Is there a reason this would work better than a mason jar?

This is a tough question to answer. I'm not sure if the reason but a mason jar did not work as well for me. Perhaps my biggest annoyance though with the mason jar was that it was a challenge getting the herbs out even with a wide mouth jar. I think it's really the beauty if the design here. It's taller than a talk mason jar and the size is just right for most tall fresh herbs. Plus it's really easy to get a few sprigs out.

The height makes it better, plus you have a place on it to remind you to write down the date you stored them.

Not in my opinion. I had three of them, but replaced them with glass mason jars because the plastic began to discolor after a few months and it became cloudy after being washed in the top rack of the dishwasher. If you purchase tall mason jars, as I did, there will be ample room even for carrots and celery. I have never had a problem retrieving anything even though I am a 200 pound man with fairly large hands.

I would imagine that it is the same concept. The difference is the design and size of the keeper. I love mine, in fact, I have two, the one you are asking about and a Pampered Chef. Sometimes I have herbs in one and celery in the other. Hope this helps.

Yes, it would work great on mason jars. If you want removable, I would use the repositionable adhesive. Don't let the name mislead you, it sticks great until you want to take it off on purpose! If you have any problems getting all of the sticky off, Undo is the best product out there to remove glues.

I agree with the other responses, I don't think it would work either. There are only groves for the jars to rest in, not secured. If you put it on its side, the jars would end up resting on each other and most likely fall down.

If the mason jar has a flat side I would say yes, absolutely. Now I would not guarantee it would stick to mason jars that have the glass logo or uneven surface. But any flat surface should work. I used it to make labels on glass spice jars and it worked great. Still sticking now, its been a few months and they sit on the back of my stove with the heat and everything. I have not tried getting them wet though so that might be a problem.

Even if it could, you'd have a hard time getting the canning jar to fit inside. This container is not that tall. I'd say even a pint jar would be a close fit.

Try it with something that isn't important that you wouldn't waste like rice and that you could still save ... Let us know...if it is reusable ( I know the type of sauce jar you mean) - I think you should be able to use the canning lid accessory to suction it and not need the canister

Petet,I don't think so, but it wouldn't matter if it would fit a Mason jar or not, it would still LEAK. The weak link of the entire system is the TOP.

Yes, a standard (narrow mouth) mason jar works, though it may take a few tries to get it lined up right.

no, it isn't wide enough for Mason jars. I use it for tubes of paint and brushes.

I don't see why not. Maybe preheat the mason jar with some hot water first.

No. Not even close. Just tried it. :-) Besides, it best to store canning jars upright in case they break seal and leak. Best to build shelves.

I keep mine in canning jars -- you know, mason jars and the like. and those I keep in a dark cool place. With taht approach you can literally keep them for quite a few years. Personally, I'd avoid zip-loc's -- they're plastic and do drop volatiles, albeit at a very slow, non-dangerous rate, but even so -- and the jars even look cooler! :}

It's better to have a different container/can that fits to make it easier to clean. This will also keep your product from burning too.

I'ved tried and didn't have good results, it really was hit or miss as to whether or not you'd get a seal. I ended up coming back and buying the "normal" jar sealer. I wouldn't do it if I were you. I can't even seem to FIND wide mouth jars to use.

Yes. I would still recommend a clear-coat sealer for the bottom though. If you don't the bottom will wear significantly faster than the rest of the mason jar and most people don't typically draw on the bottom anyway.

I think it would work. We use it for ice cubes and we can get those into a wide-mouthed water bottle. I think the bottles have the same or slightly smaller openings than mason jars.
