I’ve found canning supplies at my local hardware store and cheaper than the jars in the grocery store

Jan, it really is a useful tool!

Janet, while I don’t have a grill, I do use mine when broiling meat (particularly roasts), to ensure that I don’t over or under cook things.

Heidi, that’s good to know. I’m pretty careful not to submerge the probe in water, as I had a feeling it wouldn’t hold up. But it’s useful to have that suspicion confirmed.

What I miss most about living in the Midwest is that the grocery stores are always well stocked with canning supplies. Haven’t found that to be the case on the coasts.

i’ve got a taylor thermometer like this, but found that you have to be careful with the metal probe. if you submerge it in water, it will break. found this out the hard way.

I too have this timer and I love, love, love it! But it never occured to me to use it for canning! It is my go to bar-b-que tool, with that long cord it works great for keeping track of meat temps and getting them just perfect while ‘grilling’. Now it looks like it will be one of my favorite canning tools too!
thanks

This looks like a must have kitchen item for sure. Thanks for the recommendation.

I remember my first garden; my son was 6 months old and happy as a clam trying to eat dirt while I was planting my first plants. I even have a picture. I would love to win your seeds. Thank you.
