Usage of weck canning jars
The process of canning is simple, but it does require a good base of knowledge before you can do it confidently. Generally, canning involves putting a prepared food into a sterilized jar. The filled jars are then vacuum sealed and can be stored in a dim cupboard for a period of several months to a year, depending on the process. Before using each jar makes sure the rim and the sealing lid do not have chips and cracks. A new rubber ring is required each time. Just before putting the jars in the water-canner to process, the lids need to be held in place by a pair of spring-loaded stainless steel clamps. After the vacuum seal has formed once the weck canning jars are fully cooled, the clamps can be removed and stored for next time
