Amazon.com Review
Keep half-eaten cans of soup, partially used jars of tomato sauce, and opened canisters of ground coffee from spoiling before they can be finished. This pack of two universal lids is for use with any FoodSaver vacuum packaging machine that has an accessory port and keeps opened containers of food fresh three to five times longer than other storage methods. The lids rest over the top of glass jars or metal cans while tubing (sold separately) inserts through their tops and removes air from jars with the help of a FoodSaver machine (also sold separately). Food can be left in its original store-bought packaging, which eliminates the need to purchase an elaborate and expensive collection of storage containers. This set comes with lids in 4-inch- and 5-1/2-inch-diameter sizes to cover the majority of condiment or prepared food containers. These lids should not be used on containers made of crystal, delicate glass, aluminum, or plastic and should not be used in place of traditional canning methods. --Cristina Vaamonde

 Decent Foodsaver Univeral Lids April 16, 2008

I own a bunch of these lids, in assorted sizes, along with a Tilia Foodsaver (I forget which model). The smaller lids are good for sealing things like cleaned and recycled 8, 12, 16, 24 and 40 oz jars (typically old jelly, salsa and honey jars), and the larger lids are useful for things like large 5 liter 'beehive' jars (which can hold things like 5-10 lbs of rice, dried grains, polenta meal, orzo pasta, sugar, etc.)
I've found them to be pretty handy, but they're definitely not perfect. My chief nit is that I wish the tilia foodsaver created a stronger vaccum on it's univeral container port - but that's the foodsaver's fault, not the lid's fault. Also, in order for these lids to hold a good seal for any decent length of time, the jars you use them on must have lips that are pristinely clean, not too thin, and they must be free of irregularities and/or scratches. Jars that lose their seal after a few days are usually (but not always) mostly the fault of the jar's lip, not the univeral lid.
These lids generally hold a decent vaccum for several weeks, but thereafter, regular rechecking, even with proven jars, typically turns up 1 jar in 10 that's lost pressure and needed resealing ... so these lids clearly dont hold a perfect vaccum for a great lenth of time. The best results I've seen so far is about 3-6 months for a given jar - and it's invariably the larger jars with wide flat lips that seem to hold the best seal.
However, these lids still offer a better closure, and definite freshness improvement over just a loose lid, for countertop and undercounter storage. Staleness, meal worms, and other pests, are typically no longer a problem once you make the jump from store-bought cardboard containers and plastic bags to proper glass jars fitted with univeral lids.
For me, it's been worth it.

The ability to seal jars with the Universal Lids was difficult with the larger lid and impossible with the standard lid. I bought two sets with similar results. I called the company for suggestions and received a "brisk" response that I didn't season the lids properly. Don't buy it! The hassle is not worth it.
The wide mouth mason jar lid sealer works fairly well, but the standard mason jar lid sealer is dificult to seal. The Ball standard lids seem to work better than the Kerr lids, for what ever reason.

For longer term storage I always use the foodsaver canisters or the bags but these are great for slapping a quick cover on some left overs and having them stay fresh for the next few days.
