4.
Screw on the ring using only the strength of your hands. Do not use any
tools to screw the ring closed. If the ring is screwed too tightly, this may
cause the disk to warp.
5.
When canned properly, this jar will seal itself automatically. Do not
retighten the ring once the jar is removed from the pressure canner as
they eventually will be removed when storing the canned food.
Warning: know how to detect spoiled foods
A leaky jar or a damaged lid are signs that the jar's contents may have spoiled.
Check if the contents have an odd colour or give off a strange smell.
Never taste food you think is spoiled. Dispose of immediately. Certain foods
may contain botulinum toxin (causing botulism) even if their smell and taste
appear normal. For this reason, boil non-acidic vegetables and meats for
10 minutes before eating. Other canned foods should also be boiled before
being eaten.
