My Genuine Concern: Reusable Canning Lids & Gaskets or NOT?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 січ 2025
- DISCLAIMER: I have sincere, legitimate questions, and if you're a canner.....you should too. These are my opinions and thoughts. I am just voicing them here under my first amendment right to do so. Let me know your thoughts down below. And if you purchased these non reusable gaskets with your lid purchase in 2021, do you still have them? Did you contact Harvest Guard for a replacement? Did they notify you of the issues? I would love to know. Thank you, God Bless and I sincerely wish Brad the best of luck and hope any new ownership treats their customers well and is successful.
A Special Notice: The Harvest Guard Company is Up For Sale!

Yep. I'm one who expects 6-8 uses to actually be 6-8 uses! I would not know a good gasket from a bad one. I bought them for the first time in 2021.
This!!!!! THIS!!!!!!! This is my concern!!!!! He makes a pretty huge assumption that people would figure it out on their own. They won’t if they trust you and trust what they believe they purchased from you. 🤦♀️💔 so worrisome.
And I can regularly but never have used the reusable lids. I bought them in case I couldn't get the other ones. But I was thrilled they would last a long time. I wouldn't know either how the gaskets are supposed to be use after use.
@@CherieNorquay I did the same and sent a bunch to my daughter who is a new canner. Fortunately, I accidentally also ordered from Tattler as they were going to be delivered quicker. I thought I had canceled the HG. Both boxes came within a week of each other.

Thank you 💕!! I appreciate all the time you have put into this video.
On a side note 🎶 I love your hair 💕 and you look beautiful!! Have a great day!!
Same here! That's when I bought mine. so Bummed!
Heather you are 100% right. I’m glad you’re standing up for all of us.
Why is he reaching out to influencers before reaching out to customers who thought they were buying reusable gaskets? Thank you for standing up for regular folks!!! Also, if this is his decision why not send them out with 8 gaskets since the reusable ones should work at least 8 times? Why only 3?
EXACTLY!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
If they didn't have the "Luxury " to test them, then they are lying and it's false advertising. Heather you are fabulous and I support you speaking out for us!
Ugh. Like I told him in my email, nauseated. 🥺
I agree. Have been using Tattler lids since 2012.
A lie is a lie, there is no half truth.
Excuses when you have people's lives in your hands, Is no excuse at all. It is still A lie.
When my husband died suddenly, I depended on the food in my pantry already cooked.
I pray for this man, That his eyes will be opened.
Thank you for your truth, Blessings and healing.
I am with you sis. And so sorry about the loss of your beloved husband. 💔
Heather, you are such a blessing to us canners. Thank you for not only making us aware of this issue, but also for following up and pressing the company for complete disclosure. Much love to you!
I appreciate that, we are all in this together!
Ugh, I bought all REUSABLE lids and gaskets during the difficult time of finding lids. Literally bought enough for all my jars. I am so upset! I felt I bought REUSUABLE so insure I wouldn't ever be without lids again!
They need to send out FREE gaskets to ALL those that bought during the timeframe.
Indeed they must. They have to do right by their customers. Accountability is a serious thing.
I absolutely agree with you!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 and you should at the very least been informed!!!!!
Tattler gaskets fit on the Harvest Guard lids, and those gaskets ARE actually reusable.
@2200chuck Thank you 2200chuck. This is useful information for everyone. 💞🤗
@@TheKneadyHomesteadera respectable honest business should have put out a recall like you said Heather. And replace all of the questionable gaskets.
These are very sincere questions that we should all be asking, thank you for asking them on the consumers' behalf!! I'm concerned by what the email said and the approach that Harvest Guard has taken. Why aren't the 40,000 customers being notified of the deficit in product quality? Why is he selling addresses instead of letting all of his customers know. He already knows who bought the lesser product. Thank you for not just taking the bait of clout of being an "influencer" and instead asking questions that really matter. This is FOOD SECURITY we are talking about. Hard earned dollars that go less and less far each day.
Absolutely 💯
How about Four Jars brand?
Thanks for the warning will never use their company because of their deceptive practices
I bought Tattler. I only did a few as I was a new canner when I bought them. So far so good. Thank you for speaking up for us.
Good for you!!!!! Call them out on crappy job!!!!!! Myself i just use ball !!!!
Oh my. It most definitely is NoT a luxury!! Heather you are so right! It IS their responsibility! (To take time to test them properly)
I will not be buying these lids anymore.
