Reusable Canning Lids
Has anyone used the Tattler reusable canning lids? I am curious if they are
worth buying. Here's their link http://www.reusablecanninglids.com/ Don |

Here's an interesting review, http://www.rural-revolution.com/2010...ning-lids.html there are many reviews on line, most I read said they were okay but you MUST follow directions. |

I read her review. Just my humble opinion: I don't like the idea of the lids that are touching the product being plastic. We keep hearing that many of the plastics that were once touted as safe or inert are really harmful to humans on a cellular level. Many of them leach unsafe compounds. With the probable multiplier effect of the heat of processing and the presence of an acid in the jars, I just don't trust plastic to be long-term safe. gloria p |

At the time we thought what a great idea plus, they were on sale for about half price. After our first attempt at canning using the new lids, we had a pretty good idea of why they were on sale. It was a real PITA trying to keep the rubber rings flat and in position on the jar while putting on the screwbands. It slowed down the whole process plus the seal failure rate was higher. As much as I grump at the constantly increasing price of Bernardin's one piece, single use lids, their frustration factor is much lower than the stainless steel reusable lids we tried. Just my opinion and, as always, YMMV. Ross Southern Ontario, Canada. |

Go here to see what type of materials they use in their reusable lids and gaskets: http://www.reusablecanninglids.com/BpaFree.aspx |

The Tattler peeps say specifically their product is free of BPA and that what they do use is FDA- and USDA-blessed. <shrug> <http://www.reusablecanninglids.com/BpaFree.aspx> -- Barb, http://web.me.com/barbschaller September 5, 2011 |

The initial > investment isn't cheap, I think. JMO. At $27.95 for 36 lids and gaskets you're right, they're not cheap. But, if you get ten uses from one lid and gasket you end up paying 7 cents per lid and gasket, that's fairly cheap. If I were to use them I would not gift the jars to someone that wouldn't give me the rings, lids, and gaskets back. I've got more than 400 lids on hand at the moment so don't anticipate buying any Tattler for the near future. Maybe next year or the one after. Nice to hear the folks up in Southern Canada are still around Barb. How's the preparations for the next state fair going? |

I never knew there were reusable lids but my mind thinks they aren't a
good idea....I picture all that hard work going to waste when the lids don't seal......so far I've been lucky and had only 4 that the seal failed in more than 14 years....Carol |
