Camp Chef Sportsman Series SL-30L Single Burner Low pressure Cooking System with Detachable legs and Round top, Black Review

I bought this one burner camp chef stove to add to the 2 burner I had already purchased. We use these stoves to cook breakfast before riding off on ATV's. So we are not setting around camp after having breakfast. We need to clean up the dishes, fold camp back up and put it away in the Pick-up Bed with a fiberglass cover and hit the trail. With the griddle going cooking bacon and also another skillet going we needed a place to have a coffee pot cooking. And also needed to be heating water to do dishes quickly. After the bacon is cooked we have one burner heating hash brown patties and the other doing scrambled eggs with chili at the last, so the 2 burner camp chef is busy. Eggs are coordinated to be ready when the Dutch Oven biscuits are done. Why screw this gourmet breakfast up with a flimsy throw away plastic fork. This one burner stove also works with the BBQ grill and Griddle for the Camp Chef products if needed. It fits nicely in the box it came in for storage. I trashed the carry case for the two burner Camp Chef. The hardest part of breaking up camp was putting that two burner stove back in the carrying case. The zipper broke after two uses anyway. It looks cool but life is better without the frustration of trying to put it back in the case. The One Burner Camp Chef takes the pressure off doing it all quickly on just 2 burners. These two stoves with a 5# and a 10# butane tank is cool. Lots of convenient firepower that is easy to set up and put away.

Last year (2008) our little planting of grapes finally started producing. We borrowed a steam juicer and were able to can about 42 quarts of grape juice (along with eating a bunch and selling some). The juicer was so nice that we decided to purchase our own. This Norpro Juicer Steamer has many of the features we were looking for. Stainless steel. Good capacity. We also liked this unit because of the glass lid which allows you to know how the process is going without opening it up (one thing we didn't like with the steamer we borrowed last year). I also noticed that the handles are designed to remain cooler than the other unit - another good feature of this steamer.

Columbian Home 33-Quart Jar Canner and Rack Review

Columbian Home 33-Quart Jar Canner and Rack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When we ordered this canner a few weeks ago, the picture clearly showed side handles. It also was being sold directly by Amazon.com instead of by a Marketplace vendor.
When we received the canner, we were disappointed to discover that there were no side handles...despite the picture on the label to the contrary. Apparently, Columbian Home Products/Granite Ware changed the design on this size canner to include a wide flange completely around the pot.
The wide flange would have been OK had it not had some sharp/rough edges on the underneath side. Since we were concerned that we might cut our fingers while carrying the pot full of water from the sink to the stove, we returned the pot. Amazon.com did make it easy for us to do so.
The pictures for this product on the Amazon.com website are inconsistent. Some show the side handles while some do not. Frustrating.
Note that side handles are available on the 21 quart size canner. Unfortunately, that size only holds 7 quart jars while the 33 quart size will hold 9 quart jars.

Food preserving has become a hobby and a leisure time activity.Gardeners enjoy freezing and canning the fruits of their summer labors to share with friends and family.The 33 quart size makes quick work of tomatoes or fruit, processing nine quart jars at a time.The high efficiency, quick boiling performance of the porcelain coated carbon steel combined with its modest cost make canning affordable. Porcelain enamel is the result of fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 degrees Celsius. The powder melts and flows and hardens to a durable vitreous coating on a carbon steel core. It creates a smooth, hard finish that won\'t burn and resists staining. It\'s also non -porous so it won\'t trap odors or food particles and provides a low coefficient of friction – meaning that it cleans up easily and, it is corrosion and chemically resistant so it will last a long time.When fired, the vessel is placed on pins so the bottom and sides are hardened during the firing process into one smooth laminated glass surface. You may notice slight pin indentations where the glass has flowed around the pin that supports the base during firing. The pin marks do not compromise the finish or performance of the vessel in any way but you should take additional care in handling if using on glass top stove.

