Hi, I want to say thank you for explaining every thing like I'm 5 years old. When it comes to canning, I'm new at all of this and I feel like a kid. 😊
I sure hope it does not sound like I am talking down to anyone though! I do not see newbies as children, haha! :)
@@RainCountryHomestead no it doesn't it's just simplicity. I know many new to canning people out there appreciate it
@@RainCountryHomestead oh, no, I don't want you to feel bad
😪. You are.loved. You Never talk down to anyone at all... you make all your videos so very fun and very informative. I need that, I don't always know what I'm doing. Let me assure you, you are amazing and I appreciate you so much. It's just me.
Some subjects, sometimes makes me feel like a kid, thats all. 🥰 Much love.
Practice with water is a perfect suggestion 😊
I never heard of tattler lids until 2019 I bought some , I like them
I purchased a bunch of Harvest Guard lids , just received them a week back. I've been using them for dry canning, so far so good. Apparently it is the son of the owner of Tattler who owns Harvest Guard.
Very informative! Thank you. I used Tattler lids for the first time yesterday and I am impressed! You are a great teacher...
Thank you for that.. I got the same burn 2nd degree right wrist. Granted I have only canned black beans once before I attempting cold pack porkloin. Didn't realize I was going for difficulty level 5 combining 1st try with tattler, fatty meat, and 2nd time in adulthood canning. 🤣🤣 Now that the pain has gone I was trying to figure out what I did wrong. Found out fatty meat takes extra care. Then found out there might be differences with the metal vs tattler. Finally found this video and I can say definably I over-tightened. Will be water bath canning lotsa water tomorrows. Thanks again for info.
What a great tip! I just ordered a set of regular and wide mouth. It’s an investment.
3 days ago I processed my first canner of Harvest Guard lids on quarts of soup. Much to my surprise they all sealed and are holding. After reading about them I was expecting at least 1 failure because of the learning curve with a new product. They all sealed, better than the Ball lids I used for soup the same day. I can recommend them and look forward to being able to reuse them.
Customer service is excellent. I had a question and they responded right away.
Thank you for putting this out there, Heidi! 💜
When Tattler came on the market, I was at a canning class offered by my local organic nursery. We each prepped a jar of tomatoes. One of the jars broke in the canner. Great example of overtightened!
I'll probably still use the metal ones for jams and jellies because some of them go out in Christmas baskets. 😉
I have the Harvest Guard lids. Same price. Use them the same way. I get them because they are veteran owned and operated. They have a video on there site how to use them.
Leisa I have both Tattler and HG. Harvest guard is owned by Lorne Steig's Son. Loren is the owner of Tattlers. I like the harvest guard because they are the same as the original tattlers.
Another Leisa! I just have to stop by and say hello! There's not many of us with this spelling!
@@TheLeisamarie my midle name is also Marie
Dee Kauzlar only color. The red ones are great for tomato products since the white tattlers can stain
This video is a godsend for me! I am new to Tattler lids which I came across online while searching for jar flats. I ordered a large amount because I knew if I didn't, they would also be hard to get. I made that mistake when I didn't order the All American pressure canner when I first thought about it in April. Anyway, I used them for the first time to can tomatoes. I had watched videos and followed the instructions exactly only to find lids blown off of the jars and tomatoes everywhere in my tall double canner that had 14 jars in it. In hindsight, I should have done a practice round with water. At this point I should have watched your video but nope, I started another canner full of 14 jars of tomatoes just being extremely careful to make sure I was putting the rings on exactly as the video I had watched. You guessed it, same results. This morning I found your video and wish I would have found it at the start because I discovered I have the EZ seal Tattlers! I'm now going to do a test run with water in the jars but I am confident that I will be successful this time!
I'm excited to watch more of you and your husband's videos!
I use both Tattler and Harvest Guard. The EZ Seal Tattler lids seem to have a burr that sometimes prevents them from sealing. I use a small piece of sand paper to smooth it out. That solved my problem with Tattlers. I've used Tattlers for years and years. I just started using Harvest Guard. The Harvest Guard and Tattler EZ Seal work much the same. I use both wide mouth and regular and can fruits, veggies and meat.
@@roscoandbosshogg3328 I have done this many times and have not had any issue.
I just bought wide and regular Tattlers. Just fed up with trying to find Ball lids. I'm looking forward to using the Tattlers.
