can you make jam in a waterbath canner with these jars? Are the lug lids USDA approved?

There are couple of seller list under this listing. I cannot guaranteed theirs but the jars we sell have special BPA free lids and you can use them for foods. They can also be waterbath for the jams.

I used these lids on my old pint sized jars and they were great. As long as they are the regular mouth and NOT the wide mouth jars the lids will work.

These fit wide mouth canning jars, both quart & pint, & also wide mouth smaller jars. Regular canning jars (quart, pint, & most jelly jars) take a "regular" size lid. Hope this helps.

Yes. All of Ball Jar "wide mouth" jar openings are universal, regardless of the size of the jar. So you can use these lids with any "wide mouth" Ball Jar.

Yes, you can put them into the oven. I sterilize them before canning by putting them in the oven. When I can jams, I put them in a boiling water for 10-20 minutes and that also works fine. I have only used them for canning, but if I can boil them in water and put them in the oven, that suggests that they are quite heat resistant.

I don't think so. They are nice for drinking. But I probably not for canning and they are not wide mouth.

This is a large pot. It can be used as the water bath canner to process the jars in, but would be too large to make the jam in since jams and jellies are usually made in small batches.

Doubtful, they seem to be made with the same materials that your regular ring canning jar lids are made out of, which rust after awhile. I have been hand-washing mine and they haven't rusted at all yet, though I haven't used them a ton yet either. The package had no information at all about care.

they say not to use these in or with heat, and not made for canning right on the box they come in, you'd be better off going with the regular jars made for canning!!

I have used them in the freezer but they have cracked with sauce expanding from freezing. I much prefer smaller jam jars for freezing.

I'm not sure how wide a 16 oz. mason jars are, but, these are meant for small items, e.g., spices like one buys at the store, possibly canned goods. As long as the jars are about the size of, say, a can of green beans, or something, they might fit, but nothing larger. (I use them for spices and canned goods, that's how I know). Thanks for asking.

Yes. And to reuse them, the standard lids can be bought here (the jars are from Italy). They seal perfectly; no problems at all. They are perfect for canning; I was glad they were 10 oz rather than 8 oz as it seemed a bit more substantial as a gift. I'm saving these jars for us, though, they are really pretty and people rarely return jars these days....

I don't see why not, but you would have to have a pot tall enough to cover the quart jars with water...keep in mind this is small and would most likely only take either 2 or 3 quart jars at a time. Good luck

yes, all canning jars are either regular or wide mouth. no matter whether 8 oz, pint or quart. as long as it is a regular mouth jar, it will work.

Yes. You can use them this way. Standard-size lids are usable on any kind of standard-sized jar.

No..I wouldn't use them for canning. The pink color would come off. I don't know if they sell ones that you are looking for.

It's been a long time since I canned stuff. I vaguely remember you submerge the jars in boiling water for some period of time. If that's right you can put in 4 quart jars at a time.
