How many of you use a steam canner for fruits, tomatoes and pickles. I did not know they existed until a few years ago. I always used a water bath canner. The steam canner is so much easier and fun to use. No boiling up a huge canner full of water. Am I just stupid or have some of you used them for years?

I have used a steam canner for twenty plus years. I use it for anything that will water bath, like tomatoes, peaches, pears, jams, etc. I love it!

My steam canner is a Victorio. I think you would love using one. So easy.

I have been in the market for one for awhile. I would love to know what model you all like and would recommend. So far, I have only done bath canning, but have wanted to move on to more canning with a steam canner.
Farmgirls have the best advice!

I first saw steam canners for sale in my Jung's seed catalog a few years back, so I ordered one. I love it. You only need two quarts of water to use it. It has a temperature indicator in the lid and you heat it up to the temperature correct for your altitude. Then you just process your jars the same time as in a water bath canner. I love not having to fool with the boiling water. It cannot be used for vegetables though. It sure has made canning a lot more pleasant for me. They are readily available on the internet.

Barbara you are not stupid. I never heard of a steam canner until now. I am very interested in hearing more.

I have a steam canner I've had for 15 years. I haven't use it since I bought a electric water bath canner. I like the steam canner for like you said pickles, jams, and jellies. I may use mine if I decide to make any preserves this year. Steam canners are perfect for 4 and 8 oz jars.
