Yes I Can, by Two Lumps of Sugar

Hi, I bought these lids a couple months ago from the local farm store called yes I can. I just now use them this weekend to can some applesauce and apple butter, so I thought I would leave a review and see if anyone had experience with them.

The lids came in box of 24, and I got them for only $4 or $5, it was a good deal as I remember. The lids are a thicker metal, not flimsy at all. They are sharp on the edges, and I actually cut myself while washing them. It was small like a paper cut. I usually use a jar opener to open my jars, so I'll make sure that I definitely use the opener and not my fingers on these jars.

They fit well on all my jars. I have an assortment of ball and off brand jars. No problems with any of them.

Of the 24 lids, 23 sealed well. I didn't think that was a bad ratio.

The ping sounded slightly different, but they all made a satisfying pop after I took them out of the canner.

I only use these for water bath canning, not pressure canning, though the box indicates that they may be used for pressure canning.

The applesauce jar that didn't seal, I put in the fridge and took with me today for lunch. When I took off the lid, I noticed a defect in the sealing compound (picture two). I've seen defects before like this in other brands, though rarely, so I don't know how common this is, but this was my first box of this brand.

Honestly I don't know if I will purchase these again. I liked that they were thicker and seemed more substantial, and they were a great price, but I've never had sharp edges like that before. If I were to give these away, I might be concerned about someone cutting themselves trying to open a jar.

Does anyone else have any experience with these lids? I understand this company makes jars as well. Has anybody used those?
