The equipment required for home canning is an important investment for the production gardener. Being equipped to handle multiple types of crops is essential to filling the pantry. Canners and pressure canners are absolutely required but for speed and quantity, your other home canning equipment can make all the difference in the world.
Specialty tools make preparing fruits and vegetables much quicker and easier. Cherry Pitters, apple peelers, bean stringers, pea shellers, food strainers, juicers, sauce makers, vegetable slicers and
shredders; each of these tools has an important function that provides you with a uniform product in the least amount of time.
Gardeners can spend a great deal
of effort to grow and manage their food. Certain home canning supplies
can cut that effort (and time) to a fraction by mechanizing the food
preparation process. Some of the most important canning equipment is
the tools we use to prepare the food before putting it in jars or the
dehydrator. A significant savings in the monthly food bill is often
realized when food products are purchased "raw" or in bulk and processed at
home, not to mention the health benefits from eliminating commercial
preservatives.
Maybe you have all your food preparation needs met and you are ready to process by hot water bath method, pressure canner method or by dehydrating. Our water bath canner features a deeper pot allowing over an inch of water to cover the jars, a
non-stick surface for easy cleaning, and a canning rack that keeps jars
separated and safely off the bottom. The 7-quart
Steam Canner uses less water
than conventional water bath canners and reduces preheating time significantly.
Both methods are so simple and easy to use, home canning will be a joy.
