Do not watch this video for DIY reusable silicon canning gaskets for pressure canning to reuse metal lids if you are all by the book! This video is about how I made my own reusable silicone gaskets for pressure canning to reuse metal lids. It's a silicone canning gasket replacement. These are much like the rubber for tattler lids or harvest guard. Please don't judge. I am very frugal and on a budget but I also use common sense to work out my own solutions without having to fork over a ridiculous amount of money for something that I can make myself. This DIY reusable silicone canning gaskets for lids video has lost me a few subscribers. I am just sharing what works for me. I hope you find it useful so you will never run out of lids again. Lids were around 32 cents each and I don't even know what they are now. & why throw them out? Unless they are really bent or rusty, use discernment.
Have you been affected by the canning lid shortage? I wasn't too much bc I reuse my lids, with no problem. Yes, the rubber attached to the metal lid is what gives out and gets indented to the point it cannot create a good seal. I tried an experiment making my own silicone gaskets, similar to the rubber ones you can buy with the expensive tattler lids or harvest guard. I used a food-grade silicone cutting mat. I also used a different type of silicone canning gasket that I just cut to the size I needed. I am so happy that this ended up working after a bit of trial and error. I hope that this gives you some ideas and resourceful tips for when you need to pressure can but maybe can't find the supplies you need with the canning lid shortage. Now you know how you can make your own reusable silicone gaskets to reuse your own metal lids. Thank you so much for watching!
