Heard a reference to this site on Glenn Beck's radio show today.

Seems like a good idea.

Sales benefit me not-at-all.

Ha! Thanks for the post.

Heard this guy as well. Very hesitant to plug his site. Glenn had to drag it out of him. I like that. And I think my wife and I will like his product! :)

BTTT!

All that comes to mind is the Monty Python sketch about storage jars. You had to be there.

You just might check recent legislation to find out whether it is still legal to can. You might just end up in Leavenworth for “Intent to can peach preserves”.

Word to the wise.

As a home canner, I’m a little leery, I prefer new and sterilized.

Thanks. I love to can. Bet his sales have gone up significantly today after the GB mention.

Thanks, I’m willing to give them a try. I really hate throwing away the lids but I’m hesitant to reuse them - don’t want to deal with spoilage or no seal.

I have some of these, I love them.

Have canned green beans and peaches with them, so far. Had one failed seal, but that was no more than I’d expect with traditional ones, with as many as I put up.

The thing I like about them is they are completely reusable, both lids and rings. I’ve been afraid of running out of lids in an EOTWAWKI situation. These are supposedly good for 20 years and you can buy extra rings for them.

Well...if you're out scavenging for food and you run across a 'stash' of food that has survived because of these lids...then, you'd benefit.

See...you're not so innocent.

Heard this on Beck's radio show this morning as well...went right to the site, and it was down. BECK RULE #2: any site mentioned on his show will crash immediately; as servers are overwhelmed by listeners.

I was thinking about picking up one of those snappy All-American pressure canners...these reusable lids would really come in handy.

Wonder if he got the idea during the time of Nixon’s wage & price controls. There was a run on the regular canning lids and the manufacturers couldn’t/didn’t resposnd so there was a multi-year shortage of them.

I first used these back in the '70s when there was a shortage of canning lids. Used them for about 7 or 8 years and only stopped because of relocating and didn't bring them along.

Couldn't find them till last year when there was a write-up in Backwoods Home Magazine. I immediately bought a bunch - glad to have them again.

They have had a couple of improvements over the years which I like, but the rubber rings don't seem to be as thick or as dense as my old ones, however, I have canned quite a bit with them with great success.

Suggestion would be to get a stock of the replacement rubber rings too, if you are looking SHTF protection for the long term.(just in case)

Here's a days worth of canning corn from last summer - with the Tattler lids...

If you ever wear this lid out, we will replace it free!

And, if one of your kids dies from botulism because the seal failed,we'll give you a whole box-full to show we're really, really sorry.

I just don't like the risk/benefit. Lids are cheaper than family members, even brothers-in-law.
