should you press the lids to try to make them seal

It's not necessarily required. You simply need to lay it on top of the bowl. The action of heating will create a vacuum that seals the bowl. But I have also just laid it over a plate to prevent splatters. In those cases, no seal develops, but it still helps to keep moisture in.

Just push lightly from the center. A suction will be created....better and more green than foil or Satan wrap.

I don't have to press them to make them seal. I really like my lids, however, you should be aware that when the sides are bumped in the refrigerator, the lid will not hold the seal. My solution is just to leave a little room around the container with the lid.

I press them, but I think they seal without pressing down. When I lift from the center they stick.

YES, I CALLED !!! Place 2 of the flat lids on till sealed then remove the top one and you will have a tight seal. I wanted it for that reason, and was down to the last ok to buy it She I saw your question and the answers you were getting. I STOPPED RIGHT THERE, AND CALLED. I have bought mine.

Yes they should since they seal when you close them, and the seal is pretty strong.

Sorry, not these, use the Tattler lids for canning. These have no seal on them.

Just make sure the lid is placed correctly. It gets in place with just a couple of twists.

Make sure that you have one of the spout covers open to release the pressure when you snap on the lid.

I think you have to use the waring bags. you can seal liquids , but you must seal vertically so the liquid is down

they are difficult to seal because they are tight. just make sure everything is lined up properly (and watch your fingers). they do get easier to seal with use. this is not a defect, however, they are made to seal tightly so that they protect your beer/kombucha etc and discourage leaks.

You're probably just not pushing the lid down all the way when you start the cooking cycle. If you're pressure cooking, you have to push down on the lid kind of hard to get the seal. I underestimated it myself the first time I tried and so it was also just sitting on warm till I checked it again. Now I know that when the lid is really locked, you hear the pressure build upon the cooker at the beginning.

The lid is not sealed but I can't remember if there was something to seal it on the inside. Sorry I'm not much help!

No. They are very small and the lids are not sealed . I bought some Avent's recipes for store milk.

Some of my lids fit so tightly that it is hard to get them off when filled with yogurt ---but considering what a mess it could make if one opened in a lunch bag, I would seal it in a ziptop sandwich bag just in case ;)

Take out the little black gasket in the lid, wash it and dry it and then coat it in vegetable oil. It will make it seal.

I called the company that makes these and I followed their recommendations, which was scarey since they said don't tighten the lids til they are done processing....but it worked great. The tattler ones won't seal if you screw them tight like the metal lids before processing. I used to use water bath method for everything, so I get it. These will seal if you just finger tighten to start with and tighten when you bring them out of the canner. I did some meat and ham balls in them plus other things and they stay sealed.....after 24 hours, remove metal rings

If this happens I unsnap the other three and make sure to use more pressure pushing down on the lid before snapping them close again. That always does the trick and I hope it helps you.

I haven't tried to use them in this manner but, to be honest, I think that would be asking for trouble. These lids are tight, but not bulletproof. You should probably try to find something where the lid screws on tightly, rather than pushes down to form a seal. My opinion only.

I reuse the same lids all the time with out any problems, I buy brown sugar and other baking ingredients , rice , flour etc on sale with coupons and seal it in jars all the time. I've never had an issue and have done this a few years now.
