Home Canning Kit Tools
A great way to get some basic tools you will need to accomplish your home canning projects is to get a home canning kit. There are different sizes of home canning kits, some come with a hot water bath canner included but are more expensive.
For the beginner, or for the experienced home canner just a small home canning kit is a good investment as they usually include:
- Wide-mouth Canning Funnel
- Vinyl-coated Jar Lifter for Hot Jars
- Jar Opener Wrench
- Vinyl-coated Kitchen Tongs
- Magnetic Lid Lifter
These tools are a must for every home canner and will last for years if properly cared for. The bes
t care to give your home canning kit tools is to hand wash them in warm soapy water -- even though some may say they are dishwasher safe, the rubber coating will crack and discolor if you wash them in your automatic dishwasher. Why? Because of the high temperatures the dishwasher usually is set at as well as the chemicals in the detergents.With that said, good luck and happy canning!
