What Equipment Is Needed for Canning?

In addition to your ingredients, you absolutely need:

  • Kerr or Ball jars in the appropriate size for your recipe (thin-walled jars, like mayonnaise jars, won't do, they may break!)
  • NEW lids with sealing rings (never reuse these)
  • Screw bands (can be reused)
  • A large pot to cook your ingredients
  • A very large pot to seal your jars (unless using the inversion method for jams and jellies)
  • A shallow pan to scald your lids
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Tongs, or jar lifter, or some way of handling scalding hot jars (I LOVE my jar lifter!)
I Love my jar lifter!

  10. I'm impressed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that's both equally
    educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on
    the head. The problem is an issue that too few people are speaking intelligently about.
    I am very happy I stumbled across this in my search for something concerning this.
