Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Ball Plastic 8-Ounce Freezer Jars, 5 Pack
Customer Review: For more than food
Summary: 5 Stars
I work out of a drill bag, and screw boxes, either paper or plastic, tend to fall apart, and picking 100 screws out of a satchel isn't the funnest chore. After looking around a local branch of a nation-wide super center franchise for storing various fasteners, I tried these containers.
They stack OK when on a flat surface, they're slightly top-heavy being a little too 'thin' for this use. Construction is fairly solid, and best of all for me, the lid screws down nice and snug. Having a label printer and some clear tape adds the ability to sort and identify at a glance.
8 oz is a perfect size smaller boxes of screws, about 50, and five for around $3 is hard a hard deal to beat.
Update - 2009.Oct.13
After several jobs with these containers in my cloth tool-bags, they've proven to be completely inadequate for what I intended. The plastic is not designed for travel with other items pressing on them in their not-full state. They crack & split open, dumping everything that was in them out of course. Would still be excellent for cheap, non-portable storage.
Because of this, I would change the rating to a 3 if I could.
Customer Review: Great product!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those rare products that is very cheap and yet well-made. I like to make fresh juice for drinking later. Since juice doesn't stay fresh long, you want to seal it really well, preferably in a canning jar with an airtight lid. Since canning jars are rather heavy to carry around, I tried these. Heck, for pocket change, I'll try anything.
They're perfect! While the little lid looks flimsy, it actually provides such a solid seal that I can bounce it around in my purse and it does not leak. What's more, my homemade juice tastes like new when I crack it open, better than a glass jar. They are made from durable #5 plastic, which is one of the re-usable types least likely to leach bad stuff into your beverage. After I drink my juice, I seal them back up so they don't dry up and that makes it a breeze to clean it when I get home by just running a quick sponge over it. I've used them for juice, salad dressing, yogurt, sauces... nothing has stained the plastic yet. I haven't tried them in a microwave or dishwasher; I don't know if I would because I'd hate for the lid to warp.
Customer Review: Great for freezing applesauce.!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I found these as an alternative to canning home made applesauce. They are great as they are single serving size, well for me they are as my applesauce is no added sugar. They have screw on lids which stay on well and are easier to get off frozen than ones you have to pull on a frozen hard ridge. They appear to be BPA free as they are number 5 in the recycle triangle on the bottom.
Very happy with these.

I love these jars for homemade baby food. I make big batches of food, pour it into these jars and pop em in the freezer. They stack and lock onto each other. I love the lids, they twist on. I wish they had them in 4 oz size. I just leave em in the fridge to defrost and use them 2 days in a row for feedings.Customer Review: SMALL FREEZING JARS BY BALL

First bought these at Wal-Mart but then they stopped carrying them so I got them through Amazon. They are handy for a variety of things from food to cosmetics to medicine - anything you can think of that you need to mix or divide.
