No problems with spillage or leakage and they come in various sizes and shapes. Some are stackable.

While I don't come over Trail Ridge Road on most shopping trips, Berthoud Pass is over 11,000'. Snap on lids can't always take the 5,000 to 11,000 back to 8,000 quick changes. I've never had a screw lid come loose over a pass, when dropped, etc. I live at 8,650, so I'm more likely to have trouble opening "vacuum sealed" lids when we go to "low" land anywhere else we go.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04868384089341875485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154511856319682113.post-34302311229552925952014-02-01T05:44:47.952-08:002014-02-01T05:44:47.952-08:00Anon,

I'd never have enough large containers.

When I make soups, stews, chili, Spanish rice, etc., I store the future meals in these jars. I also use them to transfer items like pickles from glass jars to safe travel mode. Additionally being round rather than square, they allow for natural air circulation in the frig.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2154511856319682113.post-79279357843549610502014-01-29T12:29:55.714-08:002014-01-29T12:29:55.714-08:00Cvrvr,
