McClelland 100g tins

[bigboi]

This has probably come up, but for the life of me I cannot seem to find information about cellaring tins that have the pop top on them. More specifically McClelland 100g tins. Do I cellar them as is or should I put them in a jar to cellar?

i would be interested in this as well just having bought 5 McC tins...

If this gets answered in this thread Here this can be closed because the question was posed there what I would like to know here.

I've never seen a compromised McClellands tin, even when they are pushing two decades old. They are the only manufacturer whose tins I trust to keep in the tin rather than transferring to a jar, if that's worth anything.

Doctorthoss was that a 50g tin or a 100g tin? did have a pop top? Just wondering because I am not sure.

The thinner metal makes it more vulnerable to being poked open, but other than that I don't see why it would be any different to cellar than any other tin

I have 100g pop top tins of Rattray's Marlin flake that are 9 and 12 years old and they show no signs of compromise.

Are saying their 50g and 100g cans have different tops? Cause my 3 McClelland 50g cans have what I thought were pop top tins, its got that pop can type tab that you bend forward and pull to peel back the top, is that not a pop top?

All of the McClelland tins have pop-up pull tops, with the tabs.

They are fine to cellar as is.

I have several twenty year old McClelland 50g and 100g tins that are bulging nicely and sealed tight. I have no worries aging them.

Both sizes are equally good, IMO, and I don't worry about the lid. Like I said, I've never seen one compromised in any way, while I've seen examples of every other type I'm familiar with fail.
