FORJARS Premium Mason Jars 16 oz 12-Pack vs Ball Regular Mouth Quart Mason Jars, 12-Pack

Buy the FORJARS 16 oz set if you can or ferment in small batches and want jars built to take pressure canning without chipping. Buy the Ball quart jars if you want the standard size for sauces, produce and dry goods, backed by a brand with decades of canning history. Reviewers of the FORJARS set single out the thick glass and no breakage in the pressure canner; Ball owners rate the SureTight seal and familiar quart size highly across thousands of ratings. The trade-off is size and glass thickness against a lower per-jar capacity and a wider mouth that takes more headspace.

• Choose the FORJARS 16 oz set if you pressure can, ferment or gift in small portions and want thicker, lead-tested glass with a smooth interior.
• Choose the Ball quart jars if you need the standard 32 oz size for sauces, produce, dry storage or crafting and want the long-established SureTight lid system.
