How to choose the right accessory?

The right accessory depends on the equipment used, the type of preparation, the container concerned and the task you want to make easier.

Funnels, tongs and filling tools for jars

Funnels and tongs are among the most practical accessories when preparing homemade preserves. A funnel helps fill jars more cleanly, especially with sauces, soups, coulis, fruit, vegetables and liquid preparations. Jar tongs can make handling containers easier, especially when jars are hot or difficult to grip.

These accessories are especially useful for users preparing several jars at once. They contribute to a smoother organisation in the kitchen or workshop while reducing approximate gestures. However, each accessory should be checked for suitability with the diameter, jar type and intended use.

Juice extractor, bottom grid and replacement parts

A juice extractor for WECK steriliser can expand the uses of the equipment, especially for fruit and liquid preparations. A bottom grid can help organise jars inside the appliance, while a replacement tap or technical part can help keep compatible equipment in good condition for longer.

Before purchasing a replacement part, it is essential to check the appliance reference, brand compatibility, dimensions and attachment method. A part that is not compatible may not work correctly, even if it appears visually similar.
