Do you store jars with the metal bands on them or leave it off?

The reusable lids make such a tight seal you probably don't need to, but I have used them "just in case."

I used with my metal bands because I already had them. See this website for instructions: http://www.reusablecanninglids.com/How_Do_They_Work_.html

Always with the screw bands off. As a precaution, I don't place in storage for at least a week. If the are going to come unsealed, they normally do by then. I've had some still do this afterwards but, without the band, it's easy to spot. I hate to lose jars of food but.......it sure beats making my family sick. Tattlers are good but.it does take some time. It is a good idea to take bands off all jars.

Yes they do? I really like replacing the metal ring to the plastic after opening the jar. For example pickles, when not consuming the entire jar. I will replace with the plastic. Just keep in mind these plastic covers are for storage only and will not seal like the metal in the canning process. The Plastic is great for dry storage spices, pasta, rice in the quart or pint jars when you plan opening the jar often

I store them in the pantry. I have never had a problem since they are dehydrated and will keep a very long time.

Bands can be reused. Lids i wouldnt. When you clean them they dont always pair back with the same jar and you cant get a great seal.

Yes. I love these things. I often use my mason jars for food storage or if I make too much smoothies. I do not like using the metal rings because I thing they get rusty. This reusable plastic is just perfect.

Keep them in a tightly lidded jar - a dry place. That's not difficult here in Arizona. Hope this helps.

Do it carefully and always use the rack to keep the jars off the bottom ! Domt

The jars have a silicone seal. They look nice and stack well however when the seal gets moved by putting the top/off, they are not airtight as I wanted! If you are not storing baking supplies such as sugar...they are nice.

Yes I understand they should be stored refrigerated, except for the one you are using. That is what I do.

I keep mine in a glass container with a screw top. On my spice rack, which isn't above my stove.

The jar does not have any rubber gaskets, and the screw top is not all that tight, so I would sat it is likely not air tight. I only use it to store change.

The bands hold the lid secure while processing the jars in a pressure cooker or boiling water bath. The flat lids are a one time use, the rings can be reused as long as they are in good condition.

I have never stored them near water, but I would assume it would rust if it was often wet. They are sturdy but coated lightly, so I think the metal would rust pretty easily.

I use my jars for dry good storage. I would contact the maker before using in a pressure canner.

I use mine outdoors but they are shielded from the weather. I have them in old fashioned glass jars.

Yes! I store mine in a jar with a screw on lid in my pantry. DO NOT chill or freeze, please.

Yes, The lids are tight I think they should be OK to store up side down. But if you are planning on using the magnet alone with out it being screwed into something then that might not work. The magnet peels off easily of the metal part and everything falls all over the place.
