880ml high clear glass jar food storage container

Uses of glass jars

880ml glass jars are versatile containers for homes, kitchens, and creative spaces due to their convenient size (equivalent to approximately 3-4 cups of standard water), safe materials (heat-resistant, recyclable, and chemical-free), and strong seals (paired with metal or silicone lids). Their specific uses can be categorized as follows, covering core needs such as practical storage, cooking aids, and creative renovations:

I. Kitchen Core: Food Storage and Preservation (Most Common Use)

Glass jars are odorless, moisture-proof, and light-proof (some are available in dark, light-resistant colors), maximizing the shelf life of ingredients. They are particularly suitable for storing foods that need to be protected from moisture and contamination, making them essential kitchen storage tools:

Dry Goods/Grains: Store grains such as rice, millet, red beans, and mung beans (880ml holds approximately 1.2 catties of rice) to prevent insects and moisture. They can also be used to store dried goods such as white fungus, black fungus, red dates, and goji berries. The transparent jars allow for a visual indication of remaining quantities, making restocking easy. Baking/Snacks: Store baking ingredients such as flour, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder (keeping out air to prevent clumping); or store biscuits, cookies, nuts (such as walnuts and almonds), and candies. Sealing them maintains their crispness and prevents moisture and softening.
Pickling/Fermenting: Used for making small portions of pickled foods, such as pickled cucumbers, pickled radishes, and pickled peppers (glass is heat-resistant and can be sterilized by scalding the jars first to ensure a leak-proof seal). It can also serve as a small fermentation container, such as for homemade yogurt (pour milk and culture medium, seal, and place in an incubator to ferment) or starter dough (the space inside the jar is sufficient for dough expansion, and the transparent jar allows for monitoring the fermentation progress).
Refrigerating Cooked Food/Leftovers: Replaces plastic containers for leftovers (such as braised pork and stir-fried vegetables) and braised dishes (such as braised eggs and braised dried tofu). Glass is cold-resistant and can be placed in the refrigerator without tainting flavors. It can also be placed directly in the microwave (with the metal lid removed) to avoid the risk of heat-induced precipitation in plastic.

II. Home Life: Storage and Organization (Improve Space Cleanliness)
In addition to the kitchen, 880ml glass jars can also be used in living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, and other areas, solving the problem of scattered small items. They combine practicality and aesthetics:
Storing Small Items at Home:
Living Room: Store small items such as cotton swabs, toothpicks, paper clips, and rubber bands on a coffee table or in a drawer to prevent them from scattering.
Bedroom: Store small accessories such as studs, earrings, and hairpins. The transparent jars make it easy to sort and can be used with dividers for categorized storage.
Bathroom: Store bath bombs, soap flakes, cotton pads, and makeup remover pads. They protect against moisture and avoid direct contact with countertops, minimizing contamination.
Packaging Cleaning Supplies: Dispense large bottles of dishwashing liquid, hand soap, and laundry detergent into glass jars. Use a pump head (make sure the jar opening fits). Place them near the kitchen sink or bathroom countertop for added convenience and a cleaner look than plastic bottles.

III. Food and Beverage Containers: Homemade Drinks and Portable Containers
The 880ml capacity is just enough for one-time drinking for 1-2 people, and the glass material is safe and non-toxic, making it suitable for making homemade healthy drinks or taking on the go:
Homemade Drink Containers:
Cold Brew: Fill tea leaves (such as green tea or oolong tea) with cold water and refrigerate for 4-6 hours to make cold brew tea. Alternatively, fill fruit (lemon, orange, berry) with sparkling water or honey to make fruit tea. Once sealed, it can be stored for 1-2 days.
Hot Drink Keeping: If the glass jar is made of heat-resistant material (such as borosilicate glass), it can be used to hold hot coffee, hot milk, or brown sugar ginger tea. Paired with a lid with a silicone seal, it maintains temperature for a short period of time (1-2 hours) and is healthier than plastic cups.
On the Go: After cleaning, it can be used to store homemade juice, yogurt (with cereal), salads (layering sauces and ingredients to prevent spoilage). Take it to the office or on a picnic, eco-friendly, and avoid wasting disposable containers.
