    The rings aren’t needed once the jar is sealed. Removing it can make it easier to tell when a seal has broken and the contents may not longer be safe.

      I can understand that. The loss of the ring to use as a pry bar to pop the top off baffles me, lol. I wouldn’t know how to open it without the ring!

        I mean the rings still exist, just not on each individual jar. Usually you can get an edge on the lid and pry it up to break the seal, once the seal is broken you add the ring back until you finish the jar.

          Yeah thanks for answering I actually have a bunch of ringer lid combos I use after I open them too. Also the lids are pretty easy to pop open with a key or the special thing on the can opener made for opening sealed lids
