I don’t have any tattler lids, but what I do is reuse my Ball(etc) lids. I have had 100% success rate and have used them over and over. I make sure before I use them that they still pop loud and are not bent. I am 81 years old and still canning year round. Meat, veggies, soups, pie fillings, jellies, etc. It’s not recommended by the FDA, but that is what I do and it works for me. It was recommended to me by an elderly gentleman years ago.
I too have no issues reusing lids. As long as they are in good shape I have had zero problems. I am curious though, do you ONLY reuse lids that the undercoating is still intact with ZERO rust or blemishes? I am finding most lids even after I use them only once have rust or blemishes on the underside. They are now so poorly made that I notice these blemishes IMMEDIATELY AFTER pulling them from the pressure or water bath canner!! Unfortunately, this has been the case even with my 1st box of ForJar lids too. ForJars has replaced them which I appreciate, but I am hoping the quality really is there & I just got a faulty batch, fingers crossed.
@@jenniferpepler5843 Hello Jennifer, yes I only reuse lids that the undercoating is intact(zero rust or blemishes). Another thing I forgot to mention before is if my lid has a slight bend at the edge, I stand it up where the bend is against a hard surface and rock the lid back and forth a few times to bring it back in shape. I don’t throw it away. I have reused my lids many, many times. Have had excellent results. I hope this is helpful. Best wishes.
You have opened my eyes to many ways of canning & feel you are so correct. If there are people in other countries & even the Amish here, who are doing very well not using the USDA standards, really gets you yo think. Thank you again for being that voice.❤ also love that shirt.😉
A word of caution, from a Tattler-user. If you are a beginner…start with the single-use lids FIRST. The “learning-curve is real…but doable. Expect about a 10-15% failure rate, your first time. This is “normal”, until you get used to them. Are they worth learning and mastering? Yes.
I only used my Tattlers for water bath canning one or 2 jars in a batch. If they failed, it could go in the fridge for immediate use. As I became comfortable, I did more jars then a few in a pressure batch. There is definitely a learning curve.
I have canned for close to 15 years now. I am interested in learning about these lids but am wondering why you think there is such a learning curve with them? It seems pretty straightforward so I don't understand why there would be such a high failure rate for us newbies. Your thoughts are appreciated!! Thanks so much! God Bless!
@ the process is slightly different than regular lids with rings. You have 3 parts with the Tattler or Harvest Guard lids. Finger tighten for Ball style lids. Tighten Tattler/Harvest Guard lids then back off 1/4”. Never crank down on a Ball style lids but when you remove Tattler/Harvest Guard from the canner, you crank down until it cools down. FYI, Tattler and Harvest Guard are owned by the same family so basically the same lid/gasket system. I have both.
I watched a video of someone who turned her rings "backwards" to get them to thread before screwing it clockwise like you did, and I found that helpful for finding rings that will work.
I've never used tattler lids so found this video very informative. Thank you. Regarding the stripped or warped ring...I have some of those too. I spotted it as soon as you threaded it onto the jar. It wouldn't have sealed, and quite likely it would have come off during the canning process. What I've been doing with those defective or damaged rings is mark them immediately with a Sharpie pen so I don't attempt to use them again for canning. (NFC - not for canning) They're still okay to use for temporary storage of things that don't need to be sealed.
Bless your heart! I had no clue these existed. I grew up with Slavic canning as a kid and now I am learning SO MUCH from you. You're the only channel I need, really❤
I find if you tighten them down slightly less than regular lids I get a better seal percentage. Next time put some food coloring in the water in the jars to see if any siphoning is occurring.
I am so glad you are doing this video. I just bought a large bag of tattler lids from the thrift store for $3.00! They didn't know what they were hahaha yeah for me!
Watching your videos makes me miss PA. One consolation is, is that I finally perfected Pot Pie squares. I made some made PA Dutch Chicken Pot Pie using your canned chicken recipe and shared it with my neighbor, and she loved it!!!
