I freaking love my reCAP lids. I have 10, a thank-you gift for supporting the initial Kickstarter fund-raising campaign that helped turn reCAPs from a really great idea into a really great reality.
Image from reCAP Mason Jar Lids
The BPA-free plastic, pour-spout lids transform any regular mouth mason jar into a leak-proof, easy-to-use pourable container. I have my Mason Jar Stir-Fry Sauce stored in a jar topped with one, I whip up shake-and-go vinaigrettes that are easy to use because of the lids, and I moved my Frank’s Red Hot out of it’s plastic container and into glass after I received my lids.
Other folks are using their lids to turn mason jars into sippy cups, or to store milk, tea, honey, maple syrup and more.

Oh I’ve been eying these up for a while, I’m thinking homemade salad dressings, water bottles, really it’s endless.
FB page liked! =)
I think they would make great jars for taking tea with me to work…or storing the honey I get from the bulk section at the market (or the tamari I get from the same section) instead of the plastic bottles they provide…or for storing home made salad dressing…the possibilities are endless!
I like ReCap already on FB!!
I would probably use them to store my coconut milk and flour. And dressings is probably the best idea.
what a great giveaway! I would love to win some because I use my widemouth jars for almost everything, but I’m always short on lids! plus, the jars as is, don’t always pour cleanly :/
These are great. I hadn’t seen them before today. I would LOVE this lid on my honey jar. It will also be great on my jar of sun tea, for drinking anywhere I go. For pouring homemade cleaners, how easy to use. I liked them on FB. Thanks for sharing this product.
Liked on FB! And really what would you NOT use this thing for? I’m actually thinking usable amount of dry goods. Sugar, quinoa, rice. Things where I just want a 1/2 cup or less without pulling out the whole freaking sack.
Facebook page liked, and oh! I would so love one of these. I am learning all over again how to cook, using fresh foods and dry foods and such, and this would be fantastic to have on my counter, with dried beans or such in it, so I remember I have them and use them rather than have them sitting in my closed cupboard!
Like on FB!! I would use this for my favorite summer tea…homemade mint peach iced tea. I’d also use it for the homemade dressings I already make. Its be super awesome to have the spout to make pouring easier.
I just liked them on FB. This is a perfect solution to the sun tea jar spill problem and some homemade vinegar dispensing.
A spout, what could be better on a Mason Jar?
they look great, but I live in Australia so cant enter. will look out for them if they appear here.
I would use the lids on jars of salad dressing. Great giveaway! Thanks.
FB page liked…
Dressings, drinks to go… I make a balsamic honey mustard dressing that would be great in them.
Liked twice: once for me and once as my CheapCooking page. ;) I’ve been storing nearly all things in glass these days and use my canning jars for many things. Pourable lids would definitely come in handy for homemade dressings, sugar syrup (a staple around here in the summer with 2 bursting lemon trees!), and I wanted to try your stir fry sauce!
I loved this on Facebook! I am so excited to hear about these-they will be perfect for the infused vodkas I make in mason jars!
I’m a fan of theirs on Facebook. I love these lids. I want one to try out on my mason jar (with handle) chai to-go mugs. It it works well my customers would be all over it! I use mason jars for everything and my aim when pouring is.. well, POOR! These lids would be perfect. Why didn’t I think of that?!
I will love to use them to dispense the home made shampoo and body cream , the big mouth bottles pour too much, are messy and it is a waste of product. For the honey too, hate to leave it in the plastic bottle.
Liked ‘em on FB.
I will use them at work. (I’m a lunch lady at a rockin’ elementary school that serves made from scratch meals using mostly organic and local ingredients.)
Take along drinks without having to use plastic bottles. Store left over liquids.
Liked on FB :)
I could use these in so many ways! From pouring salad dressing made right in the mason jar, to pouring quinoa or millet into measuring cups, to dispense homemade laundry detergent. Thank you for the giveaway!
I have liked the page on fb. I will look forward to using my reCap lids for pouring whole grains and pastas. Trying to repurpose mason jars for just about everything in my house – laundry, kitchen, compost. Love this product!
I “like” reCap’s fb page! And I would use these lids for salad dressing, water bottles, to store bulk honey…I’m sure I can think of tons more uses!
I “liked” the reCap facebook page! I would use my first! reCap for my daughter’s energy drink to mix and shake it up! After that, I’ll use more (I’m ordering!!!!!) for my homemade BBQ sauce and to mix up homemade Ranch Dressing! I have told so many people about these, I love the idea!
