Canning supplies and canning, in general, can feel very overwhelming- thankfully there are tons of resources to teach you how to start canning. We’ll go into the basics, but make sure you check out all of our canning recipes to help you get started. 

 

To start canning you will need to decide what you going to be canning. Always start with fresh foods that have no mold or blemishes on them. Follow your canning recipe and canner user manual precisely. Once your jars are finished processing remove your jars to a prepared surface with layers of towels. Leave the jars alone for 24 hours until they are completely cool.

Must-Have Canning Supplies

 

Next up when it comes to canning supplies is a canner, here is where you have to decide if you want a water bath canner or a pressure canner- you can read more about what each is for in this article we did on home food preservation. We keep both a pressure canner and a water bath canner on hand because both are really handy.

Amish-Made Stovetop Water Bath Canner

 

Amish Made Stovetop Canner

This baby has been on our wish list for a while now, it allows you to add a shelf to the canner so you can double the number of jars that fit in it. This would be great if you have a lot of canning to get done.

 

Wood-Fired Water Bath Canner/Cooker

Wood-Fire Water Bath Canner

Built-in firebox under canner means virtually all the heat goes towards heating its contents. Use for canning, for butchering, to render lard, or to heat water for washing.

12-quart canner holds 4-quart jars, 7-pint jars, or 7 one-half pint jars. Heats quickly and efficiently – domed lid traps heat for faster boiling. Black ceramic-on-steel with stain and odor resistant surface.

 

Extra Canning Supplies

 

Some extra canning supplies that might be nice to have would be:

  • Old towels 
  • Hot pan holders
  • Paper towels or towels
  • Spoons
  • Saucer for holding spoons

 

Automatic Jam and Jelly Maker

This comes with 2 settings: jam and jelly. Nonstick interior pot surface and automatic stirring paddle for consistent results.

Pressure Canning Supplies

 

For low acid foods, you are going to need a pressure canner. Here are some pressure canning supply options
