I was searching for large glass jars to store bath salts when I discovered this Anchor Hocking 2-gallon container. It has proven to be perfect for the application. I highly recommend it for jobs that don't require a hermetic seal. The glass is totally clear, and the jars are made of what feels like heavy Pyrex...old world quality!

My two examples arrived in 2-days, very well packed. The service through Amazon was outstanding. The price was great too, the best I found on the web.

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.

These are the best for storage. I use them for potpourri and
just about everything.
I was disappointed, I ordered 4 and 2 arrived broken. No reflection
on the product. They were not packed with any bubblewrap.
Just in a box.
However this can be dangerous, and I did cut my hand on trying
to re wrap it for returning.

Huge glass jar! Fits all my flour and leaves plenty of space for a cool scoop!

Thanks to Amazon, I found this 2 gallon jar in my local Target store for $14 which saved me $11 in shipping.

I have been using it to brew kombucha as a continuous process - I siphon off a gallon for use and replace it with fresh, sugared black tea.

It is fantastic, works great - I can brew a gallon every couple of days that way. I keep in on top of my fridge to keep it warm during the cold winter months.

If you are going to brew kombucha, this is the way to go.

A great extra-large jar -- I use several of different sizes frequently but this size is a favorite. The lid is heavy and well-balanced. These jars need rubber gaskets for better sealing. Large, food-grade gaskets are hard to find. Gaskets would also minimize rim damage wear from the heavy lids. The inside diameter of this jar's lid beyond the lid-lip and before the lid-edge is 7 3/8", so if you're shopping for a gasket, you'll need one about this size. Attention Amazon: put a link on the product page for food-grade gaskets.

As a baker, this is the only way I would store my flour or sugar.

I love this jar! Exactly what I was looking for... I wanted one big enough to hold a decent amount of flour... so annoying to have to refill a cannister every time you make something... totally defeats the purpose. This holds a bit more that 10 pounds of all purpose flour, for reference sake. It is beautiful, and drug store vintage looking.

This is a fantastic jar and is well worth the money. It is heavy duty and will look great with any decor.

This glass jar is massive, and its perfect for brewing Kombucha tea, which is what I use it for. The only downside is that the lid doesn't create an airtight seal, but I don't use the lid anyway.
