Our Regular Split-Type Lids not only keep fresh food, but also help you provide services, creative decorations and gifts. How to make sure the sealing Safety buckle on the lid, which you could judge if your canning sealing well. Press down on the center of the lid. Check does it move up and down or does it feel solid and concave Solid and concave means a good seal, movement means no seal. This way to test would help you sealing canning better. Why Lids Buckled During Canning? During canning, air trapped in the head space between the bottom of the lid and the top of the food is forced out of the jar. When lids are too tight, the air cannot easily escape so it forces its way out by deforming the lid. This leads to the buckling or crinkling effect. When you remove your jars from the canner and set them out to cool, steam vapor will continue to be released until the jar begins to cool and the wax ring on the sealing lid suctions into place and creates a permanent seal. General rule of thumb is to tighten your rings “Finger Tight” – meaning use your fingers, not your entire palm to tighten and there should be another ¼ inch of room to continue turning the sealing ring.

Not Stainless Steel, or at least what science defines as Stainless Steel
Take something you know is stainless steel (like a common teaspoon) and hold it against a magnet. If it's Stainless Steel (INOX) it won't stick to the magnet. If it's steel, or coated steel, or painted steel, it *will* stick to the magnet. In most cases it's not a problem, but I bought these lids and rings expressly because the seller claimed they were "STAINLESS STEEL" seventeen times in their description. When they arrived and I examined the package, I knew I was in trouble. NO WHERE on the package did it say "STAINLESS STEEL". I really wanted to return them unopened, because I need stainless steel and it appeared these aren't, but I wanted to make sure I hadn't ordered the wrong thing (rechecked, nope, the order says "STAINLESS STEEL"). So I broke the seal on the package and removed a lid and ring at random. Took my magnet and tested. Both stuck to the magnet. Tested on a teaspoon. Teaspoon didn't stick. Tested on stainless skillet. Skillet didn't stick. You can tell by looking the rings are painted grey, not stainless. the lids look like tinned steel, not stainless. I boxed it all back up and returned them. But why does it matter? I have cats, who star frequently in my reviews so y'all have met. My cats (two) like crunchy kibbles. I buy a five pound bag at a time. After a couple of bags, I noticed, despite my compressing all the air out of the bag and clipping it closed tight, that by the time we neared the bottom of the bag suddenly the cats went off their food. It was "stale." Through trial and error I found that when I first open a bag and divvy it out into pint sized canning jars (it takes 16 pint jars), fill the to the top and twist the lids on tight, the food stays fresh all the way to the end and none gets wasted. (Their preferred cat food ain't cheap so that's a win for all of us). As I finish each jar, I run it though the dishwasher like the rest of the dishes. Over time, the steel rings and lids have started to rust. I don't want all that rust flying around in my dishwasher while I'm washing dishes, so I need new lids. Stainless ones won't rust in the dishwasher (which is lined in stainless steel, that's how we know). So it's important that the lids and rings I'm purchasing to last for years of washing in the dishwasher are stainless steel. Otherwise I'll be buying new lids and rings twice a year and saving nothing. The search, therefore, continues. I hate leaving bad reviews, the rings and lids appear well made, but they aren't well-made of the material they claimed to be, and someone needs to let everyone else know.

Product not as shown, but tests support stainlessness
Inside of ring is painted, not uncoated as depicted in pictures. I'm aware that some types of stainless are magnetic. Scratched a lid and doing a rust test with unsalted water now. May try vinegar and saltwater. Will adjust stars according to results.-edit- I actually added a few grains of salt because I am a jerk like that. The water evaporated and left a little bit of crystalline salt stuff, so I added pictures of that and the lid after wiping it off. Appears to be stainless. My other lids totally would rust if I did this. Would be nice if the vendor said what grade of stainless.

rings will not rust!
I've only used the rings so far and they are not rusting. Perfect for what I need them for.
