"There are so many different kinds out there, but the choice boils down to two: plain boring circular ones that would do the job and probably will save space in the fridge... or these totally awesome super colorful leaves with dangly silicone butterfly tops that are going to bring a smile on your face every time you open your fridge and see a butterfly conservatory right in your home :) I couldn't be happier with those."
"I put one on my water glass in the bathroom to keep all those airborne germs off the rim and out of the water, and the others are on the glasses of water I keep all over the house to keep the bugs, dust, and dogs away from my clean filtered water."
"Final note: Initially, I thought the butterflies on top were rather flimsy and might get torn off accidentally but this has not happened at all - very sturdy!"
"Perfect size for even my larger mugs, beautifully colored leaf shape and lovely butterfly on each lid that I can hold onto while opening the lid."
"If the butterfly is removed, the lid is still easy to handle because of the "leaf tip" part."
"Didn't want to go through another Summer season having to check my coffee, lemonade, etc."
"I'm not interested in keeping my drinks warm so I haven't tested that feature out, nor will I. I only wanted this to keep the dust out of my drink, so it works well for this purpose."
"I now have a warmer for my coffee but these worked great to keep my coffee warm when I used them."

Presto 01781 23-Quart Pressure Canner and Cooker
The USDA recommends pressure canning as the only safe method for low-acid foods such as vegetables, meats, and poultry. An accompanying rack fits down into the pot to keep jars up off the bottom, so that liquid can circulate underneath. An accompanying booklet contains more than 50 recipes, ranging from basic soup stocks to stews and pot roasts--even sweets like English Plum Pudding or Brown Bread! Tenderize lean cuts of beef or pork, or cook chicken, fish, or vegetables faster than you can in a microwave, and without losing moisture. Nonabrasive cleansers are best for cleaning this aluminum pressure cooker, though occasional use of a fine metal polish will help the exterior keep its shine. A detailed instruction and recipe booklet is included; special safety issues that pertain to pressure cookers are clearly explained. Deluxe pressure dial gauge registers the complete range of processing pressures; This precise measurement is especially important at higher altitudes.
Reviews
"(from applesauce to grape juice to green beans to venison). My sister got the All American Canner and we canned side by side a lot so we could compare the two. She can make applesauce in hers w/o burning the bottom (I burned mine), but I can use the Presto one on my glass top oven which she can't do with her All American because of how heavy it is. The All American is a weighted gauge canner, while this Presto one is a dial gauge canner."
"When we move to a lower elevation I will invest in a 5-10-15lb weight because I prefer the jiggler to the pressure gauge. They both work perfectly and I have since purchased the 6 quart pressure cooker and absolutely love it for cooking. I used the 16 quart canner to reheat a rotisserie chicken and it turned out amazing and did it faster and better than the microwave and more moist than the oven. To sum up the capacity: The 23 Qt will hot water bath 7 quarts or 10 pints (stacking is not recommended for water bathing) and. pressure can 7 quarts or 20 pints(double staked). the 16 Qt will hot water bath 10 pints (water bathing quarts is not recommended) and. pressure can 7 quarts or 10 pints. The 6 Qt is not recommended for canning, but makes dinners or sides very quick and easy."
"This pressure canner works very well and I now feel confident in pressure canning even more foods for my family!"
"Gasket seems well made, good solid bottom and top. Gaskets for pressure gauge, over pressure relief valve and main lid gaskets look like main areas of maintenance."
"Good product, Instructions are simple to follow, no tools needed, fast shipping, only issue the handles are short so allow it to cool to avoid steam burn or add some long pot holder gloves to your cart."

Reviews
"The jars wobble a bit and the bottom circles of the rack are just a little too far apart to hold them very steady if you don't have them placed perfectly."
"I was a total newbie and this rack really made it easy to deal with the jars in the hot water."
"Even for one level, the racks are not effective for narrow jars (the 12 oz jam jars will have a tendancy to tip over), and the way the rack is constructed does not allow for a lot of various sized jars to sit properly."
"Nice to have when you just have a few pints or quarts to can in a narrow tall pot, and don't want to heat all that water in a huge water bath canner."
"I use it in the bottom of a stock pot for canning and my husband uses it for steaming crabs."
"The rack sits higher in my water bath canner than the original rack did so it puts jars closer to the lid, therefore the tall jelly jars are barely covered with water and it boils water out all over the stove."
"Pint-sized jars will tip because the rack underneath is too wide between wires to hold the bottom of the jar in place, and because the loops aren't high enough to hold the sides of the jars securely. My jars stay in place better if they're just sitting on the flat metal rack that came with the canner."
"I have been canning for a year now and this rack is going in the recycling bin."

Reviews
"It takes just a bit less than 3 quarts of water to fill it to the correct level - SOOOO much less than a water bath canner! The canner I got has a nice flat, sturdy metal "stand" that goes in the bottom of the canner to hold the jars above the bottom of the canner. I was done processing and had the jars cooling and the canner put away in the time that a water bath canner would have taken to come to a boil to START the processing!! And it was so nice to grab the jars from that low base rather than from the basket at the top of a water bath canner."
"The steam method of canning was just approved by the state extension office, so it is now an accepted alternative method of preserving high acid foods."
"For small batches, I just use a good size stockpot, but for bigger batches in peak season, I will use the sanitize cycle on the dishwasher or use my old granite blue canner just for sterilizing."
"It significantly cuts down on time in the kitchen, as the water heats up very quickly."
"Wrap the lid down with some bungee cords until you actually hear a whistling sound."
"It cut hours off my normal process times for three dozen quarts of tomatoes."
"So heavy and forever to bring to a boil, my kitchen doesn't get real hit😍 I have MS and I candor this by myself, even emptying the canner of water."
"This new canner is so easy and with the altitude dial makes it really easy and quicker."
