Ball Wide Mouth Mason Jars vs Superb Canning Quart Jars 12 Pack

Both are 12-packs of quart glass canning jars with lids and bands, so the choice comes down to mouth size and track record. The Ball jars are wide mouth, which is easier to fill, empty and clean, and they carry a large, long-standing rating base. The Superb Canning jars are regular mouth with a smaller but very high rating, and owners praise thick glass and reliable seals. For most canners the Ball set is the safer pick; choose the Superb set if you prefer regular mouth jars and no embossing for labeling.

• Choose the Ball Wide Mouth if you want easier filling and cleaning, a wide-mouth opening for whole fruits and vegetables, and a brand with a deep track record in canning.
• Choose the Quart Canning Jars if you want regular mouth jars with smooth sides for labeling and owners report thick, sturdy glass and strong seals.
