Daitouge 1.5 Gallon Glass Canisters with Airtight Lids, 2 Pack, 5.9" Wide Mouth

The opening measures 5.9 inches, wide enough to lower a hand inside and lift pickled vegetables out whole rather than fishing about with tongs.

Pour nothing boiling straight in. The maker asks that the jar be warmed through with tepid water first, since a sudden change of temperature will crack it.

Each holds a gallon and a half, so a pair takes a sack of rice or a season of preserves. Empty, the two together come to 12.67 lb — worth weighing up before they go on a top shelf.

The glass is thickened rather than standard jar stock, and being glass it will not take on the smell of whatever it held last.

Two labels and a pen come with the set. The round profile suits canning and pickling as readily as pasta and cereal.

• Two 1.5 gallon round jars
• 5.9" wide mouth
• Airtight lids, thickened clear glass
• Two labels and one pen supplied
• Warm the jar before adding hot liquid
• 12.67 lb for the pair, empty
