I love these jars.  I didn't buy these jars for canning purposes.  I was looking for jars to make my daily oatmeal breakfast in.  These are the only ones (perhaps due to the rounded-in shape) that I can reheat in the microwave and doesn't spill over.  I fill them about halfway with precooked steel cut oatmeal and heat them up for 2 minutes in the morning.  I am not a big breakfast person, but making my own "to-go" oatmeal ensures I do eat something healthy everyday.

Since I have extra jars, I found myself grabbing these to portion out my lunches.  I will pack my make-ahead noodles, pasta, rice, etc, and store them in the fridge.  This way, I don't overeat.  I suppose I can do the same with Pyrex too, but I already have them around the house.  Also, these don't have the annoying two part lids like the other Mason jars.
