When acrylic beats glass

Acrylic looks like glass from across the room and weighs a fraction of it. It is the jar for a counter a child can reach, a candy table at a party, or an office where the jar gets carried from desk to desk.

Most jars on this shelf come in sets of two, three, four or six, in matching or graduated sizes, so a candy bar or a pantry shelf lines up. A few close with a gasket and a latch; the rest have a lid that lifts off.

Acrylic scratches where glass does not. Wash it with a soft cloth, keep it away from the oven, and check the label before it goes in a dishwasher: some of these jars say yes, others ask for hand washing.

These 13 jars are part of the jars at Cookie Jar, from $8.89 to $48.99 at the last catalog update, so you can set a budget before you pick a shape.

Questions

About acrylic and unbreakable cookie jars

Is an acrylic cookie jar better than glass for your counter?

It is lighter and it does not break, which matters on a counter a child can reach or on a party table. Glass resists scratches better and can usually take hotter water.

How do you clean an acrylic cookie jar without scratching it?

Warm water, a drop of dish soap and a soft cloth. Skip scouring pads and check the card before the jar goes in a dishwasher.