Now I’m really wanting to try the tattler lids! I wish I could come across a really good deal for jars! I have a couple hundred but a lot of them are full!!! Sometimes I find a deal at the Goodwill or thrift stores but a lot of times they’re trying to charge for them like as if they were new🤦♀️ great video by the way😊
I noticed in 2020 when a lot of people were getting on the food preservation bandwagon, many items where sold out such as foodsaver tops and more so people were selling used ones on eBay for crazy prices.
Just psi canned 8 pints of beef using tat lids for first time asper your instructions and walla, all eight sealed perfectly. Thanks
Thank you for this information on the Tattler lids. We, who are new at this, need all the help we can get!
Thank you. Nice video. I have been using tattler for about a year. I placed a large bulk order end of August and got phone call directly from the company yesterday that they have shipped then. Excellent company and customer service.
I called the Tattler Company to order some lids & was VERY impressed with the woman who helped me. Wonderful customer service!!
I use the Tattlers on everything, including meats. I found by giving an additional 1/4" of headspace to higher fat content foods, I've had a much better success rate.
I agree with you that everyone's finger tip tight is different. But, I've had failures by putting the bands on really loose. The bands have actually come loose and off the jar, releasing the lid. I still share with people to place their finger on the center top of the lid to lightly hold it down, then tighten the band until the jar turns.
I order all of my Tattler lids from Tattler by bulk as well. I'm waiting for one more order to come. I ran short of regular mouth because that was the only size mouth jars I could find. Many people are ordering them! Blessings 💗
I have been pretty positive that my problem with the meats is that I have not been allowing enough headspace.
Thank you for this post! I've just recently purchased my Tattler lids, and had some failed seals with meats. I knew it was my fault, but wasn't sure what I did wrong. I'll try with a bit more headspace. BTW, the lids I ordered came within 3 days, so shipping and production is great right now.
@K Barnes Hi. I use Tattler lids on 99% of my canning whether it's water bath or pressure canning.
I have both Tattlers and Harvest Guard lids. They work the exact same way. Right now though, both are on backorder. I went over to order another round and that is what I found out.
I was just looking at Tattler a couple days ago and it appeared they were available. It has been crazy how quickly things are going out of stock!
Now I'm really glad I stocked up this spring.
I did exactly this & had all Tattler lids fail on me today, first time using them, the 'easy seals'. I followed instructions precisely. I'm going to have to give this another try because I purchased a lot of them, as well as many replacement lids. 6 boxes of each - regular & wide - plus 72 extra rubber rings of each size.
Did you tighten them down after they came out of the canner? That was the step I would keep forgetting when I first got started with these
Thanks for doing this video. You have a natural talent for instructing. Your explanations are so easy to understand. I have been scared to purchase tatters because I didn't know if I could use them. That's not a problem anymore.
wow great video
just did my first batch of 16 pints of beans (because they're cheap lol) and 0 seal failures
this is perfect thank you
Good video. Clear, concise, direct and on topic. Thank you.
Thank you so much for demonstrating how to tighten and use these lids. I have some, but stopped using them several years ago when a jar of chicken broth exploded on me. Fortunately I had my glasses on, but did get some burns on my arm and face. Looks like I may have tightened the jars too much. I will (cautiously) try again with your way of doing "finger tight".
Thank you. Best explanation on how to use those lids.
Thank you! I like how you showed how to tighten the lids.
Thank you so much for the information. I was considering choosing these lids as a more eco friendly alternative, but my neighbor scared the heck out of me saying she lost a whole harvest due to a bad seal. After watching your video I will move forward with a purchase of these lids and try for myself.
Hi Heidi, The Kneady Homesteader talks about ....Tattler vs Harvest Guard: The comparison between the two. They said the Harvest Guard are the old tattler lids. thought you might want to check it out.
I enjoy Your videos. Thanks for sharing with us.
This hasn't been explained to me like this before. I feel more confident now. Ive only been canning 2 years. I canned when I had an aide but am somewhat afraid right now. I am short on canning my meats. Have cases but want to look forward to when I run out. Thank you for explaining this so well. 💕💓💕
Perfect. Thank you😊
Thank you so much! I just purchased some Tattler Lids and was a little nervous about trying them. I've always hated the idea of single use lids.