Fagor Home Canning Kit Review

Fagor Home Canning Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been canning for over 30 years and have canned several thousand jars of vegetables and fruit. We fed our family primarily from the garden and orchard of our 2.5 Ac. farmette. I have used Mirro, Presto, All American and Fagor equipment. All have their pros and cons. You can use pressure cookers to can. The problem is that at 15lbs psi (at sea level) your string beans will be better for the local nursing home residents than 3 bean salad. Of course if you live in the Pyrennees (Fagor is made in Spain) or an altitude calling for 15lbs to get 240 deg. that's what you want. The 10 qt duo pressure has a fixed choice of 8lbs (not 10) or 15. 8lbs only gets you to 234.4 degrees (unless you live in Death Valley or the Dead Sea area). The bacterium which secretes the botulin toxin is killed at 240 according to the USDA. You also need the high temp to kill certain enzymes in certain foods like creamed corn which everybody with a freezer freezes today instead. But I have not had a problem with the string beans at 8 lbs. As for the tomato/onions/bell pepper/garlic/basil mix, my wife starts cooking this in the afternoon so all the bacteria is dead by the time I come home. I can it by boiling water bath (have canned over 1,000 qts.) to kill the airborne yeast in the headspace. Fagor makes quality products, even though the people writing the instructions have never canned in their life. This kit fits the 10 qt. unit. If canning is new, ask around at church or a retirement group for help. It's more fun and easier to learn that way. -Canner from Lancaster Co., PA

Camp Chef Explorer Series EX-280LW 2 Burner Modular Cooking System, Black Review

Camp Chef Explorer Series EX-280LW  2 Burner Modular Cooking System, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this a little over a year ago because I couldn't afford to spend 5K on an all grain home brewing system like a brew magic. Don't get me wrong, I would love to be able to afford one, but until I can this piece is central to my home brew set up!
I was able to mount (screw) securely a magnetic pump to one of the legs. Every other weekend I'm able to do 5 gallon all grain brew projects. One burner is for my HLT, with water conveyed via the pump to the other burner with my mash tun. The only draw back is that I do have to run into a brew kettle off the unit and then move the HLT to free up that burner for the kettle. I'm looking to eventually connect this unit to a single unit (once I find a single unit to match this units height) and then do all wort movement via a second pump (and thus eliminating the need to free up the HLT space for the kettle).
For a home brewer, this unit allows for a bit of creativity in opening the door to begin crafting a sculpture of your own (sure I read BYO, but I don't MIG weld and god save you if you decide to buy stainless steel and have it shipped to you! Ouch!) This unit has been the base for close to 120 gallons a year of beer brewing, and all for less then 300 dollars start up(pump, unit cover and LPG ). If you're on the fence trying to decide what to do and how to go about setting up a home brew sculpture, I hope you find this review!
CHEERS!

Ball Jar Collection Elite Stainless-Steel 21-Quart Waterbath Canner with Rack and Glass Lid Review

Ball Jar Collection Elite Stainless-Steel 21-Quart Waterbath Canner with Rack and Glass Lid

I stumbled upon this when searching for a "flat bottom" water bath canner for making dill pickles...it was recommended on a blog somewhere. I hesitated since I had never heard of "Jarden" brand, but then realized it was made by "Ball" of the mason jar fame.
The pot is a heavy bottom bot that sits flat on my glass cooktop. I checked the owners manual for my range and it stated I could can on top of it as long as the pot was flat and it did not extend too far over the edge of the burner. CHECK YOUR MANUAL to be certain, or call the company...not worth it to screw up the sensors on your stove, or damage the material.
The see-through glass is really handy for visual monitoring and it's well made. Stunning stainless steel takes us out of the stone age in water bath canners. I am very pleased.

