<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 rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/8/KitchenBath/KitchenStorage/CanisterSets/PRD~0422501P/7-jar%2BCanner.jsp"><span></span>http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/browse/8/KitchenBath/KitchenStorage/C<span></span>anisterSets/PRD~0422501P/7-jar%2BCanner.jsp</a>).<br><br>I
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 rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.everythingkitchens.com/excalibur.html"><font face="Tahoma" size="-1"><b>http://www.everythingkitchens.com/article-food-dehydrators.html</b></font></a><font face="Tahoma" size="-1">. I'm not sure where to buy it though? Anyone
else know?<br><br>Candace<br></font></blockquote>
