Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro canning lid Rack
Customer Review: glad I bought this
Summary: 5 Stars
This is definitely easier to use than the magnetic wand or tongs to get lids out of water. Worth the money!Customer Review: Great Tool For Canning
Summary: 4 Stars
I canned without one of these last year, and while it can be done, this thing was worth the money. I no longer have to mess with the tongs and the lids sticking together in the pan. I used to boil a kettle of water seperately on the stove to use in my pressure cooker while I was sterilizing my lids in a shallow saucepan. Then I'd basically waste the water out of the "lid" pan and dump the boiling water from the kettle into the canner. This took two of my burners and valuable canning space. Now I use a larger pan for my lids (especially for wide mouth) since you need about 2-1/2 quarts of water to cover this thing with lids in. Now I save myself a step by simmering the lids, capping the jars, and then dump the water from the "lid" pan into the canner. Water saved as well. The color of the metal does darken with use, and I wish this was stainless steel. I think it will last awhile anyway since all you do is dip it in water, but stainless would have been nice. It holds more than enough lids for a full load. Everyone who cans with me wants one. Great item. Not a necessity, but it gets the job done faster and easier with less burnt fingers!Customer Review: Anxious to try this summer.

I am anxious to try this out when the canning season begins. No more burned fingers?Customer Review: Norpro Canning Lid Rack Turns BLACK
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very disappointed in this rack. While a great concept, the rack turned black in the heated water the first time I used it. Why did it turn black? Are my lids still safe to use on my canning jars? Did some coating come off in the water? Ick. VERY disappointed in this item and still concerned about my family's safety.