I liked ReCap at FB. Had not seen them before. Would use them for honey, teas, dressings, smoothies and juices, possibly even my homemade bug repellant. They look so practical! I think they might work for kvass, too. And batter.
I would use them for storing bulk goods in smaller containers. Wish there were another alternative besides plastic though.
What a COOL idea! I yet again learn something new, from what you share. Ok so I liked them on Facebook,and will be sharing the info with my friends that Can! Like all you other readers “what couldn’t use them for”? But me? My first one would be to store one of my favorite food groups. It’s ‘ Rooster Penicillin’ AKA SRIRACHA sauce’ Why? Because you can never have enough! :)
I liked them on FB. How did I not know about these before. I think I need one for every jar in the pantry and fridge. But right now I’m thinking smoothie transporter.
I totally liked on FB AND retweeted! What a wonderful idea the lids are! Perfect for my half gallon mason jars that hold my fresh goat milk and would work perfectly for my BF’s homemade BBQ sauce. Thanks for sharing!
I would LOVE this for salad dressings!!!
I liked the ReCap page!
I would likely use this for salad dressing, as well! The lids get way too gunky when you are just opening, pouring, and re-screwing them back on :)
I would use these for anything that needs a good shake before I use it. Homemade sauces, dressings, and drinks come to mind first. I have a glass carafe specifically for making homemade salad dressings but it has such a tiny opening that it’s hard to clean. It would be much easier to use a jar that was easy to pour from and easy to clean afterwards!
I like their page over on Facebook. I plan to use them to turn my canning jars into drinking glasses that I can then take to campus with me. I love drinking out of jars at home but taking them in the car or to class just isn’t working.
Liked!
I’d probably use it as a water bottle at work. I love the idea of a recloseable spout so that I could take it to meetings & not spill on the way.
How awesome! Liked on FB. I would use for my homemade sauces or drinks
I liked the page on FB (what’s NOT to like!) and I would use it for storing my finished kombucha in the frig. We also just got a new pkg of bees installed in our hive and we are looking forward to the honey! I think the lids would be great for capping that off too. I just love the idea of using my mason jars more and the frig full of them! :)
I would use these for storing my home harvested honey and the balsamic dressing I love with just a splash of truffle oil.
Great idea.
I liked you on FB too. <3
I liked on FB. As for what I would use these for, the possibilities are literally endless as I store EVERYTHING in my pantry in mason jars. I am a mason jar addict I guess ;)
Liked! Perfect for cream and a hundred other things – well maybe a dozen. Cream first.
Liked!
And, I’d probably use them at school. I teach ap environmental science, and I see products I bring in slowly make their way to the students, so I’m starting a revolution!
FB page liked :) And I would totally use this for my honey!
I liked it! I would use these for everything! I love using glass jars for storage and spices and…. But I think this summer they would be for drinks, some fruity, icy drinks!
I liked ReCap on FB. These look cool!
I think I would use these for dry products ~ oatmeal, rice, etc…
liked recap on facebook.
these lids would be fantastic for my honey jar…the rim gets so messy when just using it normally, and would be wonderful for mixing up my salad dressings!
I like you on facebook & recap too! As for uses…too many to list. Love the milk pouring, sippy cup style and dressing ideas mentioned before. Would also like to use them for dry foods and sprinkling parmesean cheese. The possibilities are endless. GREAT IDEA! Thanks for the giveaway.
I liked. I’ll prolly use it for coffee and honey. :)
Liked on FB.
Maple syrup, salad dressing…. I need to get some of these. :)
I liked the Mason jar lids page and would love to turn my jars into water bottles :)
I’m a Facebook resister, but I’m always making salad dressings in jars so I’d love one for that. I store just about everything in jars, so I’m sure I’d find plenty of other uses for them too.
What a terrific idea! I definitely ‘like’ the reCap product and Facebook page and can see myself storing saved seeds and dried herbs, as well as using the jars for water bottles, smoothies, coffee, hot chocolate and soup to go, refrigerated leftovers and opened home-canned items (just place a reCap to seal) . Could also use them as mini terrariums, fish bowls, or piggy banks! (: We organize many things in reused glass jars but the BPA-free lids make reCaps safe for foodstuff, a huge plus for me. Thank you for creating such a useful item!
I liked re-Cap on FB!
