Ova-Easy (you can also get from Honeyville) are crystalized in a totally different process, and are better suited for any egg use where you want a fresh egg taste (like scrambled eggs and omelets).

Generally I just twist the top a little and it is fine. That is why it is safe to use inside with something else, but not alone as the main container for food for longer-term storage.

In general, the FD meat will make 10-12 meals if the meal calls for 1 cup of meat.

I'm still looking for sample sizes of the freeze dried meats, but will do the best I can with adding canned products. For your newer recipes, does your book have the amounts needed for each recipe for 10-12 jars?Julienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2150369530381343686.post-3329534119395960202012-08-01T11:29:59.555-07:002012-08-01T11:29:59.555-07:00I am new to your Blog!

OR you can use a vacuum attachment on a Food Saver that is made for jars. If you look at the rest of the posts on the meals in a jar I cover all that you need to know.
