Review on Mason Jar Lids With Straw Hole, Bamboo Lids For Beer Can Glass, CNVOILA ECO Reusable Bamboo Mason Jar Lids For Regular Mouth Mason Jar With 2 Reusable Stainless Steel Straw by Cody Howard

Revainrating 2 out of 5

they make everything taste horrible

I'm reviewing the closed lids, without the straw. The ones that are used in reusable glass jars to replace metal lids, for food storage.I got them to fit salsa jars that I was reusing that couldn't fit normal Ball lids because the threads were too different.I don't understand all the 5 star reviews. The lids work, yes. The lids fit, yes. But if you use them on jars to store FOOD, like seeds, nuts, flour, whatever, they make the food taste disgusting. These lids ruined pumpkin seeds, cashews, sunflower seeds, and macadamia nuts - about $25 worth altogether - by making everything taste like treated bamboo, before I realized what the lids were doing and stopped using them. It doesn't matter how thoroughly you wash the lids, everything stored in the jars topped with these lids will taste like that: nasty, bitter, treated bamboo.2 stars instead of 1 because at least you could use the lids for non-food items, like storing spare screws, bolts, plastic pieces, anything that wasn't going to be used in food. That's what I'll need to use them for so as to not waste them.In the meantime, I have to repurchase a bunch of nuts and seeds!

Pros
  • Ordered this specifically for some boba jars I made, they worked perfectly!
Cons
  • The lid may have a strong bamboo odor that may transfer to the drink