If I win, I would use them to store my Ice tea in, and easily pour into my glass. Or just take the whole jar and drink it (ala sippy cup)
liked from moment one…now I have liked them on facebook. I an in a Whole Living class and we are making herbal tinctures and other herbal based medicines. These are going to be a gift to our wonderful teacher.
I liked reCap on facebook. I think it’d be great for fermented beverages! They’d be great for kefir & broth, too. I could also use them to drink out of pint jars when I’m traveling. Thanks for the giveaway!
I liked the reCaps page on FB – and what I would use it for — water, for one, storing my fave poppyseed salad dressing – and tea – Thanks for the great blog!
liked them on facebook gidgetnfroggi
Just liked their FB page. These would make giving homemade gifts extra special. I know I would use them for salad dressings. The shaker top looks really handy too.
1) Liked reCap on FB, also browsed the page. 2) I would probably use for my homemade salad dressings as the 2 ancient Good Season cruets I have been using for the last 30 years always leak. I make my own Italian and French using the same recipes my mother did when I was growing up. Always had to make sure you shook them real good and don’t let the garlic cloves out into your salad.
I would definitely use these for taking my homemade soymilk to work with me! A resealable, pourable spout = awesome! Though I could probably find a bazillion more uses too :) (no FB here…)
On the jar of my homemade salsa!
I Liked on fb. I would love this for my fresh cream for pouring in my coffee cup without having it drizzle down my jar :)
okay, I just went and did the “like” thing. (me and 5000 other folks!) I’ve been coveting these ever since I saw them on your blog. They’re on my list of “things to buy when I get a real job”. I could use at least five of them! Maple syrup and salad dressing come to mind right away. Thanks!
I liked them on FB and I can not wait until they make the wide mouth. We get raw milk from a local farm in mason jars and it would make pouring the milk so much easier! But for now I would use for kombucha and salad dressing.
I liked the FB page, and I would definitely use it for homemade salad dressing. And a hundred other things!
To store syrup solution for feeding the bees.
I follow ReCap on Facebook.
I’d use them for honey, iced coffee and my favorite idea; shaking up pancake batter up inside and having the perfect spout to pour perfectly shaped pancakes on the griddle.
I liked it and love it and want some more of it.
I liked reCAP on facebook and hope to use it to store my favorite marinade….apricot sriracha ginger.
http://www.sassyradish.com/2009/06/apricot-glazed-sriracha-ginger/
The possibilities are endless…for salad dressing or pancake syrup in the kitchen, but I’m also seeing this as a great container for my countless buttons that I love to collect…and the pour top is great to pour them out.
I want one! I’ve posted my like and I’ll use my top to decide how many more I need to buy!!
Liked them on FB! I currently have all my oats, pastas, and rices in mason jars right now anyways, so having a pour-able lid would make it about 10000 x’s easier to handle (i.e. less spilled oats on the stove top ha ha)
Ummm..I’m one of those weirdos that am staunchly against facebook. But am NOT against those awesome lids! We use Mason/Ball/whatever jars daily as drinking glasses in our home and would put those lids to good use as a sippy cup at home and on the go, refrigerator storing, maybe out in the garden for fertilizer sprinkling!
This is a great idea. I just ordered 6 as fun gifts for a few specific friends who I know will get a kick out of using them. I currently use mason jars for some food storage and will anxiously await the “wide-mouth” version so that I can make my storage jars pourable! In the meantime, I’ll use these for salad dressing and whatever else comes to mind.
Liked on FB! I would love to use these for honey or mixing salad dressing.
Liked the reCAP Facebook page. I’ll be using my reCAP for iced tea. Can’t wait! :)
I liked the facebook page. I think I would use them for many different things, dressing, storing, drinking water out of.
Facebook = like!
This great product will help me keep hydrated as I garden!
I “liked” recap on FB and plan on transferring all my food products stored in plastic containers into mason jars using the the caps.
I FB liked and I would love to win! First of all for the flip top drinking option, 2nd of all for storing all of my pourable dry goods already in mason jars in ones with these nifty lids! Then to my ultimate goal of shopping zero-waste style in the bulk bin aisles and storing even more dry goods in flip-top masons!
This is awesome. I just like your Facebook page and NEED one of these. I would use this for my homemade vanilla extract which I use a wide-mouthed container for but then it will be easy to decant and use the yummy vanilla with this handy spout! This couldn’t be more perfect for my vanilla making and consuming needs! I use A LOT of vanilla.
