There seem to be more people canning than ever before
Elizabeth Andress, National Center for Home Food Preservation
We are blessed...our stores have jars and canning supplies....
I got some lids online. Overpriced but I was able to get 200 lids for next year. Ill but more if I fi d better prices
Have you tried tattler lids? I use those and Ball lids. I have had some tattlers come unseal, so I dont use them on all my canned goods. But they say I did it wrong.
No jars or lids around here all summer. I have 30 cases of jars, different sizes, so I'm okay there. I've bought lids twice locally and paid too much.
I can't buy a freezer locally either. I want a new chest type in the 20cuft range but I'd have to get on a back order list.
I waited all summer to get a vacuum sealer also.
Where online BacP?
Did you get the attachment that seals jars? I've had no luck finding that piece.
I use tattlers. Not for all but some. I had a few years ago some that came unsealed months later. The company told me to finger tight ring, process, after sitting for approx 3 mins to vent, tighten ring. I didnt let them vent. You cant use them if you dont pressure can or boil bath.Meer, I can't find where I got the lids from. It was just a pop up ad on some other site I was looking at. I did get what I ordered in about 10 days.
Sorry
Does anyone use Tattler lids? We have some, but never have tried them. Do we need to use them to practice? Or do they act pretty much like Ball & Mason lids?

My wife wanted a second all American canner. We bought a really big one the first time. It is on backorder until December but we are on the list.
I haven't used any of the Tattler life but I know people who have. I would recommend practicing with them. It seems that the tightening is different. I thought I was told to finger seal and crank back a notch? I could be wrong. @lilmissy could probably tell you better.Meer, I can't find where I got the lids from.

The hose accessory that came with mine finally broke and replacements are unavailable at this time. I use that feature a lot! There is a YouTube video on how to bypass which I did and am now back in business. I will try to find it and link it.Did you get the attachment that seals jars? I've had no luck finding that piece.
