[QUOTE="alfredo_buscatti, post: 177601, member: 36"] Vito-ism: when washing jars, rinse with a hot, then cold, then hot rinses. Cold actually gets the soap off best, but hot ensures sterility. Someone said that lids can only be used once; I disagree. If lids have been used to age tobacco for years, then yes, they can't be reused; the rubber is scored too deeply. But the trick is to soak the lids in hot water for 15 minutes X 2 or 3, and inspect them. If the rubber rebounds most of the way, it is sufficient to take another seal. If it's only a light or moderate score, when you first put them in the water, then many times the rubber will rebound and can be reused. But even so if I'm using the jar for storage only, I'd use a recycled lid; if long-term aging, I'd use a new lid. [/QUOTE]