Oh wow, how neat! Liked her on FB, and I’d totally be using it to store something in the fridge… homemade dressings, maple syrup (I buy it in bulk), homemade chocolate syrup, I know I’d use it a bunch. :)
I liked on FB and I will be using these for my kidos, I would so much rather use glass jars as opposed to plastic jars, plus who does not love Ball jars!
Jordan
Salad dressings and healthful, on-the-go smoothies for my drive-thru-enticed husband!
I am interested in using the lids for my aromatherapy massage oil blends. I have my oil in plastic flip top bottles but suspect I would get a little flash of delight every time I used my oil during a treatment. I am a lover of mason jars and use them for everything. I especially love feeding my bees and watering my chicks with simple but brilliant lid accessories that make the jars do more.
Very Neat! With 8 children, let me count the ways I would use these… sippy cups, to store milk in so the littles could pour it on their cereal and not pour a half gallon out, honey storage, salad dressings, oy I could go on…
I liked the reCAP! facebook page. With a household of eight we could use reCAP! for everything in our busy day! Certainly for some tasty beverage as I round up the kids in the morning, for pouring just the right amount of dressing on my salad, for holding onto those craft supplies until the perfect moment, or decorating my desert with chocolate chips. Thank you for this opportunity to use resources wisely and decrease exposure to BPAs.
I like the reCAP Facebook page. These caps would work great for homemade salad dressings. Also for keeping hot peppers in, I often just use the juice from the peppers in recipes.
If I win one of these really interesting lids, I will give it a good test run and then review it on my blog!
Oh, and I did like your Facebook page.
If I win I would flaunt it in my sister’s face…then buy her one! After all she got me hooked on using mason jars for everything!
I love mason jars, so anything that improves them is great in my book! I like the idea of putting honey in one, and using one to drink out of is great because it would keep bugs out while drinking outside. I store lots of stuff in mason jars, and I think these lids would also help with portion control. love ‘em
I liked the reCAP Facebook page. I love to craft and could see reCAP being so useful for everything from small embellishments, like buttons and brads and such, to a drink next to where I stamp! I already have mason jars to hold my friends’ drinks, but reCAPs would keep them from spilling. I’d also love enough reCAPs to hold grains, Stevia, and such. I’d want to display them on my counter.
I have just “liked” the Recaps on FB and I would use them for salad dressing, marinades and fruit syrups, including the fresh batch of dandelion honey we made last week!
Just liked them on FB, and would likely use them for juices and syrup.
I did it! I liked them. There should be a “love” button on facebook. My husband told me about these lids after seeing them on you post about the sauce. We’d use the lids for just about everything! We used Mason jars as drinking glasses at our wedding. So we have tons of them still, and use them for everything from canning, to drinking glasses, to storing batches of cleaning products I make from scratch.
Liked them, and it’s funny I just pinned the caps on my “Things I Want” board yesterday. I’ve been continuing the anti-anflammatory challenge (and extended it into very general primal eating), which means I’ve been making a lot of our convenience items from scratch. The reCap would be super convenient for my jars of home made sauces and salad dressings.
Just liked Recap on FB…What a great idea! I think I would us mine for salad dressings or parmesan cheese….Love it! Thanks for sharing this fun giveaway….
I liked them on Facebook! I haven’t seen any of these in Canada yet, but I plan to pick some up when I’m in Chicago at the end of the month.
I sometimes make some not-quite-set preserves to use as ice cream topping. This would be a fantastic way to pour straight from the jar without having the mess of spooning it out! And it’d be great for bottled salsa, I can think of SO many uses for these :)
I would love one! I make my own sauces all the time and this would make it much easier (and less messy) dispensing them.
FB page liked. I’ll use it as a doggy bag when visiting restaurants. Don’t you hate those styrofoam carry outs? (I have another jar topping brand for drinking but, if the jar falls over in my reusable grocery bag, sauces and liquids spill all over everything else in the bag – wondering how I know that?) Leftovers in and a ready made lunch to grab the next day.
FB page liked. Will be using them as sippy cups for the grandkids and me!
Liked! I love the salad dressing idea, but my first thought was for a big glass of iced tea…. then i got to thinking that I could start up another Kefir batch and store it in these jars. I used to just put a plastic lid on the jars, but they are hard to drink out of… this would make it easy!
Liked on FB! This is the first I’ve heard of these and I love it! I recently inherited tons of mason jars and these are just what I need to get them out of the garage and into the kitchen. The possibilities are endless and I love the idea of using it to make homemade salad dressings.
