I researched them and they appear save to use for pc canning I never use
my expensive mason jars for bwc when otc jars work fine little hint otc
jars with nub lids and button tops are reuseable they are easier to use
and fail alot less often the other day I made kiwi strawberry jam all my
reused 2 piece
lids failed luckily I had enough of the ten oz jars and nub lids on hand
to correct this
