This year Jarden Home Brands launched the third appliance in its FreshTECH family. The new FreshTECH Electric Water Bath Canner + Multi-Cooker is a plug-in, countertop appliance that eliminates the need for stove top heating. This removes the concerns of ceramic-glass stove top owners and makes it more convenient to handle than traditional water bath canning pots. The appliance enables users to multi-task during the canning process, eliminating the need to monitor boiling water or move the pot to fill and drain.
So, I know you’re thinking oh, another fairly narrow-use appliance… I certainly had that thought initially, but now that I’ve pulled it out and really explored all of the possibilities, I see that this device is essentially a more versatile version of a crock pot that allows you to actually waterbath can in addition to all the slow cooking you might want to do. The pot’s size is also quite handy for the larger soups and stock batches that won’t fit in your standard crock pot.
Plus, there’s a spigot which eliminates the majority of the lifting and pouring you need to do to get water or stock out of the pot when finished. I also plan to use this as our mulled wine or mulled cider vessel for our annual holiday party. No more sticky goo all over the kitchen stove as people try to ladle out festive warm beverages.

I am hoping to can some spicy green beans.
I would use this all the time, I always have stock on the go, always.
My neighbours and friends depend on me to always have stock in my freezer :)
I also water bath can a lot of the fruit from our orchard for winter night treats!
This will be my 2nd year canning. Planning on doing some tomatoes for Christmas gifts. Who doesn't love canned tomatoes!? #canitforward
I plan on canning it forwar by preserving food for my mom to use.
I love this setup and will make lots of amazing broths and jams :)
I plan to put up tomatoes and a couple of fruit pastes for holiday cheese plates. Thanks for the opportunity!
With the spigot and all that, I would totally go hog wild on stock! But also cherry jam, strawberries in syrup, apricot everything... yum yum yum!
I need to make some peach jam before peaches are done!
I can very sporodically! It seems like I do a bunch, give a lot away, then don't do any for awhile. Repeat!
I would love to use one of these! I lusted after the one that Weck had but I couldn't bring myself to spend that much money! This would be perfect for those long tomato waterbath times!
I LOVE the spigot, that would make pour stock into my jars so much easier!
i would love to make jellies and tomatoes!
I'd love to can tomatoes again this year - my CSA provides lovely 25 pound boxes. Love having tomatoes throughout the summer!
I want to try my hand at some green bean pickling, a bright treat for neighbors when the weather turns colder this winter!
With a new kiddo in the home I won't have time to put anything up, but I'll probably make a batch or two of jam that I will keep in the fridge.
Great giveaway!
Ooooooh - this looks great! I just moved and and am ready to stock my shelves with some broth!
that looks like it would make canning so much easier!
I have a glass top stove and have been looking at this. It looks wonderful. I can so much for my family. But this season I am also planning to make pickled okra for my father-in-law this season. He loves it!
I totally need this to can broth! I hate throwing it away, but it's a pain to freeze. Canning would be perfect!
I'm trying pickles this year. Already gave some to my nephew.
This looks really handy ! I'll be canning ketchup soon!
There are so many uses for this I would use it year round.
I would make some amazing hill country peach preserves, to enjoy in the cooler season while I reminisce on my awesome summer! #canitforward
This would be wonderful! No more worrying about the glass top stove!
