I thought these jars would make a good salt & pepper set, but the jars are too big for table purposes. They're still great to have them on my cooking station for everyday purposes or to store large quantities of spices.
The design is great, in the sense that holds the same amount of product as other jars but utilises less space on my counter top.The lid has an upper rotating over-lid that opens to three different perforated sections for sprinkling and pouring purposes. The pouring opening is perhaps too large if you cook for two people and don't use large pots.
Unfortunately, this jars aren't dishwasher or microwave safe, and it will break on touch with boiling water. So, not as good as other Kilner containers. On the other hand, there is no reason why you would want to wash this often or put it in a microwave.
