What size jars would I need for rices, etc?
The wide-mouth quart size is my favorite jar size for storing pantry staples like rice, flour, sugar, and more. The wide-mouth openings are really great for easy access to stored goods.
This might be a stupid question, but has anyone ever transferred mayo from a plastic container to a glass mason jar? And is it safe to do so?
This is not a stupid question at all. Yes, you can absolutely put mayonnaise in a glass mason jar, and it’s safe to do so. In fact, it may be a good idea, since plastic containers can release chemicals into foods. I try to use glass containers for food storage as much as possible.
