Thank you both so much. I knew about the family dispute and the non compete clause which is why harvest guard seem to pop up out of nowhere. I bought original tattler from a farm and ranch store about a year ago. I contacted both companies to learn what you just showed. Tattler company is the only one to respond but did not know the difference in the lids because of what I said earlier. I just ordered 500 more wide mouth tattler and 100 regular. This order will be the ez seal so a new learn for me. Harvest guard still 4 months later has never responded to my inquiry on the difference. P.s. Heather and Paul you can soak lids in effevecent tablet to remove stains works really well. Happy canning love you both.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

YOU ARE BRILLIANT! I am pinning your comment so it can help others with their lid stains! hahaha THANK YOU!!!!

Sweet! Thanks for that info about the effervescent Tablets!

[@itzims5248]

@@TheKneadyHomesteader I don't use anything special to remove red tomato stains. I do it the "free" way. I use sun light. Just put the lids in a sunny window, and the stains will vanish! Works on clothing too!!!!

So I am still confused how do I know side-by-side if I have an old tatler lid and a newer tatler lid what will it say on the actual top?

I think tattler saw your video. I got a laminated smaller instruction sheet with my recent order lol

[@happyrapture1370]

I only have ever had Harvest Guard lids but as Paul said the customer service is amazing. They are so very kind to you. I spoke with the owner when I ordered my lids and he was amazing. He told me the story about how these lids came about. How it had been his dad's dream, he gave his dad all the credit. Anyway I just wanted to share about the company's customer service, it truly was a very plesent phone call. Of course it was early last summer and before all this other. I would also like to have the red lids. God bless.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

Paul really praised their customer service which definitely factors into the equation for me!

[@throttle4593]

I LOVE to hear stories like this. I will always support a business with good customer service if there is a choice.

I only have the Harvest Guard lids, this is my first year canning, and I love the lids. I have never had an issue with them. Love them.

I just used some for the first time, had 1 fail but all had much more syphoning than the metal lids. Any thoughts?

I contacted both Tatler and Harvest Guard today. Harvest Guard said that their gaskets are only good for 6 to 8 uses tops, while Tatler said that their gaskets last from 12 to 15 years. And remember, the owner of Harvest guard is the son of the owner/originator of Tatler, so they clearly have an understanding that there is a difference in the teo, even though the customer can barely tell with our eye test.

[@nestpeeper]

I have both. I have not had a problem with interchanging gaskets. The Tat's do fine with HG gaskets and the HG do fine with Tat gaskets. I haven't noticed a difference in function between the 2 brands either. I'm also a fan of the info card from HG vs the page from Tattler. The info card is more for sure more professional.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

Yeah, Tattler needs to step up their game with the info card! Interested in knowing if you have the old tattlers or new ez seal design?

[@nestpeeper]

@@TheKneadyHomesteader I have the ez seal Tat's. I don't see a difference in color on my seals. I'm thinking if that could be just a difference in suppliers or age? Were they both used in PC or WB? Do you know if the seals you compared had been used the same amount of times? Both companies say the seals will loose shape over time as they wear. Could the differences you saw be due to age and usage?

[@vbachman6742]

Great video. Thank you. The difference between the format of the instructions may be because the son is more savvy about presentation and more comfortable with technology. The father is more old school. This may not reflect the quality of the products or of the companies, just that the owners are of different generations.

[@l.k.m.2324]

I agree. But I'm curious as to what will happen to tattlers if the father passes? Will they no longer be available ? Either way I ordered a sample from both to try out.

Thank you for the information! I have been interested in Tattler Lids for a long time. I purchased a lot of ball lids at the beginning of the pandemic, because I anticipated a shortage. So glad I did this but I found I am still running short with meats and dried beans left to can. This forced me to invest in Tattler lids. I researched both companies and decided on Tattler. But I am with you Heather,I still would like to purchase the red lids when they are back in stock. So I will keep them separate. Thank you Heather and Paul for doing the leg work. I am excited to try these new lids out!

