- Is the lid airtight?
- No. It is a simple glass lid that rests on the jar rather than a gasketed clamp lid, so it keeps dust out but is not meant for long-term airtight storage.
- Can these jars go in the dishwasher?
- Yes. The glass is dishwasher safe. Hand washing the lid is the safer habit if you want it to last.
- What can I store in them?
- Dry goods work best: flour, sugar, rice, pasta, cereal and snacks. They are less suited to liquids or to anything that needs a strong seal.
- How much does each jar hold?
- About one gallon per jar, which is roughly the size of a large bag of flour or sugar.
- How do they compare with plastic containers?
- Glass will not stain or hold odors and is easy to clean, but it is heavier and can break. Plastic is lighter and cheaper but less durable over time.
- Are both jars the same size?
- Yes. The set is two matching one-gallon jars with lids.
- Where is the Anchor Hocking Clear Goode Sundry Glass Jar with Lid 2 Pack cheapest?
- At Walmart, for $34.97, as of our latest check.
