Canning lid WECK model 8074112 — red, 8 cm diameter, pack of 10

WECK canning lid model 8074112 is a red, 8 cm diameter sealing lid supplied in a pack of 10, designed for use with compatible WECK jars in home food preservation. The lid combines a metal outer surface with a plastic sealing inner layer to provide a reliable closure for jams, preserves, pickles and other home-canned goods. Intended for repeated use in small-scale canning, these lids are sized to fit standard WECK jar necks that accept 8 cm lids and are suitable for cold-fill and processed preserves when used with the appropriate rubber gasket and clip system.

Advantages

The red metal/plastic lid offers a durable exterior finish with a food-safe inner sealing surface, enabling a secure fit on compatible jars. Supplied as a pack of ten, the set provides multiple replacements or spares for routine preserving tasks. Lids of this diameter are widely used in household canning and are compatible with the sealing accessories WECK jars require for vacuum formation when processed correctly.

Suitable for

• Sealing home-made jams and fruit preserves
• Pickling vegetables and relishes
• Small-batch sauces and condiments
• Short-term refrigerated storage of prepared foods

Key specifications

• Diameter: 8 cm
• Colour: red
• Material: metal outer layer with plastic sealing surface
• Pack quantity: 10 lids
• Compatibility: for WECK jars that accept 8 cm lids and use a separate rubber gasket and clips for sealing

How to use

Place a compatible rubber sealing gasket on the jar rim, centre the red lid over the gasket, then secure the lid with the appropriate WECK clips if required by your jar model. Process jars according to your chosen canning method (water bath or steam) and the recipe’s recommended time and temperature. After processing and cooling, check that a vacuum seal has formed; the lid should be concave and hold firmly in place. Lids can be removed by releasing the clips and prying up the edge once pressure has equalized.

Usage recommendations

Inspect lids and gaskets before each use for deformation, corrosion or damage. Replace any lid that shows signs of wear. Do not use lids with jars without the correct rubber gaskets and clips for vacuum sealing. Clean lids by hand washing and drying thoroughly; avoid prolonged exposure to strong detergents or abrasive scrubbers to maintain the sealing surface.
