I mean the kind that are flat,with a bit of a seal around the inside (like every sort of lid on a canned item in the store)?
I had ordered a bunch of these type of lids for jars I was reusing. When I was processing them, I realized I had no clue how to properly seal them. The fit is tight, not like with regular sealing rings, so I felt like I was going to cause the jar to explode if I overtightened it.
I 'lightly' tightened it, making sure it was locked in place, then processed for teh normal amount of time. I can't say there was a HUGE difference in the way the top of the lid looked as compared to an unsealed one. These lids did not have the little 'bubble' in the middle that gets sucked down & 'pops' when you open it.
Any advice would be appreciated smileys/smile.gif
thanks
