I have also pressure canned with reused the jars with the original lids. Experimented only a few times and they have sealed up perfectly and the seals held until I opened them. I was concerned about breakage, but it did not happen. I did use pint sized and smaller jars that did not have utensils scraping them ( ie jarred mushrooms). I probably won't do it on a regular basis but if need arises I will. I save all my store-bought food glass jars that have metal lids.

Well, lemme tell you, my mother NEVER threw away a mayonnaise jar, and we went through Hellmann's like you wouldn't believe. I'm old, and Moma has been gone for over 35 years and I still use some of those jars. Generally for water bath tomatoes, but when you couldn't find new jars the other year I used them for pressure canning, too. I also still use some of the glass lid/wire bail jars, as well. Heavy suckers, next to today's jars. I think of my mother and great aunts whenever I use any of those jars.

I have reused pickle/jelly like jars. I did an experiment with it on my channel. I don't put the new canning lids on them, I use the lids that came with them and 95% of the jars have resealed and I have had no problem with them! I do only use them for water bath canning and have never had any break on me. I've recanned ketchup, spaghetti sauce and relish from bulk, used these types of jars [Most of them I got from people giving them away for free online, because like you, I don't have many jars to re use] and they have all worked great! Most of my jellies and Jams are in these types of jars! Thanks for answering this question and taking time to talk about it! People need to reuse and save as much as possible now a days. We may not be able to get jars at all pretty soon, you never know.

The only difference I've found between these reused jars and the specific canning jars is that you can't shock them with super hot material being put into cold.jars and the lids of the reused jars are only good for 1 or 2 reuses before the seal starts coming off.

I reused the big non mason jars for dry goods. Pop an oxygen obsorber in and you're good to go. I also have reused all the classico pasta sauce jars from Costco/Sam's that actually have a rim that the canning lid and band will fit. I have reused those jars several times in the canner and waterbath and have never had a problem. I was always told if the jar is smooth with no writing...waterbath only. If it has raised lettering on the jar it is tempered glass and you can use it for canning or waterbath. I wish I could remember where I heard that from. The only time I've ever had a jar break was once and it was a ball jar that was new. Everyone has to do what works for them. I have often wondered why they changed all the jars to plastic and the glass ones left were made so canning lids wouldn't fit them. Makes you wonder if they didn't want us reusing ANYTHING involving preserving our own food and such. Back in the day, my husband and myself remember people that saved mayo and peanut butter jars and only canned with them. I believe in always being safe. But, I also believe you should at least test something. I don't always believe everything I'm told about what does work and won't. I like to test it myself. Some may call that foolishness.

When you were talking about old jars it made me think of old feed sacks. Companies used to use them because women wanted them for quilting and sewing. It was a great marketing idea. Then when paper bags became available, no more flour/feedsacks. 😔 Companies used to use good quality glass and we were able to reuse them. Now cheaper glass and plastics (as you stated) are used because it’s easier and cheaper. The lids on our water bottles are so thin now it’s ridiculous. We used to make things to last. Now things are very disposable. I too love to find an estate sale with old jars and also other old household items. I figure if they lasted this long, they’ll survive me. Lol👩🌾💙🦋

In Canada the Atlas Mason jars are still used to jar spaghetti sauce....readily available on the shelves...and the sauce is quite good-many that have sausage/hamburg, etc. in them.

Yes, still available in the US as well (I’m in Michigan). Classico brand I think. I feel like I’m getting a 2-for-1 each time I buy it because the price is comparable to the other brands plus I’m getting a free jar that I can seal with a canning lid. The spaghetti sauce is pretty good and the jars work well for my dehydrated foods. At Sam’s Club the jar is larger than at other stores and costs less per ounce, so I prefer to get it there (32oz instead of 24oz).

I had heard that a person should not use those jars but after watching the commercial canning process I figured if they went through that rough handling they should hold up with my careful handling so I have used mayo jars. I have used the twist off jars with their lids with jams and jelly's. I have never had a problem with them. I have had the regular canning jars break and even have the bottoms fall off in the canner. I never had a commercial jar break. I know I have been blessed in that way. I just found a canning jar that was older and had a rim of protruding glass under the rim. I had to find older rims that were shorter because the longer rims hit that rim and wouldn't tighten down enough to hold the flats.

Great video topic!! Up here in Canada I reuse the Classico and President's Choice spagetti sauce jars for water bath canning. I have also used the lids as well. The volume is in between a pint and a quart. I have reused them continuously for diced tomatoes and pickled asparagus and they have been fantastic. I watch videos of Italian grandmas in Italy using all reused jars and lids from other things to can thier sauces and sometimes they still have the manufacturer's sticker on them and they still work. So I always like to try.

The international mayonnaise and pickle jar association (IMPJA) specifically states under codes A32.1 and A34.7 that used mayonnaise and pickle jars may only be repurposed for nuts, bolts, washers, nails, screws, lightning bugs, and dead rats. A special provision was added in 1986 under code B14.6 that (after it cools) used grease/cooking oil may be poured in to them from a frying pan, sealed with a lid, and tossed into the trash.

