The shelves must be strong and have enough height between them to accommodate cans of different sizes. In the absence of special places, the workpieces are stored even under the bed.

Attention! You should not store workpieces in the bathroom, toilet, near batteries and in hard-to-reach niches.

Banks should be checked periodically, once a month. Make sure the lids are not swollen, the marinade is the same transparency, and there is no mold on top. In an apartment, such blanks can be stored for up to 7 months, after which they lose their taste and benefits.

Cooking tips

• cans are washed with baking soda and sterilized by steam, in the oven or microwave;
• the lids must be boiled;
• vegetables are washed and soaked;
• wash the greens thoroughly.

Do not use old screw caps. They can be damaged, resulting in damage to the workpieces.
