[quote:Anonymous Coward 715924:MV84NzI4MzhfMTM1MDc2NTlfN0IyRTE1REQ=] [quote:Dante.Destiny] I had some of my Raspberry Preserves in these and had left the rings on them. They have been sealed for 6-8 weeks. I took one of the rings off today and the seal popped within 5 seconds. I was planning on hitting them up, but not sure I want more if they are failing. I have not had issues with the gold lids, just the silver. [/quote] That would just make me sick to have it go bad. I'm sorry you had it happen. Even if you don't want to can with the lids, if you got some free from the company, you could use them for things that don't require a seal, like rice, pasta, beans, etc. in qt. jars. Or, better yet, can a jar of water with the ones they send and see if it holds, and if it doesn't, hit them up again. :bash: [/quote]
Original Message
I heard Phennommennonn the other day in the voice chat mention she and several others were having Ball silver lids failing. I would like add that I have had some failing. They do not seem to be sealing properly. I also talked with my brother who said he had not had a lid not seal in 5 years until this week when a silver ball lid failed to seal straight out of the water bath.
SO I would recommend everyone, to be careful with these.
