ZENS Airtight Glass Canisters Set of 4 - Kitchen Storage Jars with Clear Lids & Silicone Seal - Wide Mouth Food Containers for Snacks, Pasta, Flour, Sugar (27oz, 55oz, 65.5oz) - Perfect for Pantry Organization & Meal Prep

I want to preface this by saying that I own 56 of these containers (across almost all of the sizes they come in except the very smallest size) so I won't leave a review on every separate purchase/size but I hope this all-over review helps anyone looking at these for their pantry/home.Let's start with the first thing most people notice...PRICE. I'm not going to lie...these are crazy expensive okay? There's just no doubt about it. Especially if you are building a full pantry of storage containers like I did. But you have to consider them an investment in that unless you are breaking them by tossing them on the ground or not taking precautions like you would with all glass items when moving, you'll never have to replace them like you would plastic containers. And if you don't have money burning a hole in your pocket or saved up for this, you can always buy them over time - the seller has quantity limits that don't allow you to buy crazy quantities too so that may help.QUALITY: The glass itself is reasonably thick and the seal on the lids works amazingly. I haven't had any problems with tearing or wearing down. I personally don't put the lids in the washer and wouldn't recommend it but the bases can go in just fine for the more tough cleaning. The brand is etched into the bottom of the containers which is nice but something to consider if you don't like that sort of thing.PREPARATION: These all came in super protected shipping boxes with forms in them to keep them in place so they wouldn't break in transit which I appreciated a ton. There are also NO STICKERS! For anyone that buys organizational containers you know the dreaded sticker residue battles that can happen. These don't come with sticker labels anywhere and that saves so much time!AESTHETICS: For me, I searched for a really long time to find containers that I would be happy with overall but ultimately the style of these containers were why I bought them over other containers. In addition to them being durable, food safe and easy to clean, these are completely clear. Clear bases, clear lids, clear-ish seal. From my perspective that meant that no matter where I live, how I display them/what I use them for, or what room they go into they will perfectly match the space every time. They don't just look like they are exclusively kitchen containers.-------------------------So if you've made it this far and think these may be for you I wanted to note a couple things from my buying experience as well.1. Shipping was extremely fast and efficient2. No problems with the seller or with receiving any of my packages (so far..I have one left to be delivered)3. Packaging is great and sturdy4. Each box will come with a little pamphlet and a note - The pamphlet for the most part is not in English if you care about that - I recycled all of mine. The note gives a coupon code for future purchases but when I tried to use it, it didn't work. Not a big deal for me but wanted to mention it.5. The seller DOES have quantity limits for individual transactions. Depending on what size you're looking for that means you may have to make multiple purchases.SIZING!!!!!!!!!6. The sizing may confuse the heck out of you if you're anything like me. Don't just trust the images/descriptions that go by fluid oz! I would say the "ideal for" lists in the images are pretty accurate but you REALLY want to pay attention when buying these and if you're concerned even a little - size up!10 fl oz containers - These fit small amounts of loose tea. I use them for superfood powders. Less than 4oz of dry powder! The seal on all sizes goes reasonably down from the top of the base so it takes up space. I don't own the ones listed at 8oz but can't even imagine what you'd store in those.15 fl oz/450ml - Again I use these for super food powders but I can fit 5oz of dry powder in these.23.6oz/700ml - These I use for grains/seeds/lentils/loose pasta. I wouldn't store anything incredibly bulky in these. The 10/15/23.6 oz containers are all the same diameter and just change in height for sizing.27oz/37oz - This is where the containers get wider in diameter and shorter in height. I use both of these for pastas/nuts..things that are slightly more bulky but don't come in giant packages. I can fit a 16oz bag of superfood powder in the 27oz or a 1lb bag of cacao nibs in the 37 with room. I also store baking stuff like sugars/specialty flours in these just fine, though I wouldn't try to store big bags of general flour in any of these containers (all sizes) as the mouths are narrow and may not fit a fill measuring cup for scooping.55oz/65.5oz - The diameter on the two largest sizes is the same as the 27/37 but they're the tallest available containers. I've seen some reviews get upset because of images of tall pasta in the 55...you CANNOT fit standard box spaghetti in the 55..you'll want the 65 if you're trying to store spaghetti pasta in these. I fit 16oz of goji berries in the 55 with a little room..again you're going to want to pay close attention to the size of what you're storing because bulky items don't store like powders that take up all of the space. The 65 is great for pastas, oats, trail mixes etc.