Someone left me unattended in the spice department and I ended up with a few extra spices that didn't fit. I thought it would be nice to have matching spice jars instead of just robbing whatever I had on hand. fanfic I know! My grandma would be disappointed in me for all the amazing jellies and pill boxes sitting around in the trash can. I'm sorry Grandma, your kitchen was a lot bigger than mine, and I just don't have room to store the custom margarine and mason jars you were given before the Carter administration. I knew I didn't want glasses because I would often drop them. and I needed glasses of at least 7 ounces. I also wanted a convenient screw cap that I could scoop or pour from. After googling around I settled on these. They're a generous 9 ounces, allowing me to fit condiments in any cup. This is great when I'm making large batches of something that calls for an absurd amount of cinnamon. These jars also have reversible flip-top lids, one side for shaking and the other for measuring spoons. Lids are also easy to attach and remove. This part is very good. Unfortunately, the lids are leaking, which I noticed when washing. It's a little disappointing, but I can always attach an oxygen scavenging thing to anything I don't use often. The jars come with a cardboard seal covering the opening. I'm sure this is more for people who mix their own spices to sell or give away as it's not a real seal and you have to remove it to use the shaker and part of the lid. I've also found that the lids fit my old spice jars perfectly, and the old lids fit these jars. Not that it really matters, but it's okay if I lose the lid or accidentally put the jar in the dishwasher. The lids are dishwasher safe, but the jars themselves are not. This is mainly due to the fact that they warp in the heat. My old plastic spice jars are the same ones that I can drop the lids on the top shelf or in the cutlery basket, but the jars have to be hand washed. It's a pain to wash all the glasses by hand, especially when they're waiting to dry, but I set up a folding table and let them dry overnight and everything was fine. I made my own labels with Avery Clear Matte Varnish. Address labels I had on hand and they worked great. My spice jars look more professional, which would probably look better if I wasn't using old Sodastream CO2 boxes as replacements on the shelf. Now I just wanted enough spice bottles - fewer, but 16 bottles wasn't enough. Don't get me wrong, 16 bottles is perfect for a herb and spice starter cabinet and would have been enough in a past life. Now I live in my kitchen so I have a lot of glasses. However, I was sure that one pack would be enough to cover the missing condiments. What I didn't anticipate was my sudden need to replace all the glasses in my closet. You see my old matching jars were round with white lids and these are square with black lids. I know that's a lame explanation, but I thought it would be nice if the spice cabinet looked more professional than a messy collection of containers from different eras. So I bought two more sets. Then another sentence. And now I'm ready to buy my fifth set of glasses because I swear THIS TIME is the last batch of bottles I need. I mean, I also need four more and a spice shopping list, which of course I don't have yet. I can stop buying spices anytime, I swear. I just don't want to. Thank you for these bottles. You're doing a pretty good job.
