Review by J. Ollman for Combo Steam & Wath Bath Canner
Rating:
I have been involved with canning for nearly 50 years. I’ve used a lot of water bath and pressure canners. This was my first experience with a steam canner, although steam canning had been recommended to me several years ago. My friend told me she used to have a stainless steel steam canner but now all she can find is aluminum, so when I saw this I said, “OK, let’s give it a try.” I know the Victorio name from their juicer, and it’s a quality company. True to my expectations, this canner lives up to the Victorio name. It is heavy-duty 18/8 gauge stainless steel, has excellent instructions for both steam and water-bath canning. It’s easy to use, easy to clean, and extremely durable. The gauge on top is accurate, folks, and takes the guesswork out of when to start the timing. Eight jars at once (while steam canning) is marvelous! I’ve done several loads of peaches today in this pot and I won’t go back to water bath for anything! This is a beautiful, economical, multi-use canning pot and I’m going to love owning and using it year after year. My only regret is that I didn’t have it years ago when I was doing much more canning for my family! It’s more expensive than the aluminum Back to Basics brand canner, but I’m glad I spent the extra because I know I’ll love this dual-pot a lot more than just the single-function Back to Basics. Back to Basics cookware is good (I own some), but in this case, the Victorio wins the prize.
