==History==
The procedure of cooking ready-made food in cans and soldering the containers shut, thereby preserving  the contents for longer, was invented by the Parisian cook Nicolas-François Appert in 1804. Cans were only distributed over a large territory when the British salesman Durand promoted them as appropriate vessels for Royal Navy provisions during the war against Napoleon (1810). Although metal cans had been available in the US since 1817, they did not come into general use until the Civil War when they were used to carry soldiers' provisions. Around 1880, they became part of the standard choice of goods an average American grocer offered to his customers.
==Did You Know That?==
In the 30s, people used sheet metal cans for preserving food. At last, the food industry could cook fruit, meat and fish in advance, preserve them in metal containers and sell them as non-perishable dishes. Thanks to this invention, housewives and restaurant owners no longer have to salt and pickle their meat and seafood.
