Presto 85622 pressure cooker rack. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this because I have a 10" Fagor pressure cooker that didn't come with a canning insert, and the only one they offer is specifically made for 4 pint jars. This will work for me (haven't canned with it yet) because it fits about 1 or 1 1/2 inches from the bottom of the cooker. It doesn't quite sit all the way--it get sandwiched by the apparently sloping sides of the pot. But it will still serve its purpose, albeit with my losing about an inch of headroom.

Progressive 3.5-Quart Asparagus Steamer Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this asparagus steamer a couple of years ago and was able to use it only a few times because the basket and the bottom of the steamer rusted right away. I have several stainless steel pots and none of them rusted...they are not supposed to. I was definitely not happy with the product!

Back to Basics 400A 7-Quart Aluminum Home Steam Canner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been canning for 20 years, I have had this canner system for 15 and I will not ever go back to boiling water bath canning ever again. This canner is not meant to replace a pressure canner for low acid foods. It is a shallow pan with a rack and a large lid. The shallow pan is filled with water and boiled, the rack fits over the boiling water and the jars are put on the rack (7 quarts at a time). When the water boils, it creates steam- steam is at least 212 degree water- steam can actually get hotter than boiling water. When the steam is at a certain level (in the instructions) you begin timing your jars. The reason that this is so easy is that it doesn't take 20 minutes after you put your jars into the rack just to come back to a boil, thus saving a lot of time. I highly recommend this product. I just made salsa and it took me 30 minutes for 14 jars- In a traditional pot it would have taken at least 2 hours. That is the difference!

A smart alternative to the water-bath canning method, this generously sized canner harnesses the power of steam to quickly preserve freshly harvested fruits and vegetables, using less water and saving both time and energy. The 7-quart unit's shallow water pan features a removable rack, which holds up to seven pint- or quart-size jars--great for large batches of jam, canned beans, applesauce, and more. Equipped with air holes for proper ventilation, the canner's large dome fits easily over the jars, and it can be inverted for use as a 15-quart kettle when the canning season ends.
Made of durable rust-resistant aluminum, the canner provides a beautiful, gleaming addition to any kitchen collection, plus ensure years of long-lasting high-quality performance. Both the pan and dome sport cool-touch side handles for safe, secure handling and transport, and they clean up easily by hand with hot, soapy water. A user manual and recipes come included. Not recommended for use on a glass-top stove, the 7-quart steam canner measures approximately 13 by 13-1/5 by 9-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Norpro KRONA Stainless Steel Steamer Juicer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Last year (2008) our little planting of grapes finally started producing. We borrowed a steam juicer and were able to can about 42 quarts of grape juice (along with eating a bunch and selling some). The juicer was so nice that we decided to purchase our own. This Norpro Juicer Steamer has many of the features we were looking for. Stainless steel. Good capacity. We also liked this unit because of the glass lid which allows you to know how the process is going without opening it up (one thing we didn't like with the steamer we borrowed last year). I also noticed that the handles are designed to remain cooler than the other unit - another good feature of this steamer.

Mehu-Liisa 10 Liter Stainless Steel Steam Juicer - Made in Finland Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you want to make juice from fruit - this is a *must* have. When I first moved into our current home I was confronted with a fence that had 45 feet of grape vine on it. The first fall I started to process the grapes the way I had every other fruit at our previous homes. After 2 days of working I had only progressed about 3 feet down the fence!
That's when I called the local home extension office. The sent me to a store that carried this steamer. Problem solved. I finished the remaining 42 feet of grapevine in about 8 hours and had 14 gallons of concentrated grape juice to show for my efforts.
The price tag may seem high, but it *is* stainless steel and has given me 14 years of good service so far. I expect it will last beyond when I will be interested in making grape juice.

Cook N Home 9-1/2-Quart Stainless-Steel Juicer Steamer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the greatest juicer I have ever used! I juice elderberries every year to make concentrate for the flu and cold season. These little berries are very hard to juice, and with the hanging time involved (usually over night) it took at least twelve hours just to get the juice. With this steamer juicer I had pure juice in one half hour and had made the concentrate and water bath canned it in a total of one hour. I have also used the steamer juicer for stawberries, blackberries, apples, and tomatoes with wonderful results. Winemakers and home canners would be doing themselves a big favor by purchasing one of these, as the time saved and the quality of the juice will pay for the juicer in no time.

With a 9-1/2-quart capacity, this juicer steamer offers plenty of room for high-volume juicing, measuring approximately 12 inches in diameter by 14-1/2 inches tall. Simply add fresh fruit in the top container, fill the bottom container with water, and bring to a boil on the stove top. The resulting steam gently extracts the juice, which drips into the center pan where it can be collected from the surgical-quality tube. Drink the vitamin-rich juice fresh, or save it for making jelly or syrup. Without the center pan and tube, the juicer steamer can also be used to steam vegetables on the stove top.
Ruggedly built, the juicer steamer features gleaming stainless-steel construction with a bottom that consists of a layer of aluminum sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel for fast, even heat distribution. Side loop handles on each of the three vessels help ensure safe, secure transport, and its secure-fitting lid with a loop handle helps keep in heat, moisture, and nutrients. Instructions and a recipe book come included.
