Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Back to Basics Jar Lifter

Customer Review: Canning jar lifter
Summary: 5 Stars

This item is perfect for lifting canning jars out of hot water pot when canning. Saves on burned fingers. The price was just right.
Highly recommended for anyone using a water bath canner for tomatoes, etc.
Item was delivered on time.

Customer Review: Canning supplies
Summary: 5 Stars

Could not find any canning supplies at any local stores. Went on line and found what I was looking for. Got the items in no time.

Customer Review: Does the job
Summary: 5 Stars

I couldn't find these anywhere in the stores in summer 2008, so I ordered the lid lifter and jar lifter here and both work great. Makes life much easier when canning--no more unsteady tongs or using my silicone oven mitt to plunge my hand into boiling water.

Customer Review: Does what it should
Summary: 4 Stars

I looked for ages in my city (Tucson, AZ - not a small town!) trying to find one of these. I guess I live in a place where people just don't can anymore because it was nearly impossible to find one. Amazon to the rescue! This jar lifter does what it says - it lifts jars out of boiling water baths and keeps you from getting burned. The hand grips are nice, the section that wraps around the jar are nice and soft to prevent breaking the jars when you lift them, and the tongs are long enough to keep your hands sufficiently far from the water. My only problem with this product is I have short fingers and it's hard to grab the jars with one hand since the tongs have to open so far to fit around the jars. I just use my other hand and it isn't really a problem. Besides, this is something that is common to all jar lifters as opposed to just this one. If you're into canning and need supplies, this jar lifter will do the trick. It's not fancy and it's not expensive, but it does the job.
