A little tip for people who have never used glass jars. NEVER take a jar that is boiling hot and plunge it into very cold water to cool it down. It will shatter the glass. Instead use warm water to cool it down so the glass doesn't expand/shrink too fast and shatter.

I actually have both and prefer the small mouth for some things. Like canning peaches, or other fruit/veggies that float. The smaller mouth design helps them stay below the liquid. But I also use them for things that are pourable like salsa and sauces.
Anyone that cans/preserves and wants to know what they are feeding their children have always 'hoarded' jars of all types and sizes. Beginning with a garden, those 'housewives' are anything but bored.
The shortage was the lids/seals.
Exactly. I wish I was bored.
I have so many jars now, just due to needing seals last year.

Sounds like you need a bigger garden.
Someplace I saw a different supplier for a new type of lid and then there are 'reusable' that I/we have never tried. When on sale, I do stock up for a 3 year supply, whereas some Mormon and Amish friends have a lot more than that.
Yea, one thing about country folk and especially kids, nobody complains they are bored. The parent(s) will find something for them to do.

Yeah I don't trust myself with the reusable ones yet. I have actually used the walmart brand lids and they held up pretty well, 0 failures.
Funny thing is I don't have kids and I live in a Suburb north of Boston with a medium sized yard. So I don't even have the kids to help, and hubby wants no part of the garden. But theres nothing like eating your own homemade salsa or jarred peaches in the middle of the winter. So I keep at it. Plan on expanding the garden this year and maybe someday a greenhouse to extend the growing season.
if someone understands the reasoning for this design, let us know. I cant think of the benefits with this weird design

A greenhouse is awesome! Even the specific to greenhouse UV protected plastics last 6 or 7 years. A Four Seasons type addition is nice, but expensive.
Having grown up butchering, smoking, canning, etc., I was later too busy making a living and growing a business to be bothered with doing same when it was cheaper at the store. Today, growing is kind of therapeutic, but also eating better. We also used and still use freezers, but need a generator handy when the power is out.
Buying canned goods (or frozen) when on sale and re-canning into glass jars will have a lot longer shelf life. Not sure what they line the metal cans with, but they don't last long before affecting the taste of the contents ---which means we are eating it. Of course, getting away from GMO's, pesticides and such is the problem.

We're a family of 2, so we don't eat a ton at a time. So nah I don't care, it works for our needs.
But I am super amateur and don't even pressurize it other than putting warm/hot liquid in the jar and letting them cool and vacuum seal themselves.
