Ball Plastic 8-Ounce Freezer Jars, 5 Pack Review

This is one of those rare products that is very cheap and yet well-made. I like to make fresh juice for drinking later. Since juice doesn't stay fresh long, you want to seal it really well, preferably in a canning jar with an airtight lid. Since canning jars are rather heavy to carry around, I tried these. Heck, for pocket change, I'll try anything.
They're perfect! While the little lid looks flimsy, it actually provides such a solid seal that I can bounce it around in my purse and it does not leak. What's more, my homemade juice tastes like new when I crack it open, better than a glass jar. They are made from durable #5 plastic, which is one of the re-usable types least likely to leach bad stuff into your beverage. After I drink my juice, I seal them back up so they don't dry up and that makes it a breeze to clean it when I get home by just running a quick sponge over it. I've used them for juice, salad dressing, yogurt, sauces... nothing has stained the plastic yet. I haven't tried them in a microwave or dishwasher; I don't know if I would because I'd hate for the lid to warp.

Ball Freezer Jars are simple to use and stackable. Jars feature a fill line, so there is no need to measure. They are dishwasher safe and won't collapse or leak like plastic bags. Jars are stackable and lock together so they won't fall over in the freezer. Stain resistant, so are great for jams, jellies, salsa, sauce and much, much more.Includes five jars.

Ball Jar Collection Elite Stainless-Steel 21-Quart Waterbath Canner with Rack and Glass Lid Review

I stumbled upon this when searching for a "flat bottom" water bath canner for making dill pickles...it was recommended on a blog somewhere. I hesitated since I had never heard of "Jarden" brand, but then realized it was made by "Ball" of the mason jar fame.
The pot is a heavy bottom bot that sits flat on my glass cooktop. I checked the owners manual for my range and it stated I could can on top of it as long as the pot was flat and it did not extend too far over the edge of the burner. CHECK YOUR MANUAL to be certain, or call the company...not worth it to screw up the sensors on your stove, or damage the material.
The see-through glass is really handy for visual monitoring and it's well made. Stunning stainless steel takes us out of the stone age in water bath canners. I am very pleased.

Capture the sweet taste of summer for enjoyment all year long with the help of this durable and elegant canner. Measuring approximately 17-2/5 by 13 by 9-2/3 inches, the spacious unit provides a 21-quart capacity that can accommodate up to seven quart-size jars at a time for large-batch processing. In addition to preserving fresh fruits and vegetables, the pot also comes in handy for making homemade soup, hearty stews, boiling ears of corn, and more. The pot includes a corrosion-resistant chrome-plated rack, which keeps jars up off the bottom of the pot and offers a smart design that prevents small-size jars from falling through the rungs.
With a gleaming finish that will nicely compliment any kitchen decor, the canner features rugged 18/10 stainless-steel construction with a triple-layer base consisting of a thick aluminum core fused between stainless steel for fast, efficient, and evenly distributed heat (no hot spots). In addition, the unit's double-riveted, loop side handles come encased in silicone for a safe, comfortable grip when transporting, and its tempered-glass lid with steam vents allows for convenient viewing of boiling water to ensure proper processing. Designed to last for generations, the canner can be safely used on all stove tops (unlike waffle-bottom canners), and it cleans up easily by hand.
