So, the other day I was digging through the pantry, looking for something to whip up for dinner. I stumbled upon this can with a weird label – “No. 2 Can”. I was like, what the heck is a No. 2 can? I’ve seen all sorts of sizes, but this one was new to me.
First thing I did? Grab my phone and Googled it. Turns out, it’s not some super secret ingredient or anything. It’s just a standard size for canned goods.
My Deep Dive into Can Sizes
Here’s what I did:
- Started Googling: I typed in “what is a no 2 can” and started reading.
- Compared to other cans: I grabbed some other cans from my pantry – diced tomatoes, beans, and some fruit. I lined them up next to the “No. 2” can to see the difference.
- Checked the weight: I looked at the ounces and grams listed on the cans. I noticed the No. 2 can was usually around 20 ounces.
- Looked for recipes:I wanted to see some recipes about it.
It’s kinda funny how something so simple could send me down a rabbit hole. But hey, now I know! Next time I see a “No. 2 Can,” I won’t be confused. I’ll just know it’s a regular-sized can, perfect for all sorts of things.
