Presto 7 Function Canning Kit

Everything you need to do your canning. Good quality. The tool you use to get bubbles out of the jars even has a magnet on the end. Makes retrieval of canning lids and bands easy! Everything cleans up so easily.

Really good set. I’m a complete Canning-novice and wasn’t sure why the jar opener was included since there would be no jars to open. Then I got it. Even though the jars went into the pressure canner with the ring only finger-tip tight, they came out really tight. That’s when the jar opener came in really handy. All the tools have a solid, substantial weight to them and are of very good quality. The only thing that would’ve made this set really complete is if they would’ve included a lid opener.

Happy buyer

Made in China so I was surprised at the sturdy quality of this stuff. All the rivets for hinges, etc are brass and excellent. Why don't we make this stuff in the USA anymore? I guess because the unions would drive the price up to $56.00 before shipping. I would have paid the $14.99 for the timer alone. This thing is great. It's loud, which is what you need if you're not going to be standing over your canner for 90 minutes. It will function as a countdown timer up to 99 minutes and also as a stopwatch. Only three buttons, very accessible and rubber sealed. Super intuitive, you can throw the directions for the timer away!. It has a clip on the back which also functions as a stand AND it has a magnet on the back so you can stick it on your fridge. Comes with AAA battery. As I say, worth the $14.99 alone! The rest is well made and well formed. The air removal blade with the magnet on the end was bigger than I thought it would be but it works great! The only thing I haven't used is the jar lid remover. It's heavy duty metal, I was expecting some pretty light weight stuff for the price but I was pleasantly surprised. Good stuff for an incredible price. It's all there in one stop, I was ready to can right away!

This is the first year we decided to start canning vegetables from our garden. We were amazed at the quality of the items within this kit. Usually, when you get reasonable priced kits like this, there might be one or two standout items and the rest are cheap pieces of useless plastic. This is not the case here. Everything works as expected and is coated in a nice rubber grip which is good considering everything gets wet with all the steam from sterilizing the cans. The magnet on the timer comes in handy when you want to keep it away from all the mess and put it on the refrigerator at eye level so you can just quickly glance at the time. The lid lifter is very useful as well since its little magnet makes it much easier to pick up the tops out of the boiling water instead of using tongs to fish around for them. I would highly recommend this kit to anyone who needs all the utensils necessary for canning. You will use everything in the kit and its all very well made and should last a long time.
