My wife just came across an add for them. After reading a load of reviews, I’m going to pass. There are loads of reports of issues sealing, and buckling when used for pressure canning. Made in China knock offs.

I just picked up a 12 count box of “Pur” wide mouth lids at Menards for $4.99 (plus a rebate)… I’ve seen similar reports on these. For the price I’ll give them a try.

From my experience when pressure canning only the real deal (ball/Kerr) will suffice. The generics (including the ones anchor hocking uses) are only to be used for water bath canning.
