Pakkon Wide Mouth Glass Mason Jar with PlasticLid/Ferment & Store Kombucha Tea or Kefir/Use for Canning, Storing, Pickling & Preserving Dishwasher Safe, Airtight Liner Seal, 1 gallon

I purchased this for my husband's new hobby of making kombucha at home, after buying it for years. It definitely serves it's purpose. It's heavy enough and after our first batch, absolutely no odor or "vinegar" smell. If I needed more, I'd definitely purchase more!

I received 2 glass jars like this but with a metal cover over 50 years from my grandmother to store leftover chicken soup. I use these jars all the time. My daughter wanted a jar for same purpose but I did not wish to give up mine thus I went online. This jar is almost exactly like the ones I have; mine are a bit larger which I would have preferred but I am fine with this. There are pros & cons to the metal vs. plastic covers........the metal does rust & I always use plastic wrap on mouth before I place metal cover on jar. The plastic can crack. I like the plastic so far much better and am hoping & being careful when using it so it does not crack.

I use this jar to store fruit/veggie scraps to take outside to my compost. I like it for this purpose for a few reasons:- It’s a great price, not as expensive as a stainless steel compost bucket would be.- it’s easy to clean out because it’s glass, and therefore doesn’t retain any odor like a plastic one would.- It’s sturdy and the perfect size/shape for under the sink storage- The wide mouth makes it easy to get things in but also out.I would highly recommend this product.

I now have 3 Pakkon 1 gallon wide mouth jars for making kombucha. I also bought extra lids. On 3 of the lids I used a 3 inch hole saw to cut a hole in the center of the lid. I can use the lids with the 3 inch hole to hold on a coffee filter during the kombucha brewing process. I find this easier than using a rubber band to secure the coffee filter.

Works with hot water and cold. Not much to say other than that. I use it for brewing the top off for my kombucha. I boil 12 cups of hot water let it cool a few minutes then put into this jar. Still very hot when I do so. I put a cheesecloth over the cover not the plastic cover or insert at first. After an hour or two it goes in the fridge. The next day when cold, I use the cover and brew the 4 cups of green tea and sugar. Pour the cold water in this container out, pour the hot 4 cups of top off into the mason jar then add the cold water back in. No problems for the past 5+ months.

Ordered two of these jars for brewing homemade Kombucha tea. The jars are perfect! Just the right size, thickness of glass. Glad they have lids...I don't use the lids for brewing Kombucha (cover the top with coffee filter and rubber band) but I like the lids and will be glad to have them if I use the jars for other things. I am getting ready to order two more of the jars (have friends who want my Kombucha tea!). These jars would be great for making sun tea as well. Great product, highly recommend!

I needed a gallon sized glass jar with a plastic lid for my SCOBY hotel and this one is perfect. It's fairly light weight so lifting and moving it around is easier than with a heavier gallon jar and it's dishwasher safe.

So far I have purchased this jar once, and gone back to reorder twice, I love it!It is the perfect size for a second ferment of my kombucha, or for a large batch of kefir.I am also using one of my three jars to ferment homemeade kimchi.The seal is perfect and the plastic lid is great because you can see when your food is beginning to get fizzy!I am planning to order an additional jar from this company to give me more flavors of kombucha to work with at once.

Excellent jar for kombucha. It's hard to believe that a jar of this size could be so light. It'a also inexpensive. I ordered it for the second time and am very happy with it.

Exactly what I wanted, perfect for use as cookie jars