Thank you so much for this information! I wasted my money buying this brand thinking i was being smart and could reuse these. When the seals stretched and curled I thought I’d done something wrong. ( it was my fault ). They lied by omission, which is still a lie.
THIS!!!!! 😩💔🤦♀️ This is exactly what my fear was!!!!!!! And to be so presumptuous that new canners wouldn’t be able to not know, angered me.
@@TheKneadyHomesteader I’ve been canning since I was 15, I’m 53 now and I took them for their word. Lesson learned, I will not assume that a new product is as they lead us to believe and do some research before purchasing. 😉
Unfortunately, I think things like this happened across many industries during the shortages that were COVID. You are correct in that they should have rectified the situation once they realized there was an issue.
Heather, IF I was IN your area, I promise you, I'd be one of the ones willing to learn from your canning classes. You've taught me so much, but I struggle trying to watch videos from my phone while doing things in the kitchen as our kitchen is very teeny. I THANK YOU for saving US money as we were going to buy reusable lids. Omgosh sweetheart, stay so blessed and THANK YOU for watching out for your followers. I LOVE YOU AND YOUR CHANNEL SWEETIE!
Awwww thanks🤗🤗🤗
I bought some too! Ugh!! So glad you made this video!
❤️
What I bought mine in 2020😮 i can only use them one time 😢 now i have to order the rubber bands i haven't used them yet thank you Heather miss you
Miss you too🥺
Bravo! Thank you for looking out for others. You executed that perfectly. ❤
Thank you. I have a compassionate heart and try to be kind but at the same time, some full disclosure needs to be made. 🥹
@@TheKneadyHomesteader AMEN!
Happy birthday Heather! 🎉🎈🎁🎂🍨💐
Thanks for looking into these lids- goodness gracious!
Thank you!🤗
Thank you Heather for taking a stand for what is right for all of us! Happy Birthday! Hope you had an amazing blessed day! You have been such a blessing to so many, even this old grandmother! You can teach a old dog new tricks! Even though I had done a considerable amount of canning through the years! I’m canning things now that I never ever considered canning! You are a blessing! Thank You! Blessings!
God bless you sweet mama and thank you for that we all lean on one another. ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you Heather. I have recommended in the past both Tatler and Harvest Guard. I just finished sharing this episode with everyone I had told that Harvest Guard and Tatler were equal, because now, obviously, they are not. Again, thank you and God bless you.
God bless 🥹❤️
WTG, Heather.! Thank you for sharing. I still use the metal one use flats. At 70 I am too old to learn new tricks and the reusable ones just do not seem safe to me personally.
I never bought those lids, as I had a stock pile of the Ball lids. And I bought myself for my birthday last year a new Cosori dehydrator. Learned to dehydrate food I never thought about and making powders. I also joined Thrive Life and stocked piled there
pantry cans of fruit, veggies and proteins. I also have store canned products. I am going to try to grow some veggies on my patio this summer, then dry them and put them away for later.
Great job informing the public on your communication with yet another company being more concerned about profit over quality. Discussed, knowing the expense of products, food, time, food safety etc.. involved in this process. Thank you for rallying for us to keep these companies honest Heather ❤.
Thank you for this Heather! Thank you for using your platform to spread the word, both positive and negative! Love and blessings from south Texas!
I also bought from Harvest Guard because they were USA made and veteran owned.
Ditto!
Thank you Heather for all your efforts and exposing the truth about Harvest Guard. I purchased the Tattler brand and I’m so glad I did. I’m a new canner so you are right that a warped gasket would mean this is what happens. I wouldn’t know the difference. God bless you!
And honestly, even experienced canners have a hard time telling sometimes!
Happy Birthday Heather I hope you had a wonderful 50 th birthday full of love and happiness God bless you 🙏🏻✝️☮️🎈🎉🎂
Thank you!!!!
Thank you for bringing this to light....and I definitely will not be purchasing these at all. Too much at stake... And getting sick from something like this is not something I'm willing to take a chance with!! Nope
Thank you Heather for this vital information. I purchased some Tattler reusable lids during the lid shortage and needed more but they weren’t available so I went to Harvest Gard. I haven’t used any of the Harvest Gard lids yet and now I don’t think I want to. I would really like to send them back and get a refund. Then I could purchase more Tattlers. This is really upsetting to me. Thank you again. God Bless and Lots of Love ❤
Absolutely don’t be afraid to reach out to them. Did you purchase them in 2021?
