Wouldn't boiling it (after it has been purchased pasteurized from the store) qualify as "processed"?
I dunno, shes always done it and so has everyone she knew in India.
I think that as people living in "first world countries" where we have ready access to everything we need tend to think thats the ONLY way to do things.
I do definitely believe there are safety issues to it. The OTHER mom I nanny for had a neighbor die of botulism from their own canned food. So it definitely happens. Personally, its not a risk that *I* would take. But I recognize I am saying that as a spoiled American who has either always had access to proper equipment or else been able to buy as much canned goods from the store as I could desire. I recognize this is not the norm in every culture.
I would exhaust all my other options before trying this, personally.
I guess I had read that the cans explode or leak generally if there is a problem such as bacteria in the food.
I would believe that its not always visible or smellable/tasteable otherwise my friends neighbor would not have died.