I’ve liked this great idea on fb and would love to use the lid on a mason jar for my morning protein shakes. Such a good idea!!
I signed up for facebook once at the urging of younger co workers. I found that I was not willing to take the time to figure out what it meant when someone “wrote on my wall” or to find out who my comments and replies were going to so I unsubscribed. I don’t like to use things that don’t make good sense to me, like the stock market and facebook. Anyway I love the idea of the Recap. After I went to their website (no facebook involved) I wanted several.
Last summer I had an enormous tomato crop in my Portland raised beds. I did not want to take the time to can them as I was working full time so I came up with a plan. I pureed them skins and all. Lined the dehydrator shelves with parchment paper and poured the pureed tomatoes into big puddles on the paper. I dried the puddles, usually overnight then peeled them off of the paper. They are crunchy sheets great for sandwiches and roll ups. Some of the sheets have gotten smashed in the bag so I crunched them to bits and put the bits in a jar and I shake tomatoes in and on all kinds of things. The Recap would be perfect for my tomato bits.
Liked on facebook. I think I’d use my first one for the batch of rhubeena I plan to make this weekend!
Easy–It’ll be my car mug. Recently dripped coffee all over myself because–duh–the mason jar without rubber washer DRIPS.
Oops, and yes, liked on the dreaded fb.
I liked them on fb.
I could definately see keeping one of these on the jar of fresh goat milk that is ready to be used, then I wouldn’t have to keep telling people which jar is which, just tell them to use the one with the pourable lid. So much easier. (We rotate so that the oldest is used first.)
I’m loving stealing ideas from everyones comments! =)
I liked the reCAP Facebook page, & I think I would use it to store this mint julep syrup that I make.
I like reCAP on FB! And if I win, I’ll use the caps for lots of things. Homemade flavored coffee creamer, strawberry-rhubarb syrup, and Ranch dressing all come to mind.
First of all…genius! Second of all, the question isn’t what WILL I use these for, but what WON’T I use these for…okay, maybe not everything, but I have a feeling my reCAP-to-wide-mouth-jar ratio is going to be pretty close to even. Thanks for hosting this contest & an opportunity to win one!
Oh, & PS…I “Liked” the reCAP Facebook page too :-)
Facebook liked :) I would use my reCaps for salad dressing, fresh milk, oh the possibilities!
I “liked” them on FB! I so want some of these lids….uses are endless…but I have some homemade syrup that is screaming for one right now from my fridge! I recently obtained some of the Cappow lids that I use to turn my mason jars into to go mugs.
I liked them long ago on Facebook. Even bought my own 5 last week. They are fantastic! I have them on vinegars and dressings right now, but the uses are endless.
Though I would love to be a conscientious Facebook objector I did like the reCAP Facebook page!
I would like to use it for countless things (salad dressing, tea, juice, etc) but recently i have been thinking of using it for herb oils. Spring is bringing gorgeous chives and other things to my yard so i would love to make some oils and these seem like a good way to utilize re purposed mason jars in a cute and easy way!
I think this would be awesome for popcorn kernels! No more messy, spill-inevitable, bags. It would be so easy to store them this way and easier to measure out! Really these are so versatile and handy there really is no end to the possibilities. Who says they even have to stay in the kitchen? Button jars in the sewing room maybe.*
*Facebook page liked
These are so cool! Liked them on Facebook. I would use mine for salad dressings, and to-go drinks!
I liked reCap on Facebook! I would love to use a reCap for my opened jars of pear butter, for serving on oatmeal and toast and yogurt.
Facebook liked!
I have several old mason jars and some very pale blue Atlas jars as well! The ReCAP lids would turn them into pretty, yet functional additions to my table! I can see them holding honey, maple syrup, sugar, cream or milk, sauces and dressing! Love them!!
LIKED on fb. I would love to use this for salad dressings, home-made chocolate syrup, and probably honey. Thanks for the chance to win!
1), I liked it on FB, browsed the page too.
2) I would use to make homemade French and Italian dressings. I use the same recipes my mother did. My 30+ years old Good Seasons cruets always leak when we shake them up.
these are fantastic! i quickly jotted over to FB and liked them, also went to pintrest and following them there as well.
i would use these for so many reasons; simple syrup, marinade sauces, and salad dressing just to name a few. i am so going to put these on my “must get” shopping list for the summer.
thanks so much for sharing this great product!