Capture the sweet taste of summer for enjoyment all year long with the help of this durable and elegant canner. Measuring approximately 17-2/5 by 13 by 9-2/3 inches, the spacious unit provides a 21-quart capacity that can accommodate up to seven quart-size jars at a time for large-batch processing. In addition to preserving fresh fruits and vegetables, the pot also comes in handy for making homemade soup, hearty stews, boiling ears of corn, and more. The pot includes a corrosion-resistant chrome-plated rack, which keeps jars up off the bottom of the pot and offers a smart design that prevents small-size jars from falling through the rungs.
With a gleaming finish that will nicely compliment any kitchen decor, the canner features rugged 18/10 stainless-steel construction with a triple-layer base consisting of a thick aluminum core fused between stainless steel for fast, efficient, and evenly distributed heat (no hot spots). In addition, the unit's double-riveted, loop side handles come encased in silicone for a safe, comfortable grip when transporting, and its tempered-glass lid with steam vents allows for convenient viewing of boiling water to ensure proper processing. Designed to last for generations, the canner can be safely used on all stove tops (unlike waffle-bottom canners), and it cleans up easily by hand.

Fagor 9 Piece Pressure Canning Set Review

Fagor 9 Piece Pressure Canning Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pressure canned apple butter, in pints and half pints, using the Duo 10-quart pressure cooker/canner and very satisfied with its performance. The spring-style pressure mechanism is very quiet compared to the rocker style, and the psychological effect is less like a rocket launch and more like using ordinary cookware. The solid-bottomed 18/10 stainless steel has a beautiful, mirror-like finish and is compatible with induction range tops (Fagor manufactures induction ranges). The pressure slide did hang up one time, and the cooker wouldn't pressurize, but with persistence the slide goes in with a little wiggling. The 10-quart Duo holds four pint or five half-pint jars on the slightly undersized canning rack - a reasonable load for the home canner. The stainless steel ladle and funnel look great and are almost as solid as the cooker. The stainless steel funnel can be submersed in boiling water, and although that's not really necessary with pressure canning, why not kill bacteria when you can? The magnetic lid lifter is a great tool if you are boiling the lids, also not necessary except for water bath canning, but if you're rinsing the funnel in boiling water, why not throw in the lids for good measure? Haven't used the jar wrench because you only tighten lids finger tight when pressure canning. The bubble freer is a useful tool and the jar lifter is a must -- it's great to get all the tools as a set. As a pressure cooker, the Fagor Duo 10-quart can handle anything you can throw into it. Brown a pot roast, throw in two cans of mushroom soup, a packet of onion soup, a cup of water, pressurize and an hour later you have a pot roast with fabulous sauce. Vegetables should go in later or above the roast in the optional steamer insert to avoid turning them into mush. The manual is well written and the DVD features a couple of professional chefs who do a terrific job of showing how easy it is to pressure cook various dishes, including grains and cheesecake. The video hosts are charming and natural, and the DVD gets five stars for taking the fear and mystery out of pressure cooking.

Max Burton 6200 Deluxe 1800-Watt Induction Cooktop Review

Max Burton 6200 Deluxe 1800-Watt Induction Cooktop
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)

... for your learning dollars, that is.
Had this for a month; free-shipped, it arrived intact and within a very reasonable time. Manual is brief and to the point.
Works fabulously with simple time-proven cast iron cookware, but don't expect omelets to come off whole easily - might do with enameled cast iron which I do not have. It is great to have minimal heat dumped into the house when you are paying for your air conditioning and it is 90°+ outside. That it worked just fine with some of my older - cheaper stainless steel pots that didn't pass the magnet test was a pleasant surprise. I plan to move it to the back porch before I try my heavy-flavored grill-pan fried fish!
Took away the 5th star since (a) heat is so localized over the center that it charred stir-fry veggies and burnt the thin-gauge pan when I got a bit over zealous with the power settings and (b) the temperature preset increments are too far apart for my liking. It shouldn't be a big deal to have more numbers of and more uniformly spaced steps since the controls are all electronic. I would use cast iron cookware exclusively unless heating a liquid, -the thickness helps distribute heat more quickly and evenly- but you will want to be extra careful of the delicate-looking ceramic cooktop surface.
All in all, a great inexpensive tool to learn induction cooking and what to look for before you plonk your money down for that big-bucks 4 or 5 element full size induction cooktop kitchen upgrade. I am happy with the purchase.

