New canning jars came sealed
Comments (8)I have bought unopened "vintage" boxes of jars where the lids and rings came packaged separately from the jars. What I do with the new shrink-wrapped ones is to soak them in hot water after I wash them to get the grooves out - though now they say you don't have to simmer them before canning, I just skip that step with "replacement" lids I buy in the box, the ones that come on the new jars I feel have to be soaked....See Morewhy did one of my jars lid and seal come off
Comments (2)" Used my American canner with the lid on and the knobs tightened" When using a PC for BWB canning you do not lock the lid down. Just set it loosely in place. Even with the weight left off if the lid is locked down you are pressure canning at approx. 5 # pressure. Dave...See MoreCan jar lids with seal inside?
Comments (4)No they aren't hot-fill only. They are used for things like jellies and jams that are BWB for short periods of time. Note the description says "not FOR LONGER WATER BATH (> 15 minutes) " so no more than 15 mins. Can't say how many people may be using them for home canning since they are expressly NOT recomended by NCHFP. I suspect there are still far more of the great-grandma-did-it-this-way bunch still doing open kettle canning than there should be. But if they are using them then technically that is fine for short BWB use. As for commercial canners using them with their very different equipment and different guidelines, I can't say. But it still doesn't mean they are doing open kettle canning. Dave...See More4 oz canning jars, lid seal
Comments (1)irun, sometimes I get impatient and "test" a jar for a seal and the center pops down and stays down as you described. I don't seem to have any more lid failures with those jars than with the ones that pop by themselves, but I don't advocate doing that. I should be more patient and just let the darned things do their sealing on their own time, but I've had no catastrophic failures from my impatience......yet. Annie...See Morepixie_lou