I also bought extra gaskets in case we have a hard time get things due another epidemic. Thank you for the video

Interesting, I just ordered from Harvest Guard, and previously had Tattlers, just wanted to add but didn't realize there were differences. My gaskets are the same color!! If I put a Harvest Guard gasket on my Tattler, there is no difference in the fit. Thanks for showing the differences :)

[@anetzband1383]

Thank you for this video. I had never heard of Harvest Guard, but have boxes of Tattler in my drawers unused because of fear of non sealing. Since regular lids are hard to come by, I am determined to try the Tattler. I laughed looking at the Tattler "Mimeo" sheet vs. the card stock Harvest instruction card. It screamed "older man" and "son" to me. I'm going to go look for some of your Tattler videos now to see how I should do this. THANK you again.

[@marthahansen6123]

I have used Tattler lids for a few years for jam, relish and tomatoes, never had a problem. Have some relish from 2015 and the seal is still good. Water bath canning, not pressure canning.

[@Qwazier3]

I ordered the Harvest Guard 2 weeks ago because there were no regular lids to be found and was contacted 2 days later telling me they were back ordered. I could wait and get a 10% discount or I could get my money back. I chose to wait. Never did this type of lid before. I'm afraid to do pressure canning with these lids because of having to crank them down right after getting them out. But I'm willing to try this lid. Just beeeeeecause....( =

[@user-ll5oj4eo1g]

I was really scared to use them too, I had failures on my first canning (I think second time ever canning too!) but I still had about 70% seals. We have eaten them now (beans) and no one is dead. HTH

[@jo-anndigennaro9137]

Thank you and Paul. I am subscribed to both of you and enjoyed this video immencely. The two of you make a great team like Burns and Allen. I do have some tatlers but never used them just because of the plastic lid. I always used a glass lid from my grandma. Otherwise I used all metal lids from Ball. I am not happy with them either. The old lids were much better. The newer ones don't store for long. I'm not doing much canning these days only occasionally. I'm getting to old to do all that work.

The center parts the flats for these kinds of lids were GLASS back in the day & you could use the rubber gasket with a metal ring to do water bathing & pressure canning. Plus those gaskets were also used for crocks & jars with binders to store foods too. They weren't plastic!!

[@elizabethcope1502]

I got a box of the glass ones @ a thrift for $3 or $5, I'm not sure. They were different sizes.

[@thewoodenspoon9679]

A brilliant comparison!! Thank you!!

[@LuciaMc]

Firstly, Thank you so much for a great comparison/explanation of both companies' lids. Secondly, I finally got Tattler wide mouths, because the current situation left me without metal lids (dang I should have realized when seed companies went to sold-out mode) and we have a small farm here to can everything edenic heirloom (plus hunted meats) for 10 months of good eating in the larder. Thirdly, I found that I could buy direct from Tattle-ordered large quantities. Oh! more research- I ordered large from Harvest Guard too. Backwards researching here {{frown}}. But lastly, and I do NOT want this to come across as criticism, but just a helpful hint--for filming, the counter has a bad glare. I have found using a black felt sheet or dark material is a god-send to place everything on as it absorbs light and you can see what you are filming more clearly. Keep up the great helps you share! God Bless, Lucia :)

[@audreyabbott7806]

Great video! The difference in the ring/gasket color may be because the Tattler may be natural rubber latex. They look very similar to the Weck rings. I just contacted Weck yesterday to inquire and was informed that their rings are natural rubber latex and they do not consider any other ring to be safely interchangeable. The Harvest Guard rings are definitely Nitrile as listed on their website. This is very important if you or anyone you can for is latex allergic like me.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

A few folks said that tattlers are nitrile. they are definitely not the same feel as my weck or le' parfait gaskets.

I just got my order of Harvest Guard last night ( Sept 16) Not impressed - they come in a zip lock bag, the finish of the lids is poor, there are little chips on the outer portion, little chips the gasket appear to cover the whole thing, so I don't believe it should be an issue. Its like they are manufactured like a model car or airplane, all the parts are on a grid and you need to snap or cut them off, in this case as I said already it left chips and nicks. So disappointed, and because Im in Canada they cost a fair bit, but my thinking at the time, they would pay for themselves over time. And there was no instruction card in the box, just a couple of ziplock style bags filled with lids and gaskets.

we couldnt do that in this video. we had just received our lids. something like that takes a lot of time. many canning sessions and many months of having both lids in your pantry, on jars, to see how they hold up. we are all in the same boat here. i will say my tattlers are sealing well and holding up beautifully!

