Ball Regular Mouth Mason Jars 16 oz vs Superb Canning Quart Jars 12 Pack

Buy the Ball pint jars if you want a proven name, wide-mouth-free regular lids that are easy to find, and a size that suits salsa, jams and single servings. Buy the Superb quart jars if you can tomatoes, green beans or soups in family-sized batches and want thick, thermal-shock-resistant glass made in the USA. Ball has the longer track record and far more owner reviews; Superb scores slightly higher on its smaller review base and offers twice the capacity per jar.

• Choose the Ball Regular Mouth pint jars if you preserve in small batches, gift jams and salsas, or want lids and bands you can replace at any hardware store.
• Choose the Superb quart jars if you can whole tomatoes, beans or soups in bulk and want heavy, US-made glass built for pressure canning.
