Preserving jars

Does anyone know whether it's possible to get reusable screw top lids for Agee preserving jars? I like using the jars, but I think the seals are a bit wasteful and uneconomical - not like jam jars where you can reuse the lids... So anyway, if I could get reusable lids, it would make me feel a bit better!

  • I saw a link to some website in the NZ Gardener magazine or Homegrown book where you can buy preserving jars online if you need them. I found this site for buying them but have yet to have used them. So far I just reuse sterilized Dolmio Pasta Sauce jars, and old jam jars...works for me.

  • hi Sonya.
    not entirly what you want to know but in referance to jars for preserves.
    have started washing all jars we use, and re use in the steralising powder i use for cleaning home brue/wine making .
    not a big problem as you need to cook all jars before you use them.
    we have found that even the stinkiest old pickle jar comes up smelling of - nothing.

  • They don't seem to sell lids in supermarkets, just the rings and seals. I'm looking for lids all in one where I don't have to throw part of it away each time I open a jar (and I can use part of a jar and put it in the fridge rather than having to use the whole thing!). :)
