Pros

  • I’ve never found anything that works better for this than Mason jars. As a bonus they last forever, they have interchangeable lids and they’re not plastic.
  • Wide mouth are best. The jars with a smaller lid and a "shoulder" supposedly are more likely to crack. Always leave some air gap at the top
  • Mason jars.
  • Glass will be be your friend here. Wide mouth mason jars with the metal lid and ring will work.
  • Mason jars with the metal lids ?

Cons

  • I use SV on mason jars a good bit for pâté. The lids get distorted after a few times through the bath. I'm still using the original lids but I will change them soon.
  • Mason jars
  • Parent context: For freezing? I would've thought the expansion of the water in the food as it freezes would shatter them. Good to know that's not the case! Reply: Do not fill them all the way or they will break. I made that mistake once.

Currently thinking of using 1/2 gal Mason jars because they are the cheapest option I’ve found.

Mason jars, vasaline (‘lotion, chapstick, makeup remover’), bath bombs- fun bath and cleans the tub, and the clip hangers from Ross or TJM, use in utility room or broom closet to hang supplies/rags from.
