Ten autoclave accessories

Buying an autoclave is only the first step. To make autoclaving convenient and safe, it is important to equip yourself with the right accessories and choose the set of accessories you need. In this article, we will talk about 10 things worth buying together with an autoclave. These are not unnecessary “just-in-case” accessories, but a practical starter kit that:

  • makes the canning process easier
  • saves time
  • improves safety
  • reduces the number of mistakes

Jar dividers

Dividers are one of the most important accessories for autoclaving, especially if you:
  • cook in multiple tiers
  • work with a full autoclave load
  • use different containers
They secure jars or retort pouches, preventing them from colliding with each other and with the autoclave body. Thanks to the dividers, the containers remain stable throughout the entire sterilization cycle.

Loader for jars and retort pouches

Loader is an indispensable accessory if you have encountered the problem of jars or retort pouches “floating up”.
  • securely fixes containers inside the autoclave;
  • prevents shifting during heating;
  • is suitable for jars and retort pouches;
The universal design allows the loader to be used in autoclaves of different capacities.

Steam valve

Steam valve opens up the possibility to work in steam autoclaving mode. It is made of stainless steel and is suitable for all UTEHO autoclave models that have a ball valve in the standard configuration. The steam valve has its own features:
  • automatic operation - the valve closes on its own;
  • easy installation instead of the nipple;
  • holding time is 2 times longer compared to water mode.

Jar tongs

Tongs are, first of all, safety. Removing hot jars by hand after autoclaving is dangerous, especially if:
  • the jars are wet;
  • the water temperature is still high.
When canning with Twist-Off lids, the autoclave is often opened at 70–80 °C, and it is the tongs that allow:
  • to safely remove hot containers;
  • not to burn your hands;
  • not to drop a heavy jar.

Seaming key

A reliable seaming key directly affects the tightness of SKO lids even before autoclaving. A quality seaming key is: 
  • even lid closing;
  • minimum failures;
  • stable storage of preserves for years.

Cordless air compressor for pumping pressure

For canning in SKO jars and tin cans, you need to create an initial pressure of 1 bar. The compressor pump allows:
  • to quickly pump the required pressure;
  • to work without physical effort;
  • automatically stops at the set value;
An additional plus — the compressor can be used to inflate tires or balls.

Thermal cover for the autoclave

Thermal cover:
  • reduces heat loss
  • speeds up reaching operating temperature
  • reduces electricity consumption
Universal thermal covers UTEHO are suitable for electric autoclaves of the A, UTech and CHE series and are available in sizes for 24, 32 and 40 jars. An additional bonus — protection against burns when accidentally touching the hot body.

Retort pouches and sealer

Retort pouches are a new level of home autoclaving. They are convenient for cooking:
  • porridge;
  • meat dishes;
  • soups;
  • sauces.
Advantages of retort pouches:
  • compactness;
  • no glass;
  • convenient storage and transportation.
The sealer guarantees pouch tightness and safe storage of ready meals.

Water drain hose

Draining water from an autoclave without additional accessories can be:
  • difficult
  • slow
  • inconvenient
The hose connects to the ball drain valve and allows:
  • to drain water without lifting the autoclave;
  • to avoid spilling water;
  • to quickly complete the sterilization process.
Especially useful if the autoclave is in the kitchen and the drain is in the bathroom.

Wheeled stand

A fully loaded autoclave is heavy. The wheeled stand allows:
  • to easily move the autoclave;
  • not to lift it manually;
  • to protect your back;
The wheels have a locking mechanism, so the autoclave can be securely fixed during operation.
