Material: 100% Polypropylene Product: Snug-fitting yet removable strainer screens with plastic lid bands for your jars. Switch it out with other sizes and materials for custom, easy straining, clean-up and space-saving storage. Plastic lid band eliminates rust problems and is more durable than the standard tin canning lid bands*. Dishwasher safe. Do not boil (it can shrink up to 1/4"), use other natural methods like vinegar or sunlight for alternative sterilization instead. *Please be aware that standard tin canning lids eventually rust, due to exposure to moisture, acids, and other metals (galvanic reaction). You may use our stainless steel screens with those bands, but the tin band will leach rust onto the screen. We highly recommend our polypropylene or silicone screens for use with a standard tin lid band (if you are not using the plastic band). Shipping: Shipping starts at $2.55.
