This review is from: 67000 Ball Qt Mason Jar WM 12-pack (Kitchen)
I have been using Ball #68100 wide-mouth, half-gallon Mason jars. They hold not only 2-quarts but even 2-liters and still allow airspace between the top of the contents and the rim or lid.
I needed 1-quart jars so I ordered Ball #67000 wide-mouth 1-qt jars. I was surprised to find, when they arrived, that not only could they not hold one quart of liquid with airspace above but they only held 30oz when filled to the rim.
I have since learned that “Ball” is a name licensed for use by multiple manufactures. The #67000 jars I purchased through Amazon were manufactured in the U.S.A. by Jarden and sold (through Amazon) by “All American General Store” which has since disappeared from Amazon’s list of vendors. (All American General Store never did reply to my email complaint.)
A Ball 1-quart, wide-mouth Mason jar which I later purchased from a well known local merchant did, in fact, hold 32oz.

What a disappointment it was to learn that all Ball/Kerr metal canning jar lids are lined with the toxin BPA. I hope they’re working on a lid that is 100{660353129f8d892044c993645a1c75194301fec6786a7f617c15adde0b0011e9} free of BPA, but in the mean time, if you’re searching for lids without BPA, you might try Tattler lids. They are reusable and guaranteed to last a lifetime. There are others on the market as well.

Amazon is usually on the cheper side on many items. I ordered these without looking into the prices. Soon I found out, they are twice as expensive compared with other places. 🙁
