Side note but what genius decided to make mason jar lids and not use stainless steel. I know the gum seal part is only good for one use canning, but I could reuse them all day for pickles. Except they're rusty as now and I gotta buy new lids, like i'm made of lid money :rage-cry:
well the regular mason jar O ring lids do provide a hermetic seal, that's why they're only supposed to be useable once though. The weird textured ring around the inside of the lid is some kind of gum substance that melts while canning and forms a seal. But I don't need no fancy sealin' for quick pickles, got dang it! And I'm too lazy to hand wash lids so I guess this is on me for running them through the dish washer knowing they could rust

Stainless steel is harder than regular steel and thus costs more to work.
Is my guess
