"Canning Magnet" FARM HOME Food 26-2-30 Retired rancher Ruben Lungren of Worland, Wyo., recently sent FARM SHOW photos of a "canning magnet" he came up with to pull canning jar lids out of boiling water without burning his fingers.
The "Magna Grab", as he calls it, consists of a 5-in. long wooden dowel with a magnet on one end and a short nylon loop at the other end. The magnet is about the size of a dime and is 1/8 in. thick.
"It eliminates the need to pour out the hot water or use something like a spoon to fish the lids out," says Lungren. "I do a lot of canning and got tired of trying to use a spoon to lift the lids out. I've given a few Magna-Grabs to friends and neighbors. Some people with arthritic fingers have found it helps them pick up earrings, chains, pins and other small articles."
Sells for just $1.40 plus S&H.
