I tested five lids in the pressure canner today with broth. Every jar has a nice tight seal. I did boil the lids for four minutes prior to using them, per a comment I got on my last post.
I also emailed the company just out of curiosity and asked about the lids they emailed back…
“The seal is made from BPA free material and complies with all FDA regulations and requiments. The Spongy feel you sense is because our lids have a slightly thicker sealing material than average and the lid itself is thicker also.
They have all been tested here in the US. My wife uses them (We are in Woodville, Texas). The buckling and sealing issue with everyday brands was the original reason for us to work on offering a thicker higher quality lid. Every single lid should seal. If you water bath, then leave them 3-5 minutes extra for better seal (as the seal is thicker it needs a few more minutes for it to set).”
