can these be used in canning process, with a wide mouth lid and band under pressure?

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

I'm not completely sure, but I don't think so. The kids of other jars don't fit on these mugs.

I don't know. My experience with these is not a good one. I ordered the box of 40 something and out of the whole box, only 13 were actually useable. Make sure you inspect them well if you decide to order them. The lip of most of them had a large (not sure what to call it) nubbin of glass that was evidently caused in production or something. It took a bit of work but I got a full refund from BarConic.

No, this unit is not capable of performing the pressure needed for canning. The food saver brand has special canisters for vacuum sealing foods such as grains, and other limited types of foods.

Absolutely. I use it all the time for canning jars. Mostly to strain kefir .. but yes, I've used it for both regular and wide mouth jars.

No. There is no pressure control, and vegetable canning requires specific pounds of pressure. Also, jars would not fit. You need a pressure canner, many are available at local hardware stores.

I was surprised by this post so I went to the USDA web site and was refered on to the Natinal Center for Home food Preservation I copied this straight out of the Canning Tomatoes section "Use of a pressure canner will result in higher quality and more nutritious canned tomato products. If your pressure canner cannot be operated above 15 PSI, select a process time at a lower pressure.

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.

I'm sure you can. I used it yesterday to process 8 oz jars. There is no way small jars can slide out. I am planning to buy another so I can stack in canning kettle.

Yes, as long as they are the kind with a standard-size mouth (2 1/2 inch diameter). I have several of the standard 4 oz jars and these lids fit them perfectly. They won't work on wide-mouth (3 inch diameter) jars, though.

they were intendedfor canning, but they will work as a regular sealing lid. lid needs to be fairly snug, but do not over tightenas it tends to deform gasket. also if jar seal edge and gasket are completely dry this may cause leakage. the gasket needs to slide on seal edge of jar so seal pressure. the only problems i have found is over tightening and dry on dry. one other thing is if it is not a canning style jar it may not seal, no matter what you do.

Sorry, but this would be too small. I would recommend going to the Presto web site to see if they have something that will fit. Happy canning!

I use mine for freezing and they work out very well. It is recommended, though, that once they are used for freezing (or microwaved) that they should not be used for canning.

I put a half-gallon wide mouth mason jar in mine and had about 1/2 inch to spare to the rim of the pot. It seems like they might have designed it for this. You will want some sort of spacer (<1/2 inch) at the bottom so the jars don't crack from the heat. I would advise against submerging jars or adding water during the canning process (as one reviewer said).

It can, with an attachment, vacuum seal lids to canning jars. HOWEVER, this is not a replacement for actually canning the food - if not heated/cooked as directed, you may be sealing botulism spores in with your food. The attachment is great for sealing lids to allow storage of dry goods under vacuum (like flour, sugar, etc), but should not be used as a replacement for properly canning wet, fresh, or cooked foods.

I like Ball brand wide-mouth and regular size plastic caps for sealing mason jars. I use them to store leftovers in fridge as well as for freezing. They work well and i haven't noticed any leaking. Be sure to allow an inch headspace when freezing foods. They are NOT to be used for water bath or pressure canning.

The jar is air tight but does NOT have a rubber ring of any kind. I'm not sure this would work for canning. Try contacting the company with your question. Good luck. :)

Wide mouth jar lids have a bigger diameter so no, I don't think they will fit. These lids are designed for the regular tapered canning jars. Measurements are available on various web sites that sell canning jars, like Walmart and K-mart.

I honestly dont know. I bought the lids for a craft not for canning so I dont have experience with the jars at all...sorry!
