Longaberger Jars: are they mason jars?
Comments (4)The Mason patent was for a threaded lid which could be used in conjunction with a threaded jar rim. It's generally a canning jar, but not necessarily. As you surmised, if the two-piece Ball or Kerr lids fit, there's no reason not to use it for boiling water bath, but pressure canning introduces stresses well beyond that. The only jars I would use for pressure canning are Ball and Kerr. Carol...See MoreBake in a canning jar ??
Comments (7)Yet one more person suggesting you avoid baking in canning jars. I teach food safety classes and this one seems to be one people just seem to love to take chances with.... There's a reason the manufacturer of the jars don't advise it. People do all kinds of unsafe things in the kitchen, and for the most part get away with it. So just accept the consequences of your actions when it doesn't go right, and please keep children and pets away from the scene of the potential accident. And an even worse idea is canned bake cake and quick breads in the oven. -Grainlady Here is a link that might be useful: Canned Breads and Cakes - Food Safety...See MoreQuick question re using a Foodsaver to seal WM mason jars
Comments (3)I can't really recommend a certain model because every one of mine have been different and they are constantly changing them, but all worked essentially the same. What I look for: 1. You can use both sizes of bags (8- & 11-inch). 2. Has a jar sealer. I've had a model that held the roll of bags inside and two that didn't. I actually preferred the bags outside to inside. It seemed like it didn't matter which size bag you had in the machine, it was always the wrong one for your needs. I really like the canisters. I used to be able to get them at Wal-Mart, but they don't carry them anymore. The canisters are wonderful for fresh greens - helps keep them fresh much longer. Canisters or jars are a must for things that will stick together if vacuum-sealed in a plastic bag. I purchased a HUGE bag of chocolate chips at Sam's Club many years ago and vacuum-sealed them in user-friendly size bags. Little did I know they would clump together - duh!!! You will find you use it all the time if you have it out and available, not put away. I have a large kitchen rack and I keep a pretty basket with all the bags and the hose and jar attachment, as well as a Sharpie (for marking the bags contents) and a pair of sissors - right there with the FoodSaver. I use it many times a day. I have my #4 FoodSaver in storage (I got it dirt-cheap at Tuesday Mornings 2 years ago) and it's completely different from the one I'm now using.

Comments (9)im doing this in order to know more or less what type of soil i have. I am undergoing landscaping and choosing plants and want to know what I have in place. In a previous thread, someone had recommended this test to have a ball park. It's not to have a precise measure, but in this case - if correct - the precision is irrelevant because it seems most is silt. Morpheus, what is your suspicion? Hmm interesting you say yours is about 3 grains of sand and 99% silt. I understand you are from CentralPA or something like that? That's where I am located so I think that might have something to do with it! I'll redo it once more in a different jar and different location from yard as well....See Morekayskats
