Weck jars and containers
Sturdy glassware with glass lids. The generic seals are easily replacable, and will be available for decades to come. They can be put in the microwave or freezer (without the seal), and obviously don't leech any microplastics or hormones into your food.
Produced in Germany since 1900.
Traditionally these are used for making jam, but the larger ones also make for good storage containers for cereal, pasta, flour and sugar etc
Thought this was an artshare community and was about to congratulate you on your ability to capture the light so effortlessly
I hand picked it from their website 😌

Funnily enough I mostly saw them for preserving vegetables, mostly cucumbers. They're kind of making a comeback the last few years.
Always preferred Mason/Ball to Weck because the Weck rubber rims can be finicky and little metal clips tend to go missing.
The Ball two-piece-lid is pretty rad.
The one Weck container I have the rubber rim went bad pretty quickly on and the replacement doesn't fit quite right so it leaks if you shake it at all.
I'm gonna also side on the twist on 2 piece lid designs are better.
Had that problem too. And the glass chipped easily imo.
i thought they were broke...
in german there is a synonym for "to preserve", it's "einWECKen"
I Pesonally prefer the products of Bormioli Rocco over Weck, partly because they are cheaper, but also i prefer the mechanism. At least where i live you can buy these in every Supermarket, and the squared shape makes storing stuff in a drawer way easier.
Didn't know them, thanks!
Saved. Thank you!
I bought a lot of them on glass-shop.com some months ago. They are really great and not as thin as other glasses. However I am not so sure about the lid. I bough silicon lids like these, because I wanted a quick possibility to open them, but they suck. They are not tight at all, it's more like you lay them on the glass. I want those to be tight and safe against food moths. What do you think about the traditional lids like depicted in your photo? Are there better ones, that make it more comfortable to open the glasses?
Food moths… so teenagers. 🤣

I think "swing top" is what your looking for. Weck has them too I don't know if you can add them to your existing jars
Cat: wreck the weck!
