Use jars made for home
Product options
Regular-mouth half-pint jars with lids and bands
A 12-pack of 8-ounce home-canning jars supplied with compatible lids and bands. Use only when the tested recipe permits half-pint jars, and inspect every rim and jar before use.
Safe-use reminder
Equipment does not make an untested recipe safe. Use a current authoritative home-canning process that specifies the food, preparation, jar size, canner type, time or pressure, and altitude adjustment. Follow the equipment manufacturer’s current instructions.
Before you buy
- Confirm compatibility with your jars, lids, cooktop, and tested process.
- Check capacity, dimensions, replacement-part availability, and warranty terms.
- Inspect equipment before use and replace damaged or incompatible parts.