Just a tip. If you have trouble starting the ring try turning it “backwards” and it will climb up slightly then drop down into the correct thread then tighten down normally. This will prevent you cross threading the ring.
I started purchasing the Tattler lids about 6 to 7 years ago, before covid. I was so glad that I had them. Definately a learning curve. I had to reseal several jars until I learned. What I didnt know was the trick of waiting 5 minutes and then snuggling the lids. I am getting ready to do carrots, so will definately be trying the snuggling. Might be why some do not seal well. Thank you for the tutorial.
@MarilynGoodwin-po6qi Yes they are. When you notice them getting dry and brittle is when you toss them or if damaged. When I store them, I use a food grade mineral.oil to rub on them. It doesnt take much. That helps to keep them soft and pliant. I wash them when I wash my jars to can.
I’ve been using a similar lid for as long as I can remember.. I use glass lids!they belonged to my grandma in the 40s-90s when she retired from canning I inherited. It’s getting harder and harder to find the orange rubber rings so stock up when you see them! The white rubber rings ( or thicker rubber)must be boiled before use!
@@metalmartha2571 I do not believe that I have ever seen the glass lids. I am going to have to look those up. They fascinate me. Do you use them like the Tattler or like the metal? I guess I am asking, are there tricks like Tattler or the procedure as the metal?
I have had that threading issue before. There is some jars that have a wider thread spacing. Perhaps one from a Store Product? Then the rings dont screw as low on them. And sometimes the rings can become Bent. The rings they send with new jars are actually pretty flimsy and if you one to try to pop the lid, they bend. Ive also noticed rings denting down OR up, in the center hole area. I will fix them by carefully bending by hand, finger pressure is all it takes! I checked into Tattler once. At that time the prices were really high, so i passed on them. With today's prices for throw aways, i should reassess. I am glad you showed Us hiw to Do this System! Thanks! ❤
I have some Tattler lids, but I haven’t used them much. I didn’t like that they don’t ping and you can’t write on the lid the contents. I love that you give information on a lot of different things!
i use a china marker (grease pencil) to write on the lids, then wash with hot water. A little baking soda if the writing is stubborn. I do miss the ping, but the cost savings makes up for it.
Don't ever apologize for bring your natural self. Life is very busy when you have minor children at home. I have been wanting to try tattler lids. I just purchased some. Thank you for the reminder. I had the same issues in 2020 getting lids or getting ones that would seal. It was a learning experience. Recently, I have been investing in weck jars the past few years. I really like weck jar seals. Have a Blessed Day ✌️
I had just bought some but not used them yet. I’m in the UK and canning isn’t a thing here, I can get 100 cheap lids on Amazon for about 16usd but I get quite a lot of lid failures. I have just oredered my first forjar lids but they cost 45usd for a pack of 100, again not tried these yet but only have a couple of the old ones so will be trying them very soon. I got 24 tattler lids for 45usd so I only need to use each one 3-4 times to break even versus forjar lids, it’ll also be good to see what level of failures I get
One of the best things to add to your canning supplies is a pair of rubber dipped gardening gloves. I use a brand new pair and they are strictly for canning. They allow me to get a good grip on the jars/rings without burning my hands.
I, too, could only get Tattler lids during covid. I have 100 of each size. Trying them with water is a good idea. I don't wear make up except church and sometimes doctor visit You don't need it, you are beautiful naturally!! Thank you for the demo as I only used them for vaccum sealing. Have a blessed evening. Tina ❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
I stocked up on these during the shortage a few years ago. I will say that I do not like using them. They are a pain. I've had at least one jar not seal with each load I've processed using these. A few of them have come unsealed in my pantry. I don't use them anymore. I just keep them incase I can't get any metal flats in the future. They are definitely a good option if you can't afford disposable lids. Thank you for sharing this video.
When i ordered my Tattler lids, i ordered extra rubber rings. These make single use metal lids reusable. They must be clean from previous use. I also use these 1per batch. You must screw down Tattler as soon as you take out of the canner. It is an extra step. The best rings i own are Ball green , blue and red. Wish they would make these again.
