Weck Tulip Jars 1 Liter - Large Sour Dough Starter Jars with Wide Mouth - Suitable for Canning and Storage - 2 with Glass Lids

Alright, fellow sourdough parents and anyone who appreciates beautiful glass containers, let me tell you about my recent upgrade: the Weck Tulip Jars (1 Liter, set of 4). For a while, my sourdough starter, lovingly named "Bubbles," lived in a less-than-glamorous repurposed jar. It was functional, sure, but it lacked... panache. Bubbles deserved better. I deserved a more aesthetically pleasing fermentation station.I saw these Weck jars online and was immediately smitten. The tulip shape is adorable, the glass looks thick and sturdy, and those little glass lids with the rubber seals and metal clips? So classic! They look like they belong in a European pantry straight out of a fairytale. My plastic containers felt a pang of jealousy.When these arrived, they felt just as good as they looked. Solid, heavy glass. The wide mouth is fantastic for feeding Bubbles (less mess!) and for cleaning (my whole hand actually fits inside!). The separate lid, rubber gasket, and clips are easy to assemble and provide a satisfyingly airtight seal. It's like giving your contents a little glass vault.Bubbles took to its new home immediately. It seems happier, more active, and frankly, more sophisticated. The clear glass lets me easily monitor its bubbling progress, which is both fascinating and slightly hypnotic. I've also used these jars for storing other things – leftover soup, overnight oats, even just displaying colorful dried beans. They make everything look instantly more organized and charming. It's like my pantry got a mini-makeover.The versatility is a huge plus. Canning, storage, fermentation, or just looking pretty on a shelf – these jars can do it all. They're dishwasher safe (hallelujah!), and the thick glass makes them feel incredibly durable. I feel confident that these will be housing future generations of sourdough starters (and maybe even some actual canned goods, if I ever get that ambitious).If you're a sourdough enthusiast, appreciate high-quality glass containers, or just want to bring a touch of classic European charm and organization to your kitchen, these Weck Tulip Jars are a fantastic choice. They're beautiful, practical, and have made my fermentation station (and my pantry) significantly more delightful. I'm thoroughly impressed with these charming jars.

Great jars and perfect size so versatile and very easy to get stuff in and out of them. They are stackable and very easy to clean. Well made thick glass with lids, rubber seals and clamps are perfect for any use. Love the tulip design

I wanted these to use to feed the starter and have a second clean jar to switch at every feeding while also having enough room for the starter to rise without the risk of a spillage. When feeding I use it without the seal. I have used it to store strawberries and they lasted almost a week without starting to spoil. It has a great seal. It also fits a whole diced pineapple (minus a couple of slices that were eaten while dicing). The plastic lids are great. I have a set from a different brand and you can tell the difference in the color not as much in the thickness. It has a great size and would buy again. Very useful!

I bought this set of two Weck jars to use for my sourdough starter. Each week, I take out 50-75 grams of starter to feed in one jar, marked with a green rubberband to indicate the starting level, and use for my next loaf of bread. I put the discard in the other jar (with a purple rubber band around it to mark the level) to use in biscuits, waffles, English muffins, etc throughout the week. It’s a great system to keep my sourdough well-fed and maintained.The jars have nice, wide mouths, which makes it easy to get the starter in and out. They’re thick, sturdy glass that won’t break if you bump them into something or tap a spoon against the edge. I use the glass lid and rubber gasket without the clips, so the gasses released by my starter don’t build up pressure inside the jar.It is exactly what I needed, and I’m glad I went with this option, rather than some of the plastic options I saw labeled as sourdough starter jars. Both jars (my active and my discard) live on the top shelf in my refrigerator, since I usually don’t bake bread more than once a week, and don’t want to have to feed/discard every day. I usually feed Friday evening and leave the active jar out overnight to double, then bake with it on Saturday.

These jars are amazing for maintaining my sourdough starter. The wide mouth makes it easy to clean. They are the highest quality and a great value for the money. I highly recommend them

These Weck jars are super nice arrived perfectly packaged with no cracks or damage. I bought them specifically for making sourdough starter, and they work perfectly! They’re also airtight, making them great for storing other ingredients too. Well made and versatile definitely worth the purchase!

Absolutely love these for my sourdough starter. Not only are they the perfect size, but they also are so easy to clean. The ridges on regular mason jars are so deep but these ones aren’t which makes it so convenient come washing time. Another plus is being able to make it airtight or just place the lid on it while waiting for it to double in size for baking. If you’re looking for a jar to store your starter, just buy these. 100% worth the money.

I love them. It is so much easier to make sour dough starter with these jars. They are the perfect height for stirring the starter. Cleaning them is easier, too. The wide mouth makes adding flour to the starter a no spills job. I will buy 2 more. The only thing l don’t like is the top closure. It should be easier to use.
