Food Poisoning?
Comments (4)Back in college I had 2 friends who were getting married on the same weekend, one Fri and one on Sat. They both used the same caterer and it ended up I was unable to attend the Sat wedding (many others as well) due to having food poisoning. Evidently the caterer made big batches of foods too far in advance and although the food tasted good, bacteria was well at work. Aside from having the mumps as a child, it was the sickest I had ever been in my life and to date. So, I feel for you on that one! It wasn't just the um, "going" from either end but the headache was unbearable. Did you ever follow up and see if others got sick from the same foods? We knew what caused our sickness because a lot of the same people were to attend the next wedding and even one of the groomsmen fell out during the ceremony! Lori...See MoreReuse Canning Lids?
Comments (85)Some foods from the store come with one-piece lids in a mason size and thread shape. For example, coconut oil and some kinds of spaghetti sauce. I can with those lids, and I use them multiple times. They have much thicker seal than the flat lids sold for canning. Thicker even than the one-piece lids that used to be sold for canning back in the 80s. I wouldn't use them for low acid pressure canned stuff, of course. I don't think I've ever reused a flat lid, but I would consider it if I just needed one or two more lids for a low acid product like applesauce. I would pick through all my old lids and choose the ones with the best looking seals, the shallowest grooves from old canning. I posted a question here a while back, about some new jars with lids that had been stored on a warm porch where they sealed and unsealed themselves many times. When I pried the lids off, they had visible grooves. But I was advised to go ahead and simmer them and use them, and I didn't have any trouble with them. Again, high acid, BWB only. Edit: I mean, the one piece Lids from the 80s were marketed as reusable. Up to four times, if I remember correctly....See MoreFood poisoning? So, are we all gonna die?
Comments (18)Oh no, I'm very glad you didn't eat it. I got food poisoning last year from one of my favorite meals (chicken tikka masala) and spent three awful days in my pajamas. I haven't made that dish or bought the yogurt I used again. The yogurt was the only difference I could figure between what I ate and what my husband ate. I'd mixed up a tiny little bowl with some vanilla sugar as a snack while I was cooking and my husband only had the cooked yogurt on the chicken. I know it wasn't the dinner itself, but I still can't get around my mental block. I would hate for you to have such a negative association with something you love. Long story short I'm very glad you didn't eat that hamburger! Bri...See MoreElevated Temp with Food Poisoning?
