CANNING LID LIE.. STOP BUYING NEW ONES

Stop believing the misinformation out there that makes you spend more money when it comes to food preservation
For years I have reused my canning lids
Of course to the dismay of the canning police
Don't believe the people who have an opinion yet have no practical experience
Reusing your lids are safe and doable
And here's why

[@BeverlyJones46]

I have been reusing lids for years also. Good condition, check it is sealed. If it fails put in refrigerator and eat it soon.

[@StarryHilder]

yes you got it

[@AnimalFarm341]

How often do you check for failure or is it apparent soon after processing? I’m a newbie

[@resourcefulgirl]

I'm new to canning and appreciate your advice and Starry's!!

[@BeverlyJones46]

It is evident when you don't hear the pop of the vacuum seal or you press the top and it goes down or the lid comes off easily.

[@rachelrodriguez4053]

How do you open the jar without ruining the lid? I'm a newbie and I've opened a can of beans (convenience) but used a knife and of course it bent.

[@kentuckygirl8282]

My mother in law always reuses her lids. Granted, she does need to replace the damaged ones, but she has never had an issue with them. If the jars do not seal, they don't seal. She refrigerates that jar and it gets eaten first. God bless Starry!!

[@mslove9191]

I’m in agreement… I’ve been reusing the same lids for years, I just made sure that the lids were in good condition.

[@lauriekerze3461]

Hate how they rust nowadays.

[@Myspicyonion]

Appreciate this video. So frustrated with buying lids over snd over. Especially when the price goes up

[@susehendricks6217]

In always wondered how people back in the days canned. They didn’t have the supply & manufacturing we have today.

[@StarryHilder]

probably a pot...and jars. you knew they make you believe you need a special water canning pot. not true..I'm gonna do a vid in that

[@resourcefulgirl]

Exactly! I wondered the same. I'm no expert on this so it's a relief to know because I can't find any lids either.

[@arbedreka]

They used tattler like lids...rubber seal separate from lid and ring. Not sure of brand but same concept.

[@arbedreka]

Tattler lids

[@canadaizacorp2203]

With glass lids and rubber rings

[@Stormy4757]

Thank you for stating this. I have been saving all of my old lids if they are in good condition. Good thing I did because I haven't had any luck finding lids. I haven't noticed any failures with the tomatoes, pickles, tomato juice, or meats.

[@melindabanning4497]

The only thing with the new lids is the rubber seal is not as thick as the old ones.

[@StarryHilder]

your 100,% right

[@heavymechanic2]

Some people drop acid if you tell them you have reused canning lids. I had beans lose their seal due to food particles under the lid, clean them and reprocess, sealed like a champ.. I started using reusable plastic lids [Featured by Jill Winger] and after watching her trials with water, the lids work well and I never had any fail by adding a little extra head space.

[@Mrsmetamorphosis2012]

Yup reseal n if it doesn’t seal after canning that day. Eat n enjoy n throw away the lid🤷🏾‍♀️no loss here. 😎

[@747TheCaptain]

In central Illinois, it's the lids only, we have an abundance of lids with rings.

[@adessachui7777]

😂 They are Deliberately doing this! It's on Purpose!

[@barliegirl5374]

I subscribe to that but.....thing is......I haven’t yet mastered opening a lid without a ‘ding’. I even purchased a lid opener. 🤦‍♀️. Almost newby, but not quite.

[@kycatrescue7305]

I have the same problem. I've watched some people just pry it off with their fingernails, but I cannot seem to do that without nearly breaking my fingers! I've been canning for many years so not just a newby problem.

[@awakealex7541]

I'm a newbie and also have no idea how to remove the lid without damaging it. A quick video would be great! Maybe I will look later

[@StarryHilder]

I remove with a Can open VERY CAREFULLY

[@dmay7648]

Can opener has a bottle opener that pops it off very easy with no damage.

[@christiegooding7384]

@@dmay7648 I never thought of that, what a great idea!

[@lanabisson2675]

Ive done this a little and only a couple of failures. I also reuse botton top for things like jams jellies and relish.

[@kleineroteHex]

I am in the process of cleaning out my basement, rings galore!!! Also have plenty lids and grab an extra box when I see them. I have also reused lids, plus used lids work great for vacuum packing.

