Have you guys dealt with this? I lose about 2 canning jars a season when the bottoms blow-out like this. Its usually pickles, too - never happens with jams. ETA: This isnt mine, its The Crunchy Chickens, who knows her way around a canning kettle, so Im sure she is using a rack, etc. But Ive had this same thing happen. I think its typically temperature shock - easier to happen when fiddling with green beans or pickles: the jars cool off, then hit the boiling water and crack at the bottom. Sometimes Ill go into hot but not boiling water for this very reason and heat jars and water together. Still measure processing time from the boil, though. Also, when I say 2 a season, thats still less than 1% failure rate. :)
