[Sca-cooks] food safe temperature

[Micheal]

 In some cases those are replicas of the old jars but essentially the same 
yes. You can still get them in Canada if you look hard enough. Old country 
stores and what not. I have seen them round, square, and diamond shaped. As 
for other areas one of the Brands of Dutch beer comes in a style of bottle 
that has a reusable stopper of the same fashion.
