PreserveAdvisor

Eight ways to preserve food. One place to keep it honest.

PreserveAdvisor is the advisor for home food preservation — not another timer, not a recipe box. Plan a batch, check that it's actually done before you package it, finish it with notes for next time, and keep a Storage shelf that tells you the truth about what you have.

EIGHT METHODS, EACH WITH ITS OWN REAL DATA
Freeze drying, dehydrating, freezing, cold storage, sweet preserves, vinegar pickling, oil and fat infusion, and alcohol infusion. Every method has its own sourced numbers — nothing here is one generic setting stretched to cover everything:
• Freeze drying — cycle-time estimates, the snap test, and oxygen-absorber sizing for your containers
• Dehydrating — temperatures and dryness signals by food, not a single countdown
• Freezing — blanching times and how long each food stays at its best
• Cold storage — what keeps in a root cellar or cool basement, and how to store it
• Sweet preserves — tested starter recipes for jam, jelly and marmalade kept in the fridge
• Vinegar pickling — a prescribed brine ratio and acidity floor, never left to guesswork
• Infused oil — safe handling for garlic and herbs in oil, refrigerated or frozen
• Alcohol infusion — proof and steeping guidance by ingredient

CHECK — BEFORE YOU PACKAGE
A machine's beep or a timer running out doesn't mean a batch is done. Check walks you through the real signals — a snap test on the thickest pieces, a cold-spot check, a weight that stops changing — and gives you a straight answer: done, not done yet, or not enough evidence. If it isn't done, set a reminder to check again.

FINISH THE BATCH, LEARN FROM IT
Mark a batch finished, note what you'd change, and those notes come back the next time you plan the same food — so you're not re-learning the same lesson.

STORAGE — A SHELF YOU CAN TRUST
Every batch you put up gets a home in Storage: what it is, where it is, when it was made, and an honest use-by date from published food-safety sources, never invented. Anything past its date or close to it is pinned to the top. Storage also answers "Is it still good?" for anything already in your freezer, fridge, pantry or cellar, with reminders before things need using and printable jar labels.

SAFETY FIRST
No invented numbers. Storage windows and safety guidance come from published extension and food-safety sources, gaps are labeled as gaps, and when something shows spoilage the guidance is plain: throw it out, don't taste-test it.

FREE TO START
Ten tested starter recipes and free foods in every method let you run the whole loop — plan, check, finish, and Storage — at no cost, with 6 checks a month. The freezer power-outage check is always free.
