I don't typically bother to review items, but I was so pleased with this purchase that I wanted to share. I am admittedly a beginner at making jams so I don't have much experience to go by, but these items made the process so easy! The value for the price is great! I was very happy to have the wide mouth funnel when spooning out 16 jars of strawberry jam and the tightener thingy, (is that the technical term?) worked well with the hot jars. I even had no trouble with the magnetic lid lifter and found it to be very useful as I didn't even need to touch the lids before placing them on top of the jars; thus reducing the chance of contamination. I am very happy I didn't go crazy and buy an expensive canning set as these items worked absolutely fine for me!

I was new to canning so bought this set. I think that if I were starting again, I would just buy a steel funnel and a lifter.

I am very satisfied with this purchase. It has made canning easier for me. Glad I purchased it.

The Fox Run 5 peice canning set has made canning easier! No more hot water splashes when pulling jars out of the canner. No more burnt fingers when tightening the rings. GREAT product!

These utensils are a godsend. Especially the one for lifting hot jars out of the water.

I am glad with those canning tools, I found Good Price and great quality... thanks

This is my fourth year of canning, and this inexpensive canning set is perfect to get you started. I use them every time I can. The magenet stick is great for getting those flat lids of the bottom of a boiling water pan when you are steralzing.

This set does include important pieces in used while canning. However, the set seems really cheaply made. I don't think most of the pieces will last very long. The tongs are short and the metal seems flimsy. The plastic on the jar opener doesn't fit well over the metal. The wide-mouth funnel is just lightweight plastic that seems like it could warp with enough heat.

All the items were as expected. They did not look as nice as some others that were advertised, but they did the job. I am new to the canning and pressure cooking world so I wish that I would have purchased a set that had included the Ball Canning Guide as many people have since told me that is the "Bible" for canning food. Nevertheless, I have used the Fox Run Canning Set twice and have found each tool quite useful.

A neat set of all essential (and some inessential!) items. The main draw is that the whole set costs less than buying the items individually and Amazon's price is unbeatable (I looked in several places!). The plastics are sturdy and solid, not flimsy, and stand up well to repeated use and dish-washer cleaning.
