What struck me about this book is how thorough it is. This thing is packed with information, more than I have gotten out of other books. The questions I had going into this were all answered. It seems that Ben Night anticipated what a newbie would ask and address those in a way that someone new to canning would understand. He covers the steps, safety, necessary equipment and more and the photos are a big help too in showing the different types of equipment and processes. The step by step methods are easy to follow and understand making the process of canning and enjoyable experience.I really appreciate the chapters on how to dehydrate foods like apples. That was a nice bonus. In fact, I am going to give it a try later today. There is also information on the pros and cons of the different types of foods that can be stored that was insightful.Overall, this is a thorough guide that covers more aspects than I knew about while keeping it simple. This is one book that is going to pay for itself over and over.
