In OG magazine the classified section has an ad for canning lids in bulk. Gardener's Kitchen www.canninglidsusa.com I just went there and the links to their order page don't work so you'd have to call them or write. (I was just curious about how much a bulk buy would save over grocery store prices.) Gardener's Kitchen Box 322-OG07 Monument Beach, MA 02553 Interesting to note that I've had other folk mention that their canning jars have blown out too. one lady wasn't canning but freezing goat milk in them. Temp changes when thawing in a cool water bath are enough to wreck these newer jars. They're Kerr and Ball standards too. When I did big (pressure) canning jobs, I would never rely on Golden Harvest jars but knew the heavier Kerrs would handle the job ok. Guess they're all lowering their standards these days.