I'm so sorry that you got a burn 😪 You're very pretty. Thank you so much for all the help. I've made about 5 pounds of tomato paste tonight. I'm getting ready to do my first batch, but only the water bath method, not the pressure canner method. I've been studying for months and do everything possible not to make a mistake
Great explanation!!
My tomato sauce and peppers pinged😁 still have not used my tattler lids! Tomatoes and pickled peppers I fill into reused jars with the store lids that have rubber seals inside, works perfectly for waterbath ! Also dared to add ground dock and plantain seeds to my bread today, should have done this long ago: delicious!!!!
Great information, Thanks for sharing
Thank you Heidi, for the website for Tattler lids.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Seeing this video for the first time. Very informative since I just ordered tattler lids. Here in Georgetown, Ky lids are very hard to find. Thank you 😊
Thank you very much for demonstrating! I just ordered the Harvest Guard brand - now I don't feel concerned - very helpful!
Thanks for the info, Heidi. With the lid shortages, reusable have become essential. Yes, Harvest Guard works the exact same as the old style tattlers (not the ez seals). Harvest Guard are also slightly cheaper than tattlers and free (and quick) shipping through their site (canninglidsdotcom). Gaskets are interchangeable between the old tattlers and harvest guard. Harvest guard sells a plastic lid opener for $4 which makes it so much easier than holding your breath when opening with a metal utensil, praying you don't score the gasket.
Since the E-Z Seal works the same as the old style, I would assume they all work the same then.
I would guess. I personally don't have any experience with the ez seals for a reference. I do have the older tattlers and the harvest guard. Those I know work the same.
Thank you for this great info
I really like Tattler lids. I have some Harvest Guard lids and I like them as well. They have red ones which I love for my tomato products that I can. I try my best to keep my Reusable lids nice looking since I will be using them indefinitely.
The methods of sealing the lids are the same from both company’s, at least for me.
You did a great explanation of the use of the lids!
Thanks Heidi!! I was wondering about these lids👋👀
I think I will transition to Tattler brand reuseable lids. Thank you for the information.
I needed a refresher.. I've berm using metal lids the past couple years. thank you. Have you tried tattler lids with vacuum sealer?
We were able to purchase some of these tattler lids and rings at an Amish market near the Amish Auction in KY, when we were there recently. Great price for regular and large mouth ones. Thank you for showing us how to properly use them.
Fantastic explanation on how to use these beauties! I do believe between the Tattler lids and the Ball/Kerr, I am good for years to come. Satisfying feeling for sure.
Thank you so much. I bought Tattler lids several years ago, when they had a sale. I hadn't used them yet but knew they were tricky to use so searched for some tips. 👍👍👍
Thanks! I’m about to test run my first tattler in a batch of sloppy joe sauce. I also have harvest guard and they look the same.
So glad you are still using the lids+JMJ+
Thank you for those Tina! :D
Thank you for this. You made it so simple. ❤
I've just switched and so far have only lost one seal... it was to water in my testing. Harvest Guard has some great UA-cam vids. I've now done 2 sets of Pint and a half jars and its great!!
Plus I love my OveGloves! They are sooo old.
Love your videos...
The web site is the best. There response to. To email are phenomenal. By them by bulk not in boxes. Cheaper! Interested into why you do not use tattlers for meats.
I do sometimes but find I am just more likely to have failures with the tattlers on meats but not always, sometimes they were perfectly
Thank you for the video. I always used the regular lids, and knew the sealed by the ping. I got some ez seal tattlers and wasnt sure. They all look great. TY
Great tutorial ! I’m waiting for a delivery of my Tatlers.
Good video Heidi! I will add some tattler lids to my preps.
The Kneady Homesteader and Paul’s Rule of thumb just did a video on her channel on Harvest Guard versus Tattler!
Harvest guard is manufactured by the son of Tattler lids . same family both good products
And Similar to the older style tattler lids.
I chipped one of my tattler lids using a bottle opener. I now place a dry wash cloth on top of the lid before using the bottle opener. If the lid is stubborn I work my way around it. I'm trying hard not to crack another one lol. I love these lids. I've never had one fail.
I just used some for pickled peppers and they work great! They seem to be very well sealed. I even tried to pry them off with my fingers and could not. Sometimes with metal lids you can but not these. I will probably do as you say you do, use them for things besides meat, jam or jelly, pickles etc. Thanks for sharing so much of your knowledge with us!
