Claim 0:
1. A lid component for use with a jar and a band, the lid component being made of an air-impermeable material and being dimensioned and configured to be releasably attachable to the jar by the band and to seal a wide mouth opening of the jar in an air-tight manner, the lid component comprising:
a one-way valve adapted to allow gas to escape from the jar while, at the same time, prevent air from entering the jar, when the lid component is releasably attached to the jar; and
a sealing wall,
wherein the one-way valve comprises a bottom opening and a protruding top wall, the protruding top wall defining a space and the protruding top wall having at least one opening biased towards a closed position and movable to an open position when pressure inside the space exceeds atmospheric pressure by a threshold amount;
wherein the sealing wall extends radially outwardly from the bottom opening;
wherein the sealing wall is substantially flat;
wherein the lid component has a height and a diameter;
wherein the bottom opening has a bottom opening diameter;
wherein the sealing wall has a sealing wall diameter that is equal to the diameter of the lid component minus the bottom opening diameter; and
wherein the sealing wall diameter is at least two (2) times greater than the height of the lid component.
