Questions and answers

Is this 12 jars or 24?: It is 12 jars sold as a 24-piece set, which counts each jar plus its lid and band. You get a dozen jars, a dozen lids and a dozen bands.
Are the lids reusable?: The flat lids are meant for one sealed canning run each; the bands can be reused until they rust. For dry storage, lids can be reused freely.
Will these work in a water bath canner?: Yes, standard glass Mason jars are made for water bath canning of high-acid foods like jams, tomatoes and pickles. Check the jar mouth size against your rack and funnel first.
Can I freeze food in them?: Only with headspace of about an inch, and straight-sided jars are safer than shouldered ones. Freezing to the brim can crack the glass.
When is the best time to buy?: Canning sets usually drop in late summer and around harvest sales, and again after the holidays. Compare the per-jar price against single-jar store prices.
