Lol, okay. Will be cautious. It was supposed to last a year in a cabinet I thought.

I mean, I'm certainly not a bacterial biologist. Without that education, I would never pretend to truly understand these subjects. All I can do is read the recommendations of real scientists, but no one covers canned tomato sauce with olive oil floating on top but still put in the fridge, lol...

Well, I did boil it for 45m before putting in the fridge, so it should be canned. The other thing to consider is I have olive oil just sitting on the counter, many months if not a year, lol. So there is no way it went bad unless maybe the oil got infected from the tomatoes. The oil was supposed...

Ah, fascinating. Guess I should scrap it off and stop using olive oil if I put it in the fridge. Haven't found the nerve to can and leave at room temp yet, lol

Jams, jellies and sauces mostly. Thanks, good advice. I don't understand why you store without rings though, isn't it better puece of mind with it on? A little pressure to open doesn't seem like a good approach.

I dont know guys. I'm an engineer and feel like the canning industry might be price gouging us and making our lives harder. They charge almost as much for the lids as the jars, and its just a pain. There has to be a better system. Even the jars of stuff you buy in the grocery store seem...

Is there a better canning system than mason jars? Why not stainless steel? Why do we need thst silicon seal, ain't there another way? Something more reusable more practical, more durable... one piece tops.
