People
have always had to find ways to keep food safe to eat. Methods to dry, smoke
and salt food were invented thousands of years ago. This storage method keeps food safe to eat for
long periods of time. Today, canning is one of the most popular methods of
storing food.
Clean
fruits or vegetables are placed in glass bottles. The food can be put into the
bottles either hot or cold. The cold method is used for soft fruits and
vegetables that could lose their shape or taste. They take up less space in the bottles.
After
the food has been placed in glass bottles, boiling water is poured into the
bottles to about three centimeters below the top. The bottles are placed in a large container
filled with warm water that is then brought to a boil.
The
water must completely cover the bottles, from three to five centimeters over
the top. When the water boils, any air in the bottles will be expelled. The
boiling continues for several minutes. Then the bottles are allowed to cool.
Finally, they are placed briefly into cold water. In other words, a vacuum (真空)is created.
When
the bottles are completely cool, notes can be placed on them to identify what
is inside. The bottles can then be stored in a cool, dark place at a
temperature of between 4℃ and 21℃.
It is also a good way to store food for six
months to a year, or even several years, in case of an emergency. It does not
cost much to continue canning every year once the equipment has been purchased.
A. The process of canning is much more recent.
B This makes a strong barrier to keep the air out. C. One popular method of canning uses a water bath. D. Firmer fruits and most vegetables are usually cooked. E. Canning uses heat to kill bacteria that cause poisons to form in food. F. Then covers are placed on the bottles, but they are not turned all the way. G. Canning allows your family to enjoy foods that might not come fresh throughout the year.
