Thought this was an artshare community and was about to congratulate you on your ability to capture the light so effortlessly
I hand picked it from their website 😌
i thought they were broke...
in german there is a synonym for "to preserve", it's "einWECKen"
I Pesonally prefer the products of Bormioli Rocco over Weck, partly because they are cheaper, but also i prefer the mechanism. At least where i live you can buy these in every Supermarket, and the squared shape makes storing stuff in a drawer way easier.
Didn't know them, thanks!
Traditionally these are used for making jam
Funnily enough I mostly saw them for preserving vegetables, mostly cucumbers. They're kind of making a comeback the last few years.
Always preferred Mason/Ball to Weck because the Weck rubber rims can be finicky and little metal clips tend to go missing.
The Ball two-piece-lid is pretty rad.
The one Weck container I have the rubber rim went bad pretty quickly on and the replacement doesn't fit quite right so it leaks if you shake it at all.
I'm gonna also side on the twist on 2 piece lid designs are better.
Had that problem too. And the glass chipped easily imo.
These jars are really good, so much so that it is said in Polish that after putting a warm one in a jar and turning it, it has to “zaWECKować” 😄
A warm… what?
I choose to believe a poo

That shit is weck
No way! TIL. I nad no idea the word "wek" comes from a brand name.
Saved. Thank you!
Cat: wreck the weck!
