Baking in canning jars?
Comments (12)Here's a webpage that summarizes the issues with cakes in jars. Basically it comes down to 1) Jarden, etc. does not warrant the jars for this usage and assumes no liability 2) Sealing the warm cakes in the jars presents certain food safety risks. (I do think it's silly to warn people to use oven mitts when removing the hot jars. Only if you're not in your right mind would you grab anything hot out of the oven!) That being said, it seems if you want to bake small cakes (i.e. pint-size) in jars, let them cool, apply a lid and refrigerate or freeze, they're fine. Maybe someone with some experience actually baking in jars will come on and share. I never have because it just seems so much simpler to me to bake in small loaf pans, wrap and freeze. I also get loaf-cake-size paper liners (like cupcake liners) at a cake-decorating store. They come in white and red (seasonal) and make it so easy to gift. Pan cleanup is super-easy and I can wrap the loaf with its paper or place it in a cellophane bag with a bow. (Sorry, kind of OT there.)

Comments (6)I'm still using canning jars older than this. LOL. If you have the really old ones.......blue or with the bails on them, they are collectable but anything newer is of interest mainly to people who can. Have you looked at the price of them lately? I haunt auctions, kids cleaning out granny's estate sales, and Goodwill for cheap jars. You'll have to educate yourself if you have any collectable ones and set them aside to sell as novelties.....and the rest should fetch a decent price (since new ones are about a dollar apiece) if broken down into lots and sold to folks who need to use them. I prolly have at least 500 jars and will still buy more in a good canning year....See MoreMason Jar Lid Pie
Comments (13)That would be perfect for us loners. I haven't done any canning for many years, so don't have any lids, but I think I will round up a few and try that out. Always looking for something to freeze for later. I remember my mother made the left over pie dough cookies. She sprinkled sugar, cinnamon, a little canned milk, and sometimes cocoa, over them before baking, and called them "stickies." I also made them for my children.

Comments (9)im doing this in order to know more or less what type of soil i have. I am undergoing landscaping and choosing plants and want to know what I have in place. In a previous thread, someone had recommended this test to have a ball park. It's not to have a precise measure, but in this case - if correct - the precision is irrelevant because it seems most is silt. Morpheus, what is your suspicion? Hmm interesting you say yours is about 3 grains of sand and 99% silt. I understand you are from CentralPA or something like that? That's where I am located so I think that might have something to do with it! I'll redo it once more in a different jar and different location from yard as well....See Morekayskats
