Just yum on the chick peas, btw! I can lots of dried beans too, its just so much easier at the end of a busy day to just open a can of beans than try to remember at the start of a busy day to soak them...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11419676.post-81342700275417724182008-06-18T08:46:00.000-05:002008-06-18T08:46:00.000-05:00I know people who are asked say there is no "best"...I know people who are asked say there is no "best" canner, but I could really use some help here. There are so many canners, sizes, manufacturers, that it boggles my mind.<BR/><BR/>What kind of canner(s) do you use and which features would you be sure to look for if you were starting from scratch? <BR/><BR/>I have read some of he product descriptions and can't even figure out if the pressure regulator is the rocker type or not.

I try to be very careful with anything that has pressure on it, even more so when there's boiling hot water involved. Good point you make and I hope many folks read and take note of the need to test you equipment.<BR/><BR/>I too have some sheds that are multi pourpose, the mowers spend a little time in the wood shed during the summer and sometimes a little extra hay finds it's way in there too. Show me a dry empty place and I got something put in there for sure. <BR/>Thanks for the post and take care.<BR/><BR/>ChrisThe Scavengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14285656622244814026noreply@blogger.com
