Description

Book Synopsis: Long before we started using glass jars, people have been trying to save their food from spoiling. Our past efforts have included drying our food out, burying it in salt, and fermenting it. All of these worked to some degree, but it wasn’t until 1795 when the French first introduced the world to jarring, or at least a primitive form of it.Needing food that could last months at sea with less effort, it was Napoleon Bonaparte who sent out a call to the rest of his country, looking for anyone who could devise a way to help him preserve food while being away for that long. He offered a reward to anyone who could invent a useful and practical way to do it, and a man by the name of Nicholas Appert did it. The version that he first introduced was a crude, but effective, version of what we have today. He made glass jars that were wrapped in wire to add sturdiness, and then he heated them and sealed the contents inside with paraffin wax. Granted, there were things he didn’t yet understand about it. For one, using wax was dangerous due to the toxins. And second, he didn’t quite know why the food was being preserved, just that it was. We wouldn’t find out until much later that microbial bacteria are responsible for the breakdown of our foods. The final, modern version of what we have today was added by Alexander Kerr. He invented the modern jar that is much easier to fill than the old version due to the size of its mouth, and he gave us that quintessential lid with its removable seal-cap.
