The ice cream maker, the spiraliser, the smoothie maker - we've had them all. But the one trend that continues to shake up the food world is the low-key mason jar. Mason jars are the most multi-purpose objects around, may it be for homemade jams and marmalades or for keeping your spices airtight or your chopped greens fresh. Although Mason jars have definitely had their moment, they are not going away anytime soon. One cannot get on Pinterest without seeing a Mason jar being used at a wedding. There are even mason jars repurposed as lanterns and soap dispensers. And the best part? They are free of BPA (Bisphenal A) and the lids even keep liquids from spilling.
