Canning Tools
Canning Equipment Essentials
I love the amazing world of technology. The tools available for canning today make canning so much safer. The magnetic lid grabber is such a simple tool lessens the struggle to get a sanitized lid out of boiling water. Used to using a set of tongs and a hot pad, the lids would stick together and make a frustrating time to get them out of the water and onto the jar. The lid grabber is a time saver as well as a most helpful tool.

Here a listing of the tools needed to safely and efficiently pressure can at home.
Pressure Canner
Your canner size matters. A tall 23-quart canner allows you to double stack jars using a second canning rack, which is usually purchased separately in packs of 2. a 15.5-quart canner is the smallest pressure canner that is available for canning at home. It cans up to 7 quarts or 8 pints. Pressure canner types include a weighted gauge and a dial gauge. Some canners may also double as a water bath canner too.

Jars
Jars come in a couple different sizes. Pints and quarts are the most popular. There are pint and a half ones, they’re hard to find. Mouth opening sizes come in regular and wide-mouth. I prefer wide mouth because you can get your hand in them to clean them well, especially if meat has been canned in the jar. Wash new jars in warm soapy water or put them in the dishwasher. If jars have been stored clean, a simple rinse out with warm water will do when getting ready to can in them. If your recipe calls for hot jars, keep them in a sink of warm water until filled. Keep them at room temperature if raw packing. Jars can be washed and reused many times for many years. Just always inspect them for cracks and chips.
Lids
Canning lids are a one-time use unless they are specifically sold as reusable. Reusable lids are more expensive. You can reuse rings indefinitely as long as they are not rusted.
Lid manufacturers not that it’s not necessary to boil new lids, but I sanitize them anyway. Lids come in direct contact with food and the quality of the lid also determines how long the food stays shelf stable.
Air Bubble Remover and Measuring Headspace
This inexpensive tool is so handy when canning. One end has step measurements to make sure the space from the food level to the top of the jar has the correct headspace for food expansion while being processes. The other end is used to remove any air bubbles in the jar after being filled with product to process.
