On the other hand, the internal height is 7 inches and the internal diameter is 6 3/8 inches. If you transfer your oil into plastic container(s) that fit inside the can then also put a Hot Hand in the can, that would cause the can to seal, deplete the oxygen so it can't penetrate the plastic bottles and outside oxygen can't penetrate the metal can. Now this would work with an ordinary metal paint can. Since the oil would never contact the can, the can would no longer need to be food safe.DaremoKamenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08775078298429534700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970975545475697571.post-22247093263725889552019-01-27T08:28:23.682-05:002019-01-27T08:28:23.682-05:00Bought a device that extracts oil from sun flower ...Bought a device that extracts oil from sun flower seeds. Bet I should pull that sucker out, buy a bag of sun flower seeds (50#) and see how that works. Heard a statistic that it takes an acre of sun flowers to supply a family for a year. I assume that means you only use sunflower oil. You burn that material left over.

Never had any go bad and my cardiologist is happy with my choice.<br />(Of course I don't tell him about the home rendered lard I Also store.) We do live 250 miles from city shopping so stocking up is proof against ordinary problems like avalanch blocked roads, earth quakes and plain bad weather here in rural Alaska.Howard Brewihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828388973685184730noreply@blogger.com
