A Guide to Canning, Freezing, Curing & Smoking Meat, Fish & Game

This book is very useful for canning. It also has information on how to prepare meat, slicing different types of meat, and other useful information.

I have a dozen such books for reference material. This one has some reallyu good ideas, techniques and recipes for a very specialized cooking skill and clientele. It's well written and inspirational. This will be a handy book of knowledge, and a culinary skill when the SHTF; at a time when a WORTHY, and Profitable Skill Set could save lives.

nice to have around to go back to if needed

Item as described, on time delivery. Informative

Was just what I was looking for. Simple and easy to read with information on everything that is in the title. It has recipes for just about everything you can think of from mincemeat pie to chicken sausage. It has simple plans for making a smoker. It even shows you how to clean and filet a fish or field dress a deer. It has loads of information regarding the how and why of each process as well as the importance of being clean and safe.

Very helpfull.

The title lists Canning Freezing Curing and Smoking and all of those subjects are covered in detail for each category but what is really inside are recipes of all kinds. We are talking about food afterall. Includes 36 full pages of valuable safety related directions concerning pressure canning. Lists unconsidered questions IE what happens to my frozen venision if I lose power and it thaws. just a great deal of useful no nonsense information concerning the preservation of meat fish and game and then the various methods of cooking for ultimate consumption. A great source for considering the 'other' cuts of meat in a carcass. Tongue organs blood and gelatine from cooking the bones. Well worth the asking price

Preserving meat is not just for homesteaders. Anyone who has suffered a prolonged power failure will tell you that wasted meat is a costly loss. It is also unnecessary. With a little bit of work and effort you can preserve meats without freezing. This book also covers freezing meats properly to reduce "freezer burn" - and more waste. It includes tons of recipes and instructions for preserving different meats and fish, broken by types of meat. I have used this book over and over. I find the section on canning meats to be very useful.

Lots of good ideas

This is a great book - recommend it.

Seems to have a nice general beginner level of information and covers a nice range of meats.

Read and act!

For the most part it’s a good book with good information however, there are USDA revisions made on the recipes and procedures that are either very redundant or actually harmful to your health. If you can look past these “smudges” on somebody else’s fine work then it’s a good book.
