[QUOTE="Buck, post: 41405, member: 512"] I need to make one point a little bit more clear about my method....heating the lids. Since I re-use food jars the rubbery seal inside the metal lid needs to be softened to seal well. So I give them a brief soak in boiling water to soften them up. That way when I place on a room temp jar the heat is sucked out by the glass causing the seal to 'suck' in to the jar's edge. It's all a matter of energy transfer and soft seals. Pretty simply really. My method isn't about vacuum sealing as much as it's about keeping the air out of the jar. YMMV :study: [/QUOTE]
