Hottest Canning Supplies
I was looking for a preserving jar that would transcend the old pints and show off brandied peaches, pears and this seasons pickles with novelty. At the same time I wanted to avoid some of the pitfalls of some creative European designs— jars,sealing rubbers and lids that are difficult to keep sterile in the canning process and lids that require something odd sized be purchased for reuse.
These Leifheit jars have a great look! They draw many comments and compliments and the lids can be replaced for the next canning cycle by common stock sold most anywhere.

This canner rack fits my pressure canner correctly but the handles won’t stay up until you have 4 cans in the canner. Plus, if you aren’t careful where the handles are, the handle can block the pressure valve and never allow the canner to build pressure. I also would not trust it to lift the cans out of the canner…not sturdy enough. Would not buy this rack again.

When i bought this product, I thought it was going to be for boiling jars in a pot. It does not fit a standard pressure cooker size. I had to modify it to fit. But it was a good speedy product.

The canning rack was perfect! It fit pints sized jars as well as the quart sized jars!

I haven’t had a chance to use it yet. But I do know it is too big for my pressure cooker, but I will get a bigger one next year.