[@johngabriele6532]

Ma’am 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 bless you I needed to know this THANK YOU

[@lonewolfsurvival3453]

Wow, your shelves are packed Starry! Our canning shelves up here in the NW are E-M-P-T-Y. No jars even. Now, I definitely agree with reusing your lids as long as they are in proper condition, but I would like to add a suggestion if I may? I do a lot of pickling and I STRONGLY advise people to keep any lids that have been used for pickling separate from the other lids, because vinegar leeches into the lid seal and will not come out and whatever you can with these lids will take on that pickled flavor. So, mark those ones and keep them separate. I learned this lesson a couple years ago when I opened a jar of brown sugar to put on my oatmeal and, let me tell you something.....that was the most awful brown sugar you could imagine lol! It tasted like sweet vinegar and it took me a bit to realize how that happened. **EDIT** I don't throw away my pickled lids, I mark them and save them for future pickling projects.

[@adessachui7777]

Yeah we are completely empty in PA too. I guess it's not too hard to see who they are coming for first. PA and pets. Apparently they want us to buy this stuff online 🙄

[@alex31p]

Yup for years reusing my lids if not dinged or bent. Put them through a hot water bath prior to canning. Also reuse lids for dry oven canning, and vacuum sealing dehydrated foods.

[@waterisgold]

Thank you beautiful sister♥️🙏👩‍🌾🌱🙌

[@AnimalFarm341]

I literally haven’t seen any lids in the stores for a good year now. I have a ton of jars, I just need lids.

[@adessachui7777]

Serious question. You can't get them online? I'm wondering if they are deliberately telling some states they don't have any. I saw a lot of those comments and then I found them online. PA stores are empty for the most part: like very little canning stuff.

[@LoriHall-db2mq]

​@@adessachui7777There are supplies in my area of Pa

[@rosegarcia8434]

You lucky Wal-Mart hear is always almost empty

[@mosilver1572]

Great info, only two hours late for me! I always heard that you could only use the lids one time with the pressure canner. I am new to canning, and never see the lids in stores. Well, I found some tonight, so I bought some. No harm,they will probably good to have around, but I definitely won't throw any away just because they've been used before.

[@oneacrehomestead1776]

I would agree, as long as they seal you are fine. The worst case would be they don't seal and you redo your work, or even worse they pop their seals later on and its too late to redo and the food gets wasted.

[@jesskan9828]

I found a bunch at the Amish bulk store!

[@JoannaMuse]

Agreed. I reuse lids. And, if they get funky looking they can still be used for dry canning and storing.

[@erainasmith2532]

Hi Starry I’m glad to see that your gets back to some form of preservation videos. I wish you could put out a video on the same subject matter but kinda like a show and tell with the lids and how to stack properly to avoid those pitfalls spoiled food buckled lids etc. There are a lot of myths out there. Regarding these two issues. I know your an evangelist but if u could do a short video on it. It would really help to debunk and close the door on the chapter Blessings!

[@melissaohlrich2418]

Thank you. I ha e been looking for lids and feeling hopeless. I have to be able to feed my children.

[@dmay7648]

Sometimes it fails from too much siphoning or head space issue. I wipe clean and try again, then eat it if it didn’t work. Been using the same lids for over 5 years now.

[@slomo1716]

ABSOLUTED CORRECT!!! Who came up with the LID SCAM?? I grew up on a farm and my mother CANNED everything in sight! If the lid wasn't rusty, bent or didn't hold the seal we tossed it! Otherwise we used the same lids year after year after year.

[@bonnied3550]

Thank you Starry for all your wise tips, greatly appreciated 😃👍🏼

[@MrKen-longrangegrdhogeliminato]

I remember the rubber like gasket and the glass lid for the jars.

[@MrKen-longrangegrdhogeliminato]

I heard that using the Tattler gasket ring works well on the used tin lids.

[@keiladavis]

I feel like they made an over abundance of jars and now they are holding the lids because thy need us to buy the jars! I am in boise Idaho

[@JohnSaylock-ec4cd]

I'm currently switching over to tattler lids. They work great so long as you use them properly.

