Some canning jars are made to be can and freeze jars and are great for storing nuts, grains, and spices in the freezer without have to worry about freezer burn.<<<

Glass beats plastic, anytime.

I attempt to use it for all my storage and leftovers, and never got real hooked on plastic products.

Yes I use plastic, but never in the microwave and only when it does the job, better than something else.

I said for years that plastic should not be in the microwave, and at last heard Dr. Bill Wattenberg say”no plastic in the microwave, when it is heated, it releases some of its petrochemical ingredients in your food.” He also says “Never put a plastic baby bottle in the microwave”.

Dr. Bill is a scientist, not a medical doctor.

I have to fight my family when they come to visit, to keep them from throwing out my glass jars, they know that I will never can again and think they should go........I disagree.

They want to throw out CANNING jars?!?! Argh!

Good for you for holding your ground. Maybe they’ll see the sense in that some day.
