Customer Reviews

Good item3
but magnet could be stronger. If you are just lifting the lids as is it works great but I heat mine in a water bath as is recommended and then they don't grip/hold onto the lids as well. I felt like this was a great idea, just needed a stronger magnet to warrant 5 stars.

Canning? You need this!5
Jar lids in scalding hot water are an essential part of canning. This is the safe way to fish them out as needed. Handy gadget, great price. When canning season is over, I use it to find my quilt needle when it falls on the floor.

It was cheap and I got what I paid for1
Magnet is weak and the product is cheap. I can barely get a hot lid out of the water bath. 1/2 the time the lid falls back into the pan. I was expecting a magnet that could lift the lid from the center and instead the lid dangles from an edge. I could probably make something better myself from arts & craft supplies. Maybe that's what they mean by 'Back to Basics'...