Good morning, I have been using something similar. Mine are the glass lids with the rubber gasket. They're amazing, however, I cringe every time I go to unseal them. Can you please bring that up in you videos please and maybe demonstrate that? Thank you
L-O-V-E the shirt! 🥰❤️ Trying out a new system with water first is a great tip! I have some of these lids but wasn’t sure……fear of the unknown. I will definitely be giving them a whirl! Thank you for the great info!!
Thanks you for this video. love all the hints. I'm been using Tattler for 5 year. I mark after each use with a sharpie ..I'm up to 8 marks on 70% of my rubber . I am wondering when should i buy new rubber rings.
I really like the idea of using glass lids. I’ve tried to pick some up secondhand, but a lot of them are Canadian so they don’t fit our jars correctly. I’ve even thought about going to using Weck jars but they are so expensive and I really like the design of our jars and the fact that they fit properly in my canner, even if I had to pay two or three dollars apiece for them. Also, have you seen that someone is now putting out a stainless steel ring so that you don’t have to worry about them getting all rusted
I've always unloosened my pressure canner lid when (pressue has dropped) for 5 minutes before removing my jars. Would that count for the 5 minutes before tightening the ring? I have 100s of Tatlers but the fail rate for me has been very wasteful of food. I need to practice with water.
@victorialg1270 I wonder if you are doing the same thing my dad did with his. Many older recipes that are hot water processed that seal just because they're hot product being placed in hot jars will not work with these lids. My dad thought they would cuz that's how he's always made his relish and jam. When using tattler lids you can put hot product into hot jars but then you have to put that jar, as she has shown you, into hot water- bring to boil then time it for 10-15 minutes depending on jar size. I'm not sure I explained that well but hopefully I did.
The Tattler company says to tighten the ring then back it off 1/4 inch initially before processing. Then after processing you do crank it down after the initial rest period. I miss the ‘pings”, though. Also when you remove the lid for use, you can mark the red ring with a mark after each processing use. The life of each ring is said to be about 10 uses.
Do read the instructions that come with the Tattler lids. Head space is 1 inch, even for tomato sauce. USDA guidelines for tomato sauce say 1/4 inch headspace, but with tattler lids that will not work. (Ask me how I know. Ugh). I use a china marker to write on the lids date and product. This can be washed off with hot water, scrub with baking soda if needed. I miss the ping, but the savings and always on hand make up for it. There is a learning curve, but worth it. Practicing with water is a good idea!
Great video, but you forgot to include that the Tattler lids are supposed to be warmed along with the rubber gaskets when using. Do you use the regular silver mason jar opener with those lids? I just ordered my pretty teal or green lids I have had in my shopping cart for quite a while now. I love your videos!
I have a question. I live in South Africa. I inherited some very old jars. The brand is Consol... That is our equivalent of Ball. Our lid sizes correspond with ball wide mouth jars. The jars come with a similar system than the tattler lids, bit the disc on top is made of glass. The rubber seals look exactly the same....Consol Glass do not manufacture the rubber seals anymore. I have about 80 jars like that. Do you think that the tattler seals will work with the glass lids?
i learned something this year with my tattler, if my MASON jars my tattler, don't spring off the jar, but like MAINSTAY jars have to either have original lids OR a mason, kerr lid, I don't know why literally JUMPPeD off my jar
I know this is somewhat off topic. But, I want to say thank you. I have watched several of your videos and have felt comfortable enough to water bath several items. Success. My question is, do you have any opinion on the electric canners? Ones that pressure can and water bath.
Super sweet words, thank you. I wish I could give you an opinion on electric canners. I do not have one or have ever used one. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.
These look like plastic, my concern would be chemicals leaching out into my food from the heat, and the micro plastics. What are your thoughts on this?
