Normally, corpses of dead monsters will rot away quickly, or they will be too large for one person to eat.

Applying a tinning kit to put the corpse in a tin can will preserve it for future consumption, or as a trophy. However, you cannot sacrifice tinned corpses.

Many damaging corpses do not cause their usual damage if tinned; normally, Z and M are sickening to eat, but they become edible when tinned. Poisonous and acidic corpses are also rendered harmless. However, corpses which turn you to stone, stun you or cause you to hallucinate will still have the same effect when tinned. Additionally, tins of corpses will provide the same intrinsic as a corpse alone. This makes them quite useful when working with giants and dragons, and for keeping tengu corpses to eat once you have a ring of teleport control to avoid gettuing uncontrolled teleportitis.

Tins made from a tinning kit always have the same BUC status as the tinning kit, and are either homemade or rotten. Blessed tins are never rotten and can be opened in one turn. Uncursed tins are occasionally rotten and cursed tins always are.

Tinning kits only have a limited number of charges, and may need to be recharged after much use. See Charging#Tinning kit for more details.
