we used a loaner....works great....peas have to be picked and wait until next day to shell...we used an electric drill(would work better with a hand mixer)set on a small table, used a tin square pan for peas to go in and a new paper as a shoot for the hulls to go down in a bucket....now we have ordered one of our own....oh and the peas have to be turned to enter the roller with end that has a little tab on it......(not where you break it off at vine.....hope this helps..we saved a bundle of time with the sheller and no dirty fingers....jh

Shell a bushel of peas in 30 minutes. The amazing Mr Pea Sheller does a great job with Black Eyed Peas, Purple Hulls, Cream Beans etc. It will also shell Butter Beans when they are in the fresh ripe green stage. The upper shaft easily adapts to a hand mixer to make the job even faster!! (see larger picture)

Works great. We really like the measurer at the top. Our kids help us with the canning of various things so it helps them to guage how full the jars are.

Ball Mouth Lids Review

It was disappointing to learn that all Ball/Kerr lids are lined with the toxin BPA. I hope they're working on a lid that is free of BPA, but in the mean time, if you're searching for lids without BPA, I suggest Tattler lids. They are reusable and guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Jarden Home Brands 12Pk 1/2Pt wide Mouth Jar Canning Jars Review

(More customer reviews)
I'll start by saying that this is a criticism of Amazon listings in general. A friend of mine in the mid-west had some "Ball" mason 1/2 pint jars that looked as if you took the quart jar and lobbed off most of it. So they're kind of flat, but they hold a half pint and have a wide mouth. Well, I did some searching here and found 4 in a package for 10 or more dollars. I wanted more than four so after some digging around I found this product. Well, they're flattish and have a wide mouth, BUT THERE'S NO PICTURE OF THE ACTUAL JAR!!! I have simply not purchased things on Amazon for this reason.
After looking at the reviews and seeing that someone said they liked the "squat look" of the product I decided to go for it. Well, they're not what I was looking for, but they're very cute and will do for my purposes. They may even be better, but time and experience will have to determine that. I use jars to store all of my leftovers or take-alongs in order to avoid plastic.

Norpro canning lid Rack Review

Norpro canning lid  Rack

After too many times of having my hot lids stick to each other and have to handled, struggled with, or just give up until later, I bought this gadget. There are some things we don't need when canning. We can live without the funnel. We can probably live without the lifter tool. I'm not sure I want to live without this item. You can slide your rings down the handle while you are getting organized. you can even put the whole thing, with rings, down into your hot water. You pick up the lids by the edges, never have to touch the inside of the lid. A great and useful tool.

Norpro KRONA Stainless Steel Steamer Juicer Review

Norpro KRONA Stainless Steel Steamer Juicer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Last year (2008) our little planting of grapes finally started producing. We borrowed a steam juicer and were able to can about 42 quarts of grape juice (along with eating a bunch and selling some). The juicer was so nice that we decided to purchase our own. This Norpro Juicer Steamer has many of the features we were looking for. Stainless steel. Good capacity. We also liked this unit because of the glass lid which allows you to know how the process is going without opening it up (one thing we didn't like with the steamer we borrowed last year). I also noticed that the handles are designed to remain cooler than the other unit - another good feature of this steamer.

KRONA Stainless Steel Juicer/Steamer.Extract pure, natural juice from your favorite fruits with this high quality gauge stainless steel steamer/juicer by Norpro. Simply fill the base with water, put fruit in the top basket and bring to a boil on the stove top. The resulting steam gently extracts the juice, which drips into the center pan then travels down the rubber hose into a storage container. Drink the vitamin rich juice fresh, or save it for making jelly or syrup. Without the center pan and hose, the set can also be used to steam vegetables on the stove and roast meats in the oven. Includes: steamer insert, juice container, water pot, silicone tube, stainless steel clamp and tempered glass lid. Recipes and instructions included.
