What are the common tools and utensils needed in food preservation?

Answer 1

You will need a variety of tools and equipment when you preserve food. Some of these items include canning supplies, a pressure cooker, and tongs. You can also use a large pan for the water bath. A freezer is also something you would use in food preservation. A food dehydrator is used for drying foods.

Answer 2

The tools used in food preservation are much the same as the tools used in a standard kitchen (while preparing meals). For example, spoons, knives, and forks may be used in the food preservation process, and these tools (equipment) would be classified under the category, utensils.

Categories Of Food Preservation Tools & Equipment

• Utensils - Knives, forks, spoons, ladles, spatulas, whisks, and hand graters (small, one-sided graters) will all be placed under this category. There may be many more, less commonly used utensils in this classification, including wooden mallets for meat tenderizing, etc.

• Containers - Before food is frozen or otherwise preserved, it must be stored in containers. Typical containers may be Tupperware-style plastic bins with airtight lids, ceramic dishes with plastic lids (such as Corningware, or a similar brand) and foil containers.

• Bags - Food may be stored in heavy plastic bags designed for freezer use - these may be Ziploc brand, or another brand. Bags may be designed to fit the contours of meat or other food that is to be preserved; some bags have a special "shrink-wrap" effect that seals out unwanted air.

• Jars - Technically speaking, jars are containers; however, special preserve jars may be classified differently, as they are often used only to preserve jams, jellies, fruit compotes, beets (or other vegetables, such as pickles) and chutneys. These jars will be glass, with metal lids - they may be sealed with paraffin wax before being stored away.

Finding the right tools for preserving foods will be simple when the different classifications are understood. Often, collecting all the tools and equipment needed for food preservation will take some time. Typically, the supplies needed may be found in grocery stores, department stores, and restaurant supply stores (althoughrestaurant supply stores may require a wholesale order). In some cases, larger appliances, such as deep freezers, may also be considered food preservation devices.
