There are, alternatively, tattler or other lids meant to be nearly infinitely reused even if you do water bath or pressure can them. I had never heard of them, so thought I would mention their existence :]
That is so true. There are two main brands, Tater and Harvest right. They have specialized gaskets that are made to be sealed many times without breaking down, though they're used slightly differently than regular lids (read the instructions that come with them). I'm not sure those will work with the European "flip" method that doesn't involve canning though....
Thank you so much!!!
