What is Reddit's opinion of Ball Wide-Mouth Plastic Storage Caps, 8-Count?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

> Milk frother ... cost 6-20 bucks on amazon.

$2.79 at Ikea. Will it last a lifetime? Who knows! At that price though, you can buy 7 for the price of one off Amazon. :)

> Glass tupperware

We replaced all our Tupperware (cheap knock-off brand) years ago with the Pyrex glass containers with rubber lids. My only complaint is that most of the lids have developed cracks. Replacement lids are inexpensive, but I'd rather not be replacing them every couple years.

My new favorite though? Wide-mouth glass jars with plastic lids. The pint jars fit perfectly in my lunchbox-sized cooler I take to work, and they're much more leak-proof than the Pyrex containers.

What are y'all using for containers? I've been using Ball Wide Mouth—Pint jars with plastic lids (the two part lids annoy me), but I find they leak. Suggestions, or do I just need to tighten more?

I have glass containers similar to the Anchor Hocking, but from a competing brand. I agree, they're very easy to clean and it's nice being able to see what's inside without opening them.

I also use glass wide mouth pint canning jars with plastic lids. They fit in my lunch box better than the containers above.

I'd recommend these or something like them. No need to do modified lids. Just keep them 1/4 to 1/2 turn loose. No holes or polyfill necessary: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000SSN3L2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Dude I just made some for like $20 for 8 lids and still have a ton left over I can make. All you need is a drill to make the holes in the lid and boom professional made jars. Picture of the lid. http://imgur.com/gallery/wqLtyFS

I also try to minimize leaving the house. I like DIY projects so I made airlocks using plastic mason jar lids.

You can also get the entire mason jar fermenting lids pre-fab ready to go

I got silicone seals to make them airtight.

I drilled 9/16" holes and inserted plastic grommets.

Then I use 3 piece acrylic airlocks. I think that 3piece makes it easier to clean and acrylic is sturdier than plastic but that's just me. They make plastic ones.

I found this to be pretty cost-effective especially since I don't already own any reCAP lids. It was an easy-peasy project. Just be sure to clamp the lids to something otherwise you can't drill proper holes.

I am super happy with them; they work great and I didn't have to leave the house ;)

Edited because I hit "save" prematurely

I use these lids on quart jars for sous vide yogurt with great success: https://www.amazon.com/Ball-Wide-Mouth-Plastic-Storage-8-Count/dp/B000SSN3L2

Just keep them above the water line like this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26442386/Yogurt%20with%20Plastic%20lids.jpg

Hand (finger) tighten regular lids for creme brule and submerge like this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26442386/SVCB.jpg

These lids are handy

Just an FYI, canning rings will rust if you leave them in the fridge. Not that it's a huge deal, but always a pain. These things are fantastic: http://www.amazon.com/Ball-Wide-Mouth-Plastic-Storage-8-Count/dp/B000SSN3L2
