I use them for storage--homemade sauces, soups, etc. I've baked in jars before, too, but they were all gifts. I made mini cakes and bread puddings in jars for Christmas with instructions on storage, shelf life, if they should warm it up, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-mason-jars-for-baking-serving-drinks-etc#post-102370 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 20:10:58 +0000 chopsuey 102370@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: I love when they serve drinks in mason jars! I drink a ton of water at restaurants. :T I'm always thirsty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-mason-jars-for-baking-serving-drinks-etc#post-102119 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 14:06:22 +0000 polkadots 102119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we use mason jars for our pantry. We keep oatmeal, rice, beans etc in them! I also use them as vases and candle holders. LOVE mason jars! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-mason-jars-for-baking-serving-drinks-etc#post-102113 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 14:02:53 +0000 mediagirl 102113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have so many regular glasses that I have no room for mason jars. I have some in the pantry with this and that in them but they're all being used. If they're not being used, they get gifted or recycled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-mason-jars-for-baking-serving-drinks-etc#post-102097 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 13:38:30 +0000 Andrea 102097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It always looks so cute but I have never done it at home. There is a restaurant by me that serves drinks in mason jars and I think that is just way too much liquid to drink. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-mason-jars-for-baking-serving-drinks-etc#post-102091 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 13:36:08 +0000 chopsuey 102091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a love hate relationship with glass. I hate when glass breaks.. Shards, shards on the floor are the WORST! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-mason-jars-for-baking-serving-drinks-etc#post-102083 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 13:33:10 +0000 heffalump 102083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: I agree. Everything pretty is not practical. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-mason-jars-for-baking-serving-drinks-etc#post-102078 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 13:30:48 +0000 HabesBabe 102078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: I would be afraid of the jars exploding if I baked with them! This is the first I've heard of actually using them as a baking vessel... I just Googled it and it looks like I'm behind on yet another trend! It just seems like a PITA to eat out of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-mason-jars-for-baking-serving-drinks-etc#post-102077 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 13:29:31 +0000 heffalump 102077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: My sister made all of my family gifts that were in all sorts of different jars. She put pancake mix, granola, tea, etc. in them. I loved it because I could reuse the jars after, both at home and regifting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-mason-jars-for-baking-serving-drinks-etc#post-102073 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 13:27:00 +0000 HabesBabe 102073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use them every Xmas for my food gifts (homemade Baileys and cookie-recipes-in-a-jar)-- I'd like to use them at home for drinking glasses, but they take up too much space! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-mason-jars-for-baking-serving-drinks-etc#post-102071 Mon, 26 Mar 2012 13:23:48 +0000 heffalump 102071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always see a lot of recipes for baking in mason jars. I also see cute party inspiration for using mason jars as glasses at parties. Personally, not only do I not own that many mason jars, but I don't have enough space in my house to put that many jars out for guests. Plastic or paper cups that stack up seem to make a lot more sense to me. I do like the idea of being able to reuse them and not creating trash, but it just doesn't seem practical in a little space. </p>
