thanks all... as nursemike commented, I've got way too much time on my hands...I will try canning some hot dogs though...
You ever see hot dogs that have been boiled on the stove too long? They absorb water and swell 2-3 times their size and are not all too edible...depending on how hungry you are.
Now think what would happen if you can those hot dogs at 10 lbs pressure for 90 minutes...the end result will not be a pretty picture.
There are a lot of foods that should not ever be canned and I recommend that people who get into home canning really do their research as your life can literally depend on the outcome of the final product.
The
Naional Center for Home Canning is the best starting point for home canning procedures and safety.
