4.0 out of 5 stars Just be careful, November 29, 2009

By

This review is from: Anchor Hocking 1-Gallon Heritage Hill Jar with Glass Lid (Kitchen)

I bought three of these canisters in the 1 gallon size and another one in a smaller size. I use them on my countertop for two kinds of flour and two kinds of sugar. I searched all over to find a canister that could hold an entire 5 lb. bag of flour, and the 1 gallon size does. These canisters look lovely on my counter.

Pros

Holds an entire bag of flour or sugar
Attractive
Mouth is wide enough to easily scoop with a measuring cup
Glass, not plastic (I don't like storing food in plastic if I can help it)
Inexpensive

Cons

No gasket; not airtight
Highly breakable

I would not have thought it was possible to break these very easily, as they seem to be very thick, but I was removing the lid from one of them, knocked it against the mouth of the canister, and sent tiny shards of glass spraying all over my counter and into my sugar. As it was impossible to tell which were grains of sugar and which were pieces of glass, I had to dump the whole thing. I know this was my mistake and not the fault of the product (it IS glass after all, which I am fully aware of) but just be extra careful not to knock the lid against the jar. I really wish they had plastic or rubber gaskets to make them airtight. I use up my flour and sugar quite quickly, but I can see how it might be an issue for someone who takes more than 2-3 weeks to use a full bag of flour. You could always lay a piece of plastic wrap over the opening before fitting the lid into place to keep things fresh.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do NOT use for food due to danger of GLASS CHIPS!, October 12, 2009

By 

RTPMason (Cary, NC United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Anchor Hocking 1-Gallon Heritage Hill Jar with Glass Lid (Kitchen)

I bought a set of these with one and two gallon containers. They do look good, and "seemed" like they would be great. However, anything stored in them IS SUBJECT to getting GLASS CHIPS in it with use. DO NOT STORE FOOD IN THESE!

I used these for cereals, rice, etc. Any little bump and the rims will chip glass into your food! You may not notice this until too late!

This happened unnoticed and I made rice one day (stored in one of these) and my family found glass chips in their rice!

It's just not worth it! I've used other ones that actually have a little rubber seal on the rim (These do not) and liked them until I saw another chip...

Now I'm using 100% stainless steel containers, with the stainless steel lids (with rubber seals) that have glass tops (like some cookware has) and never have to worry about my family's safety again.

5.0 out of 5 stars nice design, good price, May 9, 2010

This review is from: Anchor Hocking 1-Gallon Heritage Hill Jar with Glass Lid (Kitchen)

I've purchased 8 of these jars total, in the 2, 1 and 0.5 gallon sizes.

Pros:
1. Good, simple glass design.... stable, pretty hard to tip when filled with ingredient...... wide mouth that makes it easy for reaching in and scooping out
2. Glass material is so much more satisfying than plastic kitchen containers, which seem to be the norm
3. Cheap price, especially compared with other glass jars available from places like Sur la Table
4. Sturdy; unlike other reviewer I've never had a problem with these jars breaking in the past 2 years I've owned them. The glass is relatively thick and the lids are in fact sturdy and have survived being dropped a few times...

Cons:
1. Like another reviewer has noted, some of them come with cosmetic defects like bubbles, or an imbalanced lip
2. There's no seal/gasket.... they're useless for storing, for example, brown sugar
