The editorial staff of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" offers an overview of high-quality canned food with excellent taste for 2020.

History of creation and modern production

Contemporaries owe the appearance of canned food to the French chef François Apper. In 1804, he presented to the Directory the method of special cooking, thanks to which the food is stored for several years and does not deteriorate. The chef used the sterilization method by sealing the supplies in glass jars, which were sterilized for about four hours. For his invention, Upper received a good prize and opened a cannery.

In 1810, the Englishman Peter Durend came up with a way to store food in cans. Ten years later, canneries opened in the United States. American manufacturers were the first to start producing canned fish. In Russia, such enterprises appeared in the 70s of the nineteenth century.

A modern manufacturer uses advanced technologies, but the main principle remains unchanged - it still uses the preservation method, the only one possible for preserving products for a long time.

How fish can be preserved

1. Raw materials, frozen or in barrels of water, are brought to the cannery.
2. Frozen - defrost, without freezing - wash.
3. With the help of special technologies, scales, fins, head, giblets are removed.
4. Divide in portions, put in a container.
5. Soaked in salted brine.
6. Dry.
7. Cool in ventilated chambers to remove excess water.
8. For snacks, canned food is breaded in flour and fried, then poured with butter or sauce.
9. For natural canned food, portions are boiled in their own juice, oil and spices are added to the fish cans.
10. For canned fish and vegetable food, both portions and minced meat are used, vegetables, cereals, beans, marinade, broth, and tomato sauce are added.
11. The container is sealed and sterilized in an autoclave. Heat treatment is carried out at a temperature of 120 degrees.

For the preparation of canned food - depending on the varieties and types of fish - blanching, drying in a dryer, and smoke smoking are also used.

How to choose and store canned food correctly

There are many unscrupulous sellers on the market, therefore, when making purchases, you need to be vigilant.

What to look for when choosing a product in a supermarket and in an online store, so as not to make mistakes:

• For the expiration date. As a rule, it is indicated on the covers.
• The appearance of the can. A crumpled, "battered" container with a swollen lid immediately raises doubts about the quality of the contents.
• To the trade mark. The product of a well-known brand with a characteristic color scheme is hardly falsified. If all the necessary markings are observed, you can safely pay the check.
• Design. Of course, the main thing is not the packaging, but its contents, but a jar with a key to open the lid is much more convenient.
• For the month of release. The best ones are made from fresh raw materials. The catch season is of great importance for the taste of the fish.

The most delicious canned sprat is caught in May-September, the best mackerel is summer, herring is the winter catch, gobies do not lose their taste at any time of the year.

• On the composition. The ideal choice is a GOST product with a minimum amount of ingredients. Fills - no more than 30 percent.
• When buying on the Internet, you need to choose reputable trading platforms in order to order goods online and not be afraid that they will send a "pig in a poke". On the page of the lot, as a rule, a description of the product, characteristics, indicating what form of release, type, nutritional and energy value, photo, price are given. Links are often provided where you can buy the same product at a reduced price.
• The smell, color. In the store, no one will allow you to open the lid, so it remains to be content with the information on the package and its appearance. At home, having opened the can, you need to look at the contents. In good canned food, portions of the same size, pouring without turbidity and darkening, pleasant aroma.

These tips will help you make the right choice.

Storage advice

Closed cans are stored in a refrigerator or other cool and moderately dry room: according to safety requirements, the temperature regime should be 3-8 degrees Celsius, humidity - a maximum of 75 percent. For products in transparent glass jars, a dark place is required; in a tin shell, they are not afraid of light.

From open, it is recommended to put the product in glass, ceramic, porcelain containers and store for no more than two days.

How to make canned fish at home

You can make a fish appetizer yourself, especially since they do not require complex ingredients, and they are much cheaper than purchased ones at a cost. To pamper your family with a treat, you need to set aside up to three hours for kitchen work and buy quality fish.

Raw material selection criteria:

• The best option is a fresh catch.
• If you buy frozen, you should pay attention to the integrity of the skin and scales, the purity of the gills.
• You cannot buy fish with cloudy eyes, this is a low-quality product, most likely, which has survived more than one freezing and defrosting.