Thank You Heather for the Information!!! We SHOULD have FULL disclosure & Information BEFORE we buy and NOT just HOPE NO one Ever knows the REAL TRUTH, (until ALL faulty or Misrepresented product is Sold or A Company Sells Out). GOD BLESS YOU & TAKE Care of You & All there LOVE YOU LADY!!
This point is 💯!!!!
Happy HAPPY Birthday from East Texas!
I’m not jumping on the Harvest Gard reusable lids.
Thank you❤️
Happy Belated Birthday! Nice to see your doing better. Thanks for keeping us informed and aware of this issue. Much appreciated. Take care, Blessings.
Great Info, Thank you for watching our backs. I just purchased a freeze drier so I could get away from so much freezer space being used. I can a lot of food, but there are things I want that I can Freeze dry and keep for long-term use. I pray you can invest in a FD one day.
Another testimony in favor of a FD!😆👏🏻
Thank you for this video. With canning season right around the corner, I'm sure there are many who are considering reusable (both parts) canning lids. I have several hundred tattler lids myself and was considering purchasing some harvest guard also. Well, I'm not considering that anymore. It's my duty as a steward of the finances God has given me, that I manage them to the best of my ability. What causes companies support, where they donate finances as well as their integrity are as important to me as the price I pay.
Happy belated birthday 🥳 🎂Heather. Bravo for taking a stand, you are absolutely correct. So proud of you for getting to bottom of this lid issue 👏🏼🥰❤️
Thank you so much🤗
Thank you for taking the time to tackle this. I had not heard this was going on
Happy birthday! 🥳🎉🎁🎈🕯 Mine is this Friday. 👍🏻🤗
Wow. I’ve bought multiple times from these people since 2020. They advertised them as reusable, obviously, which is why I bought them. That’s crazy. I spent a lot of money on them. THANK YOU for asking this company the same questions I had when I saw this yesterday!
Well he claims the non reusable went out in 2021. So you may be ok? But the lack of full disclosure and openness makes me question everything. What to believe?
Thank you Heather, you are so good to do this for all of us. Right is right!
Thank you Heather for standing up and knowing what's wrong and letting us who don't know as much as you know. Ty TY Ty !!
💋❤️
Thank you Heather for your due diligence and helping us all out. God bless you sister in Christ. You look fantastic and I’m eternally grateful to God you are well.
Thank you so much!❤️
Thank you so much for this post purchased these as a new canner in 2020 due to the shortage. I had the reusable rings to purchase soon in my cart! Ill be purchasing from tattler instead.
After seeing your video on the Harvest guard reuseable lids. I won't waste my time and money. I like the fact that the Tattler lids are trusted. Thank you for the fyi
Happy Birthday late💖💖💖💖💖💖💕💕
Just popping in without watching video…. Sorry,just busy,busy,busy today.Have had TATTLER for several years,still have an occasional non seal (likely my mess up) got a few from another company,did not like them as well.
Hi Heather, I don’t know if you know UA-camr Stephanie of Little Blessed Nest, but her husband passed this last Friday. She could use some love and I know you know her loss.
So happy to here your test results and love all your videos. ❤
I do not but i found her channel…i think? But she posted a video on storage 6 hours ago and when i scrolled through her videos could not find one regarding her husband. So i am not sure? Have her email me at thekneadyhomesteader@gmail.com and i would absolutely talk with her if she is up to it. Or is interested. Grief is so different for everybody. But maybe i have the wrong channel?

Thank you for bringing this up. I am a novice canner and have never heard of reusable gaskets such as these. I have only used Bernardin lids and honestly would like to use something "resuable" but not at the expense of my families well being.
I have some videos on Tattler reusable if you ever want to take a look!
Hey Heather, I remember when you bought the Tattler lids and bulk a few years ago I also purchased some. And I totally agree with everything you have said. And so glad you're doing better. I watched your unboxing and your sons. And we can see that they do spoil their mama. Take care stay safe and God bless y'all
Feels like a different lifetime ago.
My mother has been a tattler customer for over 20 years
Tattler has been absolutely wonderful and helpful.
Happy 50th !
Thankyou for sharing this issue . I had gone by what was advertised and bought but not so many cause so nervous to try . Snake oil salesman selling his business buyer's beware.
I love your passion! Thank you for keeping us informed. Hugs and prayers!
GOD bless you for having our backs. Thank you. Those were very well written letters. Impressive
Thank you. I was a bit hot under the collar when I wrote it. 😆 I was trying not to be snarky but….
