Tulip Jars 1 Liter - Large Sourdough Starter Jars with Wide Mouth, Glass Lids and Keep Fresh Covers - Suitable for Canning and Storage (2 Pack)

These jars are beautiful and work great for my sourdough starter or homemade pickles. They have a plastic lid and a glass lid with a ring seal. It is easy to clean and is a joy to look at.

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.

Both the tulip and the straight versions of these Weck jars are absolutely made for sourdough starters. The wide mouth and lack of ridges make it perfect for scraping down the sides of the jar. They are a breeze to clean. The lid can be made airtight by using the rubber gasket and fastening it all with metal clips. It can also be used with just the glass lid, which allows for pressure to escape when fermenting a sourdough starter. There is plenty of room for your starter to grow and be happy in this 1-liter jar. The only drawback is that these jars are a bit pricy on Amazon. If you're able to get them in person, you could definitely get a better deal for your money. Thankfully, mine arrived undamaged after shipping.

These jars are great for starter - I use them every day. So easy to clean and dry. Going to order another set with the straight sides to see if they are easier to handle.

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.

Nice heavy easy to clean for my sour dough starter.

I love these jars. I have been using them for my starter since they have enough room to work around in

Nice and big. Brought for someone and they love it.

Son lo que estaba buscando, de muy buenos materiales!

This jar came recommended for keeping sourdough starters. It really makes using sourdough so easy. First of all the mouth is big so it is easy to feed and scoop out! It is also big enough to give room for the sourdough to expand without overflow. I love it! But not so big that it takes up so much room in our fridge.

Well made, perfect size and wide mouth for storing, feeding and stirring sourdough starter.

Great size and quality for sour dough bread starter! I have 4 of these jars and rotate them every few days. Comes out clean in the dishwasher. Have to make sure to wipe as much flour as you can though to protect the pipes.

Excellent for making my Sourdough Starter, perfect size!
