Although a very traditional method, home canning is still popular with cooks in the modern day. It is a great way of storing up the best of a season so it can be used at a later stage, but this is only likely to prove successful if people have the right cookware to use.

Head Cook and Bottlewasher stocks a number of items that will help with home canning. One of the most crucial pieces of kit is a pressure cooker, as this will help eliminate any nasty bugs that may be present on the food. One great example is the Perfect Plus - WMF Pressure Cooker, priced at just £99.

Once home canning has been carried out, cooks will need to make sure they can remember which items are stored where. As a result, a set of labels from Head Cook and Bottlewasher are important. A number of different styles are on offer, including the Edsol jam pot labels in floral design, priced at £1.35 for ten.
