Q: Are these jars able to put in the freezer? If so, can they go in the microwave after removing from a freezer to lightly zap the contents? thanks Mel
A:Â I think the only safe way to answer this question is that ANY glass is subject to thermal shock. Even Corningwear and original Pyrex, borosilicate, can crack. So it would depend on how fat you bring it up to temp from freezing.
submitted byJohn - 3 years agoA:Â Hi Mel, thanks for your interest in our products! Our jars are not tempered glass and will break when subjected to temperature changes. Not all of our jars are freezer safe, none of our jars are safe for use in microwave ovens nor standard ovens. The only jars which are freezer safe are listed below, 1/2 inch headspace should be left for food expansion when freezing. We hope this helps! Regular Mouth - 4oz, 8oz, 12oz Wide Mouth - 16oz, 24oz

Q: Are there any areas on these jars that are smooth enough to place a label with the name of the contents? I know the company makes smooth sided jars but I haven't seen them in the 16oz size.
A:Â I purchased smooth 16 oz regular (not wide mouth) from Target a week ago.
submitted byJohn - 3 years agoA:Â Thanks for your interest in our products! These Ball 12pk 16 oz Wide Mouth Mason Jars have the Ball Logo on one side and the fruit logo on the other side, there is not really an area large enough or suitable for a label on these jars. We do make 16oz Smooth Sided jars which only have a small Ball logo on one side, at the bottom of the jar, and these are perfect for custom labels. We hope you will keep looking for them if this style is preferred.

Fresh and Delicious Creations Start Here: Ball® Jars
Just one step beyond cooking, canning involves processing food in closed glass Ball®canning jars at high temperatures. The heat interrupts natural spoilage by destroying food contaminants and, at the same time, removes air from the jars. As the jars cool, a vacuum seal forms to prevent recontamination.
