INSTRUCTIONS

After cooling jars for 12 to 24 hours, remove the screw bands and test
seals with one of the following options:
Option 1. Press the middle of the lid with a finger or thumb. If the lid
springs up when you release your finger the lid is unsealed.
Option 2. Tap the lid with the bottom of a teaspoon. If it makes a dull
sound, the lid is not sealed. If food is in contact with the underside of
the lid, it will also cause a dull sound. If the jar is sealed correctly,
it will make a ringing, high-pitched sound.
Option 3. Hold the jar at eye level and look across the lid. The lid should
be concave (curved down slightly in the center). If center of the lid is
either flat or bulging, it may not be sealed.
