Oven Canning- UNSAFE!
Preserving food by canning in the oven has been a hot topic this summer. It seems everyone is looking for a shortcut to preserve food at home.
Oven canning is NOT a safe shortcut, Barb Fuller, Nutrition and Wellness Specialist and a Master Food Safety Advisor for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, says, “Many individuals have shared they have tried, or have heard about, oven canning. Just because a jar is sealed doesn’t mean the food inside is safe to eat. I’ve had people say to me- ‘I haven’t gotten sick from it.’ I tell them they are probably very lucky! Botulism is a big concern.”
Very often, a trusted and well-meaning friend or relative has shared information about canning in the oven as a simple way to can food. Others have found information off the internet promoting it as a “quick and easy” method.
Food “processed” in the oven will not necessarily be heated hot enough or long enough to produce a safe product! Oven regulators may not be very accurate and the hot air in the oven may not circulate efficiently enough to heat the food in the jars. In addition, dry heat penetrates jars very slowly. Canning jars are not designed for dry heating either. Who would want to clean up that mess if they exploded?
In addition, think of the wasted resources when finding out your food may not be safe to eat. Fuller adds, “People spend a great deal of money, time, and energy canning food. It is disheartening to tell someone their (improperly) canned food could make someone they love very sick.”
Do not put your families’ health and the quality of your food at risk for the sake of a shortcut- like oven canning. Be sure to only use research-based methods and tested recipes for SAFE home food preservation. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is an excellent source of this information.

The Red Oak Police Department reports the arrest Tuesday of a Red Oak woman for Driving While Suspended. At 11:15pm officers arrested 55-year-old Wilma Maxine Dykes in the 1600 block of Summit Street. Dykes was taken into custody and held on $300 bond.
ST. LOUIS (AP) – Ryan Vogelsong pitched six innings of two-hit ball and ace Madison Bumgarner keyed a seventh-inning rally with his first career pinch hit, helping the San Francisco Giants beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-0 on Tuesday night.
Brandon Crawford doubled leading off the fifth for the Giants’ first hit when left fielder Brandon Moss couldn’t quite hold onto his drive down the line near both walls. He also had a run-scoring groundout in the sixth for the first run.
The Giants have won six of eight and handed the Cardinals, who got a strong bounce-back outing from Lance Lynn, just their 19th home loss compared with 45 wins.

The Atlantic City Council will hold a regularly scheduled session Wednesday at City Hall. The meeting begins at 5:30-p.m., and includes action on a Resolution “Endorsing the use of Regional TAP (Transportation Alternatives Program grant) Funds for the Schildberg Recreation Area Lake #2 Biking Trail.” The resolution states acknowledges the City endorses the trail project, and that with the assistance of the TAP funds, the construction of the multi-use trail will be completed and remain dedicated to public use, and adequately maintained by the City of Atlantic Parks and Recreation Department.
In other business, the Council will hear reports from the Personnel and Finance Committee with regard to their review of options the City can take in finding a replacement for Jamie Arnold, who resigned this month from his position as City Attorney. The committee will also report on changes to the City Council and Mayor’s compensation, noting the Mayor’s salary has not been increased in 18-years, and the Council has not received a raise in 21-years. It’s expected the committee will recommend a Cost Of Living Adjustment (COLA) be made to fairly compensate city leaders for time spent in their respective positions.
And, a Task Force has reviewed the financing, process and details for the proposed use of and/or accessibility improvements for, the second-floor multi-purpose room in the City Hall building, an open house event for which was held August 8th, during AtlanticFest.
