Since I can’t reply to the others that have comment on my stainless issue I’ll just put this here:
The metal screw band is what I want in stainless. I realize that it is possible that you can remove the band after the seal has set, but that was never something we did. So the first time around the screw band is a little tough to get off, if you go for a second use it’s likely you’ll need to whack it with a knife handle to break it free. Stainless would solve this issue, and considering a 12 pack of lids is only about $1-2 dollars cheaper than bands with lids I think a dozen set of stainless screw bands could be made for $20 if not less.
