Jars from Amazon

I'm planning on buying some jars for pf tek so they can't be tapered at the top. I've found these two links so far:
http://www.amazon.com/Jarden-Home-Brands-Mouth-Canning/dp/B0000BYD0F/ref=sr_1_1?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1302815061&sr=1-1
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LNW8Z6
However, the picture and description does not say whether or not these jars are tapered. Has anyone purchased these jars before and are they suitable for pf tek purposes? Thank you!

You want the wide mouth jars, those are the non tapered ones

Did you see the "Frequently Bought Together" items on that first link?

That first link, though drawn a little off looks about right. That second link is not what you need.

They are kerr wide mouth half pints. I have two cases in my kitchen right now. Oh yeah they are tapered. Ball no longer makes a wide mouth half pint in that style so a lot of places offer these as an alternative. Many feed and hardware stores have em just ask for half pint jelly jars. That way you can save paying shipping.

Yeah... I got mine at ace and wally world. You want Kerr brand (which is made by Ball), not Ball. I have no idea who Jarden is, but their picture is of a Kerr jar.

dude, even with free shipping those are way overpriced. 9-11 bucks is probably your ballpark

Biggest thing is to make sure there is no "Lip" on the jar. So the outer diameter of the jar cannot be bigger than the top. Otherwise when you try to birth your cake, it wont come out, it will be stuck in there. Even if the jars you get are straight wall, you will probably be fine as the cakes will shrink a bit.

Yes, that was what I was saying. The only exception is quart jars which use wide mouth lids and are tapered. but you don't have to worry about quarts for pf tek.

I got those same ones man and they are both tapered and wide mouth and work perfectly and the right size. Sometimes it comes up as a drawing or sketch of the jar and sometimes as the box. The key is to look at the shipping dimensions. The ones with 3" are the short ones, the ones with 4" are the skinny longer ones.
