are these jars made for canning or just for storage

I would imagine just for storage, although I'm not very familiar with the canning process... Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I bought three of these years ago to store fruit that I had dehydrated. They are attractive and with the wide mouth, it's easy to access the contents. In my mind, it all depends on whether you need them to be reasonably airtight. These jars are not. By the way, there is a small circular gasket in the lid that keeps it tight and prevents rattling (they don't screw on). That gasket came off on one of my three jars so it really is not usable anymore. Again, if it needs to be airtight, it is not. I hope this helps.

They are very good to use as canisters. I would not put them in the freezer.

There are couple of seller list under this listing. I cannot guaranteed theirs but the jars we sell have special BPA free lids and you can use them for foods. They can also be waterbath for the jams.

I wouldn't recommend the use of these jars for spice storage. They are made to go in the 'fridge to store yogurt, so I couldn't guarantee they would be adequately airtight for spices. I would recommend something with a vacuum seal.

No. It has a very wide opening and a special lid with a rubber type seal. It is not meant for canning.

I am not sure what you mean by "canning". Foodsaver makes a jar attachment for regular and wide-mouth canning jars, but you cannot replace the canning process with this machine. It is only safe to vacuum-seal dry items in jars if you aren't going to process the jars in a water bath. Rice, whole grains such as wheat berries, beans, legumes, pasta, nuts, chocolate, freeze-dried foods, herbs, whole spices and many other dry food types will last much longer when vacuum-sealed in GLASS instead of plastic. Some whole grains will last years.

Depends how long you need to store them but I used half and pressure canned canned them.

These jars are tall and skinny they work great for canning asparagus or beans anything that is longer than average quart jar . I buy them mostly for there cool style factor because I give them as gifts.

Yes, these are food preserving/canning jars, and several sizes are sold on Amazon. However, Fresh Preserving (Ball, Jardin, Kerr) ships to your state, and so does Amazon. The term "Mason" jar is a generic now. It used to be an actual brand and was the first widely-used one. It's like people who say they need a kleenex--Kleenex is a top-level brand of facial tissue which became ubiquitous. Other companies now manufacture the product, and shouldn't be called "kleenex." While these are lovely, and I buy them, regular Ball/Kerr jars are less expensive.

Just drinking quality glass. In other words, they are nice drinking glasses, they are NOT meant for canning, as they will not take the extreme heat and freezing that canning jars will.

they were intendedfor canning, but they will work as a regular sealing lid. lid needs to be fairly snug, but do not over tightenas it tends to deform gasket. also if jar seal edge and gasket are completely dry this may cause leakage. the gasket needs to slide on seal edge of jar so seal pressure. the only problems i have found is over tightening and dry on dry. one other thing is if it is not a canning style jar it may not seal, no matter what you do.

I have purchased two jars so far on two separate occasions and both had air tight seals of the older type (IMHO) which has the paper over foil like the old jars of instant coffee once had. As long as the seals aren't broken and the lids are on tight, you should be able to store them for quite awhile. I wouldn't feel a need to repackage them if I wanted to store them for future use.

They stack fine in my canning pantry although many of the jars I gave away with wild blackberry jelly in them so I haven't many left.So its not like I have 2 dozen jars stacked up.

These jars isnt for homemade jam, its only for drinking cold drunks out of them. On the bottom of the jar it says not to put anything hot in it.

Yes, definitely.. any canning jar would work. Especially if you have a Food Saver Vacuum sealer with jar sealing accessory for longer term storage. I use canning jars to store dry goods all the time....like Macaroni, Home Grown Herbs, dehydrated fruits and vegi's...

THEY ARE NOT AIRTIGHT!!!! Good for crafts or buttons I guess? The plastic seal between the metal cap and the jar is not designed to be airtight seal.
