What happens here
Place canning lids (the flat part with the rubber seal) into a small pot filled with warm water. The water should be heated to approximately 180°F. This warms the rubber seals, allowing them to soften and create a better seal during the canning process.
Goal: Warm canning lids to optimize sealing performance