Are TATTLER Reusable Canning Lids Safe? In one single word, YES! TATTLER Reusable Plastic Canning Lids are manufactured using a plastic compound that is safe for direct contact with food products. We utilize an FDA and USDA approved, food grade product known as Polyoxymethylene Copolymer (POM) or Acetal Copolymer. The rubber rings (gaskets) are made from a food grade nitrile rubber and contain no latex. Neither formulation contains any Bisphenol A (BPA) or phthalates! TATTLER Reusable Plastic Canning Lids are manufactured using a plastic compound that is safe for direct contact with food products.We utilize an FDA and USDA approved, food grade product known as Polyoxymethylene Copolymer (POM) or Acetal Copolymer. The product we use is compliant with applicable FDA regulations for food contact subject to the limitations listed below. This product is formulated using polyacetal base resin that is compliant for use in food contact applications according to (CFR), Title 21, 177.2470. Any additives, that may be present, comply with appropriate, specific FDA Regulations. Limitations: Types of food: All types of food except foods containing 15% or more alcohol.Conditions of Use: Use temperature not to exceed 250 deg F per 177.2470. Additionally, this plastic is approved by the USDA for direct contact use with meat and poultry products, as well as meeting the Sanitary Standards 3A Compliance for the Dairy and Food Industries Supply Association (DFISA). What about Formaldehyde? Many questions have been asked about the existence of formaldehyde in Acetal Copolymer. While it is true formaldehyde is present in trace amounts, research proves it is only released at very high temperatures, well above any temperatures found in home food canning. Here are the facts. Heating our brand of acetal copolymer above 460 degrees F (238 C) should be avoided. At these temperatures, formaldehyde, a colorless and irritating gas that can be harmful in high concentrations, is generated.
I was worried about that too but the contents don't actually touch the lid. I've just started learning about microplastics so if I'm not right, plz correct me!!!
I started "collecting" harvest guard lids during covid. I think next year I'll have enough but I also use old bail type jars. Anyways... just buy some every year! The more you buy, the cheaper they are
Ladies, enjoy the instruction she is trying to teach you and ignore what offends you. This video is not about you and she knows who is in charge, the REAL KING, our Lord Jesus! The days of everyone being offended, it’s long overdue to leave people alone, just love one another and stop focusing on differences. In humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interest of the others. Philippians 2:3-4 Whoever would foster love covers over an offense, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends. Proverbs 17:9

I don’t have any tattler lids, but what I do is reuse my Ball(etc) lids. I have had 100% success rate and have used them over and over. I make sure before I use them that they still pop loud and are not bent. I am 81 years old and still canning year round. Meat, veggies, soups, pie fillings, jellies, etc. It’s not recommended by the FDA, but that is what I do and it works for me. It was recommended to me by an elderly gentleman years ago.
The FDA is a bad joke..............listen to people who actually can.
I have done this a few times also. I too, had success. Tina 😊

As long as the jar is sealed and the lid is not rusting it should not matter that the lid has been used before.
In Norway we always have rubber ring, and glasstopp. In hundrede of years, and IT works. We Just waterbath

Right?
Do read the instructions that come with the Tattler lids. Head space is 1 inch, even for tomato sauce. USDA guidelines for tomato sauce say 1/4 inch headspace, but with tattler lids that will not work. (Ask me how I know. Ugh). I use a china marker to write on the lids date and product. This can be washed off with hot water, scrub with baking soda if needed. I miss the ping, but the savings and always on hand make up for it. There is a learning curve, but worth it. Practicing with water is a good idea!
Do you use tattler lids when canning meat via a water bath?
We ended up using our generic covid panic mode lids for vacuum sealing dry foods for storage. so far so good for dry but only 4 in 7 for canning.
Great video, but you forgot to include that the Tattler lids are supposed to be warmed along with the rubber gaskets when using. Do you use the regular silver mason jar opener with those lids? I just ordered my pretty teal or green lids I have had in my shopping cart for quite a while now. I love your videos!
