The Lids That Never Rust, Stick, or Leak

If you're tired of rust rings and fussy two-piece lids, these wide mouth plastic Ball lids are a gift from the yogurt gods.

They twist on smooth, seal completely, and — most importantly — hold up beautifully in sous vide water baths. For anyone making yogurt or storing fermented goodies in the fridge, these are a no-brainer.

Unlike some off-brand versions, the Ball lids are reliably leak-proof, durable, and easy to clean (dishwasher safe, of course). And they don’t warp over time — even after many batches of bubbling, steaming, gut-happy food.


Why These Live on My Favorite Jars

  • Leak-proof + airtight — perfect for yogurts, sauces, ferments, or broth
  • Won’t rust or warp — safe for sous vide and other wet adventures
  • Wide mouth fit — easy to pour, easy to store, easy to love
  • One-piece plastic construction — no fuss, no gaskets, no mold hiding places
  • Made by Ball — the OG Mason jar brand

🫙 If you’ve ever wrestled with a sticky ring lid or lost one to rust, you’ll know why these are such a delight.
