I own 32
I originally ordered one set of these jars for Strawberry Freezer Jam. They worked great. I then purchased 7 more sets of jars. Four sets I used exclusively for freezer canning and the remaining four sets I use for storing food in the refrigerator. After less than a year, all except 2 lids have developed cracks. The crack starts at the tiny divot in the center of the lid then expands outward. I have contacted the manufacturer without result. I prefer these type of jars for freezer canning but because of poor quality will return to using glass jars.
Lids crack in the center - don't buy these
These freezer jars have a very nice design - I love the concept of the screw on lid, etc. Unfortunately, all of the lids on mine are developing cracks in the center. Of course, now they are useless. What a waste of money!
Great freezer jars
I own about 40 of these jars, been using them for over 2 years and have learn that I can't find a better freezer jar than this one. They have screw on lid and bottoms of jars sit down on top of another jar lid and more or less lock in place which keeps them from falling over. Read where people having problems with jar breaking of cracking. First about the only way to break them would be from a severe fall or no using common sense not to over load the jars. When you put something in a jar like this and they freeze, they need a little expansion room inside the jar. If figure that is why they are cracking. Pesonally I have never had one break or crack. They are mad by Ball the same company that makes canning jars so they have to be pretty good. But they are even better than that, they are great. Also made in 2 other sizes.
