Jarden Kerr Wide Mouth Half-Pint Glass Mason Jars 8-Ounces with Lids and Bands 12-Count per Case (1-Case)

My brother lives in Arizona and he LOVES our US31 BBQ SAUCE that is by far the BEST FRESH sauce there is!! The problem is it CAN'T be heated, so I can't can it 1st, but with the new dealers they have on the market today, I can sterilize the jars and lids fill them with the sauce and them send them in the Standard medium "If it fits it ships" boxes from the US Post Office! (He does put them in the fridge when he gets them though, the sauce has been tested to stay fresh up to 6 plus weeks as long as it's refrigerated... )Without paying an arm and a leg for shipping! I can other things is season and now that I know they work out so well, I will be using them for homemade gifts for other family members! Just make sure you save the bubble wrap they come in to wrap around them before you put them in the boxes prior to shipping!

We've got all of our spices in these jars. We prefer being able to scoop or grab a handful instead of sprinkling spices. This jar allows the ability to drop your fingers in to grab a handful for dropping on your food. We have been able to easily make bbq rubs, spaghetti sauces and delicious mexican dishes because these are the perfect size for using!

I was shopping around for little glass bowls that I could use in the kitchen to hold pre-measured ingredients when it occurred to me that I would get more use out of tiny mason jars.If you like to keep chopped onions in the fridge, a small mason jar is perfect because the tops will keep odors from getting into the fridge.If you like to eat bean salads, a small mason jar is perfect because it holds a nice portion for a "side" in the lunch box and you can pre-pack them ahead of time.If you make your own hummus, you can divide it up between two jars and use them to dip veggies or pita into.I used mine to melt chocolate chips in a pot of hot water. While the microwave may be faster, I enjoyed doing it in the mason jar on the stove, making what I assume to be a "double boiler". The chocolate melted nicely, there seemed to be much less chance of scorching it, and it didn't get overly hot unlike when you microwave it.I suppose they would be handy to shape/cut biscuit dough as well.And, of course, you can vacuum pack your jars to keep the food fresher longer, especially if you are making 5 portions for the work week and want to make sure Friday's lunch is as good as Monday's.Anyway, these jars have lots of uses and you will surely find more uses than you have jars.

These are a no-brainer. Environmentally friendly, easy storage, easy to clean, and will never wear out like plastic dishes. No worries about chemicals releasing when heated and they stack well!

I prefer to use these containers to put in my 8 once shaving cream and lotions that I make. I can actually reach the bottom easily. Hubby likes these jars better too because it's wide enough for his entire hand instead of only putting in a few fingers.

I'll start by saying that this is a criticism of Amazon listings in general. A friend of mine in the mid-west had some "Ball" mason 1/2 pint jars that looked as if you took the quart jar and lobbed off most of it. So they're kind of flat, but they hold a half pint and have a wide mouth. Well, I did some searching here and found 4 in a package for 10 or more dollars. I wanted more than four so after some digging around I found this product. Well, they're flattish and have a wide mouth, BUT THERE'S NO PICTURE OF THE ACTUAL JAR!!! I have simply not purchased things on Amazon for this reason.After looking at the reviews and seeing that someone said they liked the "squat look" of the product I decided to go for it. Well, they're not what I was looking for, but they're very cute and will do for my purposes. They may even be better, but time and experience will have to determine that. I use jars to store all of my leftovers or take-alongs in order to avoid plastic.

This product works great for canning, just make sure that the cans are screwed on finger-tip tight (AKA screwing the lid on just until it has a little resistance). I also use it for sous vide when I need to make sauces, flan, cheesecake, creme brulee. The only time I had a problem was when I screwed it past a finger-tip tight and the jars burst. Also a case of these should only cost about $9 to $12, and I would not buy anything much over that. The price gouging on this item is ridiculous and should not cost $24 or even $36 dollars. At that point I will buy artisanal canned food or desserts from a bakery, instead of giving money to these price gougers.

These were packaged very well. Can't beat the price for these jars. My groceries don't carry these squatty wide mouth jars so I was happy to find them here. Kerr is a trust worthy name in canning and storage.
