Reviews for Choice 32 oz. Quart Regular Mouth Glass Canning / Mason Jar with Silver Metal Lid and Band - 12/Case

Reluctantly decided to try and ordered the Choice brand of jars as the popular brand was out of stock. We do alot of preserves and need quality glass and no fail lids-as not all lids are equal. We learned that all lids are not equal the hard way. I am biased and preferred the popular canning jar and lids, and was surprised and pleased the Choice brand matched the performance of the popular canning jar! Also the jars were well packaged and not one was damaged. Am ordering again.

Upon receiving these jars, the first thing I noticed is that there is zero packing material. That being said, about 2-3 jars in each case are chipped or cracked. Also just visual inspection of the non damaged ones shows the many imperfections these jars have. I absolutely will not use these to can anything. The likelihood of them breaking/exploading in my canner is too high and the cost of the products are too high to risk it. I’m not even in a position to return them because I would have to pay $ for the return shipping plus the 30% restock fee. This is on a $ order. It’s not worth the gas to take it to the fedex location to ship it back. This is by far the worst experience shopping for products for my business I’ve ever had. Will not be buying anything from WebstaurantStore ever again and I will tell everyone that asks to steer clear.

Simply the best deal there is for bulk mason jars. I'll never buy from anywhere else.

I bought last year and was not happy with the fact that the lids do not hold a seal well but chalked it up as a loss and possibly a bad batch of lids. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, ordered again because apparently Ball (my go to brand) has discontinued the smooth sided jars according to WebstaurantStore, and ordered about 50 cases (3 sizes) of these jars. Once again, bad seal! Out of 3 dozen jars, I lost seal on 3 pints and 2 half pints! I have a small jam/jelly business so this is NOT good! Now I have ordered enough Ball lids and rings to fit the jars I just bought so I’m out even more money to ensure that my customers don’t get spoiled food. Sad! I will say however, that customer service was great when I called about 2 cases missing a jar in each as well as a case being shattered when arrived.

Do not buy these jars they are cheap, broken and poorly packaged.

I’m a jam/jelly/fruit sauce/fruit butter maker. I average 20-24 dozen jars yearly. I read the reviews and decided to take a chance. I’m SO glad I did. Here is my comparison of Ball/Kerr to Choice jars: Ball half pint jar - Weight 180g - Glass 4mm thick Choice half pint jar - Weight 182g - Glass 4mm thick Filled a room temp jar with water at 165 degrees - no breakage from temperature change. Simmered jar filled with water for 15 minutes (water bath). Jar didn’t break, and lid sealed securely as it cooled. Lids and rings for both brands fit both jars.

These jars crack very easily- I've never had a Ball or Kerr jar crack the way these do when canning.

These work great with a reasonable price. Good quality glass jars. Lids and rings seal properly fist time. Arrived with no breakage, and shipping was very fast.

The product itself is fine. Kinda hard to mess up a glass jar. But the shipping/handling was absolutely ridiculous. I ordered 25 cases (lots of jelly to be made). First, $ for shipping? Really? For that price, they should be encased in bubble wrap and handled like the delicate glass they are. Nope. None of the shipping boxes were marked FRAGILE or GLASS. They were overpacked without any filler material, so the individual cases tumbled around in the box. When I talked to customer service when replacing the cases that arrived broken, I specifically asked to have the boxes marked FRAGILE/GLASS. This did not happen. Whoever you have packing your boxes for shipping needs to be fired. There is no excuse for a business like this to not have the appropriate level of handling for their items. I don't plan on purchasing from this company again.

I love these jars and use them for my canning business. The issue I have is that they've changed the packaging on shipments. I never had a broken jar this spring. Now, when I order cases, I have 1-3 broken jars in at least half the cases. The packaging provides to protection to them. It's frustrating.

The jars are a savings vs and are smooth to fit our product label. They work well

These glass jars are built well and durable. The lids seal well and do not leak. They are priced at a fair price and served me well. I would purchase them again.

These canning jars are great. Worked better than the ones I get in the stores.

