Ball Wide Mouth Dome Lids only No Rings
Each box contains 12 Wide Mouth DomeŽ lids. Fits either Ball or Kerr or Mason canning jars.
- Regular and wide-mouth Mason-type, threaded, home-canning jars with self-sealing lids are the best choice.
- These jars are available in 1/2 pint, pint, 1-1/2 pint, quart, and 1/2 gallon sizes.
- Wide-mouth jars have openings of about 3 inches, making them more easily filled and emptied.
- With careful use and handling, Mason jars may be reused many times, requiring only new lids each time. When jars and lids are used properly, jar seals and vacuums are excellent and jar breakage is rare.
Most commercial pint- and quart-size mayonnaise or salad dressing jars may be used with new two-piece lids for canning acid foods. However, you should expect more seal failures and jar breakage. These jars have a narrower sealing surface and are tempered less than Mason jars, and may be weakened by repeated contact with metal spoons or knives used in dispensing mayonnaise or salad dressing. Seemingly insignificant scratches in glass may cause cracking and breakage while processing jars in a canner or vacuum sealing. Mayonnaise-type jars are not recommended for use with foods to be processed in a pressure canner, or vacuum sealer because of excessive jar breakage. Other commercial jars with mouths that cannot be sealed with two-piece canning lids are not recommended for use in canning or vacuum sealing any food at home.
Vacuum Sealing in jars is not canning. This process is excellent for dry products or refrigerator use. Canning with jars for a shelf stable product hot water bath or pressure canning is required.
