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 could think of a million ways to use them! Coffee, sharing sauces and other liquidy creations with friends, etc!
I love mixing dressing in a jar and these would be easier to get off then the metal lids.
Awesome! I’d use them to store my lactofermented foods in the fridge 😀
these look far better than the pile of sometimes rusty two part lids in my pantry!
These are waaay cuter than the NOT leak proof white plastic lids I have. I’d use them for lunch to-go soup, traveling iced coffee, and leftovers.
I would primarily use the lids for dry good storage, but I’m sure if grab them time and time again for leftovers and lunches.
Would probably use these for lunches – I’ve got the plastic lids that Ball makes, but only use them at home because they’re definitely not leakproof…
What wouldn’t I use them for?
Soup leftovers, to save me from the disappointingly flimsy delitainers I’ve been using.
Wow! Adding the silicone gasket to these lids is a brilliant idea! I would definitely use these to carry my lunch to work!
Love the colors! I would use them for storing shrub syrups.
I would use these mostly for toting liquids in my lunch bag- water, salad dressing, milk or cream.
VERY nice! I graduated from re-used deli containers to purpose-bought ZipLoc jars & boxes, a couple years ago (because Mr. was sure the deli containers aren’t supposed to be re-used). Mayo-jar lids work semi-OK on narrow-mouthed mason jars, which has been nice for homemade jam, but not so great for really liquid things!
I would use them all the time!!
I’d use these for my overnight oatmeal
I reseal partly empty canning jars & store all kinds of things. (I do this already but these lids look much nicer 🙂 )
I use Mason jars for storing milk for baby. Silicone that I can sterilize would be incredible…
I’d love to try these lids- they look great!
Something that I can use to safely (dryly?) carry lunch to work – hooray!
