Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Fagor Home Canning Kit
Customer Review: Glad I got it
Summary: 4 Stars
This isn't the greatest thing out there from what I can tell. I don't care because I had nothing! This is much better than nothing! The canning basket is a bit small & the handles are short. The recipe book is only for pressure canning & the instructions aren't so hot. I love the stainless canning funnel since most are plastic - yuck! I use everything in this kit except for the book! The lid lifter magnet is weak but if you are slow & patient, it does the job! I will keep my eyeballs open for a better basket at a yard sale or something like that, but in the meantime, I have what I need to can without problems.Customer Review: Nice quality
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the funnel! Very sturdy and durable. The canning rack fits into one of my smaller stock pots which is nice for smaller batches. This is a nice set. They include a book with some recipes and color pictures. Beware if you've never canned before, The pictures under the "steps for pressure canning" were taken by someone who had no clue. Step 2. shows jar of food with someone removing bubbles, step 3. wipe rims of jars... shows empty jar turned upside down with someone wiping it, step 5 shows how the magnetic lid lifter works... except they are using it after the ring is on!. Anyway this is a great set anyway.Customer Review: Some of the pieces are essential, others not too useful
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked this kit. The lifter for the hot bottles was great. I used it whenever I canned. The magnetic pic up for lids didn't work as well as I'd hoped. The funnel was a good item, nice and wide to prevent slop-overs and messes. The bubble releaser was not an item I used much. The cookbook was pretty good and I used the stewed tomato recipe in it. I'm a first time canner, so I wanted to make sure I had the tools I needed. This was a good collection for a beginner and I'm glad I bought it.Customer Review: some pieces useful, some not
Summary: 3 Stars
I got this along with a pressure cooker/canner as a gift. Some of the "tools" included are helpful while some have never been unwrapped. Specifically:
USEFUL
magnetic wand
jar "lifter"
jar "rack"
funnel (fits jars better than ones I had)
NOT SO USEFUL
the plastic bubble releaser
the jar tightener
ladle (I already have a couple of these)
Is it worth getting the set? For most people...probably, yes.
Customer Review: Accessories for canning
Summary: 5 Stars
I had purchased a pressure cooker (Fagor 10 qt) without realizing that these accessories were really necessary. The kit includes everything that is needed to use the pressure cooker properly. All of the items are of good quality (metal funnel, rack, jar lifter etc). The only mistake I made was not taking advantage of the combination order (pressure cooker plus accessories).
