There are a wide variety of canning lids on the market today. And every housewife with the onset of the summer season is in a hurry to buy everything you need.

Lids for jars: features of choice and varieties

• Of course, in the first place is the usual metal cover. When buying, give preference to products whose back side is varnished. The service life of these items is much longer. And the risk of formation of corrosion deposits is practically excluded. For each type of packaging lids for conservation, there is a state standard, according to which the service life of such items is no more than three years.
• The screw cap is also made of metal. The peculiarity of the products is that they do not need a seaming machine. You just need to put it on the jar and scroll it all the way. The only caveat is that only threaded cans are suitable for these lids.
• Plastic lids are an equally popular and sought-after product. With their help, it is recommended to preserve sweet products: jams and preserves. The catalog contains several varieties of such covers: plastic double and single.
• The drain cover is equipped with special holes through which syrup or brine can be drained.