Thanks Heidi 😊
Thank you for an excellent explanation how to use the tattler lids! I purchased them years ago and tried using them once, did it wrong and just didn't spend the time figuring it out. I will definitely try using them again now. Very helpful :-)
They remind me of wek jars. It’s almost like they could make canning less expensive if they wanted to 😂 I’m gonna get these lids as backups once I get my regular canning skills down pat
Thank you, Heidi. I’ve always been reluctant to order tattler lids. Hard to let go of the familiar. I think I will order a sampler size to see if I like them before investing a lot to discover I don’t like them. 😃
Thank you so much!
Excellent demonstration, Heidi. I had no clue about Tattlers. The closing shot of your canned jars look beautiful!!❣️❣️❣️
Thank you Judy
This was very informative. Thank you for making it understandable for the newbies. Btw I love your hair pulled back like that. And your skin looks so glowy & pretty. Its gotta be that good wholesome living! ❤️
I have been using Tattlers for 10 years and they are now my favorites. I would actually fight someone ocer my Tattlers! Just wish glass jars didn't cost so much but I reckon it's supply and demand at fault. Thanks for the demo - was excellently done. ~Sherrie in South Carolina
Keep an eye open at garage sales and estate sales for inexpensive used canning jars and even canners, tongs, and funnels. You never know WHAT you're going to find. Just make sure to check jars for chips and cracks, just like you would when reusing your own jars. And (it should go without saying) wash them throughly, you never know what they had in them. And don't be afraid to buy jars with food still in them. Of course don't EAT it, but you can often get the jars cheap or even free if you are willing to empty them yourself. You can even compost the fruits and vegetables (not the ones with meat in them though).
Used some Tattlers in a load of raw pack chicken yesterday. All sealed, no issues.
I just bought 2 dozen of each size from tattler. They were cheaper then the harvest guard.
I have both Harvest Guard and Tattler original and E-Z seal. All are used the same.
Harvest Guard is made by Brad Stieg, he is the son of maker of Tattler.
Both brands, are well worth getting.
Thanks for that information Peggy!
Thanks for the info on tattler lids, with the shortage on metal, it's nice to have an alternative method. I don't currently own any, but would be a wise investment, I'm sure, blessings
Thankyou, Thankyou, You also answered a thought that I had. I ordered caps and lids online and when I got them realized they were from China. They were awful. Definitely fake knock offs. Thankyou for sending me the link so quickly. June
I am sorry that happened to you. It makes me so angry how so many people have been scammed. Same happened to me with some boots I ordered that were supposed to be Ariat boots, company appeared to be based in the US but I ended up with some cheap garbage that came straight from China. Here is the video I did about how to watch out for scams because I did a lot of looking into it after that happened to me so I would know what to warn people about:

Thanks for another informative video! Have you tried using the Food Saver vacuum process on the Tattler lids?
Yes, many times, and while I have had some success with the older style lids, the EZ seal lids never hold their seal.
Rain Country - thanks for that update. On the east coast it has been difficult to purchase canning supplies this year. Everyone seems to have taken up the art of canning. God bless you!
@@alphastarcar The shortages are all over, not even just nation wide but world wide
Ball jars and lids are reappearing here! I got 12 doz. jars and didn't wipe our their supply. Plenty for all. Prices most places are similar to pre shortage.
Yes, we were told a number of months ago that canning jars and lids would start coming back into stores in March
I have both Tattler and Harvest Guard. They're both great, but the HG gaskets are very slightly thicker.
Thanks, just what I needed as I wait for my Tattler lids to arrive. Can you tell us what you use to write on the lids and how you remove the writing? On the metal lids I use a sharpie and alcohol to remove.
I use scotch tape or masking tape on Tattlers because the alcohol does not do a good enough job removing the permanent ink from the Tattler lids as they have a texture to them
Just bought our tattler lids, tested them and love them. When I mentioned them in one of my videos several commenters said they lose there seal after several weeks. I directed them to watch this video of yours. But i thought i would ask you. Did you have a problem with losing the seal after several weeks.
P.S. love your channel
Sometimes but it is rare.
