Safe-use reminder
Equipment does not make an untested recipe safe. Use a current authoritative home-canning process that specifies the food, preparation, jar size, canner type, time or pressure, and altitude adjustment. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s current instructions.
Before you buy
- Confirm compatibility with your jars, lids, cooktop, and tested process.
