Death by Canning

Likely not that dramatic. In any case, you should still read the Ecoholic article in this week's NOW magazine, re: nasty chemicals in canning lids:

I had no idea that the standard canning lids contained bisphenol A (BPA). Nor was I aware of a reusable lid alternative.

Adria also references a few of her favourite canning websites. Warning though: before you start clicking on the links, be prepared for a few hours of reading and being inspired by great ideas. Speaking of which... you should also check out wellpreserved.ca, a fantastic food blog authored by two well-seasoned canners, who just happen to be my neighbors.