Thank you
On a ring/gasket after I have opened a sealed jar and washed the gasket and lid, I put a tick mark on gasket so I can see how many times I have used it. Got idea from another site. I had a couple failures days/weeks after with canned chicken. Lost about 3 jars. Not sure what did wrong as others are still sealed. Thank you. Blessings
Dear Heidi, I have stored my rice in jars with the food saver system. Someone on another channel recommended that we put the rice in the freezer first to protect against bugs. Could you please tell me if this is necessary or not? I don't want to take the jars apart and start over unless it is necessary. I value your opinion and thank you very much. Tami
When people put grains in the freezer, it is only temporary to kill bugs and eggs. While I never bother to do this as weevils are very rarely a problem here, it is a good idea. The main issue I have with this though is making sure that after removing from freezer to put up in dry storage, I would recommend giving them a day (maybe even three depending on size of bag) to dry out in case there was any moisture inside the grains caused by ice crystals.
@@RainCountryHomestead Dear Heidi, Thank you very much for your advice. I will do as you suggested. Tami
I went to this link and got 50.00 of each largemouth 38.00 I was not able to print the receipt so I took a picture with my phone hope it all comes out ok. Thank you for your help I do have some of these but had trouble with the seal now I know just how to do it for when we cannot get metal lids.
I ordered the Tattler lids 6 weeks ago and still don’t have them. The company is backlogged. 🙁 Can’t wait to try them.
I wondered if that was happening since there are so many food storage related supplies that are hard or even impossible to get
Thanks for the info and demo using the Tattler lids. When you store the jars on the shelf, can/should you stack them directly on top of each other or put some type of divider? I usually don't stack my metal lid jars or use a divider when space is limited.
Put a piece of cardboard or something to cushion and space. Remove the band's before storing.
I put the bands back VERY loosely on the bottom layer of jars and put a thin board or cardboard over them, then stack on top of that. I have a video coming out in the near future explaining that better and why I put the bands back on (after they have been cleaned and dried) and show how loose to put them on and why I do that
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼👍💗
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! Can you use the bands from the metal lids or do you have to buy those from them too?
Yes, you use the bands from the metal lids, the Tattlers do not come with bands
good video ☺️💘
Thank you!
Thk u great information
👍 Sehr gut und schön, danke!
We have Never did second tighten hot like you showed .
Have 98% or better success rate.
Will not seal meat again in them, the field mice chew the rubber, didn't break the seal , just not like the looks.
We wash jars off with a vinegar/soap then rinse before store on winter racks.
We tighten similar , will turn till jar moves , grab jar tighten 1/2 turn, back off 1/4. If rings are not new or near perfect , they can create a false feeling.
Hot tighten seem dangerous .
We had great success over the years.
I do most of the canning process. She preps fills , normally I try to process them. Most is pressure canned . Lots of our methods would be frown on by Canning books tho. I'm old enough to remember glass lid easy seal jars with wire bails.
The instructions say to tighten after coming out of the canner. I often would miss this step and have several failures. Some jars do not need it and I can tell when I go to tighten down after taking out of the canner, these would be the ones that would have sealed fine without taking that step
Rain Country
Guess I've forgotten that step over the years. Thank You
Hello Heidi, how are you? Thank you! I'm glad you did this video. I had stocked up on the Tattler lids over a year ago when lids were hard to come by. I have yet to use them. I had also bought Golden Harvest jars and lids.
I haven't used the lids because I hear "Go Ball for lids only.
Have you used either jars or lids at anytime?
Another question I have is why I pressure can anything and what I have in the jars spews out some are these no good? I had bands that were really loose when I took them out. Is that the cause not tight enough bands?
AND OR--- WHEN I'M WAITING FOR MY STEADY STREAM OF STEAM, (TONGUE TWISTER lol) I find a good hard continuous steady steam is when my nipple pops up.(the round silver button on top of pot.)
That's when I start my 10 mins.
I don't know if that is too long to wait or not.
I had pressured canned baked beans and a lot of them spewed over. So I put them in all new jars because I heard the contents are most likely not any good, and then canned them over again.
I made sure the bands were tighter and waited for the nipple to come up.
The end product was great! Looked beautiful! NO SPEWING AT ALL!
So now I'm thinking are the jars that spewed in the last 2 yrs. No good or what? That's all of my canned food! I don't remember what jars I had to clean because of spewing! Would you please help me with this?
