Hi, I have aquired a 70s model stovetop Fowlers Vacola unit, but Im in need of the instruction manual to go with it. Does anybody have a copy to sell, or would anybody be willing to scan and email me a copy, or even photocopy and post a copy to me? I would gladly pay all costs, so I can finally start preserving! Thanks for your time Alex
Hi missalex, You can buy the Fowlers Vacola preserving book from a seller on ebay,she goes by the name Shell**blue.I bought my Fowlers Vacola preserving kit from this seller about 2 weeks ago, and I recently purchased the book from this seller as well. If you need anything for your fowlers vacola unit this is the seller to buy it all from as her prices are very reasonable.Hope this helps you will your question... all the best to you, the~crafty~gardener
the new guidelines for water bathing (which is what a stovetop unit is) is to process your foods at a gentle boil. there are several sellers on ebay selling fowlers vacola. personally i prefer the seller that goes byt he name of ozfarmer australia. they have a really good range of preserving equipment and excellent knowledgeable customer service.
