These “Elite” Ball Mason Jars Have the Most Unique Design (100x Better Than the Classic!)

If you’re anything like me, Mason jars are a staple part of your kitchen. But while they’ve been many people’s go-tos for things like preserving and storing food for decades, for me these jars serve one main purpose: drinking. Yes, dear reader, I’m fully a part of the team that thinks Mason jars make some of the best glasses around (it’s a hill I’m happy to die on). The only downside to using these jars as drinking glasses? They’re not the easiest things to hold. 

Now, if you’re using a smaller Mason jar, this problem doesn’t really apply. But if you’re like me and like to keep a large jar full of water on hand at all times, you know the inevitable hand cramp that comes with trying to hold one of these jars. Thankfully, there’s a product out there that solves this problem from none other than Ball itself: the Elite Spiral Canning Mason Jars. 

Now, you’re likely asking yourself, “How on Earth can you make a Mason jar easier to hold?” Well, like this. At first glance, these Mason jars look like any other set you might already have in your cabinet. But a closer look reveals a smart design feature you’re sure to fall in love with: a unique spiral construction complete with a narrow middle that makes these jars not only a bit more stylish but much easier on the hands.

Rating: 4.4/5 stars 

“This design is brilliant. Arthritis in my thumbs prohibits me from grasping the regular size or wide mouth jars because of squared corners. I’ve often wished they’d be squished in the middle and now they are. Holds a lot, and easy to grip and dependable canning strength.” — Kate B. 

“Very nicely made Mason Jar. It’s way easier to hold than a normal wide-mouth mason jar, and I really like the twist design.” — Amazon customer

“My friend has these, and I loved that the glass tapers in the middle so I had to buy my own. So much easier to hold on to.” — DLively
