I wanted to order these Tattler canning lids but it says that Metal bands are required for sealing but they are not included. I'm so confused

You can use any ring. The rings that came on the jars, or you can buy replacements at your local hardware or supermarket. Normal Ball or Mason jar rings work with this product.

I spoke to Thermos about this today. They refuse to sell the gasket's separately, telling me that they "are made with the lids." This is clearly false: they are entirely separate from the lids and could be sold separately.

I know this is an old question but just saw it. Do you mean that you reuse canning lids because you use them on jars that aren't canned? There are plastic lids that fit the canning jars that might be better for you, if that is what you are talking about.

lids only does mean that the "rings" or "bands" are not included. Since the "rings" or "bands" can be reused many times before they rust and have to be discarded, "lids" only are sold in a set of 12 since jars are normally sold in cases of 12. Hope this helps. Alice S.

No need to buy lids it comes with it. But it does not come with nipples. It didn't come with a seal bag so I felt like it could have been used and then return and I wouldn't even know it. So i decided to return it.

The ones I ordered did not advertise lids or come with them. I think there may be two versions of these - one with and one with out. Good luck.

If you put them in plastic bag! In order to really seal a Mason jar, you'd have to have a specially designed top for the jar. Most things that you'd can need heat anyway, I believe you'd just be adding complexity for no benefit. The FoodSaver works great as designed....to seal food in plastic. Canning works great as designed....to seal heated/cooked food in glass/metal. The two processes are different enough that you do not want to mix them.

Yes. Regular metal rings. Once you remove the jars from canner the instructions say to immediately tighten the ring on the jar then allow jars to cool

Sabra, that's an excellent tip about using a glass quart canning jar & adding water. I presume the standard metal lid & screw band will be okay in the yogurt maker. Or do I even really need a lid at all?

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

they were intendedfor canning, but they will work as a regular sealing lid. lid needs to be fairly snug, but do not over tightenas it tends to deform gasket. also if jar seal edge and gasket are completely dry this may cause leakage. the gasket needs to slide on seal edge of jar so seal pressure. the only problems i have found is over tightening and dry on dry. one other thing is if it is not a canning style jar it may not seal, no matter what you do.

You will need the model number of your canner which should be in the book that came with it or it is located on the canner itself either on the bottom or located under one of the handles . Once you have this information finding the correct seal is easy

The seal is rubber and the quality is such that you could use them for canning or food storage. Buy in confidence.

I did not measure with a ruler, but did place both the regular and the wide mouth on a regular Ball metal lid, and the Tattler rubber rings are exactly the same as the rubber portion of the metal lid. Tattlers are thicker than the rubber on the metal lid. I would not recommend using Tattlers with a metal lid. Use them with the Tattler flat. Tattler rubber rings are reusable and can be used up to 20 times before replacing. The best information on using Tattler lids that I have found is in THE AMISH CANNING COOKBOOK by Georgia Varozza. She describes her experiences and has helpful recommendations.

Mine did NOT come with a safety seal, and looking at the review I see that I'm not alone in this experience. There was no plastic wrap around the outside of the lid, and no foil seal on the inside. While the lid appeared to be closed, the entire contents of my order were dusted with cinnamon. I just received the order yesterday, and plan to request a replacement/refund from Amazon.

These are one piece canning lids, designed for waterbath or pressure canning. They take the place of two piece lids and rings. The lids have a rubber seal so they would be airtight and not leak if the jar is inverted.

I really don't know. When we purchased ours there wasn't lids offered with them.
