Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2IIP5ZVAXM363 This is the perfect size for the batch of Kimchi I make every month or so. It also keeps rice, salt, sugar, etc. Not only that versatility, the blue lid is also pretty. As you can see, it's easy to open, when upside down it doesn't leak, and the glass is well-made. The Kimchi is half-full now so I'm due to make another batch soon! Purchased April 14, 2011. I own two of them. Hope you can enjoy them too. OkSiPak :)

This high-quality Italian-made jar is just beautiful. I bought it to store small amounts of natural yeast starter, and it is just the right size. It may not be big enough for some starters, though. Since I don't think I'll want more than 6 cups of starter at any one time, I think it will be just right for my purposes. There are other Bormioli jars which are bigger that may be better suited for some starters.
I've uploaded some pictures, and one of them does show the 11" danish dough whisk. That does *not* mean the whisk comes with the jar; you're buying *only* the jar when you purchase this listing. I showed it with the whisk, though, to address the one reviewer who said it doesn't fit. Perhaps she was using the 14" danish dough whisk instead, because you can clearly see that my 11" whisk fits down into the jar without issue. I'll use it to stir the starter.
When the lid is clasped shut, the jar is a little over 8 1/2" tall. It's a 4" square jar (with a round lid), but the clasp adds about 1 1/2" to one dimension; so realistically, it's 4" by about 5 1/2". The opening of the jar is just under 3 1/2" (ID). Plenty big enough to accommodate the 11" danish dough mixer, but definitely not big enough for the large whisk.
The extremely tight-fitting lid with its gasket makes this jar suitable for storing any product that needs protection from bugs or moisture. For starters, the lid should be left ajar during certain times, to allow air in and gases to escape. It could be dangerous to close it up tightly when the gases need released.
The jar comes "unassembled", as it were; you have to put the gasket on after you wash the jar. It's in the bottom of the jar during shipment and the lid is protected by a piece of paper with the Bormioli logo. The sticker on the lid is one that removes very easily and doesn't leave any sticky residue. You peel that off and wash and dry the jar and gasket and put the gasket on the lid. The metal mechanism wasn't centered, but it's movable so I just turned it a bit and it lined up to the center.
Very nice product, and I'm sure I'll be buying more (I have 6 of the 2 liter jars for storing homemade dry baking mixes and they're great, too). I like that they're all square, since they take up less space that way. I'm a little bummed that I had to pay 3 dollars more than what it's selling for now, but it's okay. I think it's worth the money I paid since it is a sturdy jar that will undoubtedly last many years.

I use this jar for My sourdough bread starter.
It is big enough and gives Me room to " feed the starter .
Actually recommended to Me by the person who gave Me the starter and uses the same jar.
