In the column on why green olives came in glass jars and black olives came in cans, you said that glass wouldn’t stand the heat of processing. I don’t think that is true as my parents used glass jars to can everything that they canned and they proccessed in both a hot water bath and a pressure cooker.
Thanks for visiting us here at the Straight Dope, wyfarm.
It’s always nice to reference the column you are commenting on, in this case here:
And since it’s a Staff Report rather than a column I have moved it to the proper forum area.
I rather think that the report is in need of a little updating. It seems to create rather more confusion than most, and as it stands is clearly incomplete.
Two previous threads have already done the subject to death.
