    Yes they are a one time deal. The rubber gets soft and food particals get in the seal, They are cheep to buy so just replace them every time.

    Question about canning- bringing water to a boil

    My grandmama would put her jars in a 200 degree oven till she was ready to fill them. The heat form the oven would kill any nasties that were in the jar. She would lay them on their side on the oven racks. She did this for as long as I could remember. Just a thought.

    Beans

    No, I planted them where my Squash, Zukes and Cukes were. You always want to rotate your crops to keep the pest confused. Good Luck.

    Beans

    I planted mine Tues. I planted Blue Lake Bush beans. They mature in 55 to 58 days. I figured what the heck why not take the risk and go for it.

    Green Beans

    What does self pollinate mean. Does it mean they do it themselves and do not need bees or what. I'm confused. Help! please.

    Canning on a smooth top range?

    My Presto has a part of the pot that only covers the burner of my smooth top. The rest of the caner sits up off the stove. It works great.
