Storing Lids?

[radman32]

When you store pot in glass jars with rubber sealed lids, do u need to replace the lids? I'm just storing it in there, but does the seal wear or become useless after a while of storage?

With the mason jars they don't wear out as fast since the lids are 2 peice and the rubber part doesn't "rub" against the rim of the jar wearing it out like a normal store bought sauce jar would. So the seal last a lot longer of not forever with a mason jar.

every so often a little bit of pj (petroleum jelly) goes a long way...

if you notice one of your seals starting to dry up

i don't want to be using any petroleum, fuck that, any alternatives? I know that mason jars are better, and they have bigger seals, thanks for confirming that =D

Seal the empty jar up and dunk it under water. If water leaks in the seal is bad.

If needed, I would use vegetable oil over petroleum jelly on the jar seals as it has less of a chance of hurting you if it contacts your buds.

goody, thx man. the seals on my mason jars are small like sauce jars, but they're canning jars, so are they different??? i know which mason jars ur talking about, the ones were the lids latch on the outside and they have a nice bigger plastic seal(inch wide), i'd guess those are the ABSOLUTE best
