Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 maybe not, but I'm sure there are cans out there that can be used instead that are similar in size and shape, she was just stating what was used there and I thought it was a good way to recycle them. ~Tee - Star Tuesday, February 17, 2009 9:45 AM using tuna cans?

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 The thought of a dessert in a tuna can turns me off completely. If there is such a can laying around to recycle I'd have to paint the can and maybe put a small cactus in it.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I would caution anyone about re-using tin cans for baking or food storage. The seams on cans are sealed with solder and many cans are lined with a lacquer/varnish. Re-use of a can, especially baking in it could cause chemical leakage into your food.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2009 Report Share Posted February 17, 2009 I think cans that held water chestnuts or bamboo shoots would be about the same size. You could always buy a can of tuna and then feed it to your cat, if you have one. Or, if you have a cat but don't want to buy it tuna, what about a can that held catfood? It could be washed out just like a tuna can would have to be. Just an idea. If you try using a tuna can for cutting something out, be sure to poke a few holes in the bottom of the can so the air will go thru while you are cutting. I also don't know if tuna cans are sharp enough for cutting anymore....the way the rims are made, I mean. I have missed part of this thread so am not sure what the tuna cans are needed for.
