  • Can you re-use Classico Pasta Sauce ATLAS mason jars for canning? I do. Ball lids fit these 24 ounce size jars perfectly. I can in the Classico ATLAS mason jar. In this video, we show that the glass content is there but are they tough enough for canning?
    It amazes me the people think that these majors jars are not capable of canning items. I have used these for about five years. They make great blueberry syrup jars because they are 24 ounces. Classico Atlas mason jars have proven themselves tough enough for my canning.
    Last year in 2021, we had a huge crop of blueberries. I canned about 25 jars of blueberry syrup in these Classico ATLAS mason jars. They worked great and looked really cool for Christmas gifts.

    I can in all spaghetti sauce jars, pickle jars and salsa jars. Any jar whose lid has teeth, a rubber ring and a button top. I use them over and over. Never a crack, never a broken seal. 30 years and counting.

    Ball does make a 1 1/2 pt. jar. I have 2 boxes of them but have never weighed them. I'm assuming they would be equal to the Atlas jars in size. I also have been saving them. I have some of the old Atlas mason quart jars that I'm still using. There is just too much "hype" out there. According to the "experts" going out of the box is a no-no. Well, with the way the "experts" are thinking, going out of the box may just save and help us. My grandmother dried her apples and pears on her gas heater in her living room and no one ever got sick or died. Today, everything must be thermostatically "controlled" at the proper temperature to avoid illness. People today are getting sick more than ever because they don't have enough good and bad bacteria in their bodies to help ward off illnesses. I'm pushing 74 and am doing things the way my grandmother did - she was born in 1889. Thank you Grandma!!!!! I agree with your decision to use the Atlas jars.

Folks found what worked and used it. Thanks for your comment and reminding me of my grandparents!

    I have used the Classico Pasta Sauce for years and have had no problems. They are great for chicken legs because they slide out and don't get stuck under the rim. They usually will hold three legs which is enough meat for my husband and I to garnish our salads. The broth will season a pot of rice later. I wait until the legs go on sale and do a big canning.
    They are also great for canning pickle spears and asparagus spears or other things that are hard to get out of a jar.

I would have never weighed them if it were not for your video. I found the results interesting. I have heard it is the ridges on the bottom base that determine if a jar is capable of pressure canning. For Example, if there is a raised dot matrix style ring around the bottom (check out your Ball jars) then it is safe for pressure canning. I do not know if this is accurate or not.

  • @JenniferG19
    @JenniferG19 Před 7 měsíci

    I am not much of a "rebel canner", but I re-use Classico jars to store emergency water using my pressure canner. I figure it's pretty low-risk if a seal fails (just boil the water for at least 5 minutes before consuming to re-sanitize). If the jar breaks in the canner (which hasn't happened yet), it's not like you've wasted a jar of actual food. That way I feel comfy canning my actual botulism-prone foods "by the books", but I can still have a productive way to re-use these jars.
    Canning water is pretty easy (the NCHFP recommendation is a 10 minute water bath) and you can easily fill empty space in your canner in any other canning recipe that requires at least a 10 minute processing time.
    The jars are also great for "dry canning" (using a canning lid vacuum sealer) for dry beans and my dehydrated veggies or any half-opened packages of shelf stable stuff.

    I use any glass jar that came with another product in it. From the store to can any garden produce I grow. I have had great success. Minimal failure if any. Actually, I may have had more failure with canning jar than any reused jar. Most often I purchase bulk goods and i re-can it in reused jars. Done it for many many years. Never had an issue. I’ll bet you can buy a case of the spaghetti sauce. And pay a few more cents than what you pay for a case of canning jars. So you’re getting product and canning jars. What a deal.

    @blaketucker9070 Před rokem +1

    Your calculations assume the weight to size of jar is linear. I don't know if that is accurate when scaling volume. But others point out these are sealed at the factory so water bath should be fine. However, you mentioned the company that makes these did not endorse using these for canning so they must have a good legal reason to say that. I'd say use at your own risk and not be surprised if it fails. Overall though I did appreciate measuring multiple jars to get an average weight.

    I talked to a Classico rep. The person said that the company uses the Atlas Mason jar name as a marketing ploy. The company uses thinner glass to save on shipping costs. There is also a film on the glass to prevent scratches. I wouldn’t use it personally - I put too much time and effort into canning to have the jars break.

    • @useful.knowledge

      Hi. It’s definitely a marketing ploy but as shown in the video, the glass content by weight is there and I have never had one to break on me. I can all of my blueberry syrup in them every year and will continue to do so. Also, check the comments…..lots of folks are using them successfully.

I came here after seeing a Reddit post from 9 months ago where someone mentioned that Classico changed their lids to a lug type, so they can't be used for hot and dry canning anymore. Do you know if this is true? I have 6 32oz Classico pasta sauce Atlas Mason jars that I got at BJ's. I cleaned them out and planned on using it to dry vacuum seal goods like rice and beans. Thanks in advance if you ever reply back.

    Another method, 8.6 /16= .54 per oz. 13.3 /32= .42 per oz. 12.1 /24= .51 per oz. So the ball 32 is slightly lighter than the other 2 sizes.
