There are two ways to can food. One is to use a boiling water bath canner, and the other is to can the food in a pressure canner. Water bath canning is when you process jars of high acid foods in a pot of boiling water for a recommended amount of time. There are some specific qualities that you may want to keep in mind and we certainly used these while we narrowed down the lists. Keep in mind, just because a product comes highly recommended and works well for many pantry preppers, it may still not be the right fit for your unique situation. Of course, the freezer is also an excellent option for cheese storage. Freeze cream cheese easily, as well as most other cheeses. Store and keep feta cheese fresh in the fridge or freezer. However, it’s always good to explore different storage methods to decide what works best for you. How to Can Cheese in a Pressure Canner Easy Cheese contains milk, water, whey protein concentrate, canola oil, milk protein concentrate, sodium citrate, sodium phosphate, calcium phosphate, lactic acid, sorbic acid, sodium alginate, apocarotenal, annatto, cheese culture, and enzymes.

Reason being is the potential for contamination is increased when using these other types of instruments. Use the plastic knife like tool that comes with the ball canning kit. That ensures the likelihood of contamination to be as low as possible during the process. Step 8. Put Jars in Oven The key role of emulsifying agents in Easy Cheese is to create a uniform cheese spread by altering the structure of casein micelles in the cheese. Casein micelles have a diameter ranging from 15 to 20 nanometers and are composed of flexible aggregates alpha-, beta-, and kappa-casein. The alpha- and beta-casein are kept in place by “colloidal calcium phosphate-mediated cross links” covered with a kappa-casein outer layer. [4] The outer layer on the casein's surface has glycosylated hydrophilic tails that are negatively charged and is stable in solution due to Van der Waals interactions. All of the negative charges causes the casein micelles to initially repel each other and provides stability to the matrix by protecting the alpha- and beta-caseins. [9]
