Canning jar lids
Anybody used the new lids from Kerr? Instead of the bronze/gold finish they are now "brushed silver." This is part of their 125th Anniversary:
"This spring, Ball will also release a series of anniversary products for fresh preserving and storage:
In addition to the anniversary products, Ball will also update their lids on all fresh preserving jars which will feature a brushed silver finish for a sleek, new design."
I am wondering if the quality these new ones is the same, since I think these new ones cost less than the old ones. Or is the change purely cosmetic?
I might try to find some of the old style even though they cost a bit more. I think our local Ace Hardware still has some of the old style lids.
