Ball® Canning Discovery ™ Kit 6-pc Ball® Canning Discovery ™ Kit 6-pc

Have not had the opportunity to use this product yet. I purchased it because I wanted an alternative to the full size water bath canner when I only had a couple of pint or half pint jars to put up, so I am looking forward my first time.

Great for the budding cook in your family. I love mine. Great price and fast shipping.

I never canned before so didn't want to invest in a full size canner. This worked great in my existing stock pot and it could handle 5 of the jelly jars at a time which was perfect for the small batches made with the automatic jam and jelly maker.i didn't bother with the handle on the basket and just used my jar lifters I purchased separately.

I didn't read anywhere in the description that the basket held only 3 jars. I was looking for something larger. Would have sent the package back, but with the cost of shipping I just kept it. I gave it 3 stars because there is nothing wrong with the quality of the product. I felt for the size of the basket and 3 canning jars, it is over-priced

I had bought one of these when they first came out and loved it for small jobs, I have a large canner and a pressure canner also and a freshsaver.. I gavemy 1st one away to my sister in law( a beginning canner) and couldn't get along without one. So I bought another and have already used it, A friend gave me a gallon of BBQ sauce and I recanned it into pints, which is more usable & storable for my family.
