when ordering Le Parfait gaskets - you need to know the following:

the 125G and 250G terrine jars take a 70MM gasket - the 1000ML TERRINE takes a 100MM .. the other terrine jars take an 85MM - a terrine style jar has the same width as the mouth opening.

All standard jars from LeParfait UP to the 3L take a 85MM.. that means the standard(that is the style they make now in addition to the terrine) sizes 1/2L , 3/4L , 1L , 1 1/2L and 2L take this gasket.

Also note that they used to make a line called SUPER *says SUPER on the body* .. they take a 100MM for all their sizes.

With the Le Parfait line - the wording is clear in the ad - however many people do not know what jars they have OR have a mix of styles!

Original Le Parfait gaskets are made in France and are orange - not red - not white! Beware of chinese imitations - they are not rated for canning usage with these jars and are not certified as food safe composition for anything but prewrapped product.

Bormioli Italian made White gaskets WILL fit Le Parfait standard (85MM) jars ... but are a tad larger overall! There are 2 styles of Italian gaskets - white bleached gaskets (bright white chemically treated for a "glazed" finish") and Eco friendly white gaskets (same composition but not chemically bleaced or treated) .. both are acceptable for canning purposes.

I purchased these, and they are the correct size for my jars. The cost is $4.70 for 8. I know shipping is expensive, so I didn't flinch at the 5.63 s & h cost- until I saw the package, with 8 unpackaged (that's a good thing) gaskets in a small envelope, with a shipping cost of $1.56. I called the merchant to better understand the exorbitant "handling" cost. I had, after all, just had two books shipped expedited for under $5, and three shirts shipped for just slightly more! The speed with which she interrupted me belied her comment that I was the first to ever question this charge!

Great product, very poor policy and customer relations.

These canning jar gaskets also fit on ARC jars as well. Also, these gaskets have no odor.

Great product, great price.

I have some jars I got maybe 25 years ago. I don't recall the brand. I measured my jars carefully, and took the leap and got these. They all fit perfectly and they made my old jars like brand new. I ordered these from Amazon, and as always they shipped promptly, sensibly packaged. Would I order these again? Yes!

Althought the gaskets are described as fitting from 0.5 to 2 L jars, that is a bit of a stretch of the imagination. The fit is difficult with the larger jars. OK for smaller mouthed jars only.

I had purchased gaskets from another company through Amazon. They were white, rubbery, and had a strong odor that did not lessen over two months. These are exactly what I wanted in the first place, so as soon as they arrived, I replaced the odious gaskets with the Parfait brand.

I bought a set of French Parfait sealing jars back in the 70's while living in Vancouver. The jars have moved several times with me and have protected yummy homemade cranberry sauce, salsa, fruit compote, borsht, pea soup, granola, etc etc The only problem was that the rubber sealing rings have all dried out and fallen apart. Another one bit the dust last week and I said to my dish-washing husband. "Nuts, I can't find replacement rings for these puppies. I suppose 40 years is their limit"
Smart guy suggested looking for them online. Cool. 10 minutes later the new rings are on their way. The Postal Strike delayed them for a couple of weeks, but they are home, installed and we are good for another 40 years of well protected good food.
Parfait jars, with nice clean rings, the best way to store stuff in the fridge.

I bought some canning jars in a thrift shop for $3.00 each but the gaskets were either missing or cracked and dried out. So I found these gaskets once I found the jars online. Now my jars are complete and air tight usable. So for about $2.00 per gasket and the $3.00 for the jars I saved $15.00 per jar vs buying new ones. Thank you for the quick response and mailing. In Florida you need air tight containers.

I was having a tough time finding these replacement gaskets anywhere locally. Ultimately I found these at Amazon and they are perfect for "Le Parfait". Exactly as pictured.

These rings fit my snap ring jars much better than the bigger white ones. The big white ones interfere with moving the metal snap rings over the top of them to open or close the jars. The material of the rings seems fine.