Happy Birthday Heather. Love hearing you no apologies about your voice needed.
Thank you🤗
I buy tattler and have never purchased the harvest right. You go, Heather, your 100% right.
Me too but my good friends purchased HG and I am righteously angry for them.
Happy Birthday 🎉. Thank you for the info!
God Bless you! 💛
Thanks for valuable information. I have had good success with golden harvest and the mainstays Walmart brand. I always used only ball but when I couldn’t get anything else used GH and the Mainstays and haven’t had one problem.
Hi, Heather.
1) Happy 50th!
2) My mother and grandmother got me into canning when I was 12. They stressed the importance of doing everything correctly so that nobody got sick. I am 68 now... so, yes, I’ve been canning for a while!
3) The one-time-use lids from BALL and KERR is all I’ve ever used. I’m not willing to change.
4) Poor decisions certainly explain why the company is now for sale! Thank you for bringing these concerns to light!
Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA - 5/7/2923.
I don’t even do any canning, but my mother did, so I’m familiar with what you’re saying. I agree with every single thing you said. The response back to you from the president of the company that sells the faulty canning rings, was severely lacking. Good luck to you. Hope your voice gets better soon and happy birthday!
Well done Heather and you NAILED it sistah' with " Sir , you had ONE job".
Right? 😆. I hate being snarky but…..honestly! He had one job!
Belated Happy Birthday, Heather!!! VERY GRATEFUL you have brought this to our attention!
I bought a large number of Harvest Guard lids/gaskets in 2021. This would have been my first time using reusable lids/gaskets. Haven't used any yet, (in fact they are still in their unopened shipping box), because I received a windfall blessing of standard lids. Now I don't even want to use them, because I can't tell the difference in gaskets since I have nothing to compare to! Have received no notice at all from HG. A batch recall notice (email is fine)would be nice so we newbies could tell which ones we have. I open jars that I canned a month ago, so they could have too. Now I'm wondering what my recourse is, they weren't cheap to purchase.
100% AGREED Heather!! I'm so glad you spoke up about this, & I REALLY hope that business owner changes his perspective & somehow remedies the situation further! This is a serious problem, a serious food safety risk!!!
Thank you Heather. Shady business practice for sure where the almighty dollar is all that matters. 💕✌️
I appreciate you looking out for us and letting us know what you have found out and taking the time to email Harvest Gard and make this video informing us of what you found out you are truly a wonderful person I learned how to can from you I go back and watch your canning videos I have been water bath canning for the past 3 years I started pressure canning for about a year and a half I myself have never used a reusable lid and would have no clue if something was wrong with the gasket thank you again I have been working at stocking my party for a year and it does help in a pinch it helped after I have surgery and was on rest for 6 weeks 🥰🥰 sending love and healing prayers 🥰🥰
Exactly agree with you. God bless you and your family ❤️✝️
Hmmm....i must have a mix of gaskets. Only one recently was stretched oddly after use and I'm quite sure none of my gaskets have been used more than a couple times so far. I've had no jars fail/spoil on rhe shelf. I agree that the website should be updated with new info. I will continue to use the lids/gaskets and inspect them as I knew I'd need to as the white lids have a lifetime use but the gaskets were meant to have limited use, reusable 6-8 times. Truly, the one that was stretched out was extremely obvious. I'm more inclined to be upset at the shutdowns forced upon us all which so devastatingly impacted businesses, individuals, mental health, etc. The company should be forthright about the Harvest Guard lids, yet I'm not ready to discontinue their use. Happy canning.
Absolutely! And as long as you know. I mark my gaskets with a line every time i use it so i know how many uses i have left. And don’t get me started on my soapbox about the shut downs. 😆 i live in michigan where they banned the sales of garden seeds and supplies as well as paint and kids clothing! While our governor locked us down she flew to florida for vacation! I definitely have my rants on all of that. 😆 God Bless and Happy Canning!
Thanks for standing up for all the canner’s. Prayer’s and Love to you and your family. ❤️💕
Heather I love your honesty and that you stand up for what's right.
Thank you. I appreciate that. 🥹❤️
I am so thankful for bringing this information out to your subscribers, Heather. I am also thankful that I have never bought Harvest Right. I have bought traditional lids by the sleeve from an Amish store that has free shipping over $50 spent.
Thats how i like to buy mine. I believe they are Bernardin/Ball brand without the stamping.
