Best Way To Store Pasta LONG TERM ( Egg Noodles, Elbo, and Dumpling)

[Pirtykitty]

I have about 10 pkgs of assorted noodles I'd like to put away for storage.. Would putting them in maylar bags with oxyegen absorbers be okay. say each 12 oz package in its own maylar bag ???? and then put in bucket.. Thank you

While most of my long term storage is in the form of soft and hard wheat, I do have some pasta stored in mylar bags with O2 absorbers and buckets. We recently opened some that had been stored for six years and it was fine. It will probably store many more years just fine.

Thank you. Knoxx... I have the ones I picked up Friday in the freezer for a few days. then the others I took out Wensday from being in freezer.. I'll probably take them out tonight and fix them all up Monday.. I have 4 super pails each of hard red and white wheat.. also two super pails of soft white.. I proably need to find some one with the Durahm wheat too... I'd like to make my own pasta sometime too... I have about 5 lb's of spahetti stored in about 12 oz pkg each in maylar bags too..

It sounds like you have a great plan. Pasta takes more room to store, than the basic ingredients do, but it is a nice convenience to be able to just take a pack out and prepare it. As I mentioned in the earlier post, the vast majority of my storage is in the basic ingredients, wheat, corn, rice, salt, dehydrated vegetables and spices, etc., but I have added some prepared foods such as freeze dried dinner items also. There are occasions where time or other conditions make cooking from scratch not impossible.

I am not sure if the LDS cannery sells it but if they do it will be cheaper than most if not all other sources.

This is the cheapest source I have found, wonder where KOxxx buys his?

We won't place an order until about March with Walton Feed. We don't have a provident living specialist right now.. But there is a lady who works with walton for bulk orders where all of us in relief society go in together and place an order and have it all shipped to one pick up point..
we get cheaper shipping also than if I order it from their site ... plus reduced prices on items..

I'd like to order some now though LOL but don't want to pay an arm and a leg for it..
maybe knoxx will come in and tell where he gets his..

LDS Canner only has hard red and white wheat... thats the one in Round Rock Texas.. Not sure what the one in Carrlton Texas has.. Both a quite a drive from Waco.. At church tomorrow I'll have to ask if anyone is going anytime soon and maybe I could ride with them and share gas... I'd also love to get some of the potato pearls. Ladies at church tell me they are really good...

Some canneries will loan out the equipment to can the number 10 cans at home, selling you the cans, oxygen absorbers, etc maybe your group of ladies could make a trip down there and get supplies and have a huge canning party at your ward. It would be worth your time and the drive if you did it in bulk rather than having to drive that far for everyone.

I think they already have a canner there at the Ward... I'll have to ask again and see.. it'd be great to be able to get the grain in 25 lb bags.. and then just get the cans and seal up.. I might be wrong to about the canner they may of just borrowed the one at the store house too.. It's been two years ago since some one said anything about getting together to can... Gotta do some checking.
