Canning recipes, food preservation and food sales

[rbeau30]

For sure. I have some I would use for stuff that I frequently go through and eat on a regular basis. But Plastic is a little more porous than metal. I wouldn't use them for long term.

So you have to process them looser than normal lids and immediately tighten them down when taking them out of the canner.

This video inspired me to get super thick and grippy silicone gloves. I have had this happen (a little bit of siphoning) on one or two jars with regular lids so I feel much better with the gloves that I now use.

What most likely happened is that jar was probably tightened too much prior to being processed and that is what made the lid bulge like that. the gas had nowhere to escape while processing. When you have canned for so long, and you throw in a new procedure, you get into auto-pilot and it is easy as heck to tighten a tattler just like you would a normal jar lid before processing.

Not a fun way to get 2nd degree burns. The one spot on his hand probably was 3rd degree.
