In the last decade, I have spent more time than is reasonable looking for affordable, leak proof lids for mason jars (I realize that this is a highly specific mission, but if you read this blog, I think you’ll feel me). While the two-piece lids we use for canning can be leak proof, if they’re not sealed to the jar they’re not always perfectly reliable.
A handful of companies have brought various leak proof lids to market in recent years, and while they are perfectly useful, they don’t always meet the affordability market. Happily, the folks at Mason Jar Lifestyle have cracked the code. They’ve recently introduced a line of totally leak proof, airtight, and entirely affordable lids. I could not be more pleased.
The lids come in both regular and wide mouth sizes. Sold in boxes of five, they cost $14.99 for the regular mouth and $16.99 for the wide mouth. Each box contains a rainbow of lids, which means you can color-code your leftovers or lunch packing (a different color for everyone in the family, perhaps?).
The thing that makes these lids different from all the other storage lids out there is the fact that each one is fitted a removable liner made out of food safe, platinum cured silicone. Because it’s a full liner rather than a gasket, your food or drink never comes in contact with the plastic lid (though it is BPA-free, if you’re concerned). Both lids and liners are dish washer safe.
These are now the first lids I reach for when I’m putting away leftovers or opening a jar of jam for the fridge. I may need to buy another set, just to keep from running out!
The good folks at Mason Jar Lifestyle want to share the storage lid love and so have offered up two sets of lids (each set includes on box each of regular and wide mouth lids) to our Food in Jars community. Please use the widget below to enter (US residents only).

I love these! I store leftovers in jars in my fridge and would love a leak proof top to help with everyday spills.
Omg I love these, I could use them daily, food storage on my counter and fridge but also in my lunch and on the go. I live in florida and the metal lids and rings seem to rust really easy here
These would be great – and used for – lunches on the go!
AWESOME! This is a needed item in my stash – would be good for leftovers to take to work!
These look great. We like taking tea in mason jars and it’s really annoying when it leaks.
Wow! Leak Proof and great colors!!!! Love this! Thank you!
OMG these would amazing – I’ve been looking for something leak proof forEVER to transport foodstuffs to work for lunch!
Love these for food prep!
Very pretty colors! It’d be nice to have something so cheerful to add to my storage options.
I would love these for my overnight oats, which I make in individual servings in jars and like to give them a good shake when making to incorporate everything. The regular plastic lids are fine, but often leak a bit and these look much better! Same for making salad dressing and stir fry sauces.
I’m new to canning and jar storage, and these seem so helpful!
This would be very nice gift (for me) …oh yes, for family and friends also.
These sound great. I’ve bought the white lids from one of the canning companies, but always wonder about leakage. This will be one of my next purchases.
I would use these for my lunches every day! I always pack my lunch in a mason jar because it is more leak proof (since it’s vertical) than tupperware, and I’m too cheap/lazy to buy an actual lunch box. having these would guarantee I won’t spill anything on important documents!
Love that these are leakproof. I will use for anything liquid, as the inexpensive plastic lids I have are definitely not leakproof.
Oh, I would use these for transporting leftovers to work! So cool.
Salad dressings, soups, smoothies all in my bag, bringing them to work!
I would use these lids on all of my open jars. Thank you for always having great giveaways. Happy Holidays!
I would use these to store leftovers.
Love the colors! I’d use these for sealing opened jam and salsa jars.
Of any giveaway, I think this is the BEST ONE OF ALL. I use mason jars for just about everything and having a leak proof lid is exactly what I’m looking for. I’ve tried just about everything but this would fit the bill!
I would use this for Salads in a Jar recipes that I use for lunch.
I absolutely have a jar obsession and love FIJ and Mason Jar Lifestyle. These leak-proof lids would be perfect for ensuring the soup I take to work doesn’t leak in my lunch bag. Plus, those colors!
The only lids I’ve ever found that are leak proof are Trader Joe’s coconut oil lids. Over the years, I’ve collected a bunch of them. It would be fantastic to have leak proof lids in different colors besides white or black.
In the kitchen I would use them to top jars of salsa, bbq sauce, apple sauce, etc. that have been opened and placed in the refrigerator.
I use my small jars to save extra servings of sauces, dressings, etc., and these lids would be perfect!
This is such a great idea!!
I would use these lids on jars storing leftovers: soups, dressing, and canning extras. I would also use them for the flavored simple syrup I make for our coffee.
I would definitely use these lids for storing leftover bits of sauces and dressings. I am always looking for lids that will have a good seal for foods that could leak.
I think I would use these for my kimchi. The plastic lids I have been using do leak at times.
These would be perfect! I live on a sailboat and am trying to limit plastics as best I can. These would hold up well and best of all, not rust in the salt air.
Leak-proof, color choices AND also wide-mouth!? Hooray!
My husband takes his lunch in mason jars but isn’t always good about keeping them upright. This would solve all sorts of problems.
These would be so helpful!
I use mason jars for everything. These would be perfect for my lunches, and storing soups & sauces.
Storing all my salad dressings, sauces and leftovers safely in the fridge!
I’m using mason jars more and more in my kitchen for storage. Would love to have the lids!
I’ve just started doing a bunch of canning at work (getting an old farm set up as a ’30s living history farm), and it’d be handy to have these lids to shut things as I take ’em around for coworkers to taste!
I like to use jars for storage (pantry & refrigerator). I also try to do food prep ahead, so items like steel cut oats, pasta and salad are ready to grab. Great lids!
I would love a lid like this that does not leak….I have some plastic ones but they leak and did not come with the extra ‘seal’ that these seem to have. Plus I LOVE Mason jar lifestyle!
I think I would use these for just about everything in my fridge/lunchbox that I put in jars!
Finally – leak proof!
I would love to try this in our home. I pick up my milk in 1/2 gallon jars and it would be so great to know they wouldn’t leak and then make my fridge constantly look messy 🙂
I would use for salad dressings,marinades,storing dry ingredients..just love these..so cute and practical… thanks for the giveaway!
I’d use them for making my own salad dressings and drinks. Thanks for the chance to win some.
I love that they come in colors! It would be nice to know that they
Are leak proof.
I’d definitely use these for packed lunches! I have had so many lunch bags stained and ruined because of leaky containers, but these look like an awesome solution!
To cover my Lebanese Garlic Pickled Turnips! Love the colors of these lids, and my pickles. 🙂
I’d use these for storing dry goods in jars.
I’d use these to get a better seal for portioning out stew for lunches
Oooo, I like the colors.
