I am wanting to store homemade tollhouse cookies, I don't want to freeze them, I just want to storage leftovers for eating later. In the past, I have always used storage bags but have read that the best way to store cookies is in a tin. Does anyone know if it really makes a difference or not?
I like a little more air flow around those than a bag offers. A tin is good, but I prefer a good old fashioned cookie jar. That's what they were made for. The style of jar is up to you, I prefer Snoopy! LOL.
Six-week-old German Shepherd puppies demonstrate their solid temperaments by having being unconcerned by rolling, noisy dog food storage tins ...
Interested to know when best, as I have baked four. Also, are they best stored in fresh greaseproof and foil, or greaseproof and clingfilm until I marzipan them? Have only two storage tins. (Not bad planning - family not brought their tins, tut, tut.)
My mom used to remove it when it had cooled I think, I always remember the gorgeous smell of baking at christmas time, part of the joy of that time of year. Oooh the mere thought of it has brought such wonderful memories of the pre-christmas festivities -yes!
Are smaller, tinned cigars (say ~4x32) typically stored in humidors? And in or outside of the tins? What if they're dry-cured ones like Panter?? Thanks!
Go with the humidor. :)
No, but you can purchase a holder that will block them:

Many industrial gases are flammable (acetylene, hydrogen, propane, etc.), so if the tank breaks you not only get a pressure explosion but possibly a chemical explosion as well, so leakage and breakage protection are important. Consider a typical shoulder-height tank of oxygen. It is pressurized to 1600-2200 psi. So you have the following problems:
Wood is porous, gas would leak right out.
Glass is fragile; dropping a glass pressurized-gas tank would produce an explosion of glass shrapnel.
Plastic might do but doesn't have the strength of steel.
Tin cans are too thin.
What's left is thick steel for all the non-liquefiable gases and thinner steel for propane, freon and such.
Even with the best materials, pressure tanks have a weak spot, the valve. Serious injury can occur when a tank tips over and breaks off the valve, which turns the tank into a (cold-gas) rocket.
JGsales, ammunitiontogo, and a few others where I normally go to for these has dropped them from there site. I know once JGsales drops something from there site it almost never comes back and ammuntiontogo usually gets stuff back in stock but I don't know with a higher price tag and it does take them awhile.
What other sites still have it in stock? I mean I they all still have the hotshot but I have never tried that and this kinda is scaring me off: http://www.surplusrifleforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=53527&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
I mean I know it was imported by century... I wan't the stuff sealed so I don't touch it unless I have too...
But I'd like them sealed in tins for long term storage. I do my best to store this stuff when not sealed like this (ammo cans, dessicants, inside in a closet away from an exterior wall, I never touch them unless using them same day, etc..)
Cheaperthandirt don't have it.
Well sportsman's guide and classic arms have some 7.62x39 in spam cans.. but it isn't brown bear. Ammo connection has 7.62 in .50 cal ammo cans.
