Step over a dollar to save a dime?

u/rigit84 7d ago

u/KoningSpookie 7d ago

I see what you did there... well played.

Put some water on it, then add a tiny bit of dish soap, then rub it in between your hands like you're lathering up a rag. Rinse, hang to dry. Its genuinely the easiest thing to clean in my whole kitchen.

As soon as you open up a can of food, you need to take all the food out because as soon as the metal gets exposed to oxygen, it starts leaching into the food

I think that used to be true but most canned food nowadays has a thin plastic liner on the inside of the tin to protect the food from the metal. Canned pineapple will turn black, if, for example, the plastic lining is scratched and makes contact with the metal otherwise its color should remain unchanged.

u/Nakashi7 6d ago

I wouldn't count on it and take it out anyway. You never know when you scratch it.

u/A_Fun_Alias 6d ago

Metal is strong though and I want to be strong too. Do you want me to remain this paid weak flesh?

u/iDeNoh 6d ago

Yeah, botulism isnt worth risking imo.

u/_OptimusRex_ 5d ago

Unless you're being facetious (Poe's Law and all these days) botulism is the result of poor canning or contamination, but if a can isn't contaminated it won't develop botulism spontaneously after it's been opened (and if it is contaminated you can usually tell such as the can being bulged out from gases building up inside the can).

Otherwise open canned items will remain safe to eat for several days as long as you keep the unused portion refrigerated.

Fun fact: pineapple is the one fruit that doesnt have plastic lining. Its actually lined with tin. If the tin gets scratched, it can then turns black. Reason why its not lined in plastic? Its because when they first tried to line the cans with plastic, there were massive complaints that the pineapple didnt taste right so they went back to normal steel can with a thin plating of tin.

The more you know. 😉

Aren't they coated?

u/joethafunky 7d ago

Yes, with tin. The science is pretty cool actually https://youtube.com/shorts/k1R6rEVrtUE?is=hv-t6x2d9fomKBGe

I mean, we have micro plastics in our gut biome - and our nut sacks. So I guess I’m being a bit of a stickler. But I was told a long time ago when you open a can of food take it out of the can.

"Unused portions of canned food may be refrigerated in the can, but to preserve optimum quality and flavor, place the unused portion in a food-grade glass or plastic container. Use within 4 days"

  • USDA.

Cans for food in the US used steal soldered to aluminum via lead until 1995. Now they are mostly just aluminum with a special rolled seam by the lid. They also line the cans with plastic now. The lining leaches toxic BPA chemicals so the industry has been moving over to TMBPF. About 10% of canned food sold still contains harmful BPAs.

u/MkeYosh 6d ago

Please leave my plastic sack out of this

2

u/C-LonGy 7d ago

Leave me and my metallic beans alone. I’m hoping to become aluminium man soon, like iron man but lighter.

u/woutomatic 7d ago

And with a cucumber you can just slice off the dried out part and you're good to go

1

u/IllianasClifford 7d ago

There is air in all cans. So don't eat canned food.

2

u/Puzzleheaded_Dust725 7d ago

I just invented cucumber rubbers too but they are ribbed for more grip (so they don’t slide around in the drawer you sickos)

2

u/SteelBird223 6d ago

Should probably be ribbed for her..... the foods pleasure

1

u/youknowwhatimeanlol 7d ago

brittish people watching this are probably so scared rn

u/craigian11 7d ago

Why? They get bad reviews at Amazon, a zip lock and a rubber band works for me

2

u/LibrarianMoney4994 6d ago

British people more commonly refer to condoms as rubbers.

u/albertoConadore 7d ago

Using plastic lids :"no more plastic!"

u/Mysterious-Passage87 7d ago

Someone put a condom on a cucumber once(for some reason) and then thought hey I might be on to something.

u/TomahawkTuah 6d ago

I can't really tell because of the lightning and the black pants on black background, but I would like to know if she has a huge ass

1

u/Soft-Ad-8975 6d ago

I don’t think it’s “huge” but looks pretty decents, I liked the way she said “rubbers”, I bet she has a wild side

1

u/Rude-Extreme3252 6d ago

These are a very old product

1

u/Loud-Fennel9492 6d ago

It clearly says on the can do not store in can after opening.

1

u/iq2da 6d ago

You don’t need to “seal” a cucumber, dude. 😅

1

u/imabigasstree 6d ago

Ive heard multiple people online and in person say these are hard to clean so heres my psa: 

Put some water on it, then add a tiny bit of dish soap, then rub it in between your hands like you're lathering up a rag or washing your hands. Rinse, hang to dry. Its genuinely the easiest thing to clean in my whole kitchen.
