Over the weekend, Scott and I got a new TV stand. This led (as new furniture so often does) to a massive cleaning and reorganization spree. Drawers were emptied, DVDs and games found new homes, and I discovered a cache of unused gear from site sponsors in the past.
I didn’t have a giveaway lined up for this week, and so decided that instead of skipping the week, I’d give away a grab bag of goodies from the past. As it stands today, the lucky winner will get an OXO cherry pitter (by far, the best hand-held pitter I’ve ever used), a Mason Tap, one wide mouth Cuppow in orange, a pair of Coffeesocks filters for a Chemex, and some dissolvable jar labels from Ball Canning.
Because I’m still in clean-up mode, I’m certain that before the week is out, I will find even more jar-centric treasures to add to the winner’s box. So enter early and often, because this is going to be a fun one.
The “jar grabber” when lifting jars out of the pot. But dissolving labels sure are handy!
My grandmothers cannng pot!
Thank you for the great give away. I would love to win this.
Please send my way.
Just started canning/preserving and any of these tools would be a great addition to my small collection!
Always fun to give stuff away. Tools are the best!
I love the Ball green plastic lifter basket fro small batch canning.
For years I canned with our a jar lifter. I’d use wooden spoons to lift the canning rack up and grab jars with pot holders or dish towels. When I finally bought one I thought why did I wait! Love my jar lifter!
Favorite accessory are the pads I put under my hot, filed jars to cool. They take a beating for me each year! They are normally for putting wet dishes on to dry, but I discovered they work really well to protect my table from hot jars!
My favorite would have to be my jar lifter.
Never heard of dissolvable labels. I’d like to try them.
Favorite is the blossom trivet!
I love my Chemex! I didn’t realize there were reusable filters!
My mom gave me a ball jar opener – it has been a lifesaver for me lately.
It would have to be my fermenting lids.
My Masontops fermenting lids. I love having kimchi, pickled oepoers, pickles, and sauerkraut on hand!
what a great giveaway!
my most used tool is a stainless steel canning funnel! i use it almost every day!
I don’t know if I sent the first comment because it was open on my screen for a while. I was saying that I love that find the goodies to share. I got the Cuppow lid several years ago and it’s my favorite thing for smoothies and water for our mason jar glasses. I’ve baked a lot so I really like my rubber spatula to scoop out icing.
Couldn’t live without a funnel. And I love my magnetic lid wand. Would live a cherry pitter!
I love my Ball drinking lids. I use a 24-oz jar to drink from most of the time, to help me drink more water every day, especially when it is herbal teas.
I love all my canning gadgets. (Or cooking gadgets of any kind for that matter.)
Jar-lifter is great!
I like the straw tops (usually without the straws) makes for easy pouring of some things too. As well as an adult-sized sippy cup for the accident-prone!
For small recipes I love using my mother’s set of enameled cast iron saucepans. They were a garage sale find from many years ago and are constantly in use.
favorite canning accessory – painter’s tape. 🙂 makes it easy to label things in the fridge, like that half-jar that didn’t quite make it into the canner.
Where I live there’s lots and lots of assorted fruit trees. Cherries are favorite, we get something called Utah Giants which are absolutely huge. Would love that cherry Pitter and the rest of the giveaway would be a bonus
I am so happy to have purchased a jar lifter! I was using tongs with rubber bands around the tips before now, and it was soooo very unsafe. All kinds of near disasters…not what you want after putting in so much work making a pickle or preserve, so now I can can much more safely!
Use an old cherry pittter frequently as Flathead cherries are my favorite canning project in the summer.
My stainless wide mouth funnel!
I use an old plastic, pink chopstick to stir out air bubbles before canning. It’s my favorite go to!
My favorite tool is the wand with the magnet at the end!
Gotta love spring cleaning!
For canning – I mostly have basics – but I love my tea strainer 🙂 I put spices in it instead of messing with cheesecloth bags 🙂
i just wish that when I reorganize that I could manage to keep it that way!
Actually my favorite jar accessory are the canning jar rings. So much a person can do with them. Using them s molds for making desserts and using for making several muffins one imeis favorite way of using them jar rings.
Thank U 4 this giveaway opportunity
I like plastic screw top lids from Ball to go on canning jars. Makes using them for storage even easier.
I don’t have a lot of canning accessories, but the year I did cherries without a cherry pitter, my trusty paperclip was the thing I used most. I don’t think my funnel has even gotten that much use.
my favorite is my Calphalon Saucier – a big wide skillet/saucepan that is great to eveporate sauces and jams
I do like my 1/2 gallon mason jars…I use them for storing just about everything!
Sounds like a treasure trove. I’m in.
What a fun grab bag of prizes!
I use a recap for my mason jars all the time. It makes pouring so much easier.
I love my jar lifter although the funnel is a close second!!
I like this giveaway from the depths of your “storage areas.” My favorite tools are the funnel and the “jar tongs.”
Funnel, for sure. I use that sucker for so many things.
I love my lid lifer. No more burnt hands,
My favorite accessory is a handmade jar cozy. It was a gift from one friend, who custom ordered it from another. Lots of love in it!
My funnel gets used the most of all my canning supplies.
Love, love, love those labels that dissolve! I find them hard to track down, so I get excited when I find them.
I love my dinged up canning funnel that I got at a garage sale a few years ago. Prior to that, I’d done everything without a funnel and it makes me SO HAPPY each time I put it to use and watch the “extra bits” pour into the jar rather than down the side. Should’ve gotten one about 10 years sooner!
