 It was cheap and I got what I paid forSep 19, 2009
By Kristofer Iverson

Magnet is weak and the product is cheap. I can barely get a hot lid out of the water bath. 1/2 the time the lid falls back into the pan. I was expecting a magnet that could lift the lid from the center and instead the lid dangles from an edge. I could probably make something better myself from arts & craft supplies. Maybe that's what they mean by 'Back to Basics'...

 Good itemOct 07, 2008
By Sunshine
but magnet could be stronger. If you are just lifting the lids as is it works great but I heat mine in a water bath as is recommended and then they don't grip/hold onto the lids as well. I felt like this was a great idea, just needed a stronger magnet to warrant 5 stars.

 Canning? You need this!Aug 30, 2008

Jar lids in scalding hot water are an essential part of canning. This is the safe way to fish them out as needed. Handy gadget, great price. When canning season is over, I use it to find my quilt needle when it falls on the floor.

this is a great concept but the magnet is too weak to lift the lid out of the water, a fork works much better. I wasted the money I spent on this product!

 Wish I would have read the reviewsAug 24, 2009
By Michael Long
The idea is great, but like everyone else, the Magnet needs to be stronger, I do a better job with tongs, when boiling the lids.....
