Tattler Authentic E-Z Seal Reusable Canning Lids - Regular Mouth - 1 Dozen (12)

Love these. I have used them for about a year now for pressure canning. Read a trick somewhere about getting the exact right tightness of the ring that helped immensely with initial sealing issues. Place your pointer finger on the middle of the lid when tightening the ring. As soon as the jar starts to twist on the counter, the ring is tight enough. That tip has been invaluable.

People aren't joking when they say there's a learning curve to these. I followed the special instructions and watched the how-to guide videos on how to use these and still had 2 of 3 pint jars of home grown home made tomato sauce fail after being in the cupboard for two weeks. I'm going to stick with them, but I'm going to do some practice runs with canned water a few times to ensure I have the technique down.

I’m a Tattler fan all the way now!! I’ve used these little gems a few times now and I love them!! They may seem intimidating but they are no different than “regular “ canning lids. I only recommend these for intermediate or advanced canners though. If not placed properly on your jar they won’t seal. My average of “not” sealed is 1 out of every 8-10. Most times it’s 0. As soon as more are available I’m DEFINITELY buying more

last fall I made pickles and zuccini relish and used these lids. Its been a full year and all the jars left from last year's harvests are still tightly sealed. There is a trick to having a successful seal, so I suggest doing a little research about proper techniqhe. These lids are alot different than using regular seals but work great! Every jar I canned sealed property. Im very happy with them and have used the tattler lids for this year's harvest as well.

I just bought one box of this to test them out. I had heard that they have more failures that regular lids, but mine all sealed. I do miss the ping from the metal lids, but I'll probably buy more of these. I like the idea of being able to reuse them indefinitely.
