FORJARS Premium Mason Jars 16 oz 12-Pack vs Ball Wide Mouth Pint Mason Jars, 12 Pack

Buy the FORJARS set if you want thicker glass and a smoother interior for canning, fermenting and heavy daily use. Buy the Ball jars if you want the proven, widely available standard and the largest base of owner feedback. Both are 16 oz wide-mouth 12-packs with two-piece lids, and both are dishwasher, freezer and microwave friendly. The FORJARS jars claim 50% thicker glass and a recessed design that keeps the inside smooth; Ball's edge is 125 years of canning track record and a much larger review pool.

• Choose the FORJARS Premium Mason Jars if you pressure-can or ferment often and want heavier glass with a smooth interior and date-marking lids.
• Choose the Ball wide-mouth pint jars if you want the standard canning jar that replacement lids and bands are made for and that most canners already know.
