 pleasureJun 06, 2009
By C. Delaney
"Morgaine"
After too many times of having my hot lids stick to each other and have to handled, struggled with, or just give up until later, I bought this gadget. There are some things we don't need when canning. We can live without the funnel. We can probably live without the lifter tool. I'm not sure I want to live without this item. You can slide your rings down the handle while you are getting organized. you can even put the whole thing, with rings, down into your hot water. You pick up the lids by the edges, never have to touch the inside of the lid. A great and useful tool.

love it, love itJul 05, 2009
By just me
Have been making jelly for 40 years. Used to use one of those magnetic sticks to get the lids out of the hot water. Bought this exact model a couple of years ago. Love it. Will never go back. Don't have to stand over the steaming pot to locate the lids, and the wooden handle never gets hot.

Nice little luxuryNov 15, 2009
By Steven Rehrauer
Let's face it, we can sterilize our canning lids without this. But using tongs is slow, and can be a pain when you have a dozen lids to pick up. This sturdy, well-made little device makes sterilizing lids quicker and frustration-free, at a very fair price. Highly recommended.

Ingenious Gadget -- Rack Saves Time While CanningAug 11, 2010
By M. Hill
I have plenty of useless gadgets and hesitate before adding to my collection. That said, for a canner, this gadget is helpful and well worth the space it takes to store it. I have always struggled to retrieve the canning lids from the pot of simmering water but no more. The wooden handle remains cool so lifting it in and out of the water is safe and easy -- and the lids are now perfectly accessible.
Please note that the hang tag attached to the rack states the lids should be kept in boiling water. This is incorrect. According to the makers of the two piece canning lids, they should never be boiled before being placed on the jar to begin processing. Their instructions are to bring the water to a 180 degree simmer and to maintain that temperature. A candy thermometer works great to track the temperature.
I see no discoloring of the rack after a marathon pickle canning session. The rack was submerged in 180 degree water from 9 AM to 10 PM and it suffered no damage and worked as efficiently as I'd hoped. If in the future I experience any problems, I will update the review.
This rack would make a terrific gift for any person who cans.
Update 11/18/2011
After a full year of use the rack still looks great -- no discoloration or hard water residue. I don't know how I got along without this handy tool.

 I thought I wanted this one?Aug 23, 2011
By Lincoln County MT
"Focused on pinecones"
I love my magnet stick better in comparison. Also we have hard water and it seems to coat this metal rack a bit too much. We've often mentioned how we'd like one of these but after getting it...it's larger than we thought and hard to stash or store in cupboard or drawer. Overall we decided we prefer the magnet more. I do...my husband still hasn't made up his mind yet. Concept is good and some people might really like it if they have a spot for it when put away but we have a powerful chem lab style magnetic stick which works so nice and takes up so little space in our drawer of canning gadgets. I gave it 3 stars because if you do have the right size pan and it does separate the lids nicely...but it's overkill at the same time. And I had to use a bigger pan than I do otherwise to heat my lids in...the old way wins this round for me.
