I read up on the internet about what process was involved, what I needed, recipe basics, etc. I settled on this as a basic starter kit. Had everything I still needed, very inexpensive. I felt if canning turned out to be a waste of time, at least I wasn't going to be wasting a lot of money.
As it turns out, this kit wasn't a cheapo little kit. All of the accessories worked very well, were sturdy. I managed to make 54 pint sized jars of fig preserves before I quit with half the fruit still on the bush (yes, bush -- it's still a baby.) Everything held up very well. Will look for this brand when I expand my canning to include the inserts for the pots.
Magnetic lid lifter: This thing consists of just two pieces glued together: a short plastic handle and a magnet. The handle functions surprisingly well in terms of keeping your fingers sufficiently far enough away from the hot water to prevent scalding. The magnet, however, is painfully weak, and trying to fish a lid out of the water with it is a bit tedious.
Jar lifter: It's just two bits of bent, heavy metal hinged so you can grasp and pick up hot jars filled with food goodness. In that regard, they work very well. That being said, the handles are made from low-quality black plastic, and aren't meant for heavy use. The functional, jar-grabbing ends are dipped in rubber to improve the grip around the neck of the jars. Unfortunately, said rubber apparently isn't meant for use in hot water, and started disintegrating upon the first use. They're not melting; they're cracking and flaking apart, leaving slivers of red rubber floating in the water bath. Of all the tools in this kit, the jar lifter is the only one that we've replaced.
Canning funnel: It works well, and I have no complaints.
Kitchen tongs: What can I say? They're tongs. They function well for tasks that require tongs. Unfortunately, my wife and I have yet to actually need tongs for anything canning-related, and we already have better quality tongs for tong-tasks. So these are just taking up space in a drawer.
Jar wrench: I suppose it works well. I wouldn't really know, though, since we've never needed them. Jar lid rings don't require excessive torque to go on, and we're not going to pull out a special tool just to get them off again, either. So the jar wrench is keeping the tongs company in the drawer.
She loves it. The large diameter funnel is a lot cleaner than her old one. The jar lifter is a great finger tip saver. The rim tightener is good since it gives her leverage to tightly close the jars and it's safer.
The lid lifting magnet saves her time but I don't know how the bubble breaker works for her.
Great value for a newbie to canning and not having to invest in alot of fancy stuff. This is perfect.
I cant wait to can more applie pie filling, apple sauce, and jams from fruits that I have frozen from this Summer.
