Jar lids peeling after sterilizing?
    #19535542 - 02/07/14 02:32 PM (10 years, 11 months ago)

So I notice the lids in my pot, on the jars and the ones on the bottom of the pot seem to be peeling after I steam them? The ones on the bottom are peeling and changing colors kinda. I assume its from the heat. Should I replace them?

I am steaming the jars, they are 1/2 pint widemouth kerr jars. I speak of the actual metal jar lid. They are changing colors and a clear coat is peeling off of them. They are the silver wide mouth kerr lids

Just dedicate your old lids to use as spacers and use the same ones over and over again.

Keep fresh ones to use on your jars so they're easy to get on and off.  When the lids start to rust, you can clean them with a green scouring pad.  Replace with new lids every 20 uses or so.  Metal lids are better than plastic, just replace as needed.

I know this is old so I apologize in advance. But im currently having the same issue. New lids are peeling some ki.d of clear coat after their first pc run.

Never had this happen before. Any advice?
