Here is what I found.

“Can you use tattler lids in pressure canner?
Tattler lids are food-grade-plastic canning lids suitable for both water bath and pressure canning. They are reusable indefinitely as long as they are cared for. They are two pieces: the white food-grade-plastic (no BPA) lid and the rubber ring.”

I never got into canning because my mothers, mother, died of Botulism from canning when my mother was only nine months old.

I know things are way different now but the idea that it happened plus I was always fearful a pressure cooker would blow up on me.

That’s awful! So you never got to know your grandma, not on that side.

“I know things are way different now but the idea that it happened plus I was always fearful a pressure cooker would blow up on me.”

I wonder if jars would be more prone to food poison canned back then. Again, the canning process is the same. Things can go wrong now if a proper sealed wasn’t obtained.

I was worried about the same thing the first time. Everything exploding and my having chicken bits all over my ceiling. But it all worked out and for some reason I was addicted. I looked around for more things to can.
