Blake's rating: Excellent replacement rack (sooner or later your rack will fall apart from the boiling water (and no, this one is not made of silicone...) Note: for very small jars, I put empty jars in around the full jars to keep them from tipping over. Tipping over is  very common with all racks.

 

canning rack - makes any large pot a water bath canner

Canning Rack System

This multi-use canning rack system turns any pot into a canning pot and facilitates many culinary tasks like blanching and sterilizing. Used with a large saucepan or stock pot, the racks lift and hold mason jars for easy insertion and removal of jars. The racks elevate the jars off the bottom of pot to prevent glass breakage. These racks have multiple wires to hold all jar sizes, including small jars which won't tip and fall through the rack when lifted. Also great for blanching, steaming, or boiling corn or lobster.
Includes two stainless steel racks (a small one for 9½ - 10½" diameter pots and a large one for 11 - 12" diameter pots), a set of adjustable stainless steel lifters, instructions and tips.

Corn Cutters / Corn Strippers


Corn cutters - Simple and inexpensive devices to help you remove corn kernels from the cob.  Much faster and safer than using a knife, you can make niblets or creamed corn with these.  I'd never be able to freeze 500 ears worth of corn per year without these  - Blake
