home canned hot dog wieners

[xcaliber69]

Hot diggity damn! You drink Pabst too?! I thought I was the last of the hold-outs!

[817Marvin]

Okay I'm canning some hotdogs right now will let you know how they come out

[2011spaceage]

Canned hot dogs, great idea! Thanks, and I enjoyed your video.

[shakaama]

I was expecting to see you make your own hot dogs ... :(

[hambonedodge34]

I was wondering if hot dogs can be canned, I typed it in the search, and there you were, right on top.

Hot dogs are dirt cheap right now, I wa thinking about getting an electric pressure cooker and 100 packs of hot dogs,

[robbabcock1969]

Hahaha! The PBR in the background is a nice touch! But that does look like a handy way to create shelf stable 'dogs.

[jackeekp]

Have canned hot dogs before, whats ever on sale, I have added hickory smoke to mine, like the little extra flavor, about 1/4 teaspoon per jar

[Lynnc83]

nice

[ardith11]

lol wow I never thought about canning hot dogs.......brilliant ..will try it ty

[snaps81625]

Have you ever tried brats or sausage like hotdogs?? Thanks

[moparmanpete]

IH41 Hows your weines holding up! LOL

I have 3 quarts I canned last weekend, I'm going to wait about 2 more weeks and see how they are. I did mine in chicken broth so we will see what happens. Thank you for testing this out.

Take care and God Bless

Pete

[grizzlee2266]

Ironhead, did you try it at less time and if so what was the time and pressure, how long before you tried them, wondering whats the shelf life?

[TheDIYNINJA]

i wonder, can you substitute hot dogs for corned beef in a hash situation? Ill be canning hash today or tomorrow and now this crazy vid has me thinking! If it tasted decent it sure would cut the cost DRAMATICALLY!!!

[mayray15]

Today was our first attempt at pressure cooking and we decided to do 3 jars packed (16) slim hot dogs and 4 jars of Smoked Sausages (8). We figured we couldn't go wrong with already cooked items for our first attempt. The Smoked Sausages are fantastic. We haven't tried the hot dogs yet but all in due time.

[TNGun]

Dude, love the videos, I had to do the canned hotdogs like you did, but I used polish sausage

[Meldagon1]

Hey Iron Head. Maybe you can explain something to me. I know every blue book, or canning book says you have to cook meat for 90 minutes. But hot dogs are already cooked. Do you think cooking them for an hour and a half is a little redundant? . I know we are going to get the chatter from the Ball Blue Book bible worshipers but, do we really have to cook the ever loving shit out of our meat? do you think we can cook them for less time? and still be safe?

[ironhead41]

@Meldagon1 maybe...i dont know......i just came up with the idea and tried it for the first time.....would be cool if it could be shorter canning time......i might next time try half(45 minutes) and see what happens....great question

[wildcrafts]

@ironhead41 the 90 minutes isn't about cooking the meat.  it's about making sure there is adequate time for the center of the meat in the jar to reach a high enough temperature to kill the botulism spores. the whole point of pressure canning is to kill anything in the jar that might cause spoilage. :-)

[chivone21]

@Meldagon1 Well, in theory, yes. In reality...know how many pathegens float around, touch the hot dog, coming out of the wrapper, into the "sterilized jar" millions! And you don't even know it, or me. So, with that said, if the whole package (jar, contents, lid) are not sterelized for enough time, all it takes is for a couple of microbes to start breeding, and BANG. I'd pressure can it for whatever it says to do meat at, in pints, or in quarts, to be safe.  I don't want to hurt anyone, or me

[neffk]

You heat it to the point where the heat transfers to the center of the bits of food. Cooking w/o water seems like a bad idea because heat conduction is a lot slower when there's no water to circulate the heat.

Canning something and claiming success because the result tastes OK & the lids sealed is silly. The issue is bacterial, which may not always grow enough to be a problem happen depending on how warm it is where you store your jars, and how long it incubates, etc.

[Meldagon1]

ok I canned Jordon all beef natural casing Red hot dogs. And they swelled up just like on your video, the casing all split but that’s happens when you boil them. But when I opened them they had shrunk down to the point they were all 1 hot dog. And tasted like I boiled them for 1 ½ hours. The taste was less then what I expected. So I say it was a fail. Canning dogs may not be for all brands of wieners.

[ironhead41]

@Meldagon1 mine also shrunk to normal size but tasted like they were grilled.........we eat them right out of the jar, no reheating.......sorry yours didnt didnt work out the way you wanted.......i applaud you for trying

[mrsmagandelatour]

I have some brats I'm trying that thanks.

[mahuiki]

I think maybe if you slit the skin of the hotdogs, they will not swell up, as the meat will have room to breath in the casing, love the video and the bacon idea is a excellent one. Thanks, will definately have to try that.

[oldtimeway1]

What do you think the little canned vienna sausages are you buy in the store?

[mountainprepper]

I'd throw some sour kraut in with them bad boys!

[mountainprepper]

Hot dogs! COOL. GREAT IDEA! What abot sausage links? I haven't seen anybody do that one yet

[oldtimeway1]

@mountainprepper

You can can wieners, ring bologna, sausage patties or sausage links. Even hamburgers. We've canned them all, just make sure you brown the sausage patties, links, or hamburgers before putting in jars. Add 3 T of grease from the frying to each quart jar and process 90 min at ten pounds. Ring bologna can be cold packed with a little water in ea. qt.. You brown loose hamburger and pack loosely in quart jar. Works great if you need some burger for a hot dish or sloppy joes

[mountainprepper]

@oldtimeway1 Cool, I am getting started on canning myself. I'll keep all that in mind. Thanks

[mountainprepper]

Hot dogs! COOL. GREAT IDEA! What abot sausage links? I haven't seen anybody do that one yet.

