Glass Jars with Airtight Lid, Large Glass Food Storage Jars, 3 Pack Wide Mouth Airtight Glass Jars ffor Flour, Cereal, Coffee, Pasta and Canning

Tall, Heavy, Super Impressive!
These jars. Oh, these magnificent jars. They’re not just containers; they’re architectural marvels! I mean, 10.62 inches of glorious, food-grade glass. My cucumbers practically bowed in reverence when I placed them inside.Let’s talk about the weight. These aren’t your flimsy, easily-tipped-over, “oops-I-accidentally-shattered-the-whole-set” type of jars. No sir. These things are heavy. I suspect they could double as medieval weaponry. I haven’t tried hurling one at a castle wall yet (mostly because I don’t own a castle, and also because I value my windows), but I’m strongly considering it.The airtight lid? Forget it. Forget trying to get anything out without a serious struggle. My pickles are so perfectly sealed, they’ve probably evolved into a new, highly-fermented species by now. I’m tempted to call the National Geographic Channel.The “wide mouth”? Let’s call it “generously proportioned.” Perfect for that gargantuan jar of homemade kimchi your aunt insists on making every year. (I still haven’t forgiven her for the incident with the exploding sauerkraut, but these jars… these jars might be able to withstand it.)In short: If you want jars that are sturdy enough to survive a zombie apocalypse, elegant enough to grace your fanciest shelf, and secure enough to imprison your most rebellious pickles, then look no further. Just be prepared for a serious arm workout when you’re trying to open them. I recommend a set of industrial-strength jar openers…and maybe a chiropractor. Five stars!

A great replacement for my decades-old jar
I’ve had a jar with this kind of lid for years, generally using it at Thanksgiving and Christmas for bringing homemade cranberry sauce to my sister’s place for the family gathering since the jar holds a lot but doesn’t leak–an important attribute when you’re transporting fresh cranberries cooked in a brandy sauce and being a tad liquid-y. But this past year, I noticed there’s a small chip on one side below the jar’s mouth, not affecting the ability to close completely, but worrisome nonetheless. So when I saw these glass jars advertised and looking very much like that jar, I thought it must be kismet–replacement jar plus a couple of spares.When the box arrived, though, I saw that one was broken, but two were still intact. Perhaps the three could have used some padding between them, like bubble wrapping. Nonetheless, I’ve got two jars that are plenty big for the amount of cranberry sauce I usually have to transport (and I typically use a padded, insulated wine bottle carrier to bring that cranberry sauce in the car). I’m happy with those two jars, one of which may begin to house pasta as shown. And if one of them chips somehow, I now have a replacement for my holidays sauce just in case!

Good big jars
These are very nice storage containers. I like all things with swing top lids because you never lose the lid and it always seals well. These are no exception. Clear silicone seal. Stainless wire swingtop mechanism made from slightly thinner but stiffer wire than typical. It works well. All sharp ends are bent away from areas of potential contact. The jars have a good large volume. Clarity. The cut foam packaging ensures they arrive in tact. Good price.

Storage savers and good quality
Good quality glass jars. Fairly tall. Great seal. Easy to clean but definitely get a brush. I use it to keep pickled foods, or baking ingredients. Overall love and constantly use.
