Chili in a crock pot can remain hot for about 1 to 2 hours after being turned off, depending on the ambient temperature and the specific model of the crock pot. The insulated design helps retain heat, but it's best to serve or refrigerate leftovers within this timeframe to ensure food safety. For longer retention of heat, consider keeping the lid on and using a towel or blanket to insulate the pot further.
* Cooked chili should not be unrefrigerated for any more than 2 hours. Less time is better. After that time frame, the chili should either be reheated or packaged and placed in the refrigerator or freezer. Reheat leftovers to 165°F before consuming. * In a service setting, chili is best done in a crock pot and the hostess can leave it on a low heat (at least 140°F) while guests are there and you will not have to put it into the refrigerator. Once everyone has had enough then, let the chili cool and refrigerate or put into packets and freeze for further use. Cool the chili quickly by using an ice bath or by separating into smaller containers.
Canned homemade chili can last for 1 to 2 years when stored properly in a cool, dark place. However, for the best quality and flavor, it's recommended to consume it within a year.

Once thawed, roasted green chili can last in the refrigerator for about 3 to 5 days if stored in an airtight container. If you notice any off smells, discoloration, or mold, it's best to discard them. For longer storage, consider freezing them again, although this may affect their texture. Always ensure they are cooled properly before refreezing.
Once opened, chili in a tin can typically lasts about 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator when stored in an airtight container. If left in the can, it's best to consume it within the same timeframe to prevent any potential metal leaching. Always check for signs of spoilage before eating.

To make chili oil from chili powder, start by heating a neutral oil, such as vegetable or canola oil, in a saucepan over low heat. Once the oil is warm, add the chili powder and any desired spices (like garlic or onion powder) and simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Afterward, remove the mixture from heat and let it cool before straining it through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to separate the solids. Store the chili oil in a clean, airtight container for use in various dishes.
One effective way to cool a 25-gallon batch of chili is to divide it into smaller portions, transferring the chili into shallow containers or using ice baths. This increases the surface area and allows the chili to cool more quickly and evenly. Additionally, stirring the chili occasionally while it cools can further help reduce the temperature. Once cooled to 70°F within two hours, refrigerate it promptly to ensure food safety.
To effectively use a water seal fermentation crock for fermenting foods, follow these steps: Prepare your ingredients and place them in the crock. Add a brine solution or other fermenting liquid to cover the ingredients. Place the weights on top to keep the ingredients submerged. Fill the moat around the lid with water to create a seal. Allow the crock to ferment at room temperature for the recommended time. Check the water seal periodically to ensure it remains intact. Once fermentation is complete, remove the weights and transfer the fermented food to storage containers.
Canned foods may take on funny flavors, and lose vitamins over extended periods of time, but there does not seem to be a time limit on the food being safe to eat, so long as the can is intact and is not bulging.
