Silicone lids for home preserving/canning jars

Looking for something else, I came across silicone seals for canning jars, where the silicone replaces the metal + rubberized lid, but not the band. They're all reusable. Some might be BPA free.

 

I've never done any canning, but I keep thinking I should try it. I have a lot of canning jars which I use for other storage.

 

Are these a good idea for canning? Any caveats?

I do not believe you can actually can with them, but they do complete the seal for non-shelf-stable storage in ball/kerr jars after you've broken the heat-canned seal (or where you didn't bother to process for shelf-stable storage).   This comes in handy with liquids or smelly items.  

 

At least that's the ones I use.  Which are these:     https://masonjarlifestyle.com/product/leak-proof-food-safe-silicone-sealing-lid-liners-regular-mouth-mason-jars/
