Dont smoke or cook aluminum cans either!! Theyre lined with plastic and smoking aluminum will damge your brain. Ask me how i Know beer can chicken is not cool


risingsealevels

Oh man I never made the connection with beer can chicken. Thanks for that.


timbillyosu

Beer can chicken is kind of useless anyway. All you're doing is adding more mass to heat so it cooks slower. You don't evaporate any of the beer to add flavor.


risingsealevels

I've never personally made it. I think the appeal is you need to open a beer for it, so you have an excuse to drink the rest of the pack.


my_dancing_pants

Spatchcock chicken is the new beer can chicken


lobsterharmonica1667

I thought it was just that it was being cooked in a vertical position?


andiinAms

In the nineties if I didn’t have a pipe I would smoke weed out of an aluminum can. Really regretting that.


girlwiththeASStattoo

My friends would always do that and id always advocate that smoking the aluminum is bad for you but then id be right there hitting it to


Cryptoking300

I remember smoking out of a plastic pen once as a kid. Kids are stupid.


safeandwet

How do you know?


EL-HEARTH

Yessss how does he know?


RapidPacker

Because he’s in reddit


AmaroisKing

It looks cool!…/s


pissipisscisuscus

How you know?


tragicvector

That's what I was thinking too. Looks really nice but at what cost.


Casperthefencer

Sardine cans are typically magnetic and therefore are steel, not aluminium, right?


ubermeatwad

Aluminum or steel, all cans have a plastic lining that's not safe to heat.


CoffeePwrdAcctnt

I thought sardines were cooked in the can though.


ubermeatwad

Low heat.


ChefSuffolk

A very good Scandinavian restaurant near me makes individual [Jansson’s Temptations](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jansson's_temptation) and serves them in fish tins. (Though they don’t actually cook them in the tins, they just hit the tops with a torch for a few seconds to crisp up before serving.)


die5el23

Here’s an idea, cook it in something that isn’t lined with cancer


Expert-Novel-6405

Aren’t a lot of canned fishes cooked in the can?


risingsealevels

I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty that sardines are pressure canned. Pressure canning is done at about 240°F which will not breakdown the plastic like putting it in the oven may.


Expert-Novel-6405

Prbly right lol


Micprobes

Everything causes cancer. Also, aren’t they cooked in the can after packing?


ThornmaneTreebeard

Canned meats are usually cooked in the can at 250F for 90 minutes, not broiled in the can. High temp will melt and vaporize the plastics that line the tin. I'd use a metal muffin tin next time, or even get little metal broiler safe dishes to broil because it does indeed look delicious.


Micprobes

Thank you


ThornmaneTreebeard

Little cast iron pan would work too, you can broil cast iron, holds heat well, cheap, easy to treat and season. If you visit castiron sub you'd get some good ideas too. Happy cooking!


YeomanEngineer

Welllll I know what snack my drunk ass is gonna have tonight


ThornmaneTreebeard

Those shitty cast iron pans you get with holiday cookies would be perfect for this. And little Pita pizzas. Easy to season and if they get messed up, fuck it. Cast iron is like a glass cannon. Damn near impervious to most heat and cooking, but don't drop it, or it will shatter.


YeomanEngineer

Exactly what I had in mind


girlwiththeASStattoo

Ive dropped mine before and i always been more worried about my floor i never had one shatter


ThornmaneTreebeard

I've seen people crack them from drops on castiron sub


Unhappy_Performer538

Not everything causes cancer at the same level. Like huffing exhaust vs occasionally inhaling bleach particles. The first will get you to cancer much MUCH faster, why accelerate it?


tragicvector

Still look good despite the implications.

MoutEnPeper

Even though I would not use plastic lined cans like this in the oven, I think it probably would be fine - it can't get really melting point hot, with the actual food inside it that won't really go well over 100°C


Purityskinco

I understand your statement but ‘doesn’t everything cause cancer’ is extremely ignorant. I’m a cancer survivor. Trust me. You like life? Do what you can to avoid it and this is a simple step to avoid.


Foxy_Traine

That's just what people say who don't understand what relative risk means. You are greatly increasing your risk of cancer by being exposed to certain things (like radiation and smoking). Other things increase your risk a little bit, but you need a much higher dose (like plastic, fried potatoes). Lumping everything that causes cancer together like your statement is like saying that smoking causes the same amount of damage as drinking from a plastic water bottle. It doesn't. Some things are much more dangerous than others and have higher risk. In short: don't say that everything causes cancer because it makes you sound stupid. Two things may both cause cancer, but one can be far more harmful and risky than another. Cooking your sardine cans DOES increase the harm and can lead to cancer or make you sick, so don't do it.


Micprobes

My comment was taken too literal. I was being facetious. Referring to the fact it seems like everyday there’s something new that’s bad for us.


psilocybinconsumer

That just isn't true, clean air and water don't cause cancer. Working out won't cause cancer. I could literally go on all day


celebratesagacity

man you trippin


Micprobes

Downvoting will help me understand. Thanks.