I have read Harvest Guard and Tatler brands for reusable lids with gaskets for canning. In your message you refer to Harvest Right. I know that Harvest Right sells freezer dryers. So I’m wondering if you typed in the wrong company name or if you were actually referring to Harvest Right. Thank you for clarifying for me.
Heather you are 'badass' ! Thank you so much for looking out for us & protecting us due to your good heart, your sharp observance and deduction abilities, and your wise assessment of the situation with the non-reusable component of the Harvest Right lids. Dare I say they may have earned the nickname 'Harvest Wrong'? Thank you for calling a spade a spade & shedding light and truth on a dark murky Harvest Right lid situation. I'm so glad I didn't stock up on this brand during the pandemic.
That made me laugh. I call Rite Aid Wrong Aid because they always mess up my prescriptions! 😆😆😆😆
Bless you for looking out for all the "newbies" out there. I would not have caught that. Thank you so much, you see God has used you to help your fellow canners!
I am so grateful that I only canned a few jars in a batch with these lids for fear these would fail. 2020-2021 I am grateful for Pur and ForJars to coming to the rescue as I even noticed the quality with Ball and Ker lids went down during this time. Thank you Heather for being an advocate to our canning community
Just as an fyi - Pur is a distribution company that jumped on the bandwagon in 2020. Originally, they sold PPE and then added the China made canning lids. Their website shows Pur Health Group. As far as ForJars go, they are also China made and imo haven’t passed the time test.
Those lids are made in China junk and I refuse to finance their war against us
@@renalarue6988 Wow! That's good information! Thank you!!!
Well you just saved me a lot of hassle. I bought these thinking I would be saving money in the long run. Guess I get scammed
@@renalarue6988 You are absolutely right about that Rena. Passing the test of time is what matters. The forjars lids are not worthy of all the praise some of the canners are giving them. It was so easy for them to turn on Ball after all the years of tried and true results.
i thought the line in the email read 6-8 uses not 6-8 years? Oh and happy belated birthday 🎂 🎉..thx marie from 🇨🇦
Well they figure you can once a year. So if you can and put your food by then typically, 1 canning lid session a year. Thats average.
@@TheKneadyHomesteader oh ok i understand what they mean..i guess when you can more often then, 6-8 uses may not be that long..thx again
You are so amazing, you should be a lawyer yourself. This is a very valuable video and yes, it is about food safety and not making someone very sick or worse die from food that is not sealed by using unreliable canning equipment.
Hello from KY love you and your channel and your family ❤️.Thank you for sharing this information
Thank you for your wise words of wisdom! 💖
Happy birthday sweetie! Thank you for sticking to your guns!
Good job Heather! Thank you so much for standing in the gap for all of us canners! Companies like this that conceal information makes consumer's very upset for all the reasons you mentioned. I have never used Harvest Guard EVER. MOST of my canning jars with the lids that came from Dollar General were selling Harvest Guard jars for canning and those lids did fail on me....not all but many.
Funny that there is no mention of this issue on their Facebook page. Thanks for the heads up on this issue!!!
I looked! I too could not find anything.
Happy belated birthday! Thank you for this sharing this information
Thank you🤗
Heather, you are a total jewel to our world of canning. You and a few others I watch. I have been canning for a few years now and there are very few UA-camrs I go to for my information (so I feel safe doing it). We all appreciate you and your knowledge of canning and your sincerity. I'm pretty sure we can all say, WE LOVE YOU, and THANK YOU for all you do, for each one of us! My prayer is that for the good you have done for US on this video, it doesn't come back to bite you for your honest opinion (and ours too). You know how people are these days, anything we say has to be "guarded" or we are sued, etc. Thank you sweetheart for all you do. HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY and may God bless you with MANY MANY MORE!
I prayed over that. But his email asked me for my influence over my circle. So, he doesn’t get to say what that entails. For me it entails honesty and integrity. Plus I have a team of lawyers, i have on retainer. 😆👍🏻 His email admitted to everything I just asked the questions and shared his answers.
@@TheKneadyHomesteader And I am super happy you did, and I also prayed for you on this whole thing. Much love to you
I myself am thankful for you watching out of us new canner's. I myself haven't been canning very long, but I only use the lids that come with my ball jars. After this video and info, I think I'll be doing more research on canning jars and lids before I continue. Thanks again for informing us all.
