sauerkrautsaulFucking seriously ruining the general web in terms of looking up information.
In the age of SEO and AI slop, may your niche hobby or interest never become trendy.
RebekahWSDUnfortunately canning and recipes in general are now concerning and I have to worry about food safety so much more!
Can’t speak for canning, but for the recipes in particular, I was really shocked at the state of things the first time I looked at a recipe on an English website (not my first language).
I only look at recipes in my native language, partly because of the fact that this bullshit is not yet generalised and a fair few website have them still in a good format.
If that’s not the case for you, maybe translating a foreign recipe would help? Don’t know how long for though…
Canning now boils down to for me, “only use the sites you know are safe” and it’s annoying.
Maybe it’s just back to physical cookbooks again!

Here, knock yourself out.
The problem with old old recipes is they haven’t been tested probably uh, ever. Ball/Kerr has a good website with tested recipes, as does the National Center for Home Food Preservation, which are the two sites I know are considered safe (well I consider safe??).
That book is very very cool in the “Damn I love old books” way though!
