Canning isn't safe just by calling it safe. It must be done safely, following tried and true and SAFE procedures. Consider, first, what one ardent canner has to say:
Hassle Free Canning
Sounds good doesn't it? It sounds simple too. Yet, is this really what you should be doing? There is much of value put into words here, yet there are also, it seems, strong possibilities that there are procedures being suggested that might be best NOT followed. Here's what an observant reader has to say:
A RebuttalI am a trained Master Food Preserver and Food Safety Advisor. I work at my local county extension office as Program Assistant for the Master Food Preservers program. I teach safe food preservation and have done so for the past 11 years . Your information on canning cheese is very unsafe and dangerous. For one thing, no dairy is safe to can. Especially dangerous is your advice to use a water bath canner. There is no possible way for botulism to be destroyed in a boiling water bath canner. The milk and cheese are low acid foods, and if they could be safely canned it would require a pressure canner. If it could be safely canned, the time it would take for those items would be so long that the food would be inedible. Please, I am
asking you to remove that information. The same would go for storing the
cheese in wax. Only some types of cheese would be safe to do in that manner.
One that was very hard and very dry. Not something such as cheddar should be
done in this manner.
The Lesson to be learned: DON'T believe everything you read. Research! Study! Reference more than one source! Check with those who possess known, reliable expertise! Err on the side of safety rather than of convenience. And if you come across what you feel to be erroneous advice, it wouldn't hurt to point that out. That's exactly what Linda has done. It just might be a lifesaving warning for someone who doesn't recognize the potential danger in what is being said.
