Cold pack canning

[edit]
1919 illustration showing cold pack canning on the gas laundry stove (Laundry stoves also lack an article, but seem less significant).

There is apparently a technique called "cold pack canning". Right now it isn't mentioned anywhere in the article, nor elsewhere in Wikipedia. Probably should be here, based on a large number of Google hits. - Jmabel | Talk 02:19, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to involve putting cold food in and doing the cooking in the can (during the sterilization step). The USDA has a comparison page: https://www.nal.usda.gov/exhibits/ipd/canning/exhibits/show/techniques/cold-raw Artoria2e5 🌉 05:35, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]


Any reason for not using the 1772 date for the first cans, which is used in the can opener article referencing https://books.google.com/books?id=NFRR6GayR74C&pg=PA122 Gordon L. Robertson (2006). Food packaging. CRC Press. pp. 122–123. ISBN 0-8493-3775-5. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ~2026-91229-2 (talk) 10:01, 10 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
