They soon switched the tin lining to glass, but when their supplier for the glass linings burnt down, they opened their own glass factory in 1882 to make the linings themselves. Since they had the glass factory anyway, they decided to make other glass products.

I have been canning for over 40 years; using both water bath and pressure cooker methods. The jars used to be packages in a box with a lid, with the jar rings and lids wrapped separately. Now the jar lids and rings area actually placed on each jar, with the jars plastic wrapped into cardboard trays. Since there is not lid on the tray of jars, when they are stacked for shipping and store display the weight of the jars causes the lids to seal onto the jars. When the jars are unwrapped for use and the lids are removed you feel & hear a lease of suction from the lid being pressed onto the jar’s rim. On inspection of the lids you can clearly see that the rubber seal has been compromised and risks a proper seal. Canning instructions warns the home-canner not to reuse lids at the risk of jars not sealing properly or losing their seal prematurely. Basically, is not possible if we use the lids that come with the jars? I have emailed the company a number of times over the years, since the packaging change, with no reasonable response to why a simple packaging change could not be made. I don’t understand why they factory could not flip the lids upside down for packaging, so that the rubber seals will not be pressed against the jar’s rim & quality compromised? I am forced to buy extra lids to replace the original lids, so that I don’t risk all my hard work and the expense of my food product. I throw away unused lids that have had the rubber seal damaged. It just seems so wasteful to me and such an easy fix. thank you!</p> </div> <div class="comment-reply"><a rel='nofollow' class='comment-reply-link' href='#comment-48155' data-commentid="48155" data-postid="1453" data-belowelement="article-comment-48155" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to Kathy Van Buren" aria-label='Reply to Kathy Van Buren'>Reply</a></div> </article> <ul class="children"> <li class="comment even depth-2" id="comment-83578"> <article id="article-comment-83578"> <header class="comment-header"> <p class="comment-author"> <span class="comment-author-name">Debbie Garland</span> </p> <p class="comment-meta"><time class="comment-time">August 20, 2021 at 11:21 pm</time></p> </header> <div class="comment-content"> <p>I agree with these complaints of KATHY VAN BUREN. I also have issues with lids attached to jars being compromised. It does cause sealing issues. I don’t need rings and jars. I just need lids. I also have not been able at all this year to find lids for any jars. I have also had some lids buckle under pressure canning. This should not be happening. Is it not possible to get a quality product anymore. This is getting ridiculous. People need to be able to can their food. Please get reliable lids to western North Carolina.</p> </div> <div class="comment-reply"><a rel='nofollow' class='comment-reply-link' href='#comment-83578' data-commentid="83578" data-postid="1453" data-belowelement="article-comment-83578" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to Debbie Garland" aria-label='Reply to Debbie Garland'>Reply</a></div> </article> </li> <li class="comment odd alt depth-2" id="comment-100266"> <article id="article-comment-100266"> <header class="comment-header"> <p class="comment-author"> <span class="comment-author-name">Kristin</span> </p> <p class="comment-meta"><time class="comment-time">May 12, 2022 at 11:53 pm</time></p> </header> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Did you ever get a response to this?</p> </div> <div class="comment-reply"><a rel='nofollow' class='comment-reply-link' href='#comment-100266' data-commentid="100266" data-postid="1453" data-belowelement="article-comment-100266" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to Kristin" aria-label='Reply to Kristin'>Reply</a></div> </article> </li> </ul> </li> <li class="comment even thread-odd thread-alt depth-1" id="comment-46353"> <article id="article-comment-46353"> <header class="comment-header"> <p class="comment-author"> <span class="comment-author-name">Becky Agne</span> </p> <p class="comment-meta"><time class="comment-time">July 01, 2019 at 1:04 am</time></p> </header> <div class="comment-content"> <p>Hi I was wondering how many times can you can in a jar.

So you would can separately and combine upon use. As appealing as the idea of “meal all in one jar” can seem on paper, over time, you actually kinda come to appreciate the flexibility of having both things separate. Gives you just a little more choice in life. I keep a whole shelf of jars of meatballs of various kinds. Sometimes I serve them in a tomato sauce, other times in a creamy mushroom sauce, other times I put toothpicks in them and serve them up as a snack in another kind of sauce. Love the flexibility.</p> <p>(2) While you may can some spaghetti sauces in a waterbath, anything with meat in it always, always, always requires pressure canning.</p> </div> <div class="comment-reply"><a rel='nofollow' class='comment-reply-link' href='#comment-25199' data-commentid="25199" data-postid="1453" data-belowelement="article-comment-25199" data-respondelement="respond" data-replyto="Reply to Healthy Canning" aria-label='Reply to Healthy Canning'>Reply</a></div> </article> </li> </ul> </li> <li class="comment even thread-odd thread-alt depth-1" id="comment-16310"> <article id="article-comment-16310"> <header class="comment-header"> <p class="comment-author"> <span class="comment-author-name">Billie Cunningham</span> </p> <p class="comment-meta"><time class="comment-time">September 03, 2016 at 5:29 pm</time></p> </header> <div class="comment-content"> <p>I recently read an article in a locl newspapaer about canning.