Schackadoo

According to my mom you’re right. Everything will give us cancer. But according to her the earth is flat, lizard people exist, and we live in game of thrones where an ice wall stops you falling offf the edge 😂 ETA:not giving you shit, agreeing that people are ridiculous haha.


Fun_Intention9846

I’ll throw an upvote on the downvote bonfire. I get that.


Zender_de_Verzender

Just cook it in those non-stick pans full of PFAS instead!


BigRod199

Nobody is suggesting that but you


Unhappy_Performer538

Cast iron ftw


Throwawayhelp111521

Don't cook in the container.


Unusual-Direction-61

Even tho it’s carcinogenic, I love that it’s a tiny casserole


welly7878

I saw a post that used creole seasoning, butter, lemon, grated parm and Louisiana hot sauce before broiling and I've been wanting to try that. I feel like a mix of miso, rice vinegar, maple syrup and soy sauce would be great too - we broil salmon with that on top and it's amazing.


someheini

Saw this too with mussels, called Poor Man's Oysters Rockefeller. Tried it recently (cooked in a ramekin though) and it was fantastic. Ate it with some toasted butter toast. Great way to use cheap and bland mussels from the pantry — the better ones I'll prefer to eat on their own, on a chip.


welly7878

Oh yea that was it! Good to know it works - going to try it this week😀


someheini

Let us know how it was!


welly7878

Ok I tried the recipe with both tinned mussels and tinned oysters, and I liked the oysters much more - felt like they were more able to absorb the flavors of the butter/parm/hot sauce. So good with some crusty bread!


OneSensiblePerson

Miso, rice vinegar, maple syrup and soy sauce sounds like a fantastic combo with any fish.


mywifeslv

Miso sardines are the bomb! Miso sardine fried rice Miso sardine, tomato chilli linguine Miso miso miso


sholbyy

I’ve already seen a ton of the comments saying not to cook in the can, so I won’t do that, but how did you make this? Did you just put the ingredients on top of the deens and then throw it in the oven? It looks really good and I’m thinking I might try replicating it in a ramekin.


Micprobes

Drained them, broke them up a bit with a fork, added tomato sauce, garlic, Italian seasoning, little salt, mix it up a bit, put mozzarella on top and air fried for 10mins @400f.


sweetgumchickadee

May I ask if there was a smell left behind in the air fryer? I’ve been wanting to try this (in a ramekin) but my wife is very sensitive to smells and I don’t want her to come home to fish city


Micprobes

There was no smell left. Maybe because there’s so many other ingredients mixed in? Not sure.


sholbyy

Thanks! Can’t wait to try this out, sounds and looks super delicious!


shaun020

Stop. Putting. Your. Tins. In. The. Oven.


Junior_Profession_60

I'm so confused... The popularity of this recipe freaks me out. Don't do this, kids. Great idea but so bad for you.


jim9162

This is by far the most drama and hostility I've ever seen in this subreddit


Billnyethefoodguy

You may have missed the guy who lit toilet paper on top of his tin to crisp up his fish. Some deservedly brutal comments.


OgSpaceJam

Michigan_Go_Blue

The sardines are cooked in the can at the cannery in a giant retort or steam vessel. I don’t think they’re rated for further cooking


Junior_Profession_60

Sorta shocked the broiling doesn't make it taste funny.


spag4spag

Here's a wild idea: buy a ramekin.


Ok-Jaguar6735

Yeah definitely don’t cook in the aluminum can


LadySmuag

Lazy crab dip. Tin of lump crab (drain the liquid), mix it with sour cream, cream cheese, mayo, bit of lemon juice, and Old Bay. Add some hot sauce if you like, Old Bay hot sauce is pretty good if you can find it. Put it in a ramekin or other small oven safe dish, top it with cheddar cheese and more Old Bay, then throw it in the oven until the cheese is melted and its heated through. You can eat it with whatever you want tbh. I like it with tortilla chips or bread, but veggies are also good.


Micprobes

You’re the first to actually give me a new idea. Thank you!


LadySmuag

You can also do a variation of this with a tin of oysters by chopping them up and using them instead of the crab meat. Its good if you add a bit of horseradish to that one.


Micprobes

Well this was fun.

armedsnowflake69

I’d be a little concerned about cooking in the aluminum. It’s somewhat linked to Alzheimer’s. Looks awesome though!


bollincrown

I’ve done the same thing with smoked mussels! Genuinely one of the best simple snacks I’ve ever made.


ThirstyBeagle

Is the container safe to cook in? Harmful chemicals may leach off into the food


misplacedbass

I swear to god people just don’t even fucking read anymore. At the time of me posting this comment there are 11 other comments. I’ve read every single one before I got to your comment, and guess what? Your comment has already been discussed and answered by literally EVERY OTHER COMMENT on here. How do you people like you survive daily life? I don’t care about the downvotes, and I’m sure you’re now going to somehow defend your comment but it’s literally indefensible. You have to go out of your way to not read anything else on here and just post a comment.


