Yes, we\u2019re starting off 2019 talking about our lids.<\/p>\n<p>Happy 2019, and we hope that you find this new series about how our smartly engineered product components work as interesting as we do! And lest you think we are a bunch of engineers sitting around geeking out about our products (which, we happily are!), we were inspired to write this series because of the many questions that you, our fans and enthusiasts, ask us.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most frequently asked questions comes from those of you who use our bottles, lunch jars and food jars \u2013 the items that typically have screw-off lids. Upon first glance, many of our customers aren\u2019t sure why our lids have multiple pieces, after all\u2026isn\u2019t one lid just like any other?<\/p>\n<p>Of course not! We have designed our screw-off lids to cleverly solve a few problems, without requiring you to learn a new technology or to deal with lots of difficult processes. Let\u2019s deconstruct the lid first.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3642\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3642\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3642 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/name-of-each-part.jpg\" alt=\"Zojirushi Lid Deconstruction\" width=\"900\" height=\"1001\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/name-of-each-part.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/name-of-each-part-270x300.jpg 270w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/name-of-each-part-768x854.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3642\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">It looks like a lot of pieces, but each one fits seamlessly and serves a purpose.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It looks like a lot of pieces, but each one fits seamlessly and serves a purpose. The Lid Cover and Lid Cover Gasket top the show. The Stopper Cover protects the inner stopper system, which is comprised of the Stopper, Valve Packing and Stopper Gasket, all of which help to prevent leaks. The Valve Packing helps manage pressure inside the main body that can be created when hot foods or drinks are stored in the container. The Lid Cover at the very top is removable to allow access to the Valve Packing when needed, and the extra space within the lid also creates an insulated barrier so that the temperature of the food or drink inside the main body is maintained.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3643\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3643\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3643 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Image1.gif\" alt=\"Pressure release valve helps to release built-up pressure - Zojirushi\" width=\"720\" height=\"479\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3643\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pressure release valve helps to release built-up pressure<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The components of the inner stopper system are meant to seal the main body shut, and the Valve Packing manages the pressure inside of the container. Sometimes, when the containers are filled with hot foods or beverages, pressure can build up inside and seal the lid tightly onto the main body.

Rather than forcing the lid off, and potentially scalding yourself, we\u2019ve designed the lid so that you simply take off the Lid Cover, insert a toothpick into one of the two small holes in the\u00a0 Stopper, and release some of the pressure inside of the main body. This works the similar to the way pressure is released from a pressure cooker. Then, just screw the lid off and enjoy!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3644\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3644\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3644 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/SM-JHE-BA-Mouth-Ring-1024x770.jpg\" alt=\"Removable mouth ring for drinking comfort - Zojirushi\" width=\"1024\" height=\"770\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/SM-JHE-BA-Mouth-Ring-1024x770.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/SM-JHE-BA-Mouth-Ring-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/SM-JHE-BA-Mouth-Ring-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/SM-JHE-BA-Mouth-Ring-399x300.jpg 399w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3644\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Removable mouth ring for drinking comfort<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Mouth Ring and Mouth Ring Gasket below the lid components are for drinking comfort, and the lid fits securely into this area.