Wow, this is appalling! Thanks for sharing Heather. I just learned to can last summer and was planning on buying reusable lids soon. It will be tattler for me. Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for doing the time of investigating this situation. I have learned so much from you on canning, your spiritual response to the disaster your family is still going thru and i have tremendous respect for your integrity and your faithfulness to our Savior.
Thank you so much ❤️🙏🏻
I bought only a couple of boxes of these reusable lids two years ago but I haven't used them yet because I still had ball lids. I was going to buy more but I don't think I want to now. Thank you for putting this out for us. Happy belated birthday 💝I hope you feel better soon.
Thank you🤗
Oh wow 😳!!!! Happy Birthday. You got this girl !!!! 💓💖❤️🙏
Thank you! I need to invest in some reusable lids one of the things on my long list!
Thank you so much for posting this video. We need more people like you! Bless you
Heather, thank you for this video. My Mom canned and unfortunately I never took the time to learn this from her. I would very much like to learn to can and hoping to learn from you. ❤ Hope you are feeling better and recovering well. Praying 🙏 for you and your sweet family. 💞 Hope you had a wonderful birthday.
Thank you Heather for posting this video. This just disturbs me to the core. God help us all because this company has undoubtedly sold these gaskets and we have been deceived that our jars haven’t got good seals that are supposed to be reusable. Thank you so much for making me aware of these gaskets.
Heather. YOU are on fire! Thank you so much for making us aware of this VITAL information that Harvest Guard didn't think was important to share with their customers.
I consider myself a sporadic canner. I've canned for years but not regularly.
I did purchase the HG lids when Ball lids were impossible to find. They have been sitting on my shelf, as i was using up my stock of Ball lids. So tomorrow, i need to check the date on the package and see if they were prior to 2021.
I also purchased specially designed lid openers from HG for $4.00 each.
I was extremely disappointed with how flimsy they were for that price. I worked for a while but didn't last long before it snapped. At the time i was going to complain to the company but during the height of the pandemic there were more pressing issues.
Anyway, i just wanted to Thank you for sharing this info.
I am also SHARING THIS VIDEO for all my canning friends!
Happy Birthday, May God continue to bless you with all that you do. Thanks so much for this video. As I am going to start canning and this was very informative, I am a little aprehensive to get started but I will get the Ball's book and lids and then need to learn how my pressure XL works as a canner. I'll get there wish me luck. God bless.
You are a Canning Queen! Take your throne!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Wow, to know all you have been through and to hear you so clearly and adamantly stick to your guns. Mind blowing. Thank you for standing up for others.
Probably more now than ever before because I am on bonus time 😆
I would definitely be worried about longevity of the lids!😮😱
Me too!
God bless you, Heather! Happy late birthday 🎉❤
Thank you🤗
Happy Belated Birthday my dear sweet friend! Wish you the best and I love seeing each and everytime! Sorry I thought I was on my channel. Tony, from Kettle Kitchen.
Thank you🤗
Thank you for everything you do. I had contemplated buying Harvest Guard a few months ago. I chose Tattler, because of their reputation and the many years they have been in business. For disposable I use only Ball. I would not call myself an expert in canning, but I am not new to canning. I am new to the reusable product and would have not realized this. Thank you for standing up and calling the company out. Thank you for the hard work you do for us.
Glad you went with Tattler. I have been happy with mine. I havent canned with them since before our tragedy. But all of my jars from 2020 are still sealed in my pantry. 👍🏻
1.) I wa a new canner in 2020 and purchased Tattler lids. Since then, ive struggled with buth Tattlers and Ball lids not sealing in the canning process, and unsealing randomly on the shelf!! Thank you for your honest opinion and advocacy.
2.) I hope Tattler will continue to sell individual gaskets. I had heard that they weren't selling just the gaskets anymore, which would conflict with what you were told about their inventory in the millions. Wondering about that issue sonce i have at least half a dozen sets. 😮
I was able to find them on their website! www.reusablecanninglids.com/products/item-36-100-replacement-rubber-rings-regular-mouth-rings-only-bulk-free-shipping-within-the-contiguous-usa
@@TheKneadyHomesteader thank you for taking the time to look it up and forward the link!!
Thank you for being s great consumer advocate.
You get'um Heather! Love you and appreciate you very much!
Hi Heather, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you making this video and exposing Harvest Guard's shoddy business practices. I'm so glad you also took the extra step of reaching out to Tattler and confirming their supply of lids and gaskets are still the same quality. Thank you for saving me time and money!
Absolutely!!!!!! We are all in this together!
