Armour Star canned ribs were patented in 1963, and, honestly, that was probably an exciting innovation at the time. The process involved packing the meat with a moisture-deficient sauce and then cooking it in the can, allowing the natural moisture of the meat to create a uniform, thickened sauce. The novelty would have been fun, if nothing else. Even today, you have to admit you'd look twice if you saw canned ribs on a shelf.
The secret to wrapping bread correctly is to store it in an air-tight or vacuum-sealed container, where the bread can keep for up to three months. "You could double wrap the bread if you're going into things like a deep freeze just to provide another layer of protection," says Parisi. "Maybe wrap in parchment then plastic wrap."
The process is simple. After selecting your produce, immediately fill a sink (or suitable container) with fresh water, and allow the fruit and vegetables to soak for several hours.
