In late 2006 I used a couple of 12-packs of Kerr lids when I was
pressure canning green beans. Opened the last jar yesterday and noticed that the lid was hard to get off with the church key and, when removed, had left a lot of sealant on the jar. Remembered that happening with most of the Kerr lids used on the green beans. From this I am going to postulate that the sealant was not the usual sealant on jar lids as I have never had that happen before. The jars were all sealed but just had the problem of the sealant sticking to the jar when opened. Any opinions or ideas? |

Gooey grey, I don't think I'll buy anymore. |

I never see those here except for an occasional case of pints at Walmart. I use Kerr exclusively because of price and the amount of available real estate for a label, though I think the GH is less expensive than Ball, too. -- -Barb, Mother Superior, HOSSSPoJ http://web.mac.com/barbschaller, blahblahblog is back and most recently updated last night, 8-17-2008.

P.S. I still have a box or two of the "gray goo" Kerr lids, and I hate them. Recently purchased Kerr lids have red sealant, just like Ball and GH. P.P.S. I know the joke is supposed to be "flew in", but the power steering went out on our LandYacht about 1000 miles ago. It's quite a workout steering without it. |

Dang Bob, you could have come by the house. I have horse liniment that would work on those arms. |

I've forgotten what that's like. -- -Barb, Mother Superior, HOSSSPoJ http://web.mac.com/barbschaller, blahblahblog is back and most recently updated last night, 8-17-2008. Fair entries are DONE! |
