Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Back to Basics 286 5-Piece Home Canning Kit
Customer Review: Oh Yes I Can...
Summary: 4 Stars
The Back to Basics 5-Piece Home-Canning Kit provides the essentials necessary for home canning. The tongs are useful and the jar opener is a nice addition.The main three components, the funnel, jar lifter and magnet, are decent quality and held up well enough to this year's canning processes. Since I was unable to locate the individual components at our local retailers, I found this set a good buy, even if it only held up for one season.
Others mentioned that the rubber coating peeled off the metal on the jar lifter and I didn't find that to be the case. I did notice a slight notching on the rubber coating after lifting six or seven jars but that disappeared once the lifter cooled.
If Ball's home canning kit is not available, this definitely serves the purpose well.
Customer Review: Very good

I've only used this once, for my first try and canning (raspberry jam). All in all it worked very nicely, and made things a lot easier. My only complaints are: 1) the jar pliers worked well to tighten the lids, but they should really include two, and 2) I don't know if it's the fault of the magnet or the thin metal the jar lids were made of, but to use the magnet to pull the lids out of the water I had to angle them a bit and lift very slowly, or else the force of the water would pull the lid off the magnet.Customer Review: Home canning tools

The Back to Basics 5-pc Home Canning Set was very helpful in my new found love of canning. There were two things I would change in the set. I could have used a wide-mouth funnel instead of the small opening it had. Also the magnet, used to pick up seals, wasn't a very strong magnet. I used it anyway and it helped a lot in not reaching in boiling hot water for the seals. I also bought the AllAmerican Pressure Canner/Cooker. Happy Canning!

This kit is very helpful with canning. The jar tongs grab the jars by the neck and make it so easy to lift them out of boiling water. I used a towel to try to grab them before. The magnetic lid grabber pulls the seals out of the boiling water with such ease. I always tried to fish them out with tongs before. The funnel is very large and catches most all of the splash and it is so easy to clean. I am thrilled with my purchase.
