Putting up the rice and beans was sooooo easy. My only regret is I could only fit 12 jars in the oven on a cookie tray. Maybe if I used one with no sides I could fit a few more jars in there. My jars are all tucked away on a shelf for later use. DW did tell me to put the lids and rings on loosely when putting the jars in the oven, then tighten them down when you take them out. Then just listen for the “music”.

DW did tell me to put the lids and rings on loosely when putting the jars in the oven, then tighten them down when you take them out.

I'm glad you told me that - I was going to leave the lids off while they were in the oven - so the moisture could escape, I thought. Wasn't there something about boiling the lids to soften the rubber seal?
