I'm considering buying an electric "sterilisateur" like this from France.

Does anyone have any experience with this type of thing?

Home "canning" in glass jars can be a useful way of preserving food, but before deciding to proceed, be aware of the risks, especialy of botulism poisining, as disscussed in more detail in the other thread.
The risks may not be that great, after all most people eating home canned food do survive.
However every year people do die from it, mainly in the USA where the process is more popular.
As JonB points out, at the inquest a common remark is "we have been doing it for years without a problem"
An electricly heated canner such as the one linked to is probably more convienient to use than one heated on a stove, but I would expect the small but real risks to be similar.
A perfectly proper subject for disscusion, but I will lock this thread as we already have a thread on the subject, where discussions may be continued.
