<DIV>Thanks Candace. What's the advantage of a pressure canner over a
regular canning pot? Also, regarding a dehydrator, this is all I found
locally:</DIV>

<BLOCKQUOTE cite="" type="cite">I have a Presto pressure canner from Canadian
tire that I am very happy with. I think it was just over $100 (it was a
gift so I'm not quite sure). A large canning pot and utensils can also
be purchased at Canadian Tire fairly cheaply (<A

don't own a dehydrator but I did do some research a while back and I believe
the Excalibur dehydrator was rated fairly high and is quite popular - <A

<BLOCKQUOTE>Greetings all,<BR><BR>being the foody types that you are,
thought you might know a thing or two about dehydrators...any
recommendations if I were looking to purchase one? Actually, WPIRG is
considering purchasing a dehydrator as well as a canning pot so that we can
all borrow them