I’ll probably use mine this summer for various syrups…chai syrup for adding to iced tea, rose and/or pincherry syrup for adding to lemonade…
Oh, and liked on fb.
Liked! My first thought was salad dressing, but then I thought about how annoying it is when bugs get in my margaritas or g&ts, so protecting summer drinks moved to the top of the list.
I’ve done the FB ‘Like’ and will be ordering some of these. What a fantastic idea. The first thing I will be using this for is my homemade salad dressing.
Thought I’d share a simple vinaigrette recipe here as I’m reading all these comments for reCAP ideas and feel like I should donate to the village :)
Whisk or fork-stir…
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard,
3 Tbsp Vineagar (balsamic or white or whatever you like), then whisk in
4 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive oil (or canola or whatever you like)
Add one flattened garlic clove or mince 1/2 shallot or do nothing at all.
Salt & Pepper.
Let sit for a little while to let the garlic or shallot flavour the dressing.
Or
Throw everything in your mason jar and shake. Don’t worry about all the fussy explanations about finely drizzling in the oil, it’s all trying to make it like a fine science. Just make the stuff like a kid would make it…with enthusiasm.
Easy peasy and you can add any dried or fresh chopped herbs that feel right…or not.
Enjoy!
Liked these on facebook! Can’t wait to try these. We have dairy goats and store the milk in mason jars. Only downfall is the milk is always spilling and dripping down the side and bottom of the jar. These are the perfect solution!
I totally love mine (I also funded at the 10-cap level)! So far I’ve got them on jars containing homemade kefir, vanilla extract, almond milk, and fresh lemon juice.
I think my only minor complaint is that I wish they had not attempted to make them look like the “vintage” galvanized metal lids. It’s plastic and no amount of careful coloring is going to make it look otherwise. I’d just as soon have white or several colors to choose from (that would be nice for color-coding contents).
I like them LOTS! Hope I get to try one. Maybe green smoothies when we’re out homeschoolin’ , or keeping my sauces easy and ready to go, or ?
Thx!!!
These are absolutely awesome! Can’t think of much I wouldn’t use them for…but I can vegetables every year and as I empty the Mason Jars the end up living in a tote unused, if nothing else they’d be great for trips in the car with my kids and for workout session water!
I liked your FB page! And will share with others as well. I’ll use these to make drinks to take to the garden with us! Thanks for sharing this wonderful product with us!
Die-hard Facebook objector! Sorry I can’t like the page. I use mason jars all year round! The fridge and the pantry is filled with them performing various tasks (mostly holding things within their durable glass bodies). I do have lots of those white plastic lids for mason jars but they don’t work so well in the freezer or with hot liquids and of course they’re completely useless to help you pour things. So a couple of these would surely be an awesome upgrade!
I’ll be pouring dressings, marinades and sauces of all sorts. I can get some of my huge 2-quart jars and make some sun tea. I could mix up some scrambled eggs to pack in the cooler when we go camping. I also have some very old, vintage jars I’m scarred to can in. I love the idea of giving them a new life with these lids.
I “liked” on Facebook. What a great idea. I will use mine for taking my smoothie to work. Great ideas too.
I LIKED on facebook. I will use my mason jar to store jam that is homemade. I want to thank you for all these wonderful giveaways! I hope I win! GOOD LUCK ALL!
I like reCAP on Facebook. What a wonderful idea! I always have empty Mason jars around.
I will use my reCAP for salad dressing. I never have a jar big enough but with a reCAP I can use a quart Mason jar for homemade salad dressing.
I am a Luddite. I realized I was spending too much time on meaningless tweets and Facebook notes, often sent to people I did not care about in high school, let alone now. I was reading less and I realized it was because I was participating in a time suck of tweets and Facebook. I also got rid of my cell phone because I realized it annoyed me to be bothered when I was out—I am not a brain surgeon, nor do I ply one on TV, so there was really no need to be at everyone’s disposal 24 hours a day. And if someone died, then they will be dead even if I am not notified right away—nor do I care to hear in Safeway or Vons that a parent or friend died; I’d rather be in private for that. All of which is to say, I cannot like anyone on Facebook.
However, I would love, love, love a reCap for my syrup or salad dressing. THank you for the chance to win.
This is why we’re happy to make an exception for conscientious facebook objectors. ;)
For pancake syrup.
