Description
Pickled, Potted, and Canned: How the Art and Science of Food Preserving Changed the WorldWe may not give much thought to the boxes in our freezers or the cans on our shelves, but behind the story of food preservation is the history of civilization itself. The development of portable, preserved food enabled the great explorers to travel into the unknown and gradually map the planet, facilitated the conquest of new territories, and created routes for the expansion of trade and the exchange of knowledge and culture that opened up our world.
We may not give much thought to the boxes in our freezers or the cans on our shelves, but behind the story of food preservation is the history of civilization itself. The development of portable, preserved food enabled the great explorers to travel into the unknown and gradually map the planet, facilitated the conquest of new territories, and created routes for the expansion of trade and the exchange of knowledge and culture that opened up our world. In Pickled, Potted, and Canned, author Sue Shephard weaves together the stories of the inventors -- and inventions -- in a lively and richly detailed narrative that spans centuries and continents. It is a tale filled with extraordinary characters, old legends, and new revelations: how Attila the Hun and his men "gallop cured" their meat; how cooks became chemists and chemists became cooks and how some even lost their lives, like seventeenth-century statesman and philosopher Francis Bacon, whose death was caused by an experiment with a frozen chicken. From the primitive techniques of drying and salting to the latest methods that have allowed us to feed men in space, Pickled, Potted, and Canned gives us fascinating insights into the histories, cultures, and ingenuity of people inventing new ways to "cheat the seasons."Binding Type: Paperback

Sprayer gets stuck
Color: Black
It’s perfect having the spray bottle in the paper towel holder butttt the sprayer gets stuck already and it’s only been a month so I can’t constantly spray in one motion, sometimes you have to do fix it yourself bc it won’t pop back up on its own

Handy
Color: Black
This is such a neat piece for your kitchen. Of course it is convenient for paper towels but the added feature of having a spray bottle included is very convenient to keep your counters sparkling. I put in the stone polish and sealer. You could put windex for stove and fridge or water cleaner you wish. I highly recommend this and it is very affordable!

Hello Organized Drawer
My husband thought that I was crazy for buying these but I was so tired of the stacked boxes of foil, wrap, parchment paper, Ziplock baggies, etc. getting the drawer stuck and having to reach in a semi-closed drawer and pry the box loose to open the drawer. Now, he wants all the drawers to be as neat and orderly as this one.
While I’m not thrilled about the price point and the finish color (does not match anything I have going on in my kitchen), I do love the product itself. The sliders/cutters are GREAT (12+ uses so far) and don’t leave sharp or jagged edges. The rolls are held in by a panel with small magnets so it’s seamless and easily cleaned/wiped (if needed). I also bought the corresponding Ziplock bag organizers. Another pro of this product: the labels are CLEAR with black font. It sounds like a silly little detail, but it makes a huge difference.
One important note: the 12-in version only holds your traditional foils, clear wrap, and wax paper rolls. Parchment paper WILL NOT fit in the 12-in version. If you want to store parchment paper, you need to buy the longer version bc those rolls are traditionally 14-in in length. Same for non-traditional aluminum foil rolls (like grill size foil).
