Canning Your Own Food With Tin Plated Steel Cans

Tin cans are a precious and versatile product. They are available in hundreds of shapes, colors and sizes and can even be customized. While they are not as tough as steel, they are stronger than aluminum, have better corrosion resistance, and are far less likely to break or chip.

To customize a tin can, you can cut out special holes to attach various accessories such as letter stickers, labels, writing implements, and scissors. Some tin cans have a rim that fits over the entire tin can. You can then paint the tin cans with a colored finish to coordinate with your other decorations. If your car has a hole, you can paint a stencil design into the hole or you can purchase stencils from a hardware store. The holes for printing the labels can also be drilled or carved.

To make a decorative lid for your tin cans, you can paint the exterior of the cans using a primer and then fill the cans with paint and roll the edges of the can up to make a smooth lid. The same method can be used to paint the interior of the cans including the rim. Aluminum foil can be used to create a decorative rim for tin cans. Paint the foil by applying a base coat and then filling it with paint. Make sure you use a smooth non-stick paint and smooth edges to prevent your new metal pan's edges from becoming blunt.

You can make decorative caps for aluminum cans that can add color and character to your cans. You can find these caps at craft stores or order them online. The caps can be made from metal scraps and you can imprint any shape or pattern on the caps. This is a great way to personalize the look of your cans and makes a nice present for friends and family members.

Some people prefer to make their own gift tin cans and may want to learn more about canning their own food. It is not difficult to learn the basics of canning and it is not at all difficult to get your own canning kit. There are also some great books available to help teach the basics of canning and this would be a great book to start off with if you are interested in canning your own food.
