Ball 64oz Wide-Mouth Mason Jars 5-Pack — Half-Gallon Glass Jars with Airtight Lids for Canning & Food Storage

These are Ball 64oz (half-gallon) wide-mouth glass mason jars sold as a 5-pack, each with a screw band and an airtight lid for food storage, brewing, and preserving.

Built from USDA food-grade, heat-resistant glass and manufactured in the USA, this set of five Ball wide-mouth jars is sized for large-batch canning, fermenting, and pantry organization. The half-gallon capacity gives you room for whole fruits, pickles, kombucha starters, cold-brew concentrates, and bulk dry goods, while the two-piece lid system (flat lid plus band) seals tightly using a BPA-free gasket to help minimize leaks and protect contents from air and contaminants.

How do these jars perform for home canning and preservation?

The 64oz wide mouth shape fits standard canning tools and allows easy packing of large items like peaches, cucumbers, and full pickles. The glass tolerates hot water processing and the two-piece lids create a closing seal suitable for many home preservation methods. Always follow safe canning procedures and processing times for your recipe.

• Half-gallon capacity holds large quantities or whole produce.
• Wide mouth eases filling, tamping, and utensil access.
• Heat-resistant, food-grade glass compatible with hot-water canning.
• Two-piece lids (flat + band) provide a secure seal for storage.

Can I use these jars for fermentation and brewing?

Yes — the jars’ wide mouths and heat resistant glass make them handy for brewing kombucha, water kefir, small-batch cider, and other fermented beverages. The supplied lids contain a grommet-style gasket to help limit air exchange and reduce the risk of spillage during short-term fermentation, though some fermenters prefer airlocks for long or active fermentations.

• Wide opening supports culture growth and easy stirring.
• BPA-free lid gaskets reduce corrosion and minimize leaks.
• Glass construction won’t absorb flavors or odors.
• Works well for secondary fermenting, storing starters, and cold brews.

How durable and safe are Ball 64oz jars for everyday use?

Ball manufactures these jars in the USA from thick, food-safe glass designed for repeated use. The lids are BPA-free and the bands resist rusting, giving you a reliable set for refrigerator storage, shelf organization, and countertop use. Handle with care to avoid impact chips or cracks and inspect lids and bands regularly for integrity.

• Manufactured in the USA from USDA-certified food-grade glass.
• BPA-free lids and corrosion-resistant bands for longevity.
• Washable and reusable; ideal for food storage and gifts.
• Avoid sudden temperature shocks to prevent glass stress.

What practical sizes and uses should I expect from a 64oz jar?

A half-gallon jar is versatile: it stores bulk pantry staples, holds preserved fruits and vegetables, and serves as a vessel for beverages or kombucha. It’s also useful as a decorative container, a centerpiece with layered ingredients for gifting, or a kitchen organization tool for flour, grains, and legumes.

• Perfect for whole or large-cut produce, pickles, and sauces.
• Great for dry goods: flour, sugar, rice, and beans.
• Handy for beverage batches like iced tea or cold brew.
• Works as a gift-ready jar for meal- or cookie-in-a-jar projects.