-------------------------------------All in all I LOVE these containers and don't regret buying them at all. I hope this helped!Another reviewer mentioned that the lids are not glass and were made of plastic. I have 14 of these and the lids and containers are all glass. The only part that is silicone is the seal itself, which for obvious reasons cannot ever be glass.I reckon they may have bought these inadvertently from a third party seller if their lids were not glass. I intend to buy more soon, so if the manufacturer has changed the product, I will post an update.UPDATE: I have been using these jars for two years now and I came back here to say that I still love them! The seals are still tight. The company did say back in 2018 that they were going to release a size to fit spaghetti. That hasn't eventuated, but for all other pasta sizes and shapes these jars are great! I hand wash mine. Highly recommended! Giving this five stars because I have been looking for all glass jars for forever!Love that the seal is silicone and love the cylindrical shape and minimalistic lid, so all round it's the safest, cleanest most modern glass jar around.The glass is quite thin but feels very strong and durable. Rest assured, that this is a very high quality glass jar. I see that some reviewers have complained that the silicone seal pops off - this does on occasion happen for me but is due to the tightly fitted lid which is ok by me. Simply push it back on - it’s not a big deal in my opinion.My only critique is that the largest isn't tall enough to hold spaghetti with the lid on, and the lid needs to be pretty much all the way down so the silicone seal engages, so the actual height of the jar is significantly reduced by the lid. I actually love the jar so much that I am going to look for shorter spaghetti, lol. I will add a note about brands on this review if I find any spaghetti brands that fit this jar.I have photographed the jar with the pasta varieties I have in my pantry currently to help assess the capacity.Please see my photos for the capacity of this jar. As you will see the spaghetti is too tall, some 1lb bags of pasta fit with plenty of room to spare, others not so well (I had to remove a few pieces of the Rigatoni to make the lid fit, which was annoying). I have some shapes that are larger than Rigatoni which I didn't even bother trying. The Costco brand of organic pasta (available in a pack of 4 bags, 2 different shapes) fits well, for those of you who shop at Costco.I have purchased two of the largest jars so far, and will add to my collection over time.I have decided to limit my pasta shapes to the really necessary shapes(for me) cause I have a bad habit of buying cool shapes and special bronze die cut pastas and now have a whole drawerful of various shapes and sizes but they are really not all necessary - especially if I want to store them in $25 jars! For now I am trying to narrow it down to: Rigatoni, Orzo, Ditalini, Spaghetti, Penne, Ramen/Soba/Udon, Orechiette for example. No doubt I will add to that narrow selection over time (my husband is Italian, after all) but I certainly don't need 25 different types of pasta on hand. Especially not with the price of these jars, and I am a bit OCD about pantry storage (admittedly, more than a bit) so I'm going to have to have all of my pasta in these jars eventually.Anyhow, back to the jar, I love it despite its size limitations, but I would really, really love a larger and taller version so that I could fit a whole lb of any shape or size. If the manufacturer produced one that was larger and taller than 1650ml then in my opinion, this would be the best pasta and spaghetti jar on the market!If this review is helpful to you please click the helpful button. I spend a lot of time on my reviews because I am a very hard to please shopper and do a lot of research on the items I purchase. I love to promote awesome products (and warn others of the not-so-awesome) mostly because there is so much crap out there :)NEWSFLASH: Evidently all spaghetti, linguine etc is the same length. I didn't know it was so standardized but no matter which brand I looked at (and I checked out every brand I could find) it was all the same. So unfortunately there is no spaghetti that fits in this jar. I have had to purchase different jars for my spaghetti etc and now am kinda sorry I purchased this Zens jar one for my other pasta shapes, cause the other jars I did buy for my spaghetti also makes jars that would have fit all of my other shapes of pasta too and then they all would have matched. So if you are like me and have aspirations of having a gorgeous dream pantry where everything matches, and you need spaghetti jars, then until Zens makes a larger, taller jar you might want to look elsewhere for a matching set, despite how lovely these jars are. If a spaghetti jar isn't THAT important to you ('cause I freely admit to having some kinda kitchen storage obsession), then rest assured these Zens jars are great.Note that it DOES fit ramen, somen, udon noodles (as shown in my photo)I was looking for and easy open and close jar for dog treats. This glass canister works perfectly and it keep the treats fresh. I washed it on the top rack of the dishwasher with no problems.My dogs are on a "no people food" diet. I keep a jar of small dog treats in my kitchen for when I am preparing meals to share with them. I have tried several different types of containers but this one is awesome. Keeps the treats nice and fresh, the lid is super easy to get on and off and it is nice looking.I needed an excellent coffee canister. I was keeping some moderately expensive coffee and would be in it daily. I'm a retired chemical & civil engineer and reviewed the seal designs of other manufacturers before selecting this one. The forces achieved when closing these jars having a substantial silicone seal would block the air for several months. However, I would be in these jars daily and the seal would need to withstand this torture too. The long, thick wiper design has lasted more than a year, exhibiting no signs of wear! I wash the seals on no particular schedule, just when they feel "dirty". I'm impressed...good job!Great quality (and packaging)! I've bought these in every size!I like the size of the jars and that I can store juices, pepper sauce and other condiments. With this batch, I found it difficult to get the lid off of one of the jars and for one of the others, the lid is still stuck (I am afraid the jar will crack if I try to pry it loose).Disappointed..I bought this for spaghetti and fettuccine pasta but thyre too short..it will fit half of the small pack where the pasta is slanting otherwise it close up..if u put more the like full it won't close..I was so mad.I got these to put my reusable makeup wipes in and I love it for that! They do not fit q-tips but that’s not what I wanted them for anyways. You put but many different things in them!These are good quality glass jars and are well made and sturdy. But the lids don't close completely. The rubber seal protrudes out partially above the rim after closing lid. This makes the jar not airtight. I got a few pairs of these glass jars and this issue occurs in multiple pieces. I shall be returning them.
