Steam Canning





At our Preparedness Club meeting last night we learned about the best way to can: steam canning! Now, you can't get steam canners just anywhere...Walmart and Target do not carry them. You can buy them used on eBay or recycle.com...and we were told about between 30 and 40 dollars is a good price, although some folks will charge more. So we have some hunting to do.

The unit is pictured here...and I can see how this is much more efficient than bringingone of those big boiling kettles to boil..where you have 13 inches or more of water to bring to a boil. Also, with the steam canner, you do not have to wait between batches dor the canner to cool down, like you do with the boiling canners.
