Does anyone on this group use "Golden Harvest" seals.
My wife found them for $1 a box at a dollar store but we're a little concerned about their quality. Any thoughts on them? Thanks in advance. Chuck |

Chuck We have used them in the community kitchen that I facilitate. They sealed. I am not sure whether they are still being made, if you can check the date and they are quite old, I wouldn't use them. We are paying, here in Vancouver, any where from $1.49 to almost $2.00 for standard sized and much more for wide mouth these days. Ellen |

They're very good. I use Golden Harvest jars, seals and rings all the
time and have had a lower failure rate than with the other brands. Go for them but a $1.00 a box is higher than they sell for at the local Big Lots, try 79 cents here.

I use Golden Harvest almost exclusively. I like the fact that the
lids don't have anything printed on them, so I have plenty of room for writing. I've never had any problems.

Chuck I had about a 1 in 10 failure rate the one time I bought them. It was from the 99 cent store so maybe they were old. I have about a 1 in 100 failure rate from the Ball or Kerr lids, but I hear it's all the same company now. Still, I won't use them again unless there's no other choice. It was nice having all that blank space to write on though. Cyndi |

I use them all the time. In fact, I just came back from Big Lots where
I bought 9 boxes of the regular lids for $0.99 each. If the canning jar cases are an indication, Golden Harvest belongs to the Mason company.
