Canning
This is the exact canner we use at our house. In fact, we use two of them, and plan to purchase a third one before next “Canuary.” We cannot recommend this highly enough, and you can often catch it on sale…
I know there are ways to reuse old lids, but you will always need more lids…and getting caught without extras is never good. We keep these stocked.
This has to be the simplest vacuum sealers for jars on the market. This one device does both regular and wide mouth jars. We use it almost daily. We dehydrate a lot of things, and store them in our jars, and with our little friend here, keeping our ingredients fresh has never been easier or faster. We have the red one.
Every homestead kitchen must-have! We love water bathing because it reminds us of how our Grandmothers did it…Kinda. It’s hard to reminisce too far into the past working in our air conditioned kitchen. The struggle is real yo!
Cooking
If you want to cook, or learn to cook, and you want the food to taste and look good, nothing beats durable cast iron cookware. It can literally last you a lifetime if it is reasonably cared for.
Real homesteaders bake. And they use high quality bakeware to do it. Wilton makes the best bakeware we have ever used here at our house, and we have tried them all!
This is a really nice set of wooden spoons. These are safe for non-stick cooking surfaces as well as cast iron.
