Question on canning

[marshalt]

Sometimes the lids don't seal right. Is it okay to reuse them?

No. Botulism.

Wait. Are these really ample lids?

Oh, I thought this was a thread on firing employees. I canned two last week.

Make sure the jar lip is clean, no bits of what you're canning on them. I always wipe them off with a cloth after filling the jars, before placing the lids on.
I did 60 quarts of pickles, plus some other stuff, this summer and they all sealed without issue.

OK, sucks to get to the parody thread before the original thread.

I will not stand for bullying and intimidation in the workplace. If it get up to me, they're out the door.

Did the lid 'pop' ?

No, my mom is in her 90's and suffering from Alzheimer's, so probably couldn't even remember how to make them. Not that she could even lift the canner anymore.
I did use her recipe though.