FB needs a “Loved it” button cuz I loved it on FB and my first thought was to use as Iced Tea, (sweet tea of course) glasses. Then I thought of all the bowls on the counter containing all the treats, people and pooches. What a perfect, colorful, and germ free way to store the treats for everyone! M&M’s, JellyBeans, Almonds, Cashews, and the bite size, home-made pooch treats too! So many uses!! You are so smart!!
Such a neat product! With lots of uses… think of using mason jars for delicious salad dressings.. hmm.. :)
I’ve liked them on fb!
I would use them for the homemade salad dressings that I make every week. I would probably also use them to store chicken scratch and other treats I like to treat my two backyard city hens with!
I have liked them on FB… and as far as what I’d use them for… just about anything and everything. I love to keeps lots of healthy snacks around (nuts, dried fruit, etc) and these would be great for all of those, but they’d be great for storing leftover soups and broths too. I’d love to get away from using so much plastic in the kitchen and these would make mason jars a much easier to use option. Coolio. I will definitely be watching to see when they come out.
Liked the FB page. I can imagine a million ways to use these things, but one that comes to mind right away is for pizza sauce. We make it in big batches and freeze in jars, but then use it in only 1/4-1/2 cup increments. A re-Cap will make it easy to pour as we make each pizza. I’m sure I will end up buying a bunch anyway!
Liked them on Facebook, would LOVE them in real life!
I’m getting married on June 3rd(holy cow, it’s coming up fast!) and the future-hubby and I have planned an amazing Pacific Northwest camping honeymoon. We’ll be spending a week in the Olympic Rainforest, a week on the San Juan islands, and a week on the Oregon coast. I’m so excited! I would love to have a reCAP lid for the honeymoon, as I can only imagine it would make packing a quickly-made campside soup or sauce for a hiking picnic lunch a snap!
In fact, I’ll probably pick up a bunch of these lids anyway, but winning one would make it so much easier on this cash-strapped student couple! :D
oh my gosh!! these are soooo cool!! we use mason jars as drinking glasses, as they are much sturdier than actual glasses. This lid is awesome! I liked the FB page and would LOVE to win one!!
Love the idea of the reCap, we use cuppows around the house now, but having somethign with a easy to remove lid for riding too and from work without the splashes on the potholes would be great.
I would really like to see a future review about their durability as well, we might invest heavily in these for pantry and refrigerator storage, but I don’t want to buy something that won’t be around for a while :)
Just liked these on FB. I would love these for my homemade salad dressings that I am notorious for spilling all over the fridge!
liked on FB page.
I can think of several different uses for these, but will probably use them firsy for my bone broths.
Liked on Facebook. I was going to say I’d use them for dry goods and mixing up my honey mustard dip/dressing… but then I saw Kim’s picture on the Facebook page with the drink and the awesome beaded name tag and I’m totally in love. My daughter is trying to start a beading business – I think I NEED a new drink bottle with a beaded MOMMA name tag. :)
Liked it! Sauces and dressings so easy to use!
I have never heard of these! Totally liking the FB page and am envisioning warm syrups and blueberry sauces for pancakes and french toast…mmmm…
Liked on FB!
I’d definitely use this for salad dressings and maybe even smoothies that need a good shake before drinking.
I would use these for pretty much everything, they would be great to turn mason jars into an even more multifunctional part of the kitchen. they would be perfect for drinks at the table, or on the go, adding parts of mixes already in the jar to smaller containers ect.
I liked the facebook page.
I liked there page and I would use the cap to take my jar of water to yoga class and in the stroller without sloshing all over everyone!
I “liked” the page on FB (I’m about the farthest thing from a FB objector you could find). I think I would do anything and everything with those lids, but I especially like the sippy cup idea for my water-lovin’ little girl.
liked recaps on fb and would use it for water
Ok… FB like done!
How I will use the five caps…
~ For many flavored simple syrups… Ginger, vanilla, cayenne, maple, almond… To whip up summery drinks!
~ For hand made hair conditioner…
~ For kitty crunchies! I can shake them out to entertain the cats…
~ For smoothies-on-the-go, to take on light rail as I zoom downtown!
~ For hiding the hooch in my cold brewed summer coffee on weekend afternoons in the garden…
~ For the watermelon syrup I’ve been dying to try ever since I read about it a decade ago… Yummm!
Ok, that’s six ‘”for’s”… Hmm. Will I get to fulfill these Foodie fantasies (and one for the cats…)?
Thanks! Love this giveaway!!
