Makes the Perfect Lunch Box

Jessica Harlan's Mason Jar Lunches have reinvented the way meals are prepared. She shows readers how to use Mason jars to break up healthy travel meals into perfect pieces. Harlan takes all of your favorite recipes and customizes them to suit the fast-paced lifestyle with Mason Jars. In the excerpt below, she explains the many benefits of cooking with Mason jars.

There are many reasons why Mason Jars makes the perfect lunch box, but here are three:

• They're always available. You can find cans in supermarkets, kitchenware stores, discount stores, or online. You can even find vintage jars at garage sales and antique stores.
• They are easy to clean. Glasses don't stain or retain any flavor or odor, and the dishwasher is safe!
• They're safe. People worried about storing food in plastic can use glass bottles to relax. Glass is an inert substance, so even if heated, it won't soak chemicals into food.
