They're fine for storing dried stuff but I didn't find the seal was good enough for bottling. You really do need to buy good quality for that (think Kilner etc).
Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?Comment

They may now but the ones I bought were a generic look a like which were nowhere near the same quality. Wasn't aware that IKEA sold any brand names but could well be out of date as don't go there unless there's something I really want. Looking at the link there's no evidence they're actual Kilner brand.Originally posted by Bigmallly View PostLast edited by Alison; 22-02-2015, 09:55 PM.

Kilner do not exist as a company, Rayware bought the patent and now produce the jar under the Kilner name.sigpic“Gorillas are very intelligent, but they don't have to be as delicate as chimps -- they can just smash open the termite nest,”

Glad it's not just me, if you're going to try and bottle food then a perfect seal is essential.Originally posted by greenishfing View Post

OK, didn't know that but it doesn't make any difference to the point I was making. Just because it looks a bit like something doesn't mean it's as good and a couple of us have experience indicating there is a problem. If people want to ignore hat then fine but it doesn't change the facts.Originally posted by Bigmallly View Post

Wilco was my next port of call, when I have time I will look at IKEA ones carefully but thanks for the heads up, would have bought a load saved me an expensive mistake especialy as the doubt was seconded, good stuff alround
probably do some ikea testing and use some for dried fruitComment

Clas Ohlsen also do some good jars. I use mine for making sloe port/gin or storing dehydrated food. I am not convinced the seal is fully airtight, but it's good enough for these uses.http://mudandgluts.com - growing fruit and veg in suburbiaComment