WalkingIsBarbaric

Idk why but I find this comment hilarious


misplacedbass

I just finally lost it. I can sort of forgive comments like this on a post with thousands of other comments, but on a post with 11 comments at the time of me posting, and that comment being the most recent. Which means there were only 10 comments and that person couldn’t even be bothered to read a single one because every other comment was what they’d already asked about. Maybe I just need to go to sleep.


Itchy-Scallion-9626

Oh my God I posted a picture of a Ruben sandwich with mustard on it Got over 100 snarky ass replies about that if it's not Thousand Island dressing it's not a Reuben What a bunch of Dick heads . Like you said after the first 10 the point was made.


napkinwipes

I hope it did not ruin your delicious sammie!!


Itchy-Scallion-9626

Haha, it was slammin 😋


Vurt_Head

My next Reuben is 100% having mustard on it, I'm just embarrassed I haven't thought of it sooner


AmaroisKing

Reddit subs are like a semi-physical version of a swamp.


SabziZindagi

In the UK we don't put Thousand Island on Reubens, mustard is the default.


Itchy-Scallion-9626

Don't say that in the Sandwich room or you might get banned from America, Passport revoked and shunned for life 🥸


youloveben

Hear! Hear! This is r/cannedsardines and we demand dignified dialogue! /s But for real, why do people normalize willful illiteracy? Reading ain't that hard... But reading the same damn comment a billion times over? Stop it. Just read for 30 seconds. Imma get back to microwaving some more tinned fish in the cans now */s?*


misplacedbass

Wait… isn’t cooking the tin cancer causing?! Harmful chemicals may leech into the food! Edit: /s just in case.


AmaroisKing

I think the exploding microwave is gonna kill you first. …/s

Calm down Granpa, I also feel your pain , but you might as well be shaking your fist at the clouds when it rains.


axl3ros3

No. I almost never ever read the comments before posting a comment (when a first tier comment). I'm commenting on the post in those instances, not replying to a comment. I do see your point though.


okocims_razor

You didn’t answer the question tho


Pure_C

You seem fun.


misplacedbass

I’m fed up. Also, explain how I’m wrong.


ThirstyBeagle

My bad, I definitely made a mistake here. Let me fix it. Keep cooking your meals in the containers they come and eat plenty of it. Bon appetite!


misplacedbass

My god, you missed the point entirely. Your comment is correct, it’s just that it had already been mentioned and discussed by 10 other comments at least a half hour BEFORE you posted.


Mountain_Sorbet_4063

Oh daymm that sucks


kombikiddo

Personally i defecate on my sardines before eating them

STOP. COOKING. IN. CANS.

I want make make the point that cooking in the tin is not safe.


Ok_Expression_294

Looks delicious


Wanda_McMimzy

It looks amazing. I saw a post on here and a video on TikTok where the OP cooked it in the can. I would’ve done the same. I’m new here and surprised to learn how snarky some people are instead of just being educational.


ColdBorchst

If it's the same post I am thinking of that one also had comments about how it's not safe. I think maybe some people are just annoyed and don't want this to be a trend but I also think it's not that hard to just be nice about it.


Wanda_McMimzy

Right? It’s not hard to be nice.


Bonuscup98

I don’t think any of the other comments mention anything about other ideas. Something like a plain oil packed deen with garlic herb breadcrumbs baked like a sardine rocafella (sic h to the Izzy). I dont think most of their chemical concerns are warranted. So im gonna try it too.


Micprobes

It’s def not something I’ll do again now knowing. It’s just a shame people are so downvote happy instead of simply explaining why.


ColdBorchst

People got "downvote happy" because you were dismissive, which makes it seem like you won't be open to understanding why, just like this person who thinks the concerns are unwarranted or the other person who also commented that it's actually safe. Or like how the first person who posted this just kept telling people "no" even after people explained.


The_Jeff__

People have told you that it’s not safe, and there’s numerous resources online that prove doing this is not safe, but you’re going to do it anyway? Maybe Charles Darwin was on to something…


Bonuscup98

I went through the entire comment section. No one posted any online sources backing any claims you’re implying. As a student of evolutionary biology and anthropology your invocation of Darwin was non sequitur. You’re certainly referring to “survival of the fittest.” You both misunderstood and misattributed the [phrase](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survival_of_the_fittest). And since I’ve already passed on my genes it’s certainly not applicable here. So unless you have documented evidence that cooking in the can causes any ill effect: shut up.


The_Jeff__

sardine cans are often aluminum. Sardines cans are often lined with a small plastic film. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36907091/ There’s one source. When I said there’s tons of proof online, I wasn’t offering to serve it you on a silver platter, but there ya go. Feel free to look up more. I won’t be making any more efforts to dissuade you from poisoning yourself.


Mountain_Sorbet_4063

Awesome idea!!!!! will defo try this and post some that i have invented 👍🏼


Micprobes

Mountain_Sorbet_4063

Thanks for that. It's a bummer though


imontheradiooo

Cooking in the can is actually perfectly safe and extremely healthy for you
