SJR400T Smoothie Twist

WE LIKE IT. It saves on energy to boil the water, it is faster overall than water bath, and is is far less messy than water bath boilovers. The principle of canning is the same as waterbath...heat the contents to a temp that kills bacteria and seals...

AS A LONG TIME CANNER, I LOVE THE FACT THAT I CAN USE THE CANNER WITH SO LITTLE WATER! IT'S EASY TO USE AND SINCE I'M OLDER, NOT HAVING TO LIFT A HEAVY CANNER IS SO CONVENIENT. I LOVE IT.
