Why can't they use paper, which at least will decompose? That is, if they have to use disposable at all. I don't have a family that big and I know I could round up 130 plates and bowls, between what I have and what my friends would loan me. And there the Duggars are with an industrial dishwasher that could get dishes clean in 2 seconds flat, with minimal water.

There's no end to the need in our communities, unfortunately.

Baking and putting a lid on while it's still hot to "seal" the jar (for storage at room temperature) is not the same as commercial processing or canning. It's considered "oven canning," which is not safe to do and not recommended by any current food safety organization, despite what an old cookbook or canning guide might tell you. This is why you have to use current safety information when handling food. Things change, after cases of food poisoning happen and the causes are pinpointed. Or after people have catastrophes with glass jars, and a statement about them has to be put out by the company that makes the jars.<br /><br />It's possible you're thinking of "gifts in a jar" such as dry cookie mixes or cake mixes. Again, not designed to be baked in the jar, but to be dumped into a mixing bowl with liquid ingredients, then baked on a cookie sheet or in a metal/Pyrex baking dish. The only thing in the jar then are the dry ingredients before baking, and the jar is used as a storage or gift jar only.<br /><br />8:55, The jars are not tempered baking glass the way Pyrex is. Sudden temperature changes can make the jars easily shatter. Cool room to hot oven to cool room again is an example of the kind of stress the glass in these jars is not designed to take. It's a glass shattering or a glass explosion waiting to happen. I've even had one shatter in a water bath canner - the way the jar is designed to be used - and it was a messy experience! Not much worse than hot broken glass mixed with hot water and hot food! <br /><br />The only time I've seen a recipe that might - emphasis on might - work is one that called for putting the jars in a water bath in the oven. That would help keep the jars from having sudden thermal shocks, but it's still risky business. Few if any recipes call for baking in a water bath. Most "jar" recipes I've seen say to bake in the oven (dry) as you normally would with any other recipe. That is what you can't do! And really, if you need to go to the lengths of using a water bath, why not just bake in something made for baking?<br /><br />Bottom line: Don't bake in canning jars. Even if you get lucky and the jar doesn't shatter, don't store the food at room temperature. Just because the lid might seal down as the jar cools doesn't mean you've killed all the microbes inside, which will have fun multiplying at room temperature until someone gets food poisoning...which is not fun. <br /><br />Please post this to further clarify this issue. Thanks.
