Great set. October 15, 2008
We have used this several times since we recieved it a couple weeks ago. The one piece I have been a little disappointed with is the lid magnet. It did not pick up the lids very well, (it is a little dangerous to fingers to have lids drop and splash boiling water) I finally just gave up and used the tongs to get the lids out. That being said the other products have worked well.

Good product for price October 7, 2008
I didn't need to use a couple of the items, but if I was brand new to canning, this grouping would have been a godsend.

Very pleased with the kit! So far I have made peach preserves and apple butter. Just in time for the Holidays! The magnetic pick up lid stick is a nice tool as well! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Yes I Can... October 1, 2008
The Back to Basics 5-Piece Home-Canning Kit provides the essentials necessary for home canning. The tongs are useful and the jar opener is a nice addition.The main three components, the funnel, jar lifter and magnet, are decent quality and held up well enough to this year's canning processes. Since I was unable to locate the individual components at our local retailers, I found this set a good buy, even if it only held up for one season.

Others mentioned that the rubber coating peeled off the metal on the jar lifter and I didn't find that to be the case. I did notice a slight notching on the rubber coating after lifting six or seven jars but that disappeared once the lifter cooled.

If Ball's home canning kit is not available, this definitely serves the purpose well.

If you are new to canning this is a very handy kit to own. It makes the prep work and final work much easier and safer.
