Hot plate for canning?

Just last week I bought an electric commercial stock pot range that I will use for canning. It's an older Toastmaster model (looks like it was never used), countertop, with two large burners, 2700 watts each. I bought it from a restaurant equipment supply place. It's 220, single phase, and the plug fits in my Blodgett oven outlet. I haven't used it yet, but plan to, this week. I also bought a couple of bee-you-tee-ful 24 quart stainless stock pots. I was really tired of waiting forever for pots to boil on my Jenn Air range..... Try your local restaurant places, they often have used equipment. Happy Canning Mary Pleasant Pond Orchard Maine |
