Will this work to strain broth over a ball jar wide or narrow mouth?

Yes, as long as there aren't a lot of large chunks and you can control the flow of the broth. I wouldn't pour from a stockpot through this because I would spill but I might use a ladle to do it. I'm not sure, since I haven't used it for broth, but it might let some of the smaller particles through the mesh.

I've used mine with all sizes of pots. I love it! I've just about given up using my other strainers. I wouldn't say there is really a minimum. I think it would work just fine with an 8 or 9 inch pot. It is definitely designed for two handled pots but can be used with standard saucepans as well as long as you pour slowly (since in that case you can only hold it down with one hand). It measures about 10 inches between handle grips so I would assume the picture is using a 10 inch pot.

The wide mouth size fits the wide mouth mason and ball jars, however, they are not totally air tight like the original metal band and ring lids. They are really nice and I use them all the time!

I think it would work to strain lumps unless they are really small lumps.i hope that helps.

Yes, this is the right size. It will stretch to make a tight seal on your jars.

I think it would work. I use it to strain curds and whey that I make. I prefer to double it over so it's 2 layers and then I put it in my mesh strainer and it works great. It's very durable. I hand wash and air dry it and then fold it up and store in a plastic bag in between uses. It's very large so you will cut a piece to fit your strainer.

No. I put a canning funnel on my jar, and set the strainer in that. It works fine, but you would need to buy the canning funnel, if you don't already have one. Overall, I've been very happy with this product.

Yes fits very nicely. But if you are doing jars larger than pint jars, I would go to a larger stockpot for the extra depth.

No. It seems a widemouth lid should fit but the jar top seems to be slightly smaller.

I use jar that has rim with the diameter of 4.2 inches and it folds over the rim loosely. Hope this helps.

It might work.... if you can keep the strainer warm. Grease seems to harden while draining. Pressing the meat with a spoon, I'm going to try that.....

I just tried this model on a Ball 1Qt Mason jar and it is too big. I assume that it depends on the jar. Also - see above that there is another model and that the 1st question talks about the fact that they are different sizes.

Jars all have different sizes openings so you would have to know the size of your jar opening. Also take into consideration how much you are straining out of the jar. For example I used the 4 inch strainer on my 2 quart jar, but when what I was straining increased I started using the 5'1/2.

Not that I'm aware of. You might try a fine mesh strainer that would sit on the rim and extend down into this. That would give you the straining capability as well as make sure everything went into the canning jar or whatever you want filled with liquid. It would also allow you to dump the particulate matter as it builds up in the strainer.

Tumeric powder seems like it would be a bit too fine to use with this strainer. Maybe try a Superbag?

I use this on wide mouth quart jars. It works very well. If the 1/2 gallon wide mouth jars use the lids and bans then you shouldn't have a problem

Yes, Sorry I hit the wrong button. The rubber ring I have is 2.25, OD is 2-13/16 and the distance between IO and OD is .25'. The rubber ring does stretch around the circumference of the jar (OD of 2-13/16. So it should fit on the lid lip that fits inside the jar. Send me your address and I will send you one.
