A Box of Canned Corned Beef is a shop box that holds 6 cans of Canned Corned Beef. It is a bulk way to carry and store canned meat that keeps for a long time. The box weighs 4.0, which is less than the 4.8 that six loose cans weigh.
The Open Box of Canned Food recipe empties the box into 6 cans. Six loose cans can go back into a box with the Pack 6 Cans of Food in Box recipe. Boxes of canned corned beef are a rare find on store shelves and in survivor caches.
Eating
The food is in the cans inside the box. Corned beef comes in ring pull cans, so the Open Ring-Pull Canned Food recipe opens them by hand. An opened can lowers hunger by 24 and holds 720 calories. That is more than a can of Canned Spaghetti Bolognese at 540. Each can carries 78 grams of protein and 48 grams of fat.
A few cans of corned beef help a thin character gain weight fast. The meat is good hot, so a warmed can gives a small mood lift. An opened can adds 12 hunger to a Pizza, a Burger, a Stew, a Stir Fry, a Salad, Pasta or a Rice dish. It adds 8 to an Omelette or a Sandwich.

Storage
Sealed cans keep without spoiling, so a box of canned corned beef suits a long term food store. Once a can is opened, the meat stays fresh for 2 days and is fully rotten by day 4. A fridge slows both counts down. The cans are best opened one at a time, only when they will be eaten.
Locations
A Box of Canned Corned Beef is a rare find. General stores and the shelves at Gigamart and grocery stores hold one now and then. Survivor food caches, survivor crates and house kitchens turn one up even less often. Grocery storage rooms and cafeteria kitchens hold one only once in a long while.
