Ball Jar 1440010740 Collection Elite Waterbath Canner, Stainless Steel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I stumbled upon this when searching for a "flat bottom" water bath canner for making dill pickles...it was recommended on a blog somewhere.I hesitated since I had never heard of "Jarden" brand, but then realized it was made by "Ball" of the mason jar fame.

The pot is a heavy bottom bot that sits flat on my glass cooktop.I checked the owners manual for my range and it stated I could can on top of it as long as the pot was flat and it did not extend too far over the edge of the burner.CHECK YOUR MANUAL to be certain, or call the company...not worth it to screw up the sensors on your stove, or damage the material.

The see-through glass is really handy for visual monitoring and it's well made.Stunning stainless steel takes us out of the stone age in water bath canners.I am very pleased.

Fagor Home Canning Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been canning for over 30 years and have canned several thousand jars of vegetables and fruit.We fed our family primarily from the garden and orchard of our 2.5 Ac. farmette. I have used Mirro, Presto, All American and Fagor equipment.All have their pros and cons.You can use pressure cookers to can.The problem is that at 15lbs psi (at sea level) your string beans will be better for the local nursing home residents than 3 bean salad. Of course if you live in the Pyrennees (Fagor is made in Spain) or an altitude calling for 15lbs to get 240 deg. that's what you want.The 10 qt duo pressure has a fixed choice of 8lbs (not 10) or 15.8lbs only gets you to 234.4 degrees (unless you live in Death Valley or the Dead Sea area).The bacterium which secretes the botulin toxin is killed at 240 according to the USDA. You also need the high temp to kill certain enzymes in certain foods like creamed corn which everybody with a freezer freezes today instead.But I have not had a problem with the string beans at 8 lbs.As for the tomato/onions/bell pepper/garlic/basil mix, my wife starts cooking this in the afternoon so all the bacteria is dead by the time I come home. I can it by boiling water bath (have canned over 1,000 qts.) to kill the airborne yeast in the headspace.Fagor makes quality products, even though the people writing the instructions have never canned in their life. This kit fits the 10 qt. unit. If canning is new, ask around at church or a retirement group for help.It's more fun and easier to learn that way. -Canner from Lancaster Co., PA

Fox Run Five Piece Canning Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I don't typically bother to review items, but I was so pleased with this purchase that I wanted to share.I am admittedly a beginner at making jams so I don't have much experience to go by, but these items made the process so easy! The value for the price is great! I was very happy to have the wide mouth funnel when spooning out 16 jars of strawberry jam and the tightener thingy, (is that the technical term?) worked well with the hot jars.I even had no trouble with the magnetic lid lifter and found it to be very useful as I didn't even need to touch the lids before placing them on top of the jars; thus reducing the chance of contamination. I am very happy I didn't go crazy and buy an expensive canning set as these items worked absolutely fine for me!
