You may be concerned that home canning lids contain BPA or you are looking for a safe, reliable and re-usable lid. Either way, these Tattler lids are the solution to both problems! I have tested these myself for 9 years and been thrilled with the results. Not single failure.
Let me explain the issues and what I found in my review:
Unless you are a environmental chemist and chemical engineer (as I am) you may not be familiar with BPA, known to chemists as Bisphenol A. BPA is an endocrine disruptor, a substance that interferes with the production, secretion, transport, action, function and elimination of natural hormones. BPA can also imitate our body's own hormones in a ways that could be hazardous for health. Babies and young children are especially sensitive to the effects of BPA. The National Toxicology Program at the National Institutes of Health and FDA have some concern about the potential effects of BPA on the brain, behavior, and prostate gland in fetuses, infants, and young children. See this page for information about BPA.

These are the Tattler brand re-usable canning lids that you may have already heard about. I've been testing them for 5 years and found they work flawlessly. I even have some jars of applesauce using these lids that are still sealed and safe 3 years later. I use them for jars that I will keep myself or give to close family members. Obviously, it isn't a great idea for jars you give away as gifts, unless your recipients agree to return the lids.
Adter safety and reliability, the next question is the cost and pay-back period. In 2021, the Tattler reusable lids were selling for $18 for 1 box of 12 lids and rings (That's $1.50 cents per lid). At the same time, I found Ball s,12 packs of ingle-use disposable lids selling for $2.28 plus tax in a local WalMart. That means the Tattler lids pay for themselves in the 8th year of use. Since I have some that are now 9 years old, it is clear that they do pay for themselves and save you money, in addition to being safer. Of course, if you buy them in larger quantities, you can get them cheaper. Oddly, the price of the Tattlers has skyricketed in the past 4 years (about $10 per dozen in 2017) while the disposables have not ($2.18 in 2017)..
Tattler lids are safe, economical and reusable canning lids.

A visitor wrote in to tell how she uses Copper Glo (order at ledt) to remove rust from rings and jars:
Comments from a visitor on September 15, 2010:
"You mention not
using jars that have rust on them. One way to remove rust from jars is with
Copper Glo. I get Copper Glo at our local Giant Eagle. I had a jar with rust
on it and was getting ready to pitch it when my mom told me about Copper Glo.
I was afraid to use it at first because I was afraid it would scratch the
jar, but decided it was worth a try. Amazingly, the rust came off and the
jar wasn't scratched!"

For other supplies:
2. The same as the kit above, but stainless steel There is a separate kit of supplies further down the page.
The manufacturer does not recommend this canner for glass or ceramic top stoves as it does not have a flat bottom. However, our experience is that these water-bath canners work fine on "most" flat top stoves.
Blake's rating : long lasting, well built. I have two of these!
3. This is the same as the one above, except larger - 33 quarts. This means it holds 9 quart jars instead of 7. The manufacturer does not recommend the Jumbo Water Bath Canner Package for glass or ceramic top stoves as it does not have a flat bottom. However, our experience is that these canners work fine on "most" flat top stoves. A stove with a large burner size is recommended.
Blake's rating
: Same model as the #1, just wider to hold 2 more jars,
long lasting, well built
Made of stainless steel, so it should last a lifetime - it would also make a great pot to cook applesauce.
Heat resistant silicone handles protect your hands and ensure a secure grip. Dual steam vents on the lid prevent fogging so you can see inside. Corrosion resistant rack holds jars of various sizes. 21-quart size. Stainless steel. Hand wash.
This multi-use canning rack system turns any very large pot into a canning pot and facilitates many culinary tasks like blanching and sterilizing. Used with a large saucepan or stock pot, the racks lift and hold mason jars for easy insertion and removal of jars. The racks elevate the jars off the bottom of pot to prevent glass breakage. These racks have multiple wires to hold all jar sizes, including small jars which won't tip and fall through the rack when lifted. Also great for blanching, steaming, or boiling corn or lobster.Includes two stainless steel racks (a small one for 9 - 10" diameter pots and a large one for 11 - 12" diameter pots), a set of adjustable stainless steel lifters, instructions and tips.
