Tools We Use to Can Pears

Steam Canner, Tool 1

This steam canner has many advantages over the old water bath canners. It eliminates the heavy lifting of a canner full of water. It saves water usage, especially valuable for us with a well. It uses only 3 pints of water to steam the quarts or pints. It has the capacity to steam 7 quarts at a time. It doesn't boil over as water bath canners can. It cuts the preheating time by 50% because you heat less water. Because of this it keeps the kitchen cooler which helps in the hot summer when canning takes place. Whether you use a steam canner or water bath you must have a wire grate on the bottom.
