Ball 12-Count Wide Mouth Quart Jars with Lids and Bands

I have removed all plasticware from my kitchen to get rid of BPA and BPS. I have purchased mason jars in several different sizes to store food in the pantry and freezer. I have a Reverse Osmosis water filter which I use to fill the jars instead of using plastic bottles. If the lids ever rust I know I can buy replacements just like I used to do when I did my yearly canning. Otherwise for storage, I can use a square of plastic wrap. The shipping charges were excellent compared to other online sites and they arrived in just a few days, even on Saturdays. They are very well padded so nothing was broken. I recommend these as a replacement to everything plastic that you are currently using. They have from 8 oz to one gallon sizes available.

I saw the idea for salads on another website and decided to try it out with these jars. first, put your salad dressing in the jar; then add any substantial food item (carrots, celery, etc) so that they serve as a buffer between the salad dressing and the lettuce or greens which are added last. This prevents the lettuce from being soggy when you get around to eating it. The wide mouth jar is perfect for getting the ingredients out without a lot of fuss or bother/
