jars: Do the jar lids screw off or pull off or what?
2020071
I also have had problems with the lids leaking. Also, the plastic of the lids is very soft. It warps easily. One week after buying my yogurt maker, one lid would no longer seat correctly on the jar. Last week I left 4 jars on the top of my stove while I had the oven on (not the burners). Just the heat from the oven warped the jar lids so much they would not come off. I had to turn the oven on again and soften up the plastic just to unscrew the lids. Luckily the lids are a standard size that many glass jars use. Watch your food purchases, save the lids from the jars some foods come in, and swap them out one-by-one. Throw away these plastic ones and replace them with metal ones that won't leak or warp. Just save them from jelly jars, olive jars, etc.

They have adhesive backs, but the weight of spice jars makes it necessary to use screws, as they pull away after a few days. A few weeks later, jars started dropping as the plastic bracts stretch w/weight of glass...plastic jars mt work

The lids are not completely removable. They are attached with a wire "hinge" that, when closed, seals the canister. When open, the lids are attached at the hinge side. The lids seal well and I have found these canisters easy to use but slightly more difficult to wash because the lids tend to flop around during washing.

The lid is attached, it does not come off as part of the design. However if you want to cut the plastic to remove the lids, that is certainly something you could do. The Organizing Place

You twist them (to the left I think). I had trouble with one of mine and had to twist and pull quite a bit before it popped open. Tricky little suckers.

Yes, the lids do come off. They just sort off pop on and off. There is a rubber ring on each jar to help keep the lids on. If you just open them that way you will probably be better off. Once you open the pop up and pour part of the lid they become a huge hassle. Best advice is to just take the entire lid off each time.

Well,,, yes they can be removed by pulling straight up on both lids at the same time. They are attached to the divider bar by means of plastic pins. I don't think it was designed for regular removal of the lids, but I just tried it and it worked. It was a bit of effort to pull it out. Then just re-insert the pin to put the lids back on. It may however, after continuous removals and replacing wear out the pens. But on the other hand the lids don't open as fully as i would like them and makes it a little hard to fill the cups up. So even though I hadn't thought of it, I may just start taking the lids off too! :) Well,,, yes they can be removed by pulling straight up on both lids at the same time.

There is a sliding latch. Push it towards the center. Then twist the lid and lift off.

I'm not sure what you mean but to get the lid off you lift the handle on the lid and pull as you hold the blender down.

Very simple...open the gripper teeth larger than your lid (turn counter-clockwise). Place opener flat on jar lid & turn handle clockwise until tight. If you're holding the handle in your left hand, push the handle away from you. Note: The lid you're trying to remove must be larger than 3/4" in diameter.

Always with the screw bands off. As a precaution, I don't place in storage for at least a week. If the are going to come unsealed, they normally do by then. I've had some still do this afterwards but, without the band, it's easy to spot. I hate to lose jars of food but.......it sure beats making my family sick. Tattlers are good but.it does take some time. It is a good idea to take bands off all jars.

No, mine did not come with any lids. They have ridges, but it could be purely cosmetic. I couldn't find one lid that worked in my oddball jar collection.

You just place the jar opener on top of a jar with a lid. It works best with glass jars as plastic ones compress. Then you just pushing the black button on the top, and soon you will hear air escape from the jar as the lid begins to turn. Then you can release the black button and the arms of the opener will begin to release the jar and you will be able to remove the jar opener and take the jar lid off the jar.

Yes . Unscrew the screw on lid and then use your jar pop to lift off the sealing lid. Works great!

Yes they do? I really like replacing the metal ring to the plastic after opening the jar. For example pickles, when not consuming the entire jar. I will replace with the plastic. Just keep in mind these plastic covers are for storage only and will not seal like the metal in the canning process. The Plastic is great for dry storage spices, pasta, rice in the quart or pint jars when you plan opening the jar often

Well, the lids are secure, but at the same time, they lift off easily. I suppose that a screw-on lid would be MORE airtight, but I have not had a problem maintaining freshness in these jars.

The lid screws off then there is a sifter with a piece of plastic/tape over it - Peel back that tape/plastic & it comes right out of the sifters(&sometimes; maybe a little too much comes out so be careful!!) :)
