How to Buy Discounted Mason Jar Rings for Canning
Embracing the end of summer and welcoming the fall harvest means preparing for canning and preserving for a lot of farmers, gardeners and hobbyists. Canning takes place throughout the year depending on what you are canning, but mid-September through October is considered peak Canning Season.
A Brief History of Canning
Nicolas Appert, a French chef and confectioner, is credited with inventing canning. He developed the canning process in the late 18th century by using glass jars and airtight seals to preserve food.
Ball® Corporation, founded by the Ball brothers (Edmund, Frank, George, Lucius, and William) in the late 19th century initially started as a manufacturer of wooden-jacketed tin cans for the food industry. In 1883, the Ball brothers invented a metal canning lid with a sealing gasket, which made the canning process more reliable and efficient. This innovation greatly improved the preservation of food in cans.
Ball® Corporation's largest contribution to home canning was the development of the Ball® Mason Jar, which became widely popular for home canning and food preservation. These glass jars, introduced in 1884, featured a screw-on metal lid with a rubber seal, allowing people to preserve fruits, vegetables, and other foods at home safely and effectively. The Ball® Mason Jar revolutionized home canning and contributed to the widespread adoption of canning as a method for food preservation.
In 2017, Ball® further enhanced the canning experience with the revolutionary SureTight™ Seal Guarantee. This USA made; BPA-free solution represented the most significant improvement in home canning lids in over 30 years. With the introduction of the SureTight™ Seal, the ability for everyday households to preserve food and elixirs saw a significant increase in shelf life, extending freshness from 12 months to 18 months. The Ball® Mason Jar storage solution is a three-piece culinary enhancement, starting with a USA made premium glass jar, coupled with a tin-plated steel band, and secured with an airtight, non-toxic, plastisol disc gasket that creates a vacuum seal.
Our Contribution to Home Canning
Canning patrons may see rust or denting occur from season-to-season, so having replacement mason jar bands on hand is a must. These bands can be hard to find separately and expensive at stores. The good news is that you have options!
The Oregon based sustainability company Mason-re, created and patented the world's first Child Resistant Mason Jar seal, the Re:stash lid. Exclusively made to enhance your mason jar lifestyle, the sustainably sourced Re:stash lid is paired with the Ball® SureTight™ disk to offer superior preservation and life proof longevity. The innovative entrepreneurs at Mason-re also introduced the world's first drop proof silicone mason jar koozies tailor fit to protect and promote the longevity of your canning jars.
The team at Mason-re believes that consumers should have the option to reduce waste by reusing everyday items such as drinking cups and food storage solutions, before choosing to recycle damaged goods. The Ball® Mason Jar regular and wide mouth rings become a bi product of our Re:stash jar. Mason-re believes in reusing before recycling, so instead of disposing of the excess rings they sell them back to the public at a discounted price.
