Ball canning lids VS canning lids on Amazon

Are you having a hard time finding canning lids in your area? Are you afraid to buy canning lids off of Amazon for fear that they won't seal?
I bought a set of 64 lids off of Amazon. I physically compared the Amazon canning lids to the Ball canning lids. Then I tested the Amazon canning lids twice with pressure canning. (Pressure canning is the ultimate canning lid test in my opinion). Watch this video to find out the pros vs cons AND watch to the end to find our more places to find lids.

UPDATE: These lids did not perform well when I kept testing them. They had the most lid failures I've ever had (both water bath and pressure canning) in over a decade of canning. For this reason I no longer recommend these lids.

Did you want me to test other canning lids for you? Let me know which ones you'd like me to test!

with the chinese lids you have to back off tightening or they will get quite a few buckling. If you back off a little they will seal. Learned the hard way last year during shortage

Great info! I never thought about buying lids in bulk like that...makes more sense when you can reuse everything but the lids. One question I have is: do you still recommend boiling the lids before you use them, or is that no longer necessary? I have heard both and just this week decided not to (washed them first but didn't boil them.) Thanks, love this, have subscribed!

How did these last? Have you used your canned item and how was the results? There are a lot of review that said they were rusting…. Could you do an up date and share how they are doing now?

I had a Golden Harvest lid buckle once, but it still sealed good.
