What are the differences between the different jar types? 4 sided, twister and wild side jars. If you only had one, which would be the best choice?

If I could only choose one, it would be the 4 side. I use that one the most, but I like them all and use them all most days.

I would say Wild Side jar because you can do anything with it. However, the twister jar is very useful for making sauces, nut butters, ice cream. I have both the Wild Side and Twister jars.

I have 3 jars. If I could only have 1, I would get the wildside (or 4 side jar) because they are the biggest so I can do anything. I tend to use the twister jar when I'm making a smoothie for just me but I could make it in the bigger one and if it's already out, I don't switch them. I don't use the mini twister at all but then I don't make tiny amounts of anything.

Sure Jell is a very good choice if you are going to can jams and jellies. Clear jel will work but you have to have a perfect measure for jams and jellies. I have never used clear jel but have read where it is like corn starch and is used for thickening soups, gravies, also for baking. If you are going to can jams and jellies, Sure jell is in small packages and is already measured out for perfect batches of jams and jellies.

I don't know whether there is a difference. I bought based on size and this is rather large.... much larger than the two-quart jars I'm used to see used for canning fruit.

Well, that's hard to explain! Is is a "softer" square than a normal square jar. Corners are not as defined as a typical square jar.I don't know if this is public or not, if you would like to send me your email I would be happy to forward you pix of mine. I LOVE them all.

Why would you need a lifter to take out all the jars at one time. I have been burned more than once by jars slipping off the rack while lifting. Personally, I prefer to take the jars out individually with a jar lifter than trying to take all of them out at once.

If you are referring to the airlock lids that employ a regular metal canning band, the difference is that this lid has the screwing action of the band and the sealing action of the flat cap all combined into one. With the added benefit of not getting rusty or tarnished. If you are referring to the flip-top style glass jars with the wire bail, the difference would be that these can be used with any wide mouth canning jar, and the "Primal Pickler" style jar we carry is all glass and includes the jar and lid all in one, but obviously is more expensive and costs more to ship. I hope this helps!

Well, just about any kind of jar containing food products. I use it for pickle jars, green olive jars, and most any kind of glass jar with a screw-on lid. The main idea is that most of these products are vacuum packed. The opener when used, breaks the seal allowing air to enter the jar so you can more easily open the jar with your hands. I hope this helps.

I have the tall jar. Even though it holds 64 ozs vs. the 48 oz smaller jar, I am considering buying the short jar because the tall one collects and traps ground particles beneath the blades. I believe that the short jar is wider at the base so this is less likely to occur.

Good Morning from Butler,mn:In response to your question regarding the pint jar as an additional jar...The answer is no. As I have tried both the regular & wide mouth jars. To no avail.I hope this answers your curiosity.

I have the non-tilting Premier Wonder, 1.5L. I use it to make peanut butter, chocolate and even pulverize blackberries to make jam without getting seeds stuck in our teeth. Made about 10 batches of each so far, but you should add dry stuff very slowly, preferably partially liquefied.

Yep, these jars all come with 2 separate labels on them,.one as seen in the photo and another on the back of the jar listing the ingredients. I also printed custom labels, but had to trim the.edges off the original label since it was an odd size. A printed label will do the trick though and give you a custom look. We did this for our engagement party favors and it was a hit. Best.of luck to you!

The lid is round, the jar is a rounded square. The lids are all interchangeable, they fit all the different sizes of the Fido jars. Having the jar squared saves space and makes it much easier to line the jars up in the cupboard.

I am sorry to hear that, for you and for me! I bought 7 of them. Lost 1 jar due to a branch hitting it. (High Winds)We get raccoons so I automatically added bungie cords around the jars and boxes. Also, we did notice the staples and added nails and put them up on the trees with screws.I decided when I need replacements I will get plastic gallon jars through uline.comYou can get a case of replacements for 10-15 dollars! They have a 4" mouth and I will just make the box opening a little wider.Good luck!! �

The wildside jar fits under most counters. It cleans the same as other blenders. My daughter uses it daily for a variety of use and for a family of 4. She only has good things to say about it. We do recommend getting the twister jar in addition to the wildside jar for thick recipes and thick items like making peanut butter.

Really depends on your shooting style and preference. I have both versions, but i prefer the twist. Its faster for my setup. I have no problems with the quality of both versions, they work great.

I haven't used either one of them. But I can tell you that I've only used it a total of 3 times. Number 1, it takes to long to open then close around the cap. Number 2, 2 out of 3 times it pops off the lid. You think it's lined up well (and it is) before it just pops off of the lid. Number3, The lid can't be larger then a pickle jar. So it's not useful for 1/2 the jars I need help opening. To be honest I just gave up trying. I've gone back to tapping the jar lid on the kitchen table or hitting it around the lid with a heavy spoon. Like most things I bought that was "As seen on TV" it was a waste of my time and Cash.
