Granite Ware 12 Piece Enamelware Water bath Canning Pot (Speckled Black) with Canning Toolset, Colander, Blancher and Rack. Canning Supplies Starter Kit, Canning Supplies. Canning Kit.

Purchased this to can peaches. Wasn't sure I would need the whole set, which includes a pair of tongs to pull the jars in and out of the hot water, a magnet to pull the lids out of hot water, a spatula to run around the outside of the jars after they are filled with the jam to get rid of any bubbles, a rack that holds the jars off the bottom of the pot and can be used to lift the jars in and out of the water bath, and a jar wrench which shouldn't be used to tighten the lids. Out of all the utensils that came with the pot, the wrench was the only thing I felt I didn't need. Worked perfectly at a reasonable price.

for someone who wants to learn to can, this water bath canning set is a great place to start. All you need to add is a beginners book on canning and basic supplies to can with, IE: jars lids rings and product to can. It is a good price for a starter set and comes with things you wouldn't think about if you were buying separate. Just remember to wash EVERYTHING before first time use. Well worth the investment.
