Victorio VKP1110 Magnetic Canning Lid Lifter and Bubble Remover Review

Customer Ratings:

This is my first canning season since I helped my mom when I was a little kid. I used my mom's old stuff, but she didn't have this tool. I did a couple batches of pears and some jam and jelly without this. Then I decided to add some new tools to make the job a little easier. The bubble remover seemed to work quite a bit better than the spatula I had been using. I doesn't really have any sharp points, so it slides right out without catching the fruit.

The lid lifter was a a lot easier to maneuver than the tongs, though the magnet picked up two lids once. All in all, a great tool for the few bucks I paid.

I decide not to use it as an all in one tool. It's got a great magnet to lift the lids and bands out of the hot water and works awesome to remove bubbles but I felt using both ends might be counter productive.

I was canning some spicy potato soup and noticed that when I would remove the bubbles and then grab for the next lid I saw some juices going into the lid pot, not much mind you but enough to worry me that now I was putting grease on the lid and band after I just cleaned the jar top to make sure no grease or broth was left on the lid. I will admit I did not wipe down the bubble remover end after removing the air from the jars just laid it down on a paper towel so maybe had I wiped it each time it would not have put any broth in my water.

I bought another magnet wand from my local store and absolutely hate the quality so I am ordering another one of these tools so I can have one for the magnet and one for the lids. It also never hurts to have a spare.

As a person who hates to have products that only perform one task, I sure do love this item! I love that I can run the one side around the jar to release the air bubbles, then wipe it on a towel, and stick the magnet in the saucepan to retrieve my lids! Genius! I don't need a kitchen drawer full of utensils just for my canning endeavors!

Honest reviews on Victorio VKP1110 Magnetic Canning Lid Lifter and Bubble Remover

I bought this thinking I'd finally found a sturdy, longer-handled replacement for those cheap, short little two-dollar lid lifters, but I hadn't used it for more than three or four batches before the magnet just fell out. By contrast, I've never lost a magnet out of one of the cheap lid lifters, and I do more than 600 jars a year, so they're getting used constantly. Dual-purpose tools are nice, but only when they actually work for both purposes.

I'd say stick with a lid lifter like Norpro 606 Magnetic Lid Wand (I use two at the same time to maneuver the lids with more stability -really helps with when they get flipped over!) and use a chopstick to get air bubbles out. This poorly-made tool isn't worth the money.

This has to be one of the most useful kitchen tools I own. No more trying to separate my lids in the pot of hot water with tongs. Makes canning go faster and anything that gets me out of the kitchen quicker is great. Works exactly as advertised easy to use and cheap. If you don't have one and you can you are missing out.
