Mason Jars have been around for many years. You may remember seeing these in your grandma’s pantry when she would pickle and put up vegetables. Today these are popular again and there is no wonder why. These jars are made of tough glass that are made to withstand high, moist temperatures. The seal you get with the lid keeps moisture out better than so many other containers. They are not recommended for dry heat, so no microwave or oven cooking with these.
We prefer the Ball brand wide mouth jars, the reason why is the Ball Brand has measurements on the side making it easier to put ingredients together quickly, all in one jar. The wide mouth makes it easy to pour ingredients into it and also easier to scoop contents out.
They are fabulous for making Mason Jar Salads. They showcase entire layered salads with colorful veggies and look so beautiful in the fridge. When you bring Mason Jar salads to work your coworkers will be envious of your lunch! They are perfect for meal prepping Overnight Oats, Chia Seed Puddings, and Yogurt Parfaits. Just open the lid and eat your breakfast. The lids are available in metal and in plastic. If you opt for the plastic lids your jars are 100% dishwasher safe.