[@p.j.5539]

Hi Starry !! I found you again !! Change phones and everything got messed up. Oddly, I was still subscribed to you. I last kept up with you during your accident and “ other” troubles and was struggling to find you. Thought you left. ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏 so happy to see you. Now I must catch up

[@monat57]

I recently started canning pears and I reused some lids and notice some of them had rusted

[@HzFvr]

Thank you Starry for your knowledge and encouragement! 🙏♥️

[@StarryHilder]

you are so awesomely welcomed

[@LoriHall-db2mq]

Check your new jars. I just bought a case of Ball jelly jars and the glass is warped. The seam going up the side is off.

[@elizabethcope1502]

Besides Starry's videos, there are others that reuse lids. God bless.

[@northgeorgiamom8956]

I’ve been re-using them for 30 years!!!!

[@dukeman8481]

Well you're lucky to have all those jars in stock, my area almost all store ran out of quart size Ball mason jars, just the pint left.

[@kyebo1776]

Everything to be self sufficient will disappear bc that's the plan, to make u depend on the harlot more and more.

[@terrijob7818]

Amen!

[@mslove9191]

Amen!!!!

[@cathyorendorf]

I don't can, but... I do vaccum seal food and other items in mason jars. I wanted to use my ball lids for vacuum sealing oui yogurt jars, but it usually didn't usually work there was a minute size difference, and I found a solution. My husband has one of those scanners on his arm to test his blood sugar but it wouldn't stay on because of things he does on the job. We bought yoyofox adhesive patches for the freestyle libre and put them over the scanner. While putting one of those patches on my husband I wondered if they would work on the canning lid, and it did. Now I can use the ball jar lids with my oui yogurt jars. If you try this be sure to put the sticky side on the lid and then peel off the other side before wrapping the edges around the lid.

[@mikekmalick]

I have a question for you sis! Do you really need to put citric acid in when canning tomatoes? To me the citric acid ruins the taste of my beautiful organic heirloom tomatoes!

[@future.homesteader]

If you don't want to use citric acid you could pressure can tomatoes by using the make your own soup directions.

[@playdiscgolf1546]

Nothing works better for Bud

[@patchofheavenhomestead8793]

Can you use wax to seal on the rim?

[@StarryHilder]

If you're talking about the old-fashioned way of using wax absolutely

[@helennelmes7560]

Thank you Starry!

[@StarryHilder]

your welcome

[@mikehikes710]

I use them and I dent them all the time for pressure inside the jars cuz I leave gas in them to create crystals and I still reuse them all the time

[@RidgeHavenHomestead]

I’d be totally open to reusing mine, but I guess we are just cavemen, because our lids get dinged no matter how careful I try to open them. Tips for that, please!! I did also invest in Harvest Guard reusable.

[@StarryHilder]

Well if the ding isn't having an effect on the seal itself sitting on the glass Rim then it's okay I've used some that has dings on it too and I've just let them out you know the the lead metal is very very flexible you can try that

[@RidgeHavenHomestead]

@@StarryHilder Ok! We seem to dent the lid taking it off. I use a knife or a flat edge can opener and it bends it a bit.

[@rebeccagrimsley7260]

I have reused lids and store bought pickles jars and lids.

I use the better quality lids, the thicker ones, and then reuse them for beans, fruit, etc.

[@primrozie]

Thanks Stacey!

[@Thea_MojaveOutliersWhipmakers]

Oh. Okay, I'll take a look into that next time I can.

[@loricreech5944]

Hey Starry can you do a video on canning using GULF WAX? Thanks for calming my spirit, about this issue. I seem to be second guess at times.

[@StarryHilder]

Yeah I know about second-guessing but it's good that I do these videos because I've been there done that so no more second-guessing.

[@conqueryourfuture6134]

[@arbedreka]

Starry...what state and store you in?

[@pattylilly873]

How do you open up without denting the lid????

[@lakeeffectfarm1399]

There are multiple ways but I just lay a butter knife flat across the edge of the lid and gently open with a bottle opener/church key. By pressing down on the knife with the bottle opener instead of the lid you don't dent it.

[@michaelmarage415]

Starry, can you wash the lids in the dish washer? God Bless

[@StarryHilder]

Yeah you can absolutely wash them in the dishwasher no problem

When I'm done with a lid there's just a pile of ash. Drum roll, cymbals.....😺
