Fermenting Supplies and Resources
Airlock Systems
3 pack of Kraut Kaps, includes three sets of the ring, plastic lid and airlock system
This is the Perfect Pickler kit I originally purchased when I started, including Celtic sea salt and recipe booklet.
Since filming the video, I've gotten these Mason jar fermenting tops and LOVE them, super easy to use and they just pop on with a regular canning band.
Best Salts for Fermenting
Redmond Real Salt– this is what we use as table salt and for fermenting
Celtic Sea Salt– this is the light grey salt that came with my Perfect Pickler Kit
Fermenting Weights
Glass pickling weights set of 4
Cups that hold the brine for a weight
Dehydrating Resources
Nesco Square Dehydrator This is the dehydrator I have and a great entry point as far as cost goes. You can purchase additional trays for it here.
These are the silicone mats I use for fruit leather, sticky foods, and or small items.
Excalibur Dehydrators, considered the dehydrator by many.
Some of my favorite jars to store dehydrated food in are Fido jars.
Vacuum Sealer- use for dehydrated foods (I use our for freezing foods too). This is the exact model we use.
The Veggie Spiralizer– I've had this for over 3 years and adore it for making vegetable noodles or curly fries.
Canning Resources
I don’t have this version, but I hear from many many experienced canners that this is the gold standard and best canning book to start with. Make sure you’re using a new edition though like this one –> Ball Blue Book of Canning
My go to canning book is the Ball Complete Book of Canning it has lots of standard recipes, canning instructions and safety tips, pressure canning, and my favorite part is the side bar notes of wisdom included by many of the recipes. It’s heavier on the water bath recipes (lots of sauces, jams, jellies, salsas, and even a chocolate one) but it does include some pressure canning as well.
Canners
For a water bath canner that won’t rust or chip, consider a stainless steel water bath canner like this one.
Or the granite water bath canner you’ve most likely seen: waterbath canner with a removable rack.
A 5 piece canning kit, with jar remover, magnetic lid lifter, funnel, kitchen tongs and jar wrench.
Frugal pressure canners:
This Presto pressure canner is under a $100 and will get you pressure canning all of your non-acid foods safely. It does use a rubber gasket and can also be used for water bath canning. This is very similar to the pressure canner I’ve used for over a decade.
Investment pressure canners:
This is an All American Pressure canner. It has a metal on metal seal so you don’t have to replace rubber gaskets. After operating both (best Christmas gift ever!) I do prefer and use exclusively the All American pressure canner. I feel it gets to pressure faster and holds it easier without adjusting temps through the processing times.