These jars have been a lifesaver for our business! We had always had to rely on whatever brand that was both affordable and available, but about a couple years ago when all the supply-chain disruptions began, we were still able to buy bulk quantities of these jars at very reasonable prices. As far as the quality, if you've gone through the tens of thousands of jars that we do, the different brands are all very similar. If we allow the jars to cool naturally & undisturbed for at least 24 hours after the canning process, we never have any issues with them. Additionally, besides being very affordable, the company packages their jars very well and always ship very quickly.

My go to for mason jars! They are sturdy and came in perfect condition. Love the lids, easy to seal.

Jars break, do not buy!

I love the smooth sided tapered half-pint jars for canning as my labels fit well and the product is attractively displayed without distortion due to the clear, smooth glass. What I don't like is that many of the jars from a recent order have been poorly made with extra shards of glass on the rim, misshapen jars, broken threads, and so many have not sealed properly, resulting in reprocessing or discarding batches. I have to carefully inspect each jar and lid prior to use and hope for the best that the lids will seal after processing. It seems the amount of rubber on the lids is thinner than in the past as well.

what can i say, its a jar, it works. its cheaper than the ball jars. only thing is my friends miss the designs the ball jars have

Absolutely amazing. Every jar sealed. Customer for life!!! I’ve been asked to teach canning classes at the University of Missouri. I will have my own class!!! I’m so excited & will highly recommend web restaurant.

I like that the jars have smooth sides. If you are not using them for actual canning purposes, I'm sure they work very well. Of the first case I opened, two of the jars were chipped and unusable. Two did not seal properly and two more cracked in the canner. You get what you pay for.

Very nice and durable jar

I currently use these for my kiddie extreme shakes. They are the perfect serving size for our littlest guests. They always come intact as well. I have never received any broken ones.

These 8 ounce jars are great for my small kimchi that I make and sell. The smooth sides are great, they have a nice seal and are well packaged to prevent breakage during shipping. Highly recommend as the price is good too.

I ordered cases of these last last year and in almost every box there were broken or chipped jars. The rest of them are full of air bubbles, oval instead of round, or have multiple seams. I wouldn't trust them with the heat of a water bath, let alone a pressure canner. Thankfully customer service worked with me towards an acceptable resolution, but I wouldn't recommend these at all. Oh, and the lids/rings are garbage. They start to rust as soon as you get them wet. I tried to use them for other jars.

The jars are always shipped very quickly which is very nice. Last year I had no broken ones and this year so far I have had 3 broken out of 5 dozen. The jars seal like they should almost 100 percent of the time so overall it works for me. I don't know if it would make a difference if the box was labeled "glass" or "fragile".

Prompt shipping and a great product for canning!

These jars have been great. They can very well in the hot bath canning method. The lids have sealed well. I was at first skeptical about them sealing because whenever I have used the name brand canning jars and lids they seal (pop) almost immediately. These take a little longer but they have sealed just fine. I especially love the smooth sides. It makes it easier to add labels. Pricing is great as well and shipping is quick and reasonable. I just placed another order.

These Jars were perfect for my Jam business: Zero failure rate, affordable, and smooth to put my labels on. I couldn't be happier. This was the second time ordering from Webstaurant. There was a tiny mixup on our very sizable second order and there was one case missing when the batch arrived. Customer service was kind, quick and refunded the missing case with ease. Thanks Webstaurant!!!

I found my new favorite jar! The seal rate, smooth side, and price are why. I've gone through four cases so far and 100% had seal. The smooth sides ensure my labels adhere and look sharp. At $ cents a jar (Plus membership price), the price is on point for my cottage food business needs. Thank you, Webstaurant Store, for a great product that I'll be sure to order again!

These jars are wonderful and cost efficient. I like the smooth jars for a flat-fitting label, also makes the labels easier to remove. Lids seal great. Bands, while not as smooth to go on as the Ball brand, work just fine.

good product, will use again in the future.

I love how these are smooth mason jars so that the label will lay flat.

Heavy duty jars. We are using for honey. I also have done numerous batches of jams and jellies and they work just fine. No issues with lid seals at all. All jars sealed from water bath. Highly recommend.

Great product in all sizes!

Great product and price! Just wish product would be packed better when shipped. When order arrives we usually have broken cases, not many though. I will say customer service always makes it right and reships the replacement broken cases with provided photos, TY customer service!

Great Value, i've had no issues with sealing.

Very happy with these jars so far! Solid glass jars! Excited to use these for my canning business.
