Canning Jar lids
2 Piece canning lids
Canning Jar lids are one thing that are not reuseable. At
least not the whole thing. They consist of 2 pieces, a screw
band and a flat cap or lid. They come in two sizes to match
canning jars, regular and wide mouth.
The lid is a flat metal disc with a rubber seal around the bottom edge
which sits agains the jar and forms the all important seal.
The screw band fits over the lid and screws down to hold the
flat lid in place. When placing your screw band you need to
screw it down firmly against the lid but you do not need to be too
forceful. Finger tight is fine.
As the food in the jar is being processed oxygen will be pushed out of
the jar. As the food cools the lid will be sucked down and
the rubber seal will form a tight seal protecting the food from any
further contamination.
Canning jar lids can be found most anywhere canning supplies are sold.
By far the best price I have found is at Lehmans.

 Do a search
for bulk canning lids. They
have a great deal on these. These are generic brand
and come in brown paper sleeves.
I split my order with a friend and ordered both wide and
narrow mouth
lids. I also purchased a canning rack for my canner. I was
pleased
with my purchases.
I ordered from Lehmans and got my order in a timely manner.
When placing my order I had a question and called the 800
number provided. The answer I got was friendly and helpful. I
like friendly and helpful!
Make
it your ambition to lead a quiet
life and attend to your own business and work with your hands....
