Hi,
Thanks for the very informative site its truly great. I’m just wondering if you can tell me where to buy materials like bottles jars, lids & caps, cooking equipment like pressure cookers if I want to make batches that I will experiment to sell.
I’m really interested to start my home business in bottling bangus and other fish like galungong… Please reply. Thanks in advance.
@rey, the best and cheapest source of materials is in divisoria. you can buy pressure cooker from big appliance stores.
hello!
You have a very interesting, informative, and very helpful site not only for young, budding entrepreneurs, but for mothers like me who are pinching the peso and finding ways of giving the family a very good dish straight from the kitchen. I would just like to ask the procedure where you put and line the bottles with everything already on it inside the pressure cooker. Should there be water in the pressure cooker before i put the bottles? Thanks you so much and i’m raring to start making a few spanish sardines/bottled bangus for the family.
Kindly tell me where to buy the canning jars, lids & caps. And also the water bath canners because I’m also interested in canning jams & sauces. Thank you so much!
Hi, I want to know if I put the bottle at pressure cooker wont it break? How about if I substitute bangus to Tuna, is it ok if I use Tuna instead of bangus
Thanks
Hi.
I like your site. I’d like to know if my bangus will stink if i let it dry under the sun. for what purpose am i drying it under the sun? What substitute for the sun can i use? Also if i put the covered bottles in the pressure cooker, wont it break? Where can i get jars with metal covers? I only have plastic lids…
