Rusty lids
« on: October 30, 2011, 04:10:25 am »
I bought glass jars from Kmart with gold coloured lids.  I washed the jars and lids in soapy water.  I used sterilising tablets for the glass jar but just put the lids in boiling water for about 20 minutes.   The insides of the lids have gone rusty therefore I had to throw the mayo out.    Are there different types of jars/lids I can purchase or do I need to sterilise the lid first.   They were only about $2 each so maybe there are different quality lids around.

Can anyone help?

i just put boiling water in the jars and pt in the sink and sit hte lid on top until im ready to use them and have never had a problem..

sounds like its the quality of hte lids..maybe ask around usually people have unwanted jars lying around rather than having to buy them..just another option