Sleek and energy efficient, this high-quality cooktop brings the comfort and health benefits of home-cooked foods to the office, dorm room, catered affair, or anywhere in need of a portable heat source. Unlike standard electric elements, it supplies an induction heating element, which delivers the same precise control over the heat as with a gas burner, but without the danger of an open flame. The single burner provides 10 power levels from 500 to 1800 watts and 10 temperature settings that range from 140 to 450 degrees F--perfect for everything from gently soft-boiled eggs to hearty soups, stews, and more. Its user-friendly push-button control panel features an easy-to-read digital display and a 180-minute timer with auto shut-off that aids in properly cooking all dishes, reducing the risks of overcooking, burning, and waste. The cooktop delivers instant heat to induction-compatible cookware; it can also accommodate non-induction cookware with the use of an induction interface disk (model 6010; sold separately). For added safety and convenience, the appliance comes with an in-line fuse, overheat sensor, an unsuitable-cookware detector, and a smooth design that wipes clean easily. Attractively housed in durable stainless steel, the induction cooktop measures 13-2/7 by 12-1/2 by 2-3/5 inches.

I have made several different kinds of juice with whatever kind of fruit was ripe in the garden. I love it so much I even got fruit out of the freezer that I wanted to process but never had the time to last year. I can't wait for the grapes to be ready.
Very easy to use and the juice comes out clear and without any effort. Just fill the bottom pot with water, add the fruit to the basket, turn it on and wait an hour. Cleanup is easy as the pulp cleans up easily and each piece of the system is manageable in size and with nicly rounded corners.
I have used elderberry in the steam juicer and the tube did not stain, even though elderberry seems to stain anything it comes in contact with.
I dilute the juice concentrate with water for our breakfast juice and I know it will pay for itself in a short time.
This is a wonderful way to make healthy juice without the effort and trouble of conventional juice exctraction.

Mirro 22-Quart Polished Aluminum Pressure Cooker/Canner Review

Mirro 22-Quart Polished Aluminum Pressure Cooker/Canner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I know about canners. I can A LOT, and run two canners at one time. It is really getting hard to find a canner like this with a "jiggler" on top rather than a pressure gauge. I cannot stress enough that a weight system like this is just SO MUCH BETTER than a gauge if you are doing any volume of canning. If you are canning meats, you need to monitor your canner for 90 minutes, and if you have to babysit a gauge, you will get sick of it really fast. With a jiggler like this canner has, you can just listen, and know the pressure is correct. As long as the weight on top is just gently jiggling, everything is a.o.k. and you can read, or go the the restroom, or whatever you need to do. Plus, as years go by, I find it really hard to trust a gauge. You know the weight on this one will stay constant. I have one of this model of canner, and I'm buying another one today, to replace a perfectly good machine with a gauge.

The Mirro 22-quart pressure cooker can certainly be used for cooking extra-large batches of stews, soups and chili, but thanks to its extra-large capacity it really shines as a pressure canner. It can hold up to 16 pint jars, 14 wide mouth pint jars, 30 half pint jars, or 5 quart jars. Made of rust-proof, heavy-gauge aluminum, the cooker has a stay-cool, locking handle, and it features three knobs that hold the internal pressure at one of three options--5, 10, and 15 PSI. Mirro pressure cookers are designed with safety in mind, and its Triple Safe Design includes a safety release plug, sure-locking lid system, and side gasket pressure release.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been canning for 20 years, I have had this canner system for 15 and I will not ever go back to boiling water bath canning ever again. This canner is not meant to replace a pressure canner for low acid foods. It is a shallow pan with a rack and a large lid. The shallow pan is filled with water and boiled, the rack fits over the boiling water and the jars are put on the rack (7 quarts at a time). When the water boils, it creates steam- steam is at least 212 degree water- steam can actually get hotter than boiling water. When the steam is at a certain level (in the instructions) you begin timing your jars. The reason that this is so easy is that it doesn't take 20 minutes after you put your jars into the rack just to come back to a boil, thus saving a lot of time. I highly recommend this product. I just made salsa and it took me 30 minutes for 14 jars- In a traditional pot it would have taken at least 2 hours. That is the difference!

