    Hiya,

    I've just started to make jams/chutneys this year.. Unfortunately the largest pan I have only does about half a kilo a time..

    Is it worth me getting a preserving pan? and if so what type.. I'm sure I read somewhere that alluminium can taint the flavour - but may well have dreamt it.. lol

    Or shall I just get a large stock type pan.. Saw one in morrisons for £9.99

    Any advice/recommendations would be greatly appreciated

    Do you have a pressure cooker?It's what I use for jams/chutneys,but without the lid.

    There is a Prestige pressure cooker on sale in Littlewoods catalogue for around £37 (1/2 price it says). Ive ordered one as I have a credit on my account and thought Id double it up as a preserve pan.
