But beyond that, they’re great for storing and serving foods, too — their distinctive design is at home on both the dining table and the pantry. Here are some creative ideas for using Weck jars at home. Get inspired, then see more on our Pinterest board!

Store Keep your pantry organized by storing dry goods such as beans, grains and pasta in the jars. Choose larger jars for the items you use most often so you don’t have to keep refilling.
