What's with Kerr jar lids!!???
Comments (12)The white coatings on some of the older lids is just a layer of special paint. Because they improved on the yellow coatings (irridite) that the lids get prior to the rubber seal application, the newer lids need no further coats of paint or other application. They stand up well to all types of canning, unless the coating is scratched and bare metal is exposed. They are perfcetly safe to use in all canning, and even the rings get this coating. But as you know rings can rust, but thats due to the glass jar threads scratching the threads in the rings. This threaded area is not in contact with the foods, so any outside rust on the rings is OK. Many tin cans now get a similar yellow coating inside, as evidence of the inside of the lids that are yellow....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 MoreAtlas Jar Lid Recommendation
Comments (1)Ralph - the jars called Atlas Mason" were originally sold with spaghetti sauce in them, not as canning jars. For a number of years the regular lids fit them fine and many of us used and still use them today. But at some point the sauce producer decided to change the jar size/threads so the lids wouldn't fit. Rumor has it they didn't want a law suit if the jars were used for canning. I can't recall offhand the year the change was made but if regular lids won't fit them they are probably the newer model jars. One possible source of 1 piece lids that "might" fit is fillmorecontainer.com. They carry some unusual sizes. There are a couple of previous discussions here about them that might be of interest to you. The search will pull them up with "Atlas jars".
