What would make the flats on canning jars bend and curl during a hot water bath?

Two-piece vacuum lids are made to release pressure by venting air from the jar after processing and upon cooling. When the lid does not vent, pressure build-up warps the lids. There are several possible reasons for lids to buckle when in a hot water bath or pressure canner:
- If the screw bands are applied too tightly it causes buckling immediately after processing.
- It you boil the lids (should be heated but not boiled) it softens the sealing compound too much, and results in a premature seal.
- Food spoilage due to incorrect processing produces gases inside the jar that force the lid to buckle or unseal.
To prevent buckled lids: Process foods using up-to-date guidelines, prepare lids according to manufacturer's instructions, and apply bands just until a point of resistance is met - fingertip tight.

Is it safe to use old blue green glass canning jars?
You shouldn't use the older canning jars for several reasons. They may "explode" when the cool air hits the jar as you move it out of the hot water or at any time during the cooling down period. They may not seal well and the food could become contaminated or poisonous. The bottom could simply "fall off" in the water during the canning process, releasing the food within the jar out into the water. Also, the older jars were not made for pressure canning and may not withstand the pressure.

How do you can vegetable?
There are whole books written on canning practices. Basically, you put the vegetables in sterilized canning jars, cover them with boiling water, loosely seal the jars and them boil them covered completely in water long enough to kill and bacteria they may contain. The times vary by type of vegetable. It would be best for you to get a book on canning and read up on the types of vegetables you want to can.
Can you use a water bath for canning zucchini?
While the traditional teaching is no, all canning with perhaps the canning of meat products can be done in a water bath canner. It is important that you maintain the highest possible temperature for fifteen to twenty minutes. It may be necessary to keep extra water boiling to keep the canner water level high enough though. Since zucchini is a low acid food the National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP) does not recommend canning zucchini in either a hot water bath or a pressure bath. Not only is zucchini a low acid food but when prepared for canning (cooked) it compresses down quite a bit and becomes dense. There is not adequate approved research that documents the amount of time necessary to process zucchini in either the hot water bath or pressure bath method. Personally, I would freeze it. The NCHFP has a terrific website for all methods of canning and preserving (including freezing and drying) fruits, vegetables, and meats.
Did people call there homes flats during the holocaust?
Most people in the Holocaust did not speak English, so no they would not have called them flats, they would have used whatever the term was in their own language. Of course flats existed in the forties, but they were not as common as they are now, but at any rate the translations and texts would have been written closer to the present time, therefore they use language that we use now; hence the use of the word 'flat' do describe an apartment within a larger building.
