If there was an imminent food shortage, what would you stock up on?

Question by Gilos: If there was an imminent food shortage, what would you stock up on?
Really want a list of suggestions as to what can keep well for 4-6 months frozen or in a cupboard.

Answer by Galah_1
Rice

And this won't help your quest - but I would get me a breeding pair of chickens!

ADD EDIT: If you are worried about a food shortage, you should probably stock up on salt. When processed foods run out - salt will be of a premium rather than a dangerous oversupply like it is now.

Check it for any damages. Really check the rubber seal for cracks and replace if it has any. Hopefully, you can find one that has the instruction manual with it. Follow all the directions carefully.

Does anyone out there own a Cuisinart electric pressure cooker?

Question by Bear: Does anyone out there own a Cuisinart electric pressure cooker?
If so, do you have trouble getting the lid to lock on? I mean, it seems like it is locking into place. Then when it starts to come up to pressure steam starts coming out of the steam release and then from the side of the handle and it never comes up to pressure. I have to stop it and take the lid off and try it again. Is there a trick to it or something?

i don't have a Cuisinart but have used alot of pressure cookers. that is a known problem with pressure cookers. i found that if i soaked my rubber gasket in hot water for 5 - 10 minutes and then wipe it off really good to make sure there isn't anything on it, it would seal alot better. they do take some getting used to.

Is there any way to cook food without harming the environment at all?

Question by Nazuna: Is there any way to cook food without harming the environment at all?
There simply must be some way to do this

Answer by Dnizzle
You can minimize the damage but you cannot "cook" without harming the environment. the best way is probably solar ovens or stoves. But even then you would have to mine and manufacture the stuff. even with that, i doubt u will a nice hot sunny day everyday at anytime to cook your food. OR u can get a Lithium ion batter and charge it with solar panels during the day, then use the power to power your little skillet :). But pretty much, there is no way to not harm the environment. But u can reduce the harm you cause.
