I notice the description states that it holds round jars, but would it hold those square glass jars of spices like the kind Trader Joe's sells?

I'm not sure that "Jan" is leaving you a correct answer Heidi. This spice holder will not hold square jars. The "arms" that grasp the spice container are a half circle. I have round glass Penzey spice jars & those are too heavy for this rack. The only spice containers this will hold are round plastic ones.

I'm not familiar with Trader Joe products so I don't know if the sizes are similar to the small round jars. It might work, but the plastic "arms" that grasp the jars are a half circle shape so I don't know how firm a grip it would have on a square jar.

I am not sure what kind of jars Trader Joe's sells, but it does hold the little metal, square containers made by McCormick. I hope this helps you.

I've never seen the jars, but I highly doubt it. The holding piece is round plastic that stretches enough to snap the jars in.

if the neck is round, it will hold. but i have had some trouble with glass being too heavy in general

I have round glass spice jars and they are forever sliding out when I pull the rack out and it fits tightly around them. If I were the betting type, I would have to bet no it wouldn't hold a square any better then it does a round one.

I threw mine away, but you can figure the width of two spice jars plus add 1/2 to 1 inch for the center. I honestly can't recommend this, though. It started falling apart shortly after I set it up.

I use mine for nail polish and I have the bottles kind of staggered. It's room enough for normal size spices not the extra large sizes.

The lid is not a true square. Best way to describe it is that each side bows out a bit. Our lid (from the original jar we broke) has three threads and is hard to push onto the replacement glass jar but it fits tight and doesn't leak. We use the blender mostly for protein shakes. I hope this helps. Debbie

It depends on the size of the spice jar. these -"Qty 20 - 1 Oz Plastic Spice Jars with Sifter and Cap"- on amazon will fit 40, but if you use a 2-4 oz McCormicks or other spice, it will take up two spaces. Hope that helps.It has been a Godsend, as I have way more spices than most and little room.It isn't fancy looking but it does the job.

Hi Judith! Square bottles fit best in the 18-Bottle Original SpiceStack in SILVER and the 24-Bottle Classic SpiceStack in WHITE AND SILVER. Look for "universal drawers" in the product description... this means the SpiceStack holds both round and square spice bottles. The other SpiceStacks are really designed to fit round bottles best (although some square bottles can fit). I hope this helps!Lauren, Owner at YouCopia Products Inc.

The round spice bottles that the spices come in fit fine. the short ones can go 2 one on top of the other in one space

I've never used it as a canner, but I'm sure it will hold a number of quart jars (exact number I do not know).

I would think so, it will hold 6 or 8 quart jars. Not sure if half gallon jars will fit properly in the metal rack that comes with it for pint and quart jars. Personally, I would not buy this item again. It's too big, too heavy, will not fit properly on a large size burner. It has no handles because when filled with water it is so heavy, handles would break off.

That seems like it might work but I would make sure they are strong because it does have a little weight to it with the glass spice jars.

It will stand, but check the dimensions of your jar, jars usually have a different diameter/height ratio.

If box no. Has to be round to fit and not too big. I have bigger round spices still don't fit. Only use the size in picture.

No. They hold a typical spice container perfectly. Anything wider would not fit.

The rack works most easily with the sqat half pints - very stable. With the narrower base of the taller ones, you need to make sure that the jars are pushed up against the outer support wire so that the base of the jar sits on the outer base ring. Otherwise the jars my tip. I have successfully used both sides of the rack - see which size best stabilizes the style jar you are using.

Yes if it is a measuring tsp. size. I used a funnel to add spices to the jars.

I use mine for makeup etc. but spices come in all different sized jars. I would use the rack measurement and the average jar measurement and guesstimate. :-)

Great question. This container is actually a LOT smaller then you imagine. It is good for storing spices rather then larger containers of kitchen goods like baking soda. It comes with stickers to label spices too.
