TWIST 82 Screw-On Lids for Preserving Jars, 10 pcs, Fruit

Product detailed description

Classic Twist Off 82 screw-on lid is a practical and proven choice for home preserving of fruit, vegetables and other favourite foods. The diameter 8.2 cm (82 mm) is intended for preserving jars with a corresponding threaded neck and is among the most commonly used sizes, especially for smaller jars. Use the lid when preparing homemade compotes, pickled cucumbers and vegetables, marmalades, jams, fruit spreads, sauces or other preserved foods. The TO 82 preserving lid is simply screwed directly onto the jar, so no preserving head is needed as with the OMNIA system. A correctly fitted and tightened lid helps create the necessary vacuum during preserving and safely close the jar contents. The practical pack contains 10 screw-on lids , which are sure to come in useful during the main preserving season.

The attractive fruit motif combined with a homemade treat is also ideal as a beautiful personal gift for your loved ones.

Advice and tips: 

Twist Off 82 lids are ideal for preserving larger portions thanks to their larger diameter. They are excellent for homemade marmalades and jams, fruit purées or vegetable specialities. 

Always check before use that the lid diameter and thread type correspond to the jar neck. The designation 82 means a lid diameter of 82 mm – the similar diameter alone does not guarantee compatibility with every jar. The jar neck must be clean, dry and undamaged before closing so that the lid can sit correctly.

Always carefully check the jar, its neck and the lid itself. The jar must be perfectly clean, without cracks or chipped edges. The lid must not be dented, deformed, corroded or have a damaged inner sealing layer. Wash the jar and lids thoroughly before filling and sterilise them according to the preserving method selected. When closing, the seating surface of the neck must be clean – remnants of marmalade, fat or other food may prevent proper sealing.

Tighten the Twist Off screw-on lid firmly, but not with maximum force. The lid must sit evenly on the jar neck, but there is no need to force it. Excessive tightening can damage the lid or thread and paradoxically worsen proper sealing. It is important to place the lid straight and tighten it by hand so that it sits firmly.

After preserving, let the jar cool and then check whether a vacuumhas formed. With a standard Twist Off lid, its centre is usually drawn slightly inwards and should not spring back or make a characteristic “click” when pressed with a finger. If the centre of the lid moves up and down or the lid does not hold firmly, the jar has probably not been closed correctly and should not be stored long-term.

What if the jar cannot be opened after several months? 😊 There is no need to fight it with a tea towel and all your strength. A rubberised lid opener can help by improving your grip; alternatively, briefly warm only the metal lid with warm water. Releasing the vacuum makes opening considerably easier. However, we do not recommend prising the lid open with a sharp knife – you could damage the jar or lid or injure yourself.

A quality lid is only one part of successful home preserving. The foundation is choosing the right preserving jars , selected not only according to capacity but also according to the neck type and corresponding closure. The range includes classic preserving jars for the Twist Off and OMNIA systems in various sizes, so you can easily choose a suitable option for marmalades, compotes, cucumbers, pickled vegetables and other homemade treats.

It is also worthwhile keeping a supply of spare preserving lids in several commonly used sizes at home. Practical preserving accessories , such as preserving heads, thermometers and other aids , will make preparation easier, especially during the main summer season.

When preparing larger quantities of marmalades, fruit spreads, syrups or preserving brine, large pots are also useful for conveniently processing larger quantities of fruit or vegetables at once. You can supplement your finished supplies with practical food containers , which you can use for organised storage of other ingredients in the kitchen and pantry.

And if, in addition to preserves, you also prepare homemade syrups, fruit must, juices or lemonades, take a look at bottles with swing-top closures. The sturdy mechanical closure with a seal is practical for repeated opening, and the bottles also look very attractive when serving or as part of your home supplies.