Made of durable rust-resistant aluminum, the canner provides a beautiful, gleaming addition to any kitchen collection, plus ensure years of long-lasting high-quality performance. Both the pan and dome sport cool-touch side handles for safe, secure handling and transport, and they clean up easily by hand with hot, soapy water. A user manual and recipes come included.

I have not used this cooker with a fish cooker sized-pot yet. It performs well in heating a 1.5 quart cast iron french fry cooker and for wok seasoning and wok cooking; having cooked fries, seasoned one wok, used for Asian meals numerous times. Obvious cons are the inefficiency when cooking in small pots (lowering heat causes loss of efficient blue flame and inefficient yellow flame existence), and the venturi produces a constant jet-like sound louder than an idle V8 engine. I have not yet installed a fuel monitoring device on the supply line to estimate the operating cost. Stainless steel hose is wonderful, ignore the finish burned off during operation, ignore the jet-sound, and enjoy cooking. 170,000+ BTU's rocks for Asian cooking.

All-American 25-Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a top quality product built for serious home canning. The quality is apparent at a glance. It's an intimidating machine at first, but it's actually simple, safe and robust if you follow instructions. READ THE SAFETY RULES on the first page of the manual and follow them to the letter!The instruction booklet is comprehensive and easy to follow. This is an adult piece of equipment...made for responsible adults. If you don't follow the safety rules, you will damage or destroy your pressure cooker, and you may get hurt doing it.
The only part of this machine that requires regular replacement is the safety plug. The manufacturer recommends replacing the plug every year or two before you start the season's canning. Also, the seal must be lubricated after every few runs with petroleum jelly. Other than that, you shouldn't need to buy any gaskets or parts to keep it running forever.
This model can handle 19 pint jars or 7 quart jars or 4+ gallons of food for your next cookout and it's built to last a lifetime. If you are going to do any serious canning, don't waste your money on an inferior tool. This is a great choice.

The high heat generated by a pressure cooker can kill more bacteria than a regular hot water bath, making this pressure cooker the ideal tool for canning vegetables and non-acid fruit. All-American's 25-quart pressure cooker/canner holds up to 19 pint jars or seven quart jars. Only All-American pressure cookers/canners feature an exclusive, precision-machined "metal-to-metal" sealing system. Clamping locks align the cover to the base, forming a steam-tight seal. This means no gaskets to crack, burn, replace, and clean. At the same time, the metal-to-metal seal permits venting under unusual pressure conditions, making the seal safer than conventional rubber or composition gasket cookers.

If you're thinking about stepping up to all-grain brewing or doing 10 gallon batches, this is the pot for you. Very heavy duty. One thing to keep in mind is that this pot might be a bit wider than you're used to, so you may find that your immersion wort chiller doesn't submerge as far in a typical 5 gallon batch as you're used to. This might reduce some of your cooling efficiency, but it only took me about 5 more minutes to get down to my pitching temp.

We needed a pressure cooker that would work on our glass top stove. Not many of them do so we were very happy when we found this one...It's a GREAT pressure cooker and we love it! :)

Pressure canning, the only method recommended safe by the USDA for canning low-acid foods, allows you to preserve meats, vegetables, and fruits. Presto pressure canners feature an easy-to-read dial gauge for accurate pressure control and extra strong, warp-resistant aluminum construction. The air vent/cover lock allows pressure to build only when the cover is closed properly and prevents the cover from opening until pressure is safely reduced. Includes cooking/canning rack and complete instruction/recipe book. 22-quart liquid capacity (20.9 liters).