I have found that on jars, if there are 3 "nubs" near the bottom rim they are safe for pressure canning if the lids will fit. The Classico spaghetti jars I get from Sam's Club in the three pack work for reusing them for pressure canning but not the individual jars from the grocery store. If I get a bunch of jars from a yard or estate sale, that is what I look for is the 3 "nubs" near the bottom rim and if lids and rings fit them properly, I use them. Otherwise I just use for waterbath or to store dry goods in. They use to make all glass jars that you could reuse from the stores. Then they started making mayo jars thin, and other jars, lids wouldn't fit on them. Such a shame they quit doing that and went to mostly plastic jars.

Jars with a click lid so you can check if they are vacuum are very cheap and very sturdy but because of you I now know they are not suitable for high pressure. My grandmother and her mother did canning out of necessity and because of the low cost. Nowadays, at least in the Netherlands, it is a very expensive hobby! Subscribed!

Actually I cannot swear to when that paraffin went on, but I know it went on as a liquid And did not invade the jam. None of that jam ever went bad, but then maybe that’s because we ate it up so fast.

Twist-off lids are ok to use. New ones can be bought. They come in a few diameters. These are the only type of sealable jar available in Europe. If the lid is deep and tall, or otherwise unusual, then a replacment won't be available. Most products still come in glass. I would never pressurize a jar. I'm afraid of one blowing. They only break if you cool them rapidly. Heating is fine. I've poured hot lard oil (hotter than water can be) into a jar. The companies probably also fill them hot.

Right, wrong, use your own discretion, it’s what I do…. But I’ve read for good storage to can water for just in case. There has been many times that when pressure canning that I have space for a jar or 2, so I have begun keeping Aldi organic spaghetti sauce jars that have been cleaned, of course. I fill with water and use the original lid and use it to fill the space. I then keep these jars for water for emergencies. I’ve had no problems and I’m not out anything if it breaks or the seal doesn’t work. Haven’t had any issues but it’s an idea for uses of jars instead of throwing them away… I also use the jars that can fit a 2 lid seal for vacuum sealing and storage of dried goodies such as pasta, rice and beans.

According to the experts: "Half-gallon canning jars are available from at least one canning jar manufacturer. That manufacturer indicates that half-gallon jars should only be used for highly acidic foods in a boiling water canner. Their recommended choices are grape juice and apple juice. The USDA, Clemson Extension and the University of Georgia’s National Center for Home Food Preservation recommend process times only for very acidic fruit juices in half-gallon jars (and for only juice, not fruit). These process times should not be used for tomato juice or other juices."

Even the quart size mayonnaise jars are plastic. And some jars that might work you can't get the original food smell out of them.

The only glass jars I have found are the 32 oz Classico jars. The 24 oz ones say mason but lids don’t fit.

I meant to say the only glass jars I've found that work with the canning lids are Classico 32 oz.

Many years ago, when I realized all the plastic containers we were getting. I started saving glass jars, still do. I use larger ones for storage, such as cookies, sugar, flour, whatever is needed.

Here in Canada lots of pasta sauce comes in MASON jars. After use you just need to use the 2 piece mason lid and ring. Good way to get free mason canning jars. Also you can use these or mayo jars for dry canning with the foodsaver lid sealer

@Jewel Briard wouldn’t that be great if all foods went back into glass jars and also mason jars exclusively? Talk about the recycling potential.

If the jar sealed at the factory then the rim is straight. I think that the usda pressure canning is destroying the nutients in our canned food.

They use those type of jars in England and they reuse jar and lids.

…..??????? This is a good one for you. I have at least 10 boxes of Bisquick and I know they are expired. What can we do to be able to use them. BS. Or BP. That would be a good video.

Probably fine. Just check for bugs.

Hello. You did a video about expired cake mixes. What to add to them to use them now. I looked for the video but can’t find it. Was it BP or BS to add to the expired cake mixes.

Why do you have to use the two piece lids? If you bought new lids identical to the old lids, would that work?
@PrepperPotpourri2 жыл бұрын
The only lids tested by the National Preservation Center are the lid and ring traditionally used for canning.

Question: I was making and eating "pickled" eggs, simply marinating boiled and peeled eggs in beet pickle juice. I still have 3 jars that are 2 years old in the fridge. Any chance these are safe?

I do all my canning in mayonnaise jars. Heat jars in microwave, lids in boiling water. Fill jars with heated ingredients, seal and let stand on lid side till cooled. I have had NO issues.

In the wasteland there is no waste. There still will be botulism so use common sense and science. Do they not flash boil all industrial glass jars before filling with food stuffs? Great explanation PP

Hello, I am a beginner with canning. Right at the beginning. Re lids: Do they need to be two piece lids? Re pressure cooker: if the manual of the pressure cooker, does not mention anything about canning, is it still safe to use for canning? Thanks very much for your help. 🙂
@PrepperPotpourri2 жыл бұрын
The National Food Preservation has only tested and approved the 2 piece lids. No, it is not safe to use a regular pressure canner for canning. It must be a model manufactured for canning.
@debbiebenson95442 жыл бұрын
@@PrepperPotpourri Thank you so much. Your instructions are so far the easiest. I really appreciate it. I am living in the UK and not many people even heard of canning meat. Even went to farms, much less in a shop. 🙄