I have harvest guard ordered, but they are on backorder. My thoughts on harvest guard being thinner, that may be better.

They seem to work but after years of caning it is a bit different not hearing them pop . also when i go to check them a month or so later i like just pushing on lid to see if i hear the tin flex and pop . the tattlers i need to pick up by the lid to check .

I did notice with the HG gasket rings, that they left a tiny gap just like the one you showed when you mixed the two brands together. This worried me a bit, but I've been checking every couple days and so far the seals are holding like the first day. I wonder whether the slight size difference is not just a matter of the natural expansion/contraction of the rubber at different room temps? The HG lids were brought in from outside-maybe warmer; maybe cooler? At any rate, my experience thus far is that the gap wasn't a problem. I'll bet the two systems interchange just fine.

Thank you for showing this comparison back in November I can two jars of meat with Tattler and so far they have stayed sealed last week I started canning with my Harvest guard they sealed great but after about four to five days one by one they're losing their seal not all of them. Each day I seem to be losing one jar and the day before it was sealed has anyone else had this problem

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

i have not had this issue. I would call the company and see what they say. they may have advice!

Do not buy Harvest Guard lids in bulk without trying them first. After following all their instructions I got about 60% failure rate and emailed the company. With every emailed suggestion, I followed the directions very carefully and could not get better than 50%, which I only got once. Unfortunately I had ordered in bulk after watching all the wonderful KZbin videos raving about the reusable lids. By the time my canning season came around I had passed their return/refund deadline. Buyer Beware!

That was a fabulous comparison from two exceptional canners! (and most likely) the BEST! thank you, thank you! love you both!!!

I ordered 3 dozen regular and wide mouth tattlers. They haven't shipped yet. I looked at the harvest guard site when I was deciding what to buy I couldn't find a price difference so I went with tattler because I know the name and I've watched so many people can with them.

Don't forget extra gaskets if you are planning for long term use without more supplies! My mother reminded me today so I had to make another order from the Tattler site. 69.00 for 100 gaskets of each size, total.

[@patriciasmith5336]

both companies have lids designed by the Stieg family. Something happened a few years ago where Tattler moved. Then moved back and there seemed to be a split. So they are both really the same products.

I have glass tatter lids. The rubber gasket is a little loose on the lid. They work great. You questioned if you could trust the rubber gaskets not exact on the lid. You said you weren't confident interchanging. I also have the zinc lids and rubber gaskets. I think the new gaskets that is sold today aren't the same as the original made. But I canned beans this year & they worked fine. When I couldn't find lids I got out my old canning stuff.

The only instructions I got from tattler were on the boxes

[@paprikaasmr3420]

Great video 🌻

[@nicole1184]

How delightful is this seeing you two together!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@REALYROSEY]

I received no instructions with my Harvest Guard. Just lids and rubber gaskets in plastic in box.

[@paprikaasmr3420]

Back again 🌻🌶

[@skylark7032]

can these be used in pressure canners? I see that they can withstand heat up to 250F but that's exactly the temp needed to pressure can low acid foods. Any feedback appreciated!

[@sandycox29]

Prayers sent.

[@vickicoleman758]

I notice the mark on the gasket, which I assume indicates it has been used one time. To be honest mine are harvest guard lids and gaskets and I noticed right away that my second use gaskets are a little bigger than originally sized. I feel they stretch as a rubber band would since it has been heated and boiled and compressed.

[@karenrolling2174]

I just want to say Thank you to both of you. I started canning again this year and also joined a group of canners on Facebook. I had no heard of either tattler or harvest guard until a couple of months ago. I am very glad that you made this video comparison. Enjoy your weekend

[@kimberlybush9160]

I wanted to know if I ever would have to order gaskets again ? I know tattler says you don’t have to and harvest guard says after 8 years and just wondering if they are the same enough to truly both be long lasting or if I will need to get more gaskets eventually?

[@annabanana1113]

I used harvest guard for first time, had 1 fail and ALL had much more syphoning than metal lids. :(

[@artsymamanana]

Your lids may have been too tight, by a tiny bit. It is a learning curve, unfortunatly

[@charlenebrady9225]

Thanks for sharing 🌟
