  • About

Sterilizing lids is necessary only when they are to be used to cover sterile canning jars that will be sealed without processing. Rinse the lids and bands (first wash the bands, if they have been used previously), then pour boiling water over them. Lids for foods to be processed need only be rinsed and kept covered with piping-hot water until they’re needed; they will be sterilized during processing.

When applying lids, be sure the jar rim is spotless; wipe it with a paper towel dipped into hot water, if necessary. Lay the flat lid in place, then put on the screw band; don’t combine the pieces before applying them.
