Canning accessories are tools and equipment that help make the canning process easier and safer. Common accessories include canning jars, lids, and bands, which are essential for sealing food. Other helpful items are jar lifters for safely handling hot jars, funnel for filling jars without spills, and bubble removers to eliminate air bubbles in the jars. Using the right canning accessories ensures that food is preserved properly and reduces the risk of spoilage. Additionally, pressure canners and water bath canners are specialized equipment used for different types of canning, depending on the acidity of the food being preserved.
