Sturdy glassware with glass lids. The generic seals are easily replacable, and will be available for decades to come. They can be put in the microwave or freezer (without the seal), and obviously don’t leech any microplastics or hormones into your food.
Produced in Germany since 1900.
Traditionally these are used for making jam, but the larger ones also make for good storage containers for cereal, pasta, flour and sugar etc

Funnily enough I mostly saw them for preserving vegetables, mostly cucumbers. They’re kind of making a comeback the last few years.
Always preferred Mason/Ball to Weck because the Weck rubber rims can be finicky and little metal clips tend to go missing.
The Ball two-piece-lid is pretty rad.
The one Weck container I have the rubber rim went bad pretty quickly on and the replacement doesn’t fit quite right so it leaks if you shake it at all.
I’m gonna also side on the twist on 2 piece lid designs are better.

i thought they were broke…
in german there is a synonym for “to preserve”, it’s “einWECKen”
I Pesonally prefer the products of Bormioli Rocco over Weck, partly because they are cheaper, but also i prefer the mechanism. At least where i live you can buy these in every Supermarket, and the squared shape makes storing stuff in a drawer way easier.
Didn’t know them, thanks!

I saw a lot of generic brand of this in the store. Do you find a adventage of buying the brand name ones?
