Fido Square Jaw with Blue Lid, 33-3/4-Ounce, 33.75 Ounce, Clear

I ordered this to make CDS (CD dissolved in H2O). It's just the right size to hold 300 ml of filtered or distilled water and a shot glass to which equal parts of the A and B solution to make CD are added (5 ml each). If you're looking for a jar for this purpose, this is the one. How I use this jar for making CDS: Fill the jar with 300 ml of filtered or distilled water. Set the shot glass with the CD solution inside and shut the lid. Store in a dark cupboard. Wait 24 hours and remove the shot glass. Save the CD mixture to another container and repeat the process by adding the shot glass with the same amount of activated CD one more time. Wait 24 hours. Remove the shot glass, and close the jar. The remaining product should be a CDS of ~ 3000 ppm (test paper can confirm). Do not inhale fumes and prepare CD and open the CDS container outside in fresh air as a precaution. In other words, follow all enclosed instructions with your CD kit (also sold on Amazon). The cleansing/maintenance amount that I use is 10 ml CDS in 1 liter of H2O taken in 10 doses throughout the day. This is the Andreas Kalcker method that I use and not intended as supplement advice for anyone else. CDS is good for sterilizing water, cutting boards, counters, washing produce, etc. Don't expose to any sunlight or to interior lights for very long for best results. Store in a cool dark place. This is a great prep item for emergencies and this jar is the BEST way I've found to make it. This jar is the perfect size for my purposes. It is very thick and sturdy and has a thick rubber gasket that makes it air-tight and holds in the CD gas for conversion to CDS. I recommend. My rating: FIVE STARS.

GORGEOUS flip-top glass jar of lovely quality made in Italy--for a super-low price. Honestly, am floored. This beautiful jar could easily sell for twice the price in a container store or a chi chi home goods store. We use these large flip-top jars to store our homemade dried persimmon chips. They show off the beauty of what's inside. But it's also a pleasure to use such fine jars. We really should buy more--at this price, they're a steal. Also, the company that sells them is a small business and they work hard to use only recycled materials--the boxes and the packaging. Everything old-school and very cool. More sellers like this, PLEASE!

Excellent sugar container, keeps airtight and keeps sugar fresh.

This high-quality Italian-made jar is just beautiful. I bought it to store small amounts of natural yeast starter, and it is just the right size. It may not be big enough for some starters, though. Since I don't think I'll want more than 6 cups of starter at any one time, I think it will be just right for my purposes. There are other Bormioli jars which are bigger that may be better suited for some starters. I've uploaded some pictures, and one of them does show the 11" danish dough whisk. That does *not* mean the whisk comes with the jar; you're buying *only* the jar when you purchase this listing. I showed it with the whisk, though, to address the one reviewer who said it doesn't fit. Perhaps she was using the 14" danish dough whisk instead, because you can clearly see that my 11" whisk fits down into the jar without issue. I'll use it to stir the starter. When the lid is clasped shut, the jar is a little over 8 1/2" tall. It's a 4" square jar (with a round lid), but the clasp adds about 1 1/2" to one dimension; so realistically, it's 4" by about 5 1/2". The opening of the jar is just under 3 1/2" (ID). Plenty big enough to accommodate the 11" danish dough mixer, but definitely not big enough for the large whisk. The extremely tight-fitting lid with its gasket makes this jar suitable for storing any product that needs protection from bugs or moisture. For starters, the lid should be left ajar during certain times, to allow air in and gases to escape. It could be dangerous to close it up tightly when the gases need released. The jar comes "unassembled", as it were; you have to put the gasket on after you wash the jar. It's in the bottom of the jar during shipment and the lid is protected by a piece of paper with the Bormioli logo. The sticker on the lid is one that removes very easily and doesn't leave any sticky residue. You peel that off and wash and dry the jar and gasket and put the gasket on the lid. The metal mechanism wasn't centered, but it's movable so I just turned it a bit and it lined up to the center. Very nice product, and I'm sure I'll be buying more (I have 6 of the 2 liter jars for storing homemade dry baking mixes and they're great, too). I like that they're all square, since they take up less space that way. I'm a little bummed that I had to pay 3 dollars more than what it's selling for now, but it's okay. I think it's worth the money I paid since it is a sturdy jar that will undoubtedly last many years.

1st jar received was shattered & in paper bag. The 2nd replacement jar was received in box & perfect condition. I love these jars & have 2. Good quality & look nice.

Glass had a scratch in it - surprised. Nice quality otherwise.

Works well for intended purpose. Dishwasher safe remember to remove the lid before putting it in the dishwasher.

Useful pantry item

Really nice jar. Made pickles in it. Seems like the seal is nice and tight and the overall construction is well made.

I use this jar to make kefir and it works well for that. The only thing that isn't my favorite is how easy the lid wire mechanism comes apart

Top Quality

Estos frascos son geniales. Muy bien hechos y el vidrio bastante resistente. Lo uso para hacer Kefir de agua y está de lujo. No por algo es una marca con años de experiencia.
