OK, so I think I may be getting a canner - but I need help. So I'm calling on all you experts out there. Please?
First and foremost - I have a glass top stove (oh, how I wish I had my old 5 burner gas stove again
- but getting gas to this house would be a major undertaking) so I think that probably I should be looking at a Presto. Do you agree? And how do like yours, if you have one?
Second - we are a small family - just us two - so can you give me information on what size canner you have, and how much you can process in one batch?
Third (or maybe just an extention of #2) - this would probably be mostly for stocks and soups, and maybe meat and fish (if I can find a good deal); I don't particularly like canned veggies, and DH only likes canned peas - and I don't think I could ever have enough of those to want to can any
. So probably I wouldn't ever be wanting to do huge amounts at a time.
I brought this up this evening with DH, and he just nodded when I said it might be a good idea, and would save freezer space; he did not imply that I was crazy - which is sort of odd (because I think that I might be
).
