[Sca-cooks] OT: Quick question about canning

[jenne at fiedlerfamily.net]

> I was wondering if I actually need to go out and buy a canner, or if I can just use one of the pots I already have? I know that the rack would make it easier to remove the jars, but I also dont have much disposable cash at the moment, and if I can just use what I have that would be great.

You probably don't need a canner. But get some canning jars-- make sure to
check the lips of the jars and the screw-on parts to make sure there are
no chips or cracks-- and make sure you get NEW inner lids. You can reuse
the screw-on parts of the lids, but you can't re-use the parts with the
seal.
