Bought a pressure canner. It didn't work on my stove. Bought a one-burner electric unit. Seemed like a good idea until I realized that the canner on top of the burner unit almost hit the overhead cabinets. Swell. So, then I started looking for a small island that I could wheel to where it needed to plug in to can. After looking at all kinds of really expensive units in every kind of wood, with cabinets and without, with wood, stainless steel and granite counter tops, I keep looking. They ranged from about $400 to almost $800. I kept reading reviews. Some were not well made. Some were not real wood. Some had to be oiled. But the most damaging reviews told how they were not sturdy enough to hold anything heavy. Swell. I kept looking. Eurika! When searching through pages and pages of Amazon's listings, I came across a black metal unit that folded! Origami makes different sizes and colors of this unit. It is sturdy and had so many wonderful reviews that I looked for a white one for my kitchen. It went together immediately. It is sturdy and wonderfully useful. I expected less of a white coating. This unit is so well made that everyone who sees it tries to find a place in their kitchen for one. I can knock it down and put it under another piece of furniture if I need to. This is very well made, and is exactly what I need for my canning. I might get one for down in the work shop. This was just a little over a hundred bucks. Utility won. Sturdy, useful and well made. I just saved myself about $700 for a unit that will last for years.
