    canning has been bastardized by the plastics industry. metals are very easy to recycle/reuse and are better for storing food (no microplastics, doesn't deform/degrade under heat). this plastic crap isnt real canning, you need metal or glass so you cant heat what you're storing to create a vacuum

      Unfortunately they line cans with plastics now so you've still got microplastics. But they are recyclable and you can burn off the (very thin) plastic lining in the process, so it's way better.
