Weck 745 Tulip Jars (Weck 745 // Wooden Lid)

I bought this Weck 745 tulip jar specifically for my sourdough starter after keeping it in an ugly plastic container for way too long. Best decision I've made for my baking setup. The wide mouth is a game-changer for feeding. I can easily get my hand in with a spatula to scrape down the sides and mix in the flour and water without the weird wrist angles I was doing with a narrow-mouth mason jar. The tulip shape (narrow at the neck, wide at the opening) means I get the benefits of a wide mouth without needing a massive jar taking up counter space. The glass is thick and high-quality - feels substantial, not flimsy. I can see my starter's rise and bubble activity clearly through the sides, which is helpful for timing my bakes. After a month of daily feedings, it's been through the dishwasher at least 15 times with zero issues. Here's the thing though: this is JUST the jar. No lid, no gasket, no clips. For a starter, that's actually fine - you don't want an airtight seal anyway. I just rest a small plate on top to keep dust out. But if you're expecting the full Weck preservation system, you'll need to buy those components separately. The size (745 model) is ideal for maintaining about 200g of starter. Not so big that it takes up half my counter, not so small that it overflows during an active feed. Honestly, it's nice having something attractive enough that I don't feel the need to hide it in a cabinet. My starter lives on the counter now and actually looks intentional. If you're tired of keeping your starter in random takeout containers, this is worth the upgrade. Only reason it's not getting used for actual canning is because I didn't realize the sealing components were sold separately. But for starter storage? It's perfect as-is.

I have a small Weck jar I bought years ago. At first I thought it was fussy with the separate latch springs but it is versatile, quality and looks nice. I use it often. I was looking for a nice glass jar for sourdough starter as a gift and chose this. I got one to give and one to keep. I'm happy with the purchase.

Perfect jar with open mouth to mix or clean. Used for sourdough starter. Clearly able to see the fermentation rise.

My girlfriend got these for sourdough starter, and she loves them. The size is perfect, the shape is nice for mixing, and the lid and seal work great if needed. She says she will never use another brand.

Perfect jar for my sourdough starter. And it looks good sitting there with that wonderful starter in it.

I ordered this jar for my sourdough discard. Perfect size. Good quality. I would order again.

I love the look and quality of the Weck Tulip Jar-it's sturdy, elegant and perfect for my sourdough starter storage. However, I'm not a big fan of the metal clips and the rubber gasket. The clips can be a bit tricky to handle, and the gasket doesn't always sit perfectly in place, which can make sealing a little frustrating. Still, its a beautiful and functional jar once you get the hang of it!

This is the 4th jar I have purchased to store my starter. I bought one for my boyfriend’s house to store my starter when I visit him. It’s easy to clean and to refresh the starter. I’m very happy with the product. Definitely would recommend this jar for easy of use, size and storage capacity.

I’m obsessed with wreck jars and this did not disappoint. It’s perfect for sourdough starter or really storing anything. Love the silicone lid as well. I just ordered a second!

By far this handy jar is perfect for my portion of sourdough feeding so I may bake in the morning. I measure about a table spoon of starter to 1/4 water and flour. Boom. Nearly full jar in the morning. No overflow. The glass lid with no seal, must allow air in just enough to create the perfect fermentation environment. Not to mention it is so elegant in design.

Este tarro fue recomendado especialmente para fermento de masa madre por su boca ancha y fácil acceso. Me gusta mucho y funciona de maravilla para lo que lo necesito. Es tal como se describe y la entrega fue muy rápida. Recomiendo este producto a cualquiera que haga pan.

I use this jar for my sourdough starter and it works very well. The wide mouth design makes it easy to stir my starter and feed it when necessary. The seal helps to keep anything out of it. Nice thick glass and amazing quality
