Canning Bulk Foods in #10 Cans



Canning Bulk Foods

How many # 10 Cans will I need?

I have estimated these numbers using the most common bulk weights available.  Very often there will be some left-over after canning.  Take the left-overs home and use or store right away.  Please print out and keep with other food storage papers. NOTE: all products need oxygen absorber packets except for sugar.

 

20 lbs      Rice                                 3 cans

25 lbs      Rice                                 4 cans

25 lbs     Oats                                  9 cans

15 lbs     Dried Apple Slices         15 cans

35 lbs     Dried onions, chopped  14 cans

25 lbs     Sugar                                  4 cans

25 lbs     Flour/pancake mix          5 cans

25 lbs    Wheat                                4 cans

50 lbs   Wheat                                  9 cans

35 lbs    Hash browns                   11 cans

25lbs     Beans, various                 5 cans

10lbs pancake mix                        2.5 cans

 

 

 

These items will fit in 1 can:

10 packets of Knorr Rice Mixes such as Spanish Rice.  Open each packet and pour in can.  1 packet is 1 ¼ C.  Write cooking instructions on lid of can.

2 lbs of Rotini pasta

2 lbs of large sea shell pasta

2 lbs of bow tie pasta

2 lbs of egg noodles

3 1/3 lbs of macaroni

3-4 lbs of spaghetti if broken and carefully placed upright in can.

3 lbs of powdered sugar

5 lbs of salt

 

Bagged potato Pearls      (2 bags will fill a can).  1 Full case is 12 bags.  Weavils can eat thru these bags.  It is recommended to put them in cans and seal or put into a 5 gallon bucket.  Potato Pearls have a shorter shelf-life.  Eat within 2-3 years!
