ANY ONE CANNING IN TINS?

[Betty Boop]

Thinking I would like to see if canning in tins is feasable, any one know where to buy machine and supplies? What is the cost factor? Or should I stick with glass jars?
Thanks for any info.

easier to get salmon jars you just need a good pressure cookeronce you have cans and can lid machine tinningputs out a great product with minimum effort

Not yet. I've been using the glass jars for years for canning everything. Recently a Buddy of mine found in storage his old canning machine, along with several cases of tins. He's selling me the works soon, so I'll be experimenting with that shortly now.

Letcha know as it goes...

Cheers,

Not to hijack but whats the best way to prepare canned salmon? Just like tuna? I canned a big whitey this summer and havent found it that good.

i just put in the salmon and add nothing i like canned salmon and mayo sandwiches if i want salt i add it later not before.

Recipes section has a couple threads on canning suggestions.

Seems like canning in jars is way more eco friendly because they are reusable. The tins are neat, but is there any benefit to them? (Seriously,)

I was thinking that cans (tins) would be more convienient to take away in a camper, no glass jars to wash up and drag back home once empty. Not the worry of breakage when traveling in camper. Cost would be another consideration.

Breakage makes sense. Like taking boxes of wine on the boat, rather than bottles.

Have been canning salmon for many years. Easy and convenient.
1 tsp. coarse salt per tin. If fish is not deboned 1 tsp. white vinegar will break them down. Preference to boning, including wing bones for me.
90 min. at 10 psi.
New type cans are tapered, may need to adjust some older type canners.

Now why didn't I think of that?
