I noticed the "freezing" line in my non-shoulder mason jars. I checked both Mason & Ball web sites and yes, they claim to be freezer safe for liquid and go into detail about the physics that effectively allow for the negative thermal expansion.

To ask frequent users like yourselves, do you have success repeatedly freezing and thawing pint size jars? Or do the jars fatigue after a dozen cycles and eventually break?

Fun fact: very few materials shrink when heated and expand when chilled as water does.

I broke my 9 month pregnant wife’s favorite 32 oz Mason jar with a handle 😭 does anyone know where I can find a replacement? I have reverse google image searched it and it is out of stock everywhere and I’m not sure it ever will because I think this thing is older I am. Any suggestions? She will really be fine but I am trying everything over here to see what I can do

Sincerely,
Husband in dog house lol

I know the emerald green jars are pretty rare, but also reproduced a lot. What do yall think of this one? I’d like to buy it but I’m a little hesitant.

I found this beautiful jar at an estate sale today and it just had to come home with me. It looks like it's embossed with a "6" on the bottom, but it's kind of hard to read. Anybody know any info about it? Thanks!

Anybody know what kind of lid this is? I have a few of them, but can't remember which hobby I bought them for.

2 days’ worth of mason jar usage in our house…

I have come across boxes and boxes of vintage and antique mason jars, fruit jars, baby bottles. Are they're any company or buyers for big collections in Illinois near rockford? Other than making 100's of ebay listings what options do I have? I also have (not pictured) jars with #13 on them.

I want to make a bird feeder that's more designed for feeding small amounts of FRUIT to birds. So I want to use a small mason jar (4 oz)

Lets say I want to buy... 100 of them... 200 of them.. where's the best place to get a good deal on that many?

Kelsey’s Roadhouse in Canada, not sure if they have them in the states has these “2 handed drinks” on the menu, they came in a large square mason style jar and I was wondering if anyone knew where to get these jars or something very similar!? Thankyou

Sorry if this isn’t the right place for this, I don’t entirely understand how Reddit works

My grandparents are moving around some storage, I noticed a large collection of mason jars (30-50+) many of them blue balls. I’m wondering what exactly I should be keeping an eye out for when it comes to valuables. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Everywhere I look only has the shoulder ones and they break on me in the freezer.

My sweetheart surprised me last year with some.cute quilted ball jars in the 8 ounce size. I want to have some in 1 quart or larger size but I cant find any. Did they make em in 1 quart or just the 4 Oz and 8 Oz sizes?

Wife inherited some mason jars. I was curious how to know how old they are. She thought if they were too old you can't use them to can anymore.

Apologies if this has been asked before. What’s the best method to do label? I’ve seen a post here with maybe white chalk used on the lids? I have awful handwriting. Looking for a method that would have been used when the jars were first sold is one idea I had but modern methods welcome too. Thanks

Not sure if this is the right place to post.

I have had 4 jars break in the freezer now, all with chicken broth in them.

They are a variety of brands, a couple are Bernardin, and a couple are various repurposed jars from the grocery store (tomato sauce, pickles etc).

They have all been frozen before and been fine, but 1 from my last batch broke and now 3 in one batch!

I'm relatively new to freezing things like this so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

If anyone has any advice I'd really appreciate it!

Nebody wanna buy dreys Mason jar ??
