Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Back to Basics 286 5-Piece Home Canning Kit

Customer Review: A must-have for all canning needs!
Summary: 4 Stars

What a great kit for the money! No more burnt fingers. The funnel is just the right size. I was a little concerned that it might melt because it's made of plastic, but it has held up just fine. If there is one thing I would improve, it would be the size of the magnet. I think it should be a little bigger -- sometimes it just doesn't quite grab the lids. But it's still better than nothing. You just need to be patient.

Customer Review: Adequate for my needs
Summary: 4 Stars

Items seem to be of adequate quality. Made in Taiwan. Like some have said before, the magnet on the lid lifter could be stronger. After I made my purchase through Amazon I did see a canning set of tools at Walmart consisting of, lid lifter, funnel, jar lifter, and Bubble Remover & Headspace Tool for $6.95. Looks like it was a very good deal. Those interested in a canning tool kit might want to shop around.

Customer Review: Handy tools to use for canning----
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a nice bunch of handy tools to use for canning. The only one I don't like is the magnet on a stick. (You use it to pick up lids and rings out of hot water). The magnet isn't really strong enough to sucessfully hold onto a lid or ring long enough to get it out of the water. I ended up using my husband's telescoping magnet out of his tool box! All the other tools are great and very useful.

Customer Review: Great set.
Summary: 4 Stars

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.

Customer Review: great..poor amazon customer support
Summary: 4 Stars

Love the item was shipped quickly. Very poor customer service recieved had an operator over the phone put my order thru with a gift card. After being on the phone for an hour he said everything went thru........WRONG. He charged my card for the items still, waiting for the refund!!
