I never thought about the burner on the grill, but the pot may still be a bit wide and wobbly.<br /><br />Last night, I took my tallish flat bottomed pot, tied jar lid rings together to make a platform so the jars didn't sit on the bottom and canned my own salsa! It was so easy, I didn't need a real canner (wish I had figured this out before I bought the thing I can't use) and it worked great!Ribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460673212389110633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-91848926009505471712009-07-03T00:24:21.107-04:002009-07-03T00:24:21.107-04:00The book for my stove says not to use any pans wit...The book for my stove says not to use any pans without an even/flat bottom as the heat builds up underneath the raised portion which can cause it to crack. It also says be sure to immediately wipe up any sugary spills (on the hot burner area) as they can permanantly discolor the top. From my experience making raspberry jam at our last house, I'd be in trouble! I had raspberry splattered over half my kitchen!!<br /><br />I haven't gotten to where I need to can anything (yet) so I'm happy with my stovetop so far. It's the cleanest one I've ever had (I've never done well with burner pans on the electric stove-) If I do need to can, I think I could use the side burner on the grill or the gas stove in the travel trailer. Less than ideal, but still an option...Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306754150860679811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-52657302594784098312009-07-02T06:47:54.012-04:002009-07-02T06:47:54.012-04:00hidinginmygarden, the little man said last night t...hidinginmygarden, the little man said last night that he wanted to marry me for real so he'd never have to move out of the house so I'd never have new children so I won't forget him.<br /><br />Yes, it was all said in one breath without punctuation. :) He's a good kid.Ribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460673212389110633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-10482590452848523222009-07-02T06:44:32.122-04:002009-07-02T06:44:32.122-04:00KitsapFG, that's exactly my problem.

Yesterday I had about 3 lbs of tomatoes that I wanted to can for stewed toms or something, but all I could find was that you needed upwards of 9-20 lbs of them.

Like painting though, it's the prep work that seems to take all the time. My favorite thing to can is tomatoes and tomato sauce. I did not get to do nearly enough of it last year because we had such a lousy tomato growing year in 2008. This year is shaping up to be a high production year (thankfully) - so lots of canning!kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-75595767537208326842009-07-02T00:50:08.242-04:002009-07-02T00:50:08.242-04:00Now I KNOW I'm not buying that ceramic cook to...Now I KNOW I'm not buying that ceramic cook top I had my mind set on.

I've wanted to try canning for a few years now, but haven't had the guts to try it. If it's as easy as you make it sound, maybe I'll give it a go soon too!<br /><br />One of my backup recipe sites has a good looking canning section...
