Home Autoclave — Budget-Friendly Options
Home canning is economical, tasty, and safe, which is why more and more Ukrainian families rely on this method of preserving food. Some people still process jars “by hand,” without using sterilizing equipment. Yet this approach cannot guarantee full sterility: boiling jars or simmering preserves does not reach a high-enough temperature to eliminate all microorganisms. As a result, jars can spoil quickly during storage. An autoclave, on the other hand, sterilizes products at 110–120 °C—this treatment kills every bacterium and ensures a long shelf life.
When it comes to choosing a unit, top-of-the-line models can be pricey. Fortunately, there are budget alternatives that combine reliability and affordability. How do you pick a budget autoclave and avoid disappointment? Read on to find out.
Body Material
- Coating. Even the simplest autoclave should have a heat-resistant powder-coat finish to protect it from corrosion and wear.
- Certified steel. Wall thickness must be at least 2 mm so the vessel can handle high pressure without deformation.

Gas or Electric?
- Gas — the cheapest. Works on a gas stove, burner, or open fire. Perfect when no electricity is available.
- Electric (universal) — more expensive but features a control panel. Set time and temperature, then go about your day: the unit heats to the set temperature, holds it for the programmed time, then switches off and cools down. It can also be used on gas if needed.
