I love mason jars. \u00a0I have a large collection of them. \u00a0Aside from their most obvious use, they are used quite regularly in my kitchen. \u00a0They can hold just about anything, but I love using them to store mixes or ingredients. \u00a0And I make things really easy on myself concerning their use – I write directions for their use right on the underside of the lid. \u00a0I always forget how much popcorn to how many tablespoons of oil for making popcorn on my stove. \u00a0I hate having to pull out my huge master cookbook <\/a>for such a simple recipe. \u00a0So, I write the important info on the underside of the lid. \u00a0I sometimes use a dry-erase marker or a permanent marker. \u00a0If I ever change ingredients, sometimes the permanent marker will scratch off. \u00a0If not, I always save my used lids every time I open a jar of home canned food. \u00a0I always have old lids around ready to be used. \u00a0You can’t reuse them for canning, but you can reuse them a bunch for dry goods. \u00a0This also works great on mixes, such as cream-of soup mix or the hamburger helper mix I always keep on hand.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
