The Three-Piece Canning Set is a speciality item

Three-Piece Canning - A Fun and Easy Task

The Three-Piece Canning Set is a speciality item that has been in use since the late 19th century. It has replaced the old "Big and Tall" canning method that used to be popular in the UK. It is basically a can that has a lid, a top and two handles. The lid then detaches to reveal the inside contents.

The design of these canners has changed greatly over the years from the traditional model that had the glass can with the opening in the bottom. Now it has gone digital with a display that shows exactly what is inside by using LED lights. This is done so that the food that you are canning does not spoil.

If you are new to canning your own food then this will make your job easier. But if you have been canning for years and are used to boiling your foods you will find that the new style takes some getting used to. It really is not as simple as boiling or canning your soups and sauces with water. But, if you do go down this route you will notice that each quart canister has a definite set of measurements on it. You do not just randomize them but rather follow what the recipe calls for.

One thing to remember when you are canning your own food is that the directions will be very specific about the times that they say that you should cook the food. They may even tell you that you must clean your can before you start. The three-piece canning system was developed for that reason. You can see in the directions that you should clean out the can before putting the contents into it and not before.

The best part about canning your own meals at home is that it does not take up a lot of counter space. When you can purchase something that you need and then add it to your already crowded kitchen the other food on the shelf is going to look crowded too. Plus, it will not be as easy for the kitchen counters to handle it as well.

You do not need to know anything about the canning business to do three-piece canning. All you need is to be able to read instructions and follow them closely. However, if you would prefer to be able to help your family make great meals from start to finish then you will want to attend a cooking class instead. There are many people who will gladly teach you everything they know about canning from scratch. And, because the internet has made everything so easy, now it is easier than ever for you to find a class in your area.
