A nice canning set that comes with a solid pot and a lift screen.

Pros

Pot is a nice construction. Feels solid. Nice handles on the pot. Tools are solid. Made to last. A solid starter kit. Can work on a ceramic stove top. Plenty of room to fit seven jars. Comes with six tools to help you with the jars and make the canning process go smoothly.

Bottom Line

This set is great because it includes a blancher pot and a jar rack, which makes getting jars out of the water simple.

Pros

Dishwasher safe. Includes a colander. Large 21-quart pot can hold seven jars at a time. All you need to supply are the jars. Sturdy and reasonably priced for the amount of items you get in this set. Ships quickly. A great present for someone interested in canning.

You may have trouble using this pot on an induction range.

A nice large pot that comes with good tools to help with canning, but can't be used on a glasstop stove.

Bottom Line

This nice little set gives you the essential tools to make your canning easier at a low price.

Pros

Includes six utensil tools that come in handy for canning. A good price for this set of tools, which could cost quite a bit more if you buy them individually. Very handy, particularly the jar lifter tool. Wide-mouthed funnel is a nice touch.

Cons

No pot in this set. It is also not the highest quality set available on the market.

Bottom Line

A good quality starter tool set for canning to help you get the food in the cans and the cans out of the water easily.

Pros

Well-made little tools. Includes a timer. Funnel fits both small and large mouthed jars. These tools are made specifically for canning. Eliminates the need to improvise ways to lift jars out of hot water without burning yourself.

Cons

No pot included with this set.
