The Complete Guide to Preserving Meat, Fish, and Game:
Step-by-Step Instructions to Freezing, Canning, Curing, and Smoking

When working with food, sanitation and safety should always be in the forefront of your mind. The risk of contracting a food-borne illness is always a concern, especially when dealing with any type of meat. Cooking the meat thoroughly and storing it properly becomes a necessary practice.

The process of preserving meat, fish, and game through freezing, canning, curing, and smoking can be a multi-step process — and a process not to be taken lightly. Although preserving your meat certainly has financial benefits and can help reduce food waste, as food preservation can allow you to keep meat for much longer than its natural shelf life, certain precautions must be taken to do so safely.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “The principal risk associated with eating improperly canned foods is botulism, a devastating paralytic illness that follows ingestion of food containing botulinum toxin.” Thankfully, botulism is rare today, with approximately 25 cases reported each year; however, the cases that are reported are almost always associated with home-canning or home-preserving. As you can see, proper technique is necessary. At Atlantic Publishing, we have a book to help you learn everything you need to know to safely get started.

The Complete Guide to Preserving Meat, Fish, and Game will show any potential meat preserver how to handle store meat for long-term use through a variety of methods, while constantly keeping an eye to the possibility of food-borne illness and loss of freshness. Beginning with a series of charts and basic details about different types of meat and fish — including venison, beef, and salmon — you will learn which animal products store best with which methods, which methods must be avoided, and which illnesses are the greatest risk. Learn how smoking works and the timelines for every form of storage — from the moment the animal is butchered to the moment it needs to be preserved. No matter what type of animal you are preserving, this book will provide the details you need to effectively store the meat for later use.

This book is available for review as a hard copy or PDF, excerpting, resale, and per inquiry advertising. High-resolution images are also on hand upon request.
