Yes, the 1 litre sizes in particular
though the lady in Sainsbury's said that both those and the 0.5 l ones had broken.
The smaller ones 250ml ? ones seem to be fine.
I did break the sprung lid ones too though
Honestly, I'm really just so vexed at them. I expected to buy jars that I could use kind of forever sort of thing, and I'm actually better just washing out the ones that come with tomato sauces in them. The Mason jars, I mean.
Caveat emptor, and check them carefully when you get them home too.
If I were generally clumsy or destructive of things, I'd say it was me, but I'm not. I use fine china and glassware on a daily basis, and I'm still using stuff that belonged to g.aunts and grandmothers, so I'm pretty sure it's the quality of the jar that's at fault.
I want to know how they can justify charging so much for a jar when every single commercial company that uses jars sells them with the contents for less than an empty jar costs ?
I'm seriously going to try canning using the mason jars since I found that company in Wales who supply new lids for them.....and those are cheaper than the Kilner ones too
If that's what the commercial companies are using, and they won't want to face any accusations of food poisoning, it can't be a bad thing.
