Can these lids be used to pressure can ?

Only if you were making jam or jellies and seal the jar with wax like they did in the old days. Then you can place the lid on. There is no seal for long term storage. If I were making something short term to store in regregiator, I would place wax paper or plastic wrap over jar and place lid on. The lid will rust.

As long as they aren't huge you should be fine. If they are too big you won't be able to get the lid on all the way.

I would ythink that they would perfectly for that purpose. They are similar size with plastic lids instead of metal ones.

I don't think they would - the Tattler lids are much thicker than the metal canning lids, and the Weck lids are thicker yet. The sealer is designed for standard metal (disposable) wide-mouth canning lids - like Ball or Kerr. The lids can be re-used, however - I've been re-using the same lids weekly for a couple of years now.update 11/18/13 - I just received a set of wide-mouth Tattler lids, and I tried one with the sealer, and to my surprise, it DID work. The lid stayed in place, just like the metal ones.

yes if there is any liquid in the straw at the time of tipping.....and you are using the gasket propperly. Otherwise, these are outstanding lids and straws!

Yes, and you can even reuse them for resealing with the vacuum sealer. To clarify you cannot reuse lids for water bath or pressure canning.

I measured mine today. It is true, you cannot use the rack that comes with it, but I have a ~5-inch little trivet that works really well. I checked--you can put 3 pint jars in it while sitting on my little trivet. (NEVER put the jars directly on the bottom.) I read the instruction book, and there is a reference to a Ball canning lid being ok to use in it. They do not say you can use it to pressure can, but I am taking that reference as being that it is ok to use it to can (ALWAYS WITH CARE!) You must not overfill the unit. My unit only takes 3 pint jars--no quarts. Another consideration is that a proper "canner" came with a rack to hold each jar in place so they do not bang each other. I am going to take chunks of aluminum foil and wad it loosely up and stuff it in a loop between the pint jars to hold them apart. For my first attempt I may sit it out on the deck, just in case :-), but I really do not think there should be a problem.

I guess you could-the underside of the lids are hard, but it's definitely not designed for that.

The regular lids and rings do fit but I haven't tried to actual use them for sealing in canning.

You can reuse all lids over and over until the rubber wears out or they won't seal anymore with 1 exception, the lids that you used to pressure can with cannot be used to pressure can again.But you can use them for vacuum sealing.Once I've opened a jar that has been pressure canned I immediately take a knife and put a X or check mark on it, that away I know I can't use it again to pressure can but it's okay to use for vacuum sealing over and over.Hope this helps, good luck and GOD BLESS.rachelkeys

yes there is a gasket in the lid and they seem to hold pressure from the small reactions that I use them for.

I would be led to believe these should work, I would be sure to frame accordingly so you have no twisting when closing the lid as they do have some resistance upon lowering. Good Luck sounds like my type of project.....Bob .

They are designed with a ridge to fit the two sizes of dog food cans. However, we felt these lids did not fit either can size well. We replaced them with another brand that fit the cans more tightly.

probably not, I had to actually cut to get lids to fit. I know whats the point of a lid. If you really need a tight fit then buy complete package

These lids fit 3 different size cans. They will fit a 13 oz. Can. I love them and wouldn't be without them. I bought 2 sets. Hope this helps.

Yes. You can use them this way. Standard-size lids are usable on any kind of standard-sized jar.

You should not use this pressure cooker to can in. Please see: http://nchfp.uga.edu/publications/uga/using_press_canners.html the recommendation is to only use a canner that you can fit 4 QUART jars in.
