Glass Storage Jar with Wooden Lid, Silicone Seal, No Metal Parts

You open the sugar jar after a damp week and there are small orange specks on the surface. They did not come from the sugar. They came from the clip holding the lid down.

What Are the Key Features of This Rustproof Glass Jar With No Metal Parts?

• No metal anywhere on it - glass body, wooden lid, silicone ring. There is no clip, no bail arm and no screw band, so there is nothing that can corrode above the food and drop into it.
• Glass does not take a taste or a stain - coffee stored in it tastes of coffee, and turmeric that yellows a plastic lid in a month leaves the walls exactly as they were.
• A silicone ring, not a friction fit - it is what lets the jar hold jam, cut fruit or anything in syrup rather than only dry goods, and what keeps damp out of salt and sugar.
• 550 ml, with 750 ml and 950 ml on the same listing - this size is the spoon-measured shelf: ground coffee, loose tea, the cinnamon and cardamom you reach for daily.
• Wipe the wood, wash the glass - the body takes hot water and comes out dry; the lid takes a cloth and never a soak, because wood that swells stops seating on the ring.

Where Can You Use This Glass Jar With a Wooden Lid?

• On the kitchen worktop, for the things you measure by the spoon - ground coffee, loose tea, the good salt
• On a pantry shelf for the cinnamon and cardamom you actually use
• For wet goods as well as dry - jam, cut fruit, anything in syrup, which the silicone ring is what makes possible
• Packed for a picnic or given as a gift, both of which it is meant for

Why Choose a Jar With No Metal Parts Over One With a Steel Clamp?

• No metal to corrode over the food - the jar most kitchens own has a steel bail arm and clamp, and what rusts up there flakes down into the sugar.
• Hot water, not a hopeful wipe - the body takes heat, so it can be washed properly and put back on the shelf dry.

Details

Material & Build

• Body: glass - takes no taste and no stain, and takes hot water.
• Lid: wooden, with a silicone sealing ring - the gasket fitting is what keeps food from taking on damp or odour.
• Rustproof, because there is nothing on it to rust - no clip, no bail arm, no screw band, no metal component of any kind.
• The mouth is wide - a spoon goes in flat and comes out without knocking powder round the rim.

Dimensions

• Capacity on this page: 550 ml - the spoon-measured shelf rather than the cupful.
• Also listed at 750 ml and 950 ml - the same jar in two larger steps if a different staple needs one.
• Check your shelf against the photographs before you buy three.

Care

• The glass body washes in hot water and comes out dry.
• Wipe and dry the wooden lid and never stand it in water - wood that soaks swells and then no longer seats on the silicone.
