 I don't use them for canning...Jan 08, 2006
By E. Eskam
...I use them with my FoodSaver vacuum sealer! These jars are perfect for anything from grated cheese, flour, sugar, nuts, oats, cereal, chips - anything you can think of that is bulky.
They work exceptionally well with grated cheese - I like to buy 2lb blocks of Tillamook cheddar, get out the food processor and grate the whole block. Then store in the jars in the fridge. Vacuum sealed, the grated cheese will keep for over a month easy, without drying out or molding. Cheaper than the pre-grated, and less preservatives too.
Love my wide-mouth jar attachment in conjunction with these Ball canning jars...

They must be good. Im ordering them AGAIN!Mar 29, 2008

They arrived promptly unbroken. I use these for canning, and storing dry goods. They seal with a vacuum sealer. You can also buy sprouting lids on amazon that will fit wide mouth canning jars. As soon as I open chips, crackers or cookies I put that in a jar. It keeps insects away AND makes it more likely to consume only a small portion. Store your powdered milk, flour, sugar, tea leaves, coffee beans, dried beans, and pasta in these. Make up in batches your favorite baking mixes and add to these jars. Store dried fruit and vegetables here. I keep a LARGE jar of dried onions and one of dried mushrooms to use in soups and sauces such as for spaghetti. If your remotely thinking about buying these, buy one set of 6. You will wonder what you did without them. Its difficult these days to find an item for a bit over a dollar apiece, 10 for a set of 6. that is THIS useful.

mason jarsOct 17, 2008
By EAD45
After spending more time than I wanted trying to get rid of pantry moths and tossing out dry foods, I decided to try these jars. Loved them. Used for cereals, oatmeal, flours, rice, etc. They are great. Right into the dishwasher and you always can tell the amount you have left. My pantry is now moth free and very organized looking. Out with the new plastics and in with the old jars.

 Do your research folks.Aug 06, 2011

I just bought two cases of 6 half gallon jars from Amazon for $19.59 each. Then, on my next trip into a local family owned grocery I saw the exact same Ball product regularly priced at $9.79 per case of 6. I got taken royally by Amazon. Free shipping indeed!

 Bad Packaging ProtectionJul 18, 2011
By Mr. Natural's son
"Live free or die!"
Half gallon canning jars are not an easy item to find locally. I had no choice but to consider an online purchase.
I've ordered from several reputable companies handling products in glass containers with no problems. I figured a big name outfit like Amazon or Ball Mason Jars would have the ability to ship EMPTY glass jars with some degree of success.
I WAS WRONG!
Some very simple and inexpensive reinforcement of the package containing only Two Cases of Six Half Gallon Mason Jars and all Twelve Jars might have survived. Instead Three of the corner jars were broken.
Amazon might have a really easy return policy but the USPS won't ship damaged packages. So I would have to repackage the broken glass into a new and more substantial box at my own personal expense just to return the damaged goods.
Totally unacceptable from my viewpoint.
I've filed a packaging feedback report with a photo several days ago and still waiting to receive so much as an email acknowledging my complaint.
There is no phone number to call. There is no complaint department. You're at the mercy of an automated system that must get the attention of a human worker. This is a frustrating situation and the only time Amazon has dropped the ball, but they seemed to have lost the ball too.
Caveat Emptor!