I would use them for jars of salad dressing and for my jars of sugar, and other baking supplies.
I liked you guys!!! And I don’t know all the ways I will use it, of the top take it with me to the garden to store harvested flowers,carry fluids on the go, store my special jerk marinade for barbeques…pickle my fall veggies…or depending on what my needs are can be my compostable worm demonstration bottle, an insect collecting apparatus….uses vary, will know when I play with it, but will surely carry it everywhere :-)
Liked their fb page. I recall when you posted about funding this effort. Glad it worked out. I will use mine, among other things, for my dog’s kibble. It comes in a huge bag that is awkward to use. And I have had a mouse chew in to it. These jars will keep the kibble safe and fresh, plus it will easily pour out.
Liked the reCAP FB page. Look forward to following them. Definitely use it for my fresh ground coffee. Thanks
This will be great to use since I already use mason jars all the time for my juicing. Dont have one of your lids yet!
Really enjoying your blog. I made the freezer burittos today. Not sure if they will be a hit with the boys. Time will tell. Hopefully they’re all gone at the end of the weekend. Doing the PB&J the weekend. I love them and enjoy grabbing one when I’m working in the garden. Just hate having to stop, wash up, and drag all the stuff out ever time. Love the GRAB and GO. Thanks
Liked the facebook page. These would be perfect for the blackberry syrup I make for my grand daughters for the to use tn there oatmeal and pancakes!
I “liked” them. What a great concept. I plan to use my for surgar storage.
I liked this on FB, and I so hope I win! I’ll use them to take my iced tea EVERYWHERE, and will also use them to store my homemade salad dressings.
Oh these would be great for home made dressings and our family favorite pancake syrups made with apples and berries! I liked their page and look forward to trying one of these out (hopefully winning one! haha!)
‘Liked’ the page and would love these for drinks or other liquid leftovers (our other caps leak).
thank-you!
FB page liked
I would use them for anything that I currently now have vacuum-sealed. Once it’s open, I’d pop a pour spout on it and move it into my pantry.
I purchase certain products just for the glass jars and good lids. I would LOVE to use the reCAPS for my sundries and such that I store. Thank you for the opportunity to win. Blessings~
I am going to use this to put my homemade coffee creamer in to help pour easier.
And I Liked the recap facebook page!
New here and this is a great idea, I would like to order some, I am so not using plastic containers. I can, freeze, or dehydrate most of our food, so these look like a great solution to lids. Thanks Mary
I love this idea! I will be using mine for feeding my Humming birds. I also have canned my own grape juice, so these caps will work great .
FB page liked.
I would love to use these with maple syrup and homemade salad dressings.
I “liked” ReCap on facebook and I can think of TONS of uses for these! I would make pancake batter and use this to make pancakes first!
I liked recap and I will use one for the yummy stir fry sauce (thanks for the great recipe) and i’m still deciding how to use the other!
I liked reCaps FB and I would use mine to shake and drink my raw milk on the go.
I liked re Caps FB and I woudl use mine for maple syrup or any liquid I buy in bulk.What a great idea!
I’m liking these recap lids. We have so many mason jars in our garage from all of our homemade pickles. It’s about time we put some of the empties to good use. I’m sure we’d use them for dressings and sauces but as other people have said….the possibilities are endless.
i like, i like! this will be great for kombucha (post-brew)! spices, smoothies, flour…endless possibilities and new flexibility! :)
I have liked the reCAP Facebook page. This is the first time I’ve seen these lids and I really do like them. I’d love to be able to try some.
Ooops, I think I was suppose to leave this in my last comment. it’s early and I didn’t see clearly. LOL Anyway, I love making lemonades in teh summer and I really like drinking them out of mason jars. I would definitely use them when we go on our family picnics.
I will use the lid for taking my smoothies and kefirs and coffee drinks with me on the go to catch bees. I love glass so this is a perfect lid. Yesterday I had to unscrew the lid and screw it back for each sip as I was getting a pedicure for all the hard work I do. and dirty work. Woulda been nice to have this lid ;o)
I have liked them on fb… would use them for my salad dressings mostly :)
Liked on Facebook. These are so cool! I have LOTS of things stored in Mason Jars like chia and flax seeds I use every morning in my green monster. It would be so awesome to just pop open the lid and pour a few in the blender. Salad dressings, tea and coffee…the list is endless. Can’t wait to give some as gifts!
I liked them! I would use it either as a sippy cup or for dressings, etc. :o)
