Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Back to Basics 286 5-Piece Home Canning Kit

Customer Review: A must-have for all canning needs!
Summary: 4 Stars

What a great kit for the money! No more burnt fingers. The funnel is just the right size. I was a little concerned that it might melt because it's made of plastic, but it has held up just fine. If there is one thing I would improve, it would be the size of the magnet. I think it should be a little bigger -- sometimes it just doesn't quite grab the lids. But it's still better than nothing. You just need to be patient.

Customer Review: Adequate for my needs
Summary: 4 Stars

Items seem to be of adequate quality. Made in Taiwan. Like some have said before, the magnet on the lid lifter could be stronger. After I made my purchase through Amazon I did see a canning set of tools at Walmart consisting of, lid lifter, funnel, jar lifter, and Bubble Remover & Headspace Tool for $6.95. Looks like it was a very good deal. Those interested in a canning tool kit might want to shop around.

Customer Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars

I looked everywhere for this pot and for the canning accessories, and couldn't find them in any store near my house. A store about an hour away supposedly had the canner and the accessories included for something like $70. I found both on Amazon (separately) and paid way, way less and they were both delivered to my home in a few days. I made applesauce and apple butter and everything came out great.

Customer Review: Handy tools to use for canning----
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a nice bunch of handy tools to use for canning. The only one I don't like is the magnet on a stick. (You use it to pick up lids and rings out of hot water). The magnet isn't really strong enough to sucessfully hold onto a lid or ring long enough to get it out of the water. I ended up using my husband's telescoping magnet out of his tool box! All the other tools are great and very useful.

Customer Review: Everything for Jamming!
Summary: 5 Stars

I made my first batch of jams, jellies and sauces this year. This set was a big help because it offered all the tools I needed to can up about 30 some jars of various products. It came with helpful tips and all the gadgets needed to make the first time canning succesful! I also got the Ball Book for canning everything and I am confident I can now attempt canning anything with this kit and the book!
