Only money for one: canner or foodsaver?

zeuspaul · March 20, 2015

I have a couple of pressure canners that don't get used anymore. It is too big of an operation. I try to minimize my use of plastic and 35 cents per Foodsaver bag seems a bit pricey to me.

I freeze because it is easy. I freeze in glass because it is reusable and I feel more comfortable not using plastic. Liquids work well in glass because of the rigid containers and that is mostly what I freeze. Vegetable soup, tomato sauce and orange juice using a combination of pint wide mouth glass canning/freezer jars and the large Pyrex glass squares. The squares are space efficient and the jars for serving size.

Put me down for *other*.
