Very valid point, although my mom for a good many years used the same jars
over and over. We did most of our canning with hot baths to seal them and
only rarely (basically only when we HAD to) used the pressure cooker. I
still remember how to do most of the canning my mom and I did, even though
it was enough years ago I should have forgotten lol...
