I learned to can from my late mother. These jars were on marketplace for $7 so I picked them up. Are they safe to use for canning? I can easily find another use for them if they’re not, but I couldn’t pass up the deal.

The jar is safe *if* they take a two piece lid. One piece lids are not recommended for home use.

Thank you for all the input! My mom was my canning expert and I no longer have her to ask questions to, I appreciate you all taking the time! I’ll see if my 2 piece lids fit, I’m going to err on the side of caution as I’ll be canning spaghetti sauce that will be fed to my toddler

If I were canning for my toddler I would want to take every precaution possible including using proper canning jars and lids. Just sayin

Hope you get to read this. I have 17yrs in the food manufacturing field. With a dozen of them making shelf stable and preserved foods. Pretty sure I know what I’m talking about.
Mods, if you don’t like this just remove me from this board altogether. Nothing I’ve said is unsafe, nor has it been for other posts you’ve banned.
I definitely don’t need you.

One-piece, reusable, and previous used lids are not approved for home canning by the USDA as they may allow air to be trapped within the sealed jar permitting bacteria to thrive and spoilage to occur which can lead to illness and even death.

Nah, it’s better to be safe and get a well known and reliable brand for canning.
I would use them for storing dehydrated foods, or pasta/dried beans after opening a bag. You could also store leftovers in the fridge in these (I do this with old pasta sauce jars)
