What do you always have on hand? Why?
I’d count refrigerated items as pantry staples if they keep for longer than a couple weeks.
One recent addition to my pantry has been dried chillies - great base for red chile sauce for enchiladas. Those plus maseca and some beans (also both staples) and I have a base for amazing enchiladas or tacos or whatever.

What’s your batch size capacity in that electric canner? I have four canners, non electric. I can pull more than 20 pints simultaneously.
I am physically not well so the 10/13 half pints it can do in a batch is enough for me.
