Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Back to Basics 174 Magnetic Lid Lifter
Customer Review: great canning tool, keeps fingers cool
Summary: 4 Stars
This little gadget allows you to magnetically pick up the lids from the hot simmering water for your canning jars. Saves burned finger tips, and proves much more sanitary than other methods. Had hoped for a bit more umph in the magnet, but I suppose then it would pick up two lids? I would highly recommend, and now wouldn't be without it!Customer Review: Good item
Summary: 3 Stars
but magnet could be stronger. If you are just lifting the lids as is it works great but I heat mine in a water bath as is recommended and then they don't grip/hold onto the lids as well. I felt like this was a great idea, just needed a stronger magnet to warrant 5 stars.Customer Review: Does the job
Summary: 5 Stars
I couldn't find these anywhere in the stores in summer 2008, so I ordered the lid lifter and jar lifter here and both work great. Makes life much easier when canning--no more unsteady tongs or using my silicone oven mitt to plunge my hand into boiling water.Customer Review: Couldn't Find in Small Town USA
Summary: 4 Stars
I live in a small town and couldn't find one of these magnetic lid lifters; I'd even tried to make my own but couldn't find a safe glue that held up to hot water! So I was happy to find this one and have been pleased with this simple little tool.Customer Review: Useful... would be moreso if the magnet were stronger
Summary: 4 Stars
This lid lifter definitely comes in handy when heating lids to can... I only wish the magnet were stronger. It usually grabs onto the edge of the lid, but occasionally the lid slips off back into the water. Definitely a good bargain though.
