Food preserving equipment

Description:	Often called “putting food up,” many American households stored fresh meats, vegetables and fruits in glass jars for later use. This 1920s Conservo canner allowed more food to be finished at once saving one from additional time in a steaming hot kitchen. The double-decker steamer sat on top of the stove and could hold sixteen quart jars. During the Depression, growing and preserving food saved hard earned money. Mendits were another money saving tool. These patches repaired pots and pans instead of replacing them.
