Actually, another question---Digestive Wellness carries a 2 qt glass jar with lid. Has anyone used it in the EuroCuisine 2 qt yogurt maker? With success?

A one quart jar would certainly fit, but I'm not sure about the 1/2 gallon jar. It may be too tall. I don't have any to test it out, but hopefully someone else might be able to help you better. (I will try and get my hands on a half gallon jar, if no one else has answered I will revise my response when I get a jar.)

Without having my hands on a 1/2 gallon jar, I would say not. Think you would be safe using your one quarts though.

I purchased a half gallon jar to test this out. It's too tall by about an inch.

Hi Bridget. Yes, but be sure to order the "Wide Mouth" vacuum lids, because half gallon size Mason jars only come with that size opening.Regards, Tom Cannon.

As long as the lid size is the same then yes you can use quart size mason jars.

Here's an answer that I posted to a similar question:I've used a 2-qt Ball canning jar, which is too tall, but if you cover the Ball jar with a lid, then put a plastic baggie over the whole thing, it works! Alternatively, I've used a barrel-type pickle jar, which fits but only makes 46 oz. at a time. I actually brought the base of the machine with me to the grocery store, to find a pickle jar that would definitely fit.

Yes. I have no problems with the funnel fitting into small medium or large mason jars.

Yes. We use the 2 quart mason jars for milk all the time, both regular and wide mouth. The Recap fits well, so we no longer transfer to the traditional milk bottles.

I've brought this canner with my pint jar pickles to a rolling boil then quieted it down to a simmer. It's deep enough to cover the jars, have the rolling boil going and not boil over--for me. I've not used it with quart jars, however...

I bought this with a 35qt pot, but have a smaller 8qt pot too. It has trouble bringing the 35qt pot to a full boil if it is full, so it hasnt been great with qt jars. I have used it with pint jars and the 35qt pot and that seems to work well(shorter jars require less overall liquid). When using it with my 8qt pot it works fine for canning, but it is to short a pot for qt jars.

I have both the quart and the half gallon size. The quart jug would fit in the door, but the half gallon fits on most any shelf as it's only 7.5" tall.

I would think so, it will hold 6 or 8 quart jars. Not sure if half gallon jars will fit properly in the metal rack that comes with it for pint and quart jars. Personally, I would not buy this item again. It's too big, too heavy, will not fit properly on a large size burner. It has no handles because when filled with water it is so heavy, handles would break off.

I tried it on the standard mason jars I have and it's smaller in diameter - but I'm no expert on Mason jars - the jars I tried are about 3" openings whereas the opening on the grinder is about 2.25" (58mm) ID. So no match to the inventory of jars I have!

I do not think it will. I believe Ball is the only company that makes a 1 gallon jar. They are usually decorative jars with larger lids. I used a 1/2 gallon mason jar and it works great. Good luck to you and I hopes this helps you.

All Mason, Kerr, and Ball jars have one of two standard sized tops. Either regular or wide-mouth. This one fits the regular size.

It fits wide-mouth jars. I just now tried it in two different Ball brand regular-mouth jars. On the pint jar, it did fit inside the mouth, but very snuggly. But, on the quart jar, it would not go into the mouth of the jar at all (apparently different thickness of glass). I haven't used the funnel since I bought it, but, for me, it will NOT be appropriate for regular-mouth jars because the too-close fit will make it difficult and sloppy to use.

All glass jars of this type sold as Ball or Kerr are made by Jarden and all are Mason jars. However, this line does not have "Perfect Mason" on the side. Look for their Heritage Edition. The new 125th Anniversary edition, gallon size, has "Perfect Mason" on it also. I just looked at the anniversary edition and it only says "Mason" on the side as far as I can see online. Its a nice jar. I may buy one.
