- Are these jars safe for water-bath canning?
- Yes. Half-gallon jars are approved for water-bath canning of high-acid foods such as fruit juices and whole tomatoes, not for low-acid foods or pressure canning.
- Do lids come with the jars?
- Wide-mouth jars take standard two-piece lids and bands. Check the pack contents, since some packs include lids and some do not.
- Can I use them for fermenting?
- Yes. The wide mouth fits fermentation weights and airlock lids, and the large volume suits big batches of kraut or pickles.
- Will they fit my canner?
- Measure first. The jars are tall, and a full load may not clear the rack and lid of smaller canners.
- Are they dishwasher safe?
- Yes, the jars are dishwasher safe. Wash lids by hand to keep the sealing compound in good shape.
- How much do they hold?
- Each jar holds 64 ounces, or half a gallon, roughly twice a quart jar.
