Not long ago we asked the canning community if there were any bloggers/vloggers interested in conducting reviews of Harvest Guard Reusable Canning Lids. We had quite a bit of interest, a few of which are already completed and compiled here for your enjoyment.
As we receive more, we will include them in future blogs and quite possibly a separate page on our site.
Enjoy the reviews, and a big shout out to Shannon with Nourishing Days, Krystal at Krystal’s Texas Garden, and the SchneiderPeeps!

I’m assuming that the lids are plastic How many uses till they crack? On average.
Thanks!
Yes they are plastic know as acetal copolymer, and they will not crack.
Are the gaskets more than one time use?
Yes, the gaskets can be used at least 6-8 times before they stretch to the point they need to be replaced.
Yes, the gaskets can be used at least 6-8 times before they stretch to the point they will no longer seat on the underside of the lid and must be replaced.
So they seal like the metal lids? I guess I want to know how to tell if they seal or not
Harvest Guard lids don’t pop like metal lids, but it is easy to tell if when they are sealed. Simply lifting the jar, by holding the lid with your fingertips will identify if there has been a failure. A sealed jar will lift off the countertop. If a lid fails to seal, it will lift away from the jar without resistance.
Yes. After jars have cooled from processing, remove the metal screw band and gently lift the jar off the counter by holding the lid with your fingertips. A solid seal will enable you to lift the jar, while a failed seal will cause the lid to lift away from the jar without resistance.
