Just read about this in a magazine. Anyone doing this? Supposedly it'll make things such as flour or beans last 20+ years? We're looking at giving this a try, so I'd like some input from anyone that has tried it.

What is the process?

Basically, fill a mason jar with let's say flour. Put it in an oven preheated to 200 for an hour. Take them out, put on lids and rings and let cool.
