I’ve been home canning for about 30 years and really enjoy it. I’m no expert on it, but I do considered myself to be well-experienced with it. Over the years I’ve canned applesauce, pear sauce, apple pie filling, a variety of different pickles, relishes, fruits, vegetables, salsas, soups, stews, juices, and other foods.

One question that I get asked a lot is “Where do I buy my water bath canners, pressure canners, mason jars, and home canning accessories? These items are readily available from numerous online retailers but I prefer to purchase the items that I need from Amazon. Why Amazon?
* Price: I often find their prices to be competitive and often times cheaper. I can easily do comparison shopping.
* Reviews: I like being able to read the reviews on an item before I purchase it. A lot of online retailers don’t have that option available to potential customers.
* Availability: They have everything that I need. Seriously, I can buy everything that I need from one retailer and on one shopping trip! They offer items that you can’t find anywhere else.
* Returns: I can return any item that doesn’t meet my satisfaction with no hassle. Over the past 10 years I’ve only returned 2 items to Amazon and both were easy returns with no problems. That’s the way it should be!
* Shipping: We’re Amazon Prime members so the majority of items we purchase are shipped FREE and only take 2 days to get here.
Just in the past 3 years I’ve purchased the following home canning items and have been extremely pleased with my purchases.
Water Bath Canner
Steam Pressure Canner
Glass Mason Jars by the Case
Replacement Water Bath Canner Rack
Seals and Rings (as needed)
New Accessories Kit (jar lifter, seal grabber, wide mouth funnel, etc.)
Pickling Salts
Spices and Herbs
Home Canning Cookbooks
and More!
It’s a huge time-saver for me and honestly, a money-saver too! I don’t have to go out running from store to store to compare prices, make purchases, drag the items home, etc. My orders arrive within 2 days to my front door. Shopping at its best!

I too like using Amazon and I can easily comparison shop to see if there is a better price elsewhere. I do appreciate the delivery right to my door.
I am getting more and more interested in canning. I like the idea of know exactly what is in my food and also we live in a rural area and having canned foods in the pantry is always a good idea. I really enjoyed reading this post. I am finding that more and more items are less expensive on Amazon these days and I love the idea of having my supplies delivered to the house. I am going to check out the items that you posted in your post above thanks for sharing.
amazon is so convenient for all purchases. i use them too.
I like using Amazon. You can find pretty much anything and everything, it’s delivered to your door and I’ve been pretty happy with 90% of what I’ve bought.
You just said everything I say when ask why I buy so much at Amazon. But I also added it delivered right to my door.
