Reusable Canning Lids are awesome!

[captain belly]

As most people who can their garden veggies know, there is a HUGE shortage in canning lids. Since COVID, people are starting to take interest in survival skills and self-reliance. The interest in gardening and canning has taken it's toll on the canning lid availability. Canning lids are the new 'toilet paper". I have a good stock, but I decided to buy the reusable canning lids as a backup plan. Most folks don't know how to use them, so I made a video. They really are "installed" a little different than traditional disposable lids. Hope this helps someone out.

When all the morons were buying tp, I bought canning lids and propane (it's all about the food lots of things can be tp). Shortly thereafter, I also purchased Tattlers. I like them but have to remember that I am using them and it's not the same process. You can also use them for vacuum sealing food which I very much appreciate. I always felt like that was such a waste of a good lid.

I use my used canning lids for vacuum sealing.

My biggest problem with the Tattlers is that the kid can never remember where she puts the rubber ring! I bought lots of spares but someday I'm going to find a big stack of them in some odd place that made sense to her at the time.

Great video. You can also check the Tattler lids for a concave appearance just like the metal lids. It is less obvious and my first few times I set a lid on an empty jar for comparison.

I just saw this and thought it may help someone who's having issues with their tattlers.

I've still been on the lookout for that toolybob thingy.

Thanks for the post, I just ordered some lids and a set of 8 church keys (I think they will work as openers). I like the idea of having a reusable option.
