53mm Twist Top Lids – Single Lid
Reuse & Preserve with Confidence – Available at OzFarmer!
Give your supermarket-bought jars a second life with these 53mm Twist Top Lids, perfect for home preserving. Whether you’re making jams, sauces, pickles, or chutneys, these lids help create a reliable seal for safe storage.
How to Measure for the Right Fit
To ensure compatibility, measure your existing lids by turning one over and measuring from the inside edge across the widest point. This will help confirm the correct lid size for your jars.
Why Use New Lids?
For successful preserving, fresh lids are essential. Over time, the sealing compound in old lids deteriorates due to food acids and storage conditions. Using new twist top lids ensures better vacuum sealing, reducing the risk of spoilage.
Vacuum Seal Indication:
Unlike “Pop Top” lids, these 53mm lids do not feature a button indicator. However, a successful seal creates a slightly concave appearance. If the seal fails, the lid will remain flat. To test, place a ruler over the top—if the seal is good, the ruler won’t sit flush.
Important Usage Notes:
• Hand wash only – avoid dishwashers to prevent corrosion.
• Dry immediately after washing to maintain quality.
• Best for short processing times (10–15 minutes) – ideal for jams, sauces, and pickles. (Longer exposure to heat may increase the risk of jar breakage, as supermarket jars are not made from tempered glass.)
• Lid design may vary slightly from the image shown.
