DANGER! These primitive canning methods are ONLY of historical Interest
October 30, 2010
By Irvin Kanode
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Do not follow the canning directions in this book from 1920--they are primitive and can lead to death from botulism.
The only safe way to can non-acid vegetables (beans, corn, etc.) and meats is with a pressure cooker.
If you're interested in modern methods for home canning, buy the current edition of what's commonly known as the "Ball Blue Book". The title is: "Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving" and it's available from Amazon.
On the positive side, this book is well formatted for the Kindle and is of historical interest.

This little book is a pleasant contrast for us to learn about food science and food preparation. It was written 91 years ago. The formal language of the author makes it read much as a textbook.
The rationales for keeping foods free from bacteria still apply today. We just have so many other ways to preserve what we grow and eat. She thoroughly explains the various methods of canning, timing of cooking and sterilizing, how and why to sterilize, and how to prepare each type of food for canning.
The term, canning, was more apt in the past, as canning in metal cans was done in homes. Today we think of tins as products for purchase.
The author included how-tos for canning everything from your own home-made head cheese to the hens you slaughtered yourself. It's a great reality check for just how conveniently we can access virtually anything we want to store and eat. Her dry prose aside, reading this could launch you into canning for your own family.

Just what I was looking for. Simple easy to learn and remember instructions. It's not what you know, but what you think you know, that gets you in trouble.

in-depth yet easy to understand. it is nearly a hundred years old, so some terminology is odd, but the principles are the same. info on cold/cellar storage, reference charts, instructions on building a simple solar or indoor dehydrator. also helps you appreciate modern developments like hot running water.

This book was writen in 1920!
Read it for historical value but it would not be safe following any of the recipes.