[nwrepka]

Hmmm, may have to put some of those together, they look fantastic.

[TheVittleVlog]

Heck of an idea!!

[Sheila6325]

I sure hope your going to tell us how the ones with water in them, and the ones in the parchment paper turned out too. Great Video!

[MrBuckwilliam]

how long do you think them weenies will be good with this method? a few months, a year?

[ceadeses]

If you stop wiggling them wieners around you wouldn't have to worry about them swellin up!!!! Don't you remember how sex was invented . A cave man got some mud on his johnson a proceeded to rub it off ,,,,,,, well the rest is history!!!

[ironhead41]

@ceadeses lol....funny

[MrsNewAmericaNow]

what about canned sausages or the mini sausages? we were just talking about that....

[TheUrbanOutdoors]

I'm convinced that you are some sort of mad scientist....hahahaa

[melsjr]

Shure give it to the kids befor you try!xD

[greggandshandy]

My kids eat a lot of the vienna sausages, and it looks like the same process. Thanks. Try some more stuff....lets see what could you can next...ummm...cheesecake?

[outofworkbum]

all the preservative in hotdogs, I'd a thought they'd preserve themselves without the jar..haha

[RocketCityGardener]

Always better to test it on friends and children first :)

Did you look up the time somewhere or just use time for meat?

[GoatHollow]

Only you would think of canning lips & Butt holes LOL

[jasonmushersee]

Great idea! I'm doing this next time i get a day off!

[1978graham]

add a couple strips of that bacon before you can them. i bet that would be good

[lespaul13]

Haha!!! I figured you'd atleast try to keep your weiners from touching. How long you reckon these'd keep ironhead?

[genegarris]

Hotdogs make great emergency food/pacifiers when you are prepping for a family. Thanks so much for this video.

[chaseme81871]

had a friend give me a brand new pressure cooker , i forgot and left it on my back door steps that evening, and some a-hole stole the damn thing.

[pinetar100]

cool..

[jimbogu3]

Brother, that was an awesome idea. You rock!!!

[cisjohn2616]

Should have tried some in barbeque sauce !

[ironhead41]

@cisjohn2616 thats a great idea

[michiganmadmax]

Wow--you'll try just about anything....do you take request? My husband remembers bacon and eggs in a can from service--any chance you might try to do something with eggs? I also love the idea for the pickled bologna.

Keep at it , you have us all hooked on your canning with Ironhead videos!

[cdltpx]

I wonder if you browned ground meat turkey(GMT) if you could can it after is was cooked so you could take a can of tmater sauce dump a jar of gravel (precooked GMT) That GMT is innexpensive light on the bad stuff and very tasty.

[skblodgett]

How long did you pressure cook the hot dogs?

[ironhead41]

@skblodgett 90 minutes

[skblodgett]

How long did you can them in the pressure cooker?

[squidskunk]

they blow up like marshmallows under the vacuum...

[TheHossUSMC]

Are those hand grown wieners?

[notyranny1]

Interesting, one hell of a lot cheaper than commercial canned meat. A definite option for those that don't usually eat pork/pork products.

[rogerlee337]

you sound like your from the south do you guys rock slawdogs where you live? if not you should try it. i think you might enjoy!

[Downtoearth316]

I had to subscribe man! Your videos and your personality are what I am use to here in the south.

[GospelTruth777]

How long could they keep like that?

[ironhead41]

@GospelTruth777 i dont know...my first time experimentin on this

[DirkChesterfieldEsq]

Looks like homemade Vienna Sausages. All you need is some crackers.

[basketoflavender]

 I wonder if I could pickle them like pickled bologna? ..with a bay leaf and a hot pepper, mmmm......Thanks for the video!

[MadBadVoodo]

★★★★★

[FatGuyWithAKatana]

i liked grilled but i don't like burnt.

[americangamefowl]

Next time you make saerkraut mix hot dogs in it. That would be tasty.

[katzcradul]

That's awesome! Next time hot dogs go on sale, I'm buying a bunch and canning 'em! Great idea...glad you thought of it. Those empty jars in your canner, you could have canned three jars of sterile saline...great for cleaning wounds, flushing debris out of your eye, etc.

(I know. You'll want me to do a video of it. lol)

[astrialkil]

@katzcradul Make that video!...Please!

[scrm1]

@ironhead41 How about canning them together WITH the sauce/chili?

[mail2smitty]

Thanks ironhead41, another good vid! Wonder if beanie weenies would can OK, or if its perhaps better to just can the two separate...

[stealinator]

finally gonna try cannin first time. Remember from couple you your first vids most. But do you screw lids/bands down tight or put them down just snug and tighten down after take out and cool or just tightne them all the way down before you can?

[tom2579]

Oh man I'm loving these videos Professor Ironhead41

[preparedchipmunk]

I like the pooches checking out the wieners, how many dogs do you have?

[ammohead73]

First time I ever seen canned hotdogs lol nice!

[babaloo42]

Thanks for the experiment. Someone had to do it, good job.

[MSGDREWRY]

Gwatney is pretty good - I have to eat them since Jesse Jones got so expensive.

[msdodgeomni]

Hi. I can hot peppers w/ hot dogs,peperonni and polish kolb. always seals and very good keep for 1+yr.

[YouSayYouWantA]

New way to try my dogs.. lovin it!

[chop98]

Now ya have to wonder how many years this will keep? :)

[doomcannon445]

I've seen german import wieners in the jar. There usually in brine up to the top. Can't say I've been brave enough to buy them and try em out.
