OMG, y'all are really working hard at this....I'm just gonna open those beans, and eat them and take a nap while y'all are fooling with the bejeezies, in that can....or just cook them in the "something you dumped them into"

But on the other hand, ifen y'all want to use that can for heating something else.....throw in the fire and burn it out for later....if the seams don't melt......

Be careful, if you don't get all of the plastic out it can have some nasty side-effects: Guests can not see images in the messages. Please register in the forum.

I have to wonder WHY there is Not a warning on the cans..........?????

**hunter63** · 07-19-2012, 11:51 AM

I guess I not gonna be burning any can in the near furture.......I have to believe that trying to clean them out after, would be hard?

My guess is that it is not the intent of the manufacturer to have their product heated in the can. Of course, in today's litigious world warnings about...
the plastic liner
heating before opening
sharp lids
dropping on your toes
connecting two cans with a string and using as a phone can cause metal poisoning
eating the label
and on, and on

I thought a warning like that on the label would constitute a nanny state interferance in making sure you don't do anything stupid.

Saw a "Choking Hazard' warning on a frisbee....how big is your mouth.

So has anyone tried to burn one out yet?....does the white stuff burn?

Even soda cans have a liner http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/...ent/can-ripper

**Wildthang** · 07-19-2012, 12:49 PM

I would think you could warm them slowly in that kind of can without burning the lining as long as you didn't try to get them too hot! Maybe put the can in a pot of water so it doesn't come in contact with the fire.

It has Nothing to do with BEANS, they were just going to be cans to boil water in. I have found lots of pots, the the can thing'ie is history.

**hunter63** · 07-19-2012, 01:59 PM

Anyone call the can company?

Maybe if more companies are like Eden Foods, we can go back to popping those bean or stew cans in the coals and cooking 'em like the good old days. They switched to a baked on BPA-Free coating years ago. Hopefully with all the spotlights being shined on BPA from various groups, there will be a move back to something like that throughout the industry.

I guess that pretty much answers that question.......
Thanks for posting.

I've burned the coating out of a can, not so much to cook the food in after but for a spot of tea. It can be used for cooking too. I'm not much for cold food on a cold winter day LOL. The 'other' container that the beans are poured into would most likely be a piece of birch bark cupped up or I would eat the first can cold, prepare my can for the next go around LOL.

Note to self, bring canteen w/cup and stove.....all this can stuff isn't as much fun as it used to be.....
On the other hand, haven't seen too many 'bulged cans" in the scratch and dent pile lately.....LOL
