vacuum seal them, works like a charm.

@8:44 you go from talking about placing jars back in the oven to Lids, you said put lids in for last 15 min of process. You never gave length of time for the process, I watched a couple of times to make sure. thanks for the great video.

[CAGAWI]

I love this content and the teaching, but would be super grateful for typed instructions in the comments or description. It’s very hard for me to make sense of the timing for this without scrolling for comments. Thank you!

[bradmetcalf]

I'm going to differ on the need for headspace on dry good's, there is already to much air in the jar as it is. As long as there is not so much product in the jar that it would prevent the lid from popping your fine. The fuller it is the less air that is in it which is the goal.

One of the best videos I’ve seen for dry canning, thank you for your complete explanation and shared info

[suzybailey-koubti]

Thank you so very much for this video! Even though I learned to can in the 1960’s with my Mamaw, it still scares me to this day. I’m almost 65 and I can still remember her strict voice. I must get busy with my 50 lbs of rice and 50-60 lbs of beans, 30 lbs of sugar, 30 lbs of flour. Hahahaha! I’ll be dry canning ‘til the cows come home! 🙏

[AYAZ]

Thank you this was my first attempt at canning "anything" and so I started with white rice. Perfect explanations with sound reasoning and every jar ping'ed!!

[cindyspence]

Thanks so much for sharing this method. We all need to prepare for uncertain times we are living in. You are a blessing to many and I thank you and appreciate you much. Greetings from Africa!

[theresalogsdon]

You dont pick your beans?.
You know pouring them out on a Pan or Towel and remove the Debris before Canning?
Sometimes, it's just broken beans, a rock or a piece of the Stem from the plants. Most have some, others alot and some none.
That was passed down to me as a rule for Dry Canning Beans from Gma and Mom. Nothing wrong with not. But thought everyone did this. Lol.
Thanks for show this. It helps alot of Beginners and ones who have been Canning for awhile. ❤🙏❤️🙏

I’ve been canning for 60 years never heard of this. Goes to show different strokes for different folks. You come from the north western part of United States and I come from the south desert West. We are a semi arid desert never heard of this, but might give it a try. I have had excellent results with oxygen absorbers . This method seems a little cheaper. We do dry can potatoes and root vegetables. Similar to this.

[stephaniern]

Already on round 2! Thanks, we will never waste dry food again!

[pinemeadowshobbyfarmafruga]

Thank you for this tutorial. I am washing up my canning jars for dry canning my flour - beans - peas - rice and barley. This is useful.

[crochetgottaloveit]

How long did you have them in the oven after filling the jars?
I know the empty jars were in there for 15 minutes at 250°F. I'm just unclear on how long to leave them in the oven after they are filled.
Thanks for making this video on dry canning. This is new to me and I have a bunch of dried beans and rice to try this dry canning with.

[indiareiss]

Thank you so much for this video! You were so articulate and made it easy enough to follow that for the first time I felt confident enough to try it! I've now dry canned over a hundred quart jars of my favorite beans, rice, legumes, and flour! ❤

[Darkice]

I just finished canning a bunch of Brussel sprouts. I cut them in half, the use salt, honey or brown sugar, peppers, onions and garlic. It makes awesome little poppers.
