Place a pot of water - with the water a few inches deep - on the stove and bring the water to boiling or at least steaming and just about to boil. Keep the temperature just hot enough to keep the water boiling or steaming. Place the lids in the water for at least 1 minute (look on the box to see if the manufacturer has different instructions). Remove them with tongs one at a time as you need them. Do not allow the water to boil off to the point of exposing any of the lids.

How do you seal jars when canning with platisol lined lids?
The process is almost identical to the process for 2-piece canning lids. Choose plastisol lined lids with a "button" in the center of the lid. Wash them in mild soapy water, rinse, place in a pot of gently boiling water for 10 minutes then reduce the heat and keep hot until you use them. Tighten them down fingertip tight as you do with a 2-piece lid and process the same as for a 2-piece lid. Plastisol lids can take longer to seal, do not be worried if it takes an hour or more to hear the ping.
