Crisps, bread, cereal and dairy, sentence 16

Canned food is sealed in the can first and then the whole can is heated, so it keeps for years without a fridge; canning was invented about 200 years ago, and the first cans were opened with a hammer and chisel because the can-opener came later.

Who acts: food, can opener · What happens: can, seal, heat, keep, invent, open · To what, where: Canned food, can, whole can, canning, first cans
