I like your using a smaller pressure cooker. Using a proper size canner for sizing the canning job. I have canner from 4qrt to 22qrt. rarely use the 22qrt. Usually use a 10qrt and a lot of time a 6 qrt. I do a lot of small portioning for my needs. Next, When I first started canning I more quart jars than pint jars. Again, I noticed I would open a large jar and I had to eat several days of soup, beans etc., so I changed my search for more pint jars, then I start canning in have half pints. Buying lids were not an issue but that was cash going out of my pocket. In 2000, I found the vintage glass lids on the auction site and started aquiring them, they were fairly cheap. Then in 2010ish the market for glass blow-up and getting over-priced. I had been getting Presto Lids and Rings to use, I then fell into the Ball #10 lids. I like the Presto Lids as I have Rings for the, but not very many for Ball. However, I now use Weck Clips and Ball #10 and Weck Lids on an assortment of small commercial jars to can. I also use Weck Lip Gaskets with out any problems. I even use Oui yogurt jars as jam jars and broth jars. (single serve).

I dont get why so many people say its not safe, but then they use weck jars that are the exact same concept! Only difference is the mechanism to hold the lid during processing! Weck jars are also NOT usda approved?! Yet people think they are safer for some reason?! I think using logic, not by listening to what the government tells me is safe...

Great Video!

"Look what I can do!!!"

So adorable!

I just watched another woman that cut rings out of a silicone rolling mat.

Too cute ❤❤

They are so silly and Cute🌞

I always preferred the rattlers, they're not a pressure guage - they're a pressure regulator. And for steam, pressure is temperature. Good on you for using the canner cookers, the old books mention it's for both.

I am really happy that I came across your channel!! You have been very informative. I have some 63 lids and at one time I had a jar, now I can't find it! 😢 I was at a garage sale and I almost shouted you've got 63 lids!!! The guy gave them to me!! 😊 I think because I knew what they were and he was impressed! Lol So, again, thank you! P.s. ... I really like your collage of lids and boxes!

Hi, I have lots of small jars (one piece) with porcelain inserts. Can this be used to preserve jam or items that does not require water bath or pressure canning? I only saw this when I got home. Otherwise not sure what to use them for

hi Rude, i'm a long time canner and i'm really interesed in how you know that the jars with the glass nubs (on the bottom) are OK for pressure canning...were you taught that? or noticed it or did you read it or learn it somewhere? I get asked a lot of questions about canning and I just did a couple vids on canning in the Atlas Mason jars in which spaghetti sauces is sold (like Classico) I even talked to the company and they said do NOT pressure can in them...they have those little nubs on them though so i'm interested in your info. Thanks!

Great.. I would be interesting to find a way to vacuum seal store bought jars.. Used the following methods.. Dennie vac system..jar in vacuum canister quick release method..Commercial chamber vacuum sealer.. it broke the jar.. kindness Lochness Scottish Highlands..

Thank you for making this video! You helped give me the confidence to try glass canning lids. I will not be going back to disposable lids again! I have approximately 200 old glass ball regular mouth and 50 glass wide mouth now also using the bale style. The success rate is fantastic. Thank you again for putting out the information

I like this idea because it takes up a small amount of storage space 😊

This is an excellent tutorial! 😊😊😊

That was so cool!!! Thanks

I have an 8 qt Mirro Pressure cooker / canner. I was hesitant about using as a canner, but after watching your video, I'm gonna give it a go... only video I could find with the vintage, Mirro!! Thank You.

Thanks for the great info. 😊. In 1906 in San Francisco California the Kerr glass canning factory survived this terrible earthquake. The damage was all around the factory but nothing was broken in the factory.

I have baskets of lids that are rusty. I don't really need them but I was thinking of soaking in molasses and zinc or nickel plating them one day.

Mercury oxide is used in the manufacture of polyethylene.

I can not get the lid off. I tried a can opener and a bottle opener. Do you have any ideas? Luckily I just used water in the jar to try.

I came across someone selling these glass lids with the zink rings , they asking a dollar a lid I’m pretty stoked

She got all-dun-up for the occasion. Fabulous SWEETS!!

Oh sweetheart you to need to come back last video was a year ago your knowledge is priceless. Help the helpless. Blessings!

my question would be how to open the glass lids without chipping them

Can you use the tattler rubber seals on the glass lids?

I know this is an older video but can anyone suggest on how to clean the zinc cap lids with the glass liners? I have a few that are vintage but I need to know the best way to clean them TYIA

I love the bonnet, apron and then carhardt pants!!! Hahahaha!

I found rubber gaskets on lehman's

This was just what I needed! Girl, I got it bad too 😂

you mention you can measure the rubber seals and have them made. can you share where? thank you!

Thank you. I have dozens of zinc lids to try to use.

Great video! I'm just starting to get into canning and I love the idea of reducing waste! Thanks for sharing your experience and info! What should I look for so far as brand and size for a glass lid for a modern wide mouth mason jar? There's the Ball no 10 for regular mouth modern jars. Did Ball also make a glass lid that fits modern wide mouth jars?

I know this is an older video but I have found there are two kinds of viceroy rubbers. One is kind of orangish in colour and the other is more reddish. I have great success with the darker reddish and less seals with the orange ones. I don’t know why.

Great info! Thank you!

How do I tell if I have a seal on a zinc porcelin lined lid? And where can I get the wide rims for glass lids please?

Listen lady, you got me started with vintage canning! I need more videos!!!

Watched this video, got on FB marketplace and found a lot of quart sized wire bail jars... 43 with lids and 6 without. All in great condition, paid about $1.50 each. Now I just need to find some seals and some stuff to can in them. Where do you find good deals on food to can ? I figured cranberries would be on sale around this time but seems they're holding out for the winter holidays yet. Also you mentioned some canning groups you are a part of l, could you share where those are? Thank you!!

Simply Amazing, thank you for sharing

Oh different, havent seen this type of canner before, Thank you for sharing

Birthday Wishes to your granny, Thanks for the video

Is there anyplace you know of that makes and sell new were bales? Bales are all rusty and weak. My mother left me a ton of those type of jars. My wife gave away all my regular type canning jars to a ex girlfriend of mine. The ex girlfriend has passed away and so did my jars.

@ 25:10 - Jar boobies! Fantastic info!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!

@23:10 - It's from Aug 27 2021? And it's already gone bad?? It's only Oct 2022, and youtube shows this video as having been uploaded 8 months ago, which would have been Feb 2022, only 6 months after canning! Why would it have gone bad so fast??

I also have a little 6q canner. I'm new to pressure canning and would love to see more videos of your 6q cooker. It seems there isn't much information on micro canning. Everyone seems to think 6q is to small. Happy to find this video, great job. I'll deffinalty be copying this one!

Precious!!!!!

Wow !!!!!! Am going to try this!!!!! 🙂🙂🙂🙂
