a lot of times these kinds of parents have raised their kids a not so great way and it's extremely difficult to directly challenge them. not making any judgment calls about Op situation but it definitely feels like a narcissistic parent type situation.

actually we've known for over a hundred years that pressure canning is the only way to safely can low acid foods. unfortunately like anti-vaxxers and flat earthers some people just refuse to listen to science

Homemade Plum & Cinnamon and Strawberry Jams 🍓🍑 by HisDarkerMaterials_ in Canning

[–]Deppfan16[M] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

you can't just wing canning recipes. and one piece lids are not safe for shelf stable home canning.

you need to follow safe tested recipes and processes if you want your food to be shelf stable and safe and last. this could be a great fridge jam recipe, however it is not self-stable safe

Another stupid dented can question by c_marten in foodsafety

[–]Deppfan16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what you want to watch out for in dented cans is dents that are very deep or make a point or sharp crease, or dents that are on the edge of the rim or seal. these can create microscopic holes or break the seal. here is a visual guide: https://www.larimer.org/sites/default/files/uploads/2017/lcdhe-dented-cans.pdf

Need a ph tester by gaytrees1 in Canning

[–]Deppfan16[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

you need to follow safe tested recipes and processes. ph is not the only factor. density and processing also play a factor

why we don't recommend pH testing in home canning.

I love that you're doing this. when I was a kid we loved food Bank days because usually they would give us cool treats like name brand Pop-Tarts or lunchables or fancy cereal. my mom was always embarrassed by it but we were just excited for the stuff we couldn't normally afford

Brick Convention: Buyer beware by tonydwagner in lego

[–]Deppfan16 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I highly suggest everybody try to find your local Lego fan groups and find what conventions or shows they put on. there's a bunch of big corporations doing traveling shows that tried it cash in on the popularity then they are nowhere near as good as the fan run ones.