AWESOME VIDEO...TYVM!!! I have 1 question...can you wash and reuse the Tattler lid seals, or are they a one time use only? TY!
How long are they good for
I don’t know exactly, but I know of some ladies that have been using the same Tattler lid since like 1980 lol. Not the rubber part but the lid.
I have a question. I live in South Africa. I inherited some very old jars. The brand is Consol... That is our equivalent of Ball. Our lid sizes correspond with ball wide mouth jars. The jars come with a similar system than the tattler lids, bit the disc on top is made of glass. The rubber seals look exactly the same....Consol Glass do not manufacture the rubber seals anymore. I have about 80 jars like that. Do you think that the tattler seals will work with the glass lids?
i learned something this year with my tattler, if my MASON jars my tattler, don't spring off the jar, but like MAINSTAY jars have to either have original lids OR a mason, kerr lid, I don't know why literally JUMPPeD off my jar
Are these the old style tattler lids, or E-Z seals?
I know this is somewhat off topic. But, I want to say thank you. I have watched several of your videos and have felt comfortable enough to water bath several items. Success. My question is, do you have any opinion on the electric canners? Ones that pressure can and water bath.
Super sweet words, thank you. I wish I could give you an opinion on electric canners. I do not have one or have ever used one. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more helpful.
These look like plastic, my concern would be chemicals leaching out into my food from the heat, and the micro plastics. What are your thoughts on this?
Are TATTLER Reusable Canning Lids Safe?
In one single word, YES! TATTLER Reusable Plastic Canning Lids are manufactured using a plastic compound that is safe for direct contact with food products. We utilize an FDA and USDA approved, food grade product known as Polyoxymethylene Copolymer (POM) or Acetal Copolymer.
The rubber rings (gaskets) are made from a food grade nitrile rubber and contain no latex.
Neither formulation contains any Bisphenol A (BPA) or phthalates!

Additionally, this plastic is approved by the USDA for direct contact use with meat and poultry products, as well as meeting the Sanitary Standards 3A Compliance for the Dairy and Food Industries Supply Association (DFISA).
What about Formaldehyde?
Many questions have been asked about the existence of formaldehyde in Acetal Copolymer. While it is true formaldehyde is present in trace amounts, research proves it is only released at very high temperatures, well above any temperatures found in home food canning. Here are the facts.
Heating our brand of acetal copolymer above 460 degrees F (238 C) should be avoided. At these temperatures, formaldehyde, a colorless and irritating gas that can be harmful in high concentrations, is generated.
I was worried about that too but the contents don't actually touch the lid. I've just started learning about microplastics so if I'm not right, plz correct me!!!
They do have antique glass lids that you could probably use with the Tattler rubber rings and a ring.
@cynthiafisher9907 yep! I've been collecting those too!!!
Good demonstration of the lids but the cost is high
I can't even imagine the cost of buying enough tattle lids to cover all my jars!
I started "collecting" harvest guard lids during covid. I think next year I'll have enough but I also use old bail type jars. Anyways... just buy some every year! The more you buy, the cheaper they are
Don’t like seeing that shirt on you! Please don’t fall Donald’s BS.
It doesn’t matter to me who is on the shirt, I’d rather not see political messages on videos about other things. It’s just distracting and divisive.
Ladies, enjoy the instruction she is trying to teach you and ignore what offends you. This video is not about you and she knows who is in charge, the REAL KING, our Lord Jesus! The days of everyone being offended, it’s long overdue to leave people alone, just love one another and stop focusing on differences.
In humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interest of the others. Philippians 2:3-4
Whoever would foster love covers over an offense, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends. Proverbs 17:9
She is an adult who can pick out her own clothes. I was so interested in the content that I never noticed the shirt except that I liked the color. Keep your victim mentality to yourself. 😊
@@lajohnson1967 @jodyw9531 Thanks for your response, you’re right. I wasn’t offended, just disappointed. I come to homesteading channels to be entertained and escape the world’s squabbles.
