Bormioli, 203420, mason jar with swing top, original Fido, 0.75 L

This jar is absolutely perfect for what I wanted. I was looking for something small enough to store but big enough to hold enough of my product. I was looking for something with a clasp lid to keep out excessive moisture and keep in beautiful aromas and this does it perfectly taking me to new levels of feel good when I decide to take a plunge. Recommended for all.Day 2: I found this jar and fell in love.

I didn’t use the jar for Storing food instead I used it to create a terrarium and it worked great the seal it perfect to keep the moisture in the jar so it can keep being recycled

I bought this jar for making a terrarium, rather than a kitchen use! As seen in the pic, I am very pleased with it. It is sturdy and pretty good air sealing lid.

These clip top jars are not only colossal (5 litres capacity) but are clearly exceptionally well made. They close with a satisfying seal, the mechanism is stainless steel, and the glass is thick, strong and clearly labelled as dishwasher safe which is brilliant.An extraordinary product at a brilliant price. I'm so pleased, I'm ordering a surplus which I am sure I will find a use for.Can't rate them highly enough!

I've purchased this jar twice now and generally like it. I purchased it for fermentation (apple cider vinegar). It's sufficiently voluminous and perfectly transparent so there is no guessing as to what is happening in the jar. I also like that the lid can be removed so that a cheese cloth can be put in its place.However, it's not ideal (and that's no fault of the maker or the jar) for apple cider vinegar making. Due to the volume of the jar it is impossible to keep apples submerged (due to their lack of density and solidity) in water as the fermentation process unfolds.The largesse of the body of the jar relative to its mouth also means you can only fit a certain size (too small) weight into the jar which can't cover enough of the surface area of the body of the jar to remain on the top of the ferment.Even if you fill the jar to its brim (not advisable as this causes spillage from the bubbling, wets the cheese cloth and exposes the very top of the contents of the jar [apples in my case] to air and bacteria), typical glass weights are too heavy and dense and eventually sink through the apples all the way through to the bottom.So, unfortunately unless you can get a custom weight made from wood (say oak, for example), I wouldn't recommend this jar for apple cider vinegar fermentation.

Nice and big jar. The only issue is with the quality of the wire and the rubber on the lip. The wire corodes easily and the rubber is not as thick as I would expect. As such if you don't secure the closing mechanism it will not be air-tight. It does the job though.

I bought this for flour.It is a great size and airtight. The only thing is that the mouth is not that wide. You will get your small cup/ scoop in but nothing larger. What a pity! I have it sitting on a shelf so I just lift the lid. It is very heavy with over 2 kgs of flour housed and a little bit of room left. Still glad I purchased it. Great to have a sturdy large airtight jar. Travelled well and delivered intact. I think good value for money You will be able to replace the rubber seal for a longer life.

Fortunately, and unlike some reviewers, it arrived fully intact. That did surprise me slightly because it could have been better protected in the cardboard delivery box.Not checked it is 5 litre capacity but it looks about right. Fairly thick glass and quite durable, proven by it's unbroken delivery! The glass lid secures well with the included rubber sealing ring.Possibly a bit pricey. In spite of that happy with the product.
