Can these lids be used for home canning?

No. These are just twist on one piece lids. I used them when I give gifts in the jars - like candy or dry mixes

Definitely not they are just regular screw on lids like on a peanut butter jar .

I don't think they would work for pot lids, unless your lids have a wide lip on them, sorry

Yes, you can use regular canning rings with these lids. I suggest you keep the ring on after the canning process. My experience is that this lids came loose after a couple of days, but they worked very well for some people with the rings staying tight for some time.

No, you can't. Let us know if you find a good alternative. Annoyed with these lids!

No. It has a very wide opening and a special lid with a rubber type seal. It is not meant for canning.

Definitely!! These lids aren't the easiest to remove as they are tightly sealed (which is what you want) but you can certainly put them back on again with some force to make sure they are completely sealed.

The large mouth Ball lids and rings should work. The ones used for 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.

If the 4 oz ball jars have the same size opening as other ball jars (not the wide mouth); then these should fit. I've used them on jelly jars, and if the size you asked about is the smaller size jelly jar, these should fit.I've been using these lids for over a year and they haven't begun to rust. Your idea of hand washing (and drying) is great.

Yes you can use standard lids with glass...also they are very sturdy I love these I bought two sets

Yes! It said you could in the instructions and I have done it! I love these lids!

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....

You are able to use the burners as regular burners, so I would say it would work for canning

I don't know. If you are using them for refrigerated items, or dried,, like herbs, flavored salts, etc. that would be fine. But I don't think you can can (sterlize) with plastic lids.

I don't think they would - the Tattler lids are much thicker than the metal canning lids, and the Weck lids are thicker yet. The sealer is designed for standard metal (disposable) wide-mouth canning lids - like Ball or Kerr. The lids can be re-used, however - I've been re-using the same lids weekly for a couple of years now.update 11/18/13 - I just received a set of wide-mouth Tattler lids, and I tried one with the sealer, and to my surprise, it DID work. The lid stayed in place, just like the metal ones.

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!!

They are light weight and well made. The lids are plastic and while in use are not tighly sealed. You should be OK.