I always respect you and your husband's advice on anything.
I looked through both of my Balls books and I can't remember the other place that has answers to questions. And
If they are NOT safe to consume after spewing out of the jars. With the contents all over in the pot. All of the jars sealed. Again I want to thank you for all of your knowledge and sharing it with us!
God bless you and your family!
Golden Harvest is also made by the same company that makes Ball. Only difference is since they may have slight imperfections that do not effect the integrity of the jar. So they can sell those under the Golden Harvest name for a lower price but the reality is that they are the same jars with a different name.
It is normal for jars to lose a little of their contents during the canning process due to the pressure from the inside of the jar pushing up against the lid. Once removed from the heat and the jars begin to cool, that pressure is reversed and this is when the sealing of the lids happens
@@RainCountryHomestead thank you so much for answering me back so quickly!
Had 8 jars and every single one of them spewed! So I just did it over again. I did keep one out I to try it tasted great! I put a vanilla creamer and it was over the top!
What do you use to label the lids? Also, how do you remove writing? I have been using blue masking tape and place on front of jar. Thank you for the video.
I use regular masking tape or even scotch tape. Some use a wax pencil to write on the lid with
I use a generic dissolvable label I found on Amazon. 500 for $12 with free prime shipping.
Try isopropyl alcohol, or other alcohols to remove the marker from the lid. But, plastic can stain - so that may not work.
Painter's masking tape, peels off easier after months. Tape on the glass, sounds like a great idea.
@@nanomaine I always use isopropyl alcohol but it does not work on the Tattler lids. Masking tape is my favorite choice and I put it on the lid. Comes off very easily
There was a video here on reusable lids. The comment with the most responses said that to get ink or stains (like from tomato sauce) off the lids, to soak in denture tablets. I haven't tried it yet. Have you?
I have on the tattlers some on vegetable soup it turn my lids reddish so I use dental tabs and it got part of the color but no way all of it
Have not tried it myself, I have tried rubbing alcohol as that works well on permanent ink on metal but it does not work well on the plastic because of the lettering and the texture. Now I just put a piece of tape on the lid but others recommend wax pencils
Try dry erase marker. That is what I use on the metal lids. I have tried rubbing alcohol but it didn't work for me. I haven't used tattler lids yet.
@@juliestewart3138 Dry erase marker still leaves behind ink on the Tattlers. Rubbing alcohol works best on metal lids as long as the lids are not full of micro scratches from scrubbing.
I’m just received my tattler lids and am going to can potatoes.
Hi Debbles...did you order your Tattler lids from the reusablecanninglids.com site or from Amazon? Just curious and a little hesitant on ordering from websites(other than Amazon) right now with all the scams out there.
79 cents for a wide mouth lid and ring in the u.s. $1.41 in kanada, sure am tired of getting ripped off on everything here...bless Yah...doug
Can you use the Tattler Lids to seal dry goods with the hand pump? Thanks Heidi.
They do not hold their seal the way the metal lids do, especially the E-Z seal design
Ty
I have ordered and received the Harvest Guard lids but haven't tried them yet. They are put aside for emergency use in case I cant get the metal ones
Another said the Harvest Guard are used exactly as I had shown here with the Tattlers
Thank you for your info. Why do you NOT use tattler lids on meat? Thank you. Curtis C. Hahn
I actually have and have done good with them, I just still get nervous about it since meat is more expensive. I did have a couple of jars of meat not seal but that could also have simply been user error.
@@RainCountryHomestead I did can 12 Quarts with Tattler lids. 7 Pot Roast and 5 Shoulder Roast. 11 did great, the last one I didn't clean the month right.
Question: If you can meat in a jar and you wait 24 hr. and find a lid didn't seal, is the meat good?
@@CurtisCHahn Yes, it should still be good but it will depend on how cold it is where it was sitting too. I usually take jars like that and eat them right away or freeze them
Confused! So I use a metal band during the cooking process, tighten it then take the metal band off and make sure the tattler lid is sealed properly? What kind of metal bins do you use because I’ve had problems w/ rust. Thanks
You do not ever take the bands off while it is still in the process of cooling. I suggest watching the video again to properly understand the order. The bands should only come off after the items are fully cooled just like with any other lid. The bands used are the same ones that come with the jars
