Cold Soaking Jars

Solid. Flat bottom. Great seal. No sharp lip. These jars are a significant improvement over the upcycled peanutbutter jar I was using.

Simple but effective

Winning cold soaking jars are also great for hot soaking. No need to eat cold overnight oats, ramen, or beans and rice. Just add boiling water to these jars and PRESTO!!! hot breakfast, lunch or dinner in just 10 minutes. I used a sharpie to mark measurements on the outside.

I am very happy with the size, design and ease of use of the cold soak jar I purchased. The wide open, smooth sided container design makes it easy to get the food out. It’s the perfect size for a single Al for me.

I nested a medium into an XL and used the M to drink out of while eating a meal out of the XL. The seals are great & I especially love how easy these jars are to clean.

Good quality, leak proof, low weight, reasonable cost !

Good variety of sizes, stronger than expected, and easy to clean. We accidentally put one of the containers in the dish washer, pinned against the rack posts. The heat warped that one, but somehow it still retains fluid without leaking even after my hulk-like strength shook the Loki out of if hit, and left it sitting upside down for hours... and don't get me started on the affordability. We will be buying more.

Just what I was looking for. I love to cold soak but sometimes my friends offer me hot water when camping. This allows me to have a tea or a hot meal when hot water is available.

Flat bottomed, smooth internal surface, great seal, no leaking, lightweight: Perfect!

Talenti jar was a too small for some of my meals. This fits my needs and has a good better lid seal.

Looks like it will work great on trail. Got a spare lid drilled holes in it to use as a strainer.

Getting ready to start SOBO AT through hike early June and wanted to try cold soaking

Tried a variety of jars, but this one satisfies my needs for cold soaking without sacrificing the clean-up. No threads or divots in the jar to impede cleaning the inside after the meal. The lid seals well too, which oddly wasn't the case with some recommended jars.

These don't leak (unlike the PB jars I've been using). Plus as described, they are easier to get all the food out of. I bought two sizes for different foods, but the Large is better. I can get a whole meal in it with a risk of overflowing. Funny how much I feel comforted by these containers!

These are nice lightweight cold soaking jars

I use this for cold soaking foods, cold brewing coffee & tea, shaking protein powder with water (it doesn’t leak) and sometimes just food storage. It works perfectly for all of these and keeps my gear inventory low & light! Hoorah! Life is good.

This jar hadn’t leaked even though I use it daily to thoroughly shake my protein powder. It’s better than plastic jars I have been able to find as part of food or merchandise packaging that I’ve seen over a couple of years. Also, it’s hard to buy a jar or two online, especially those described in adequate detail. I think buying from litesmith is one of your more efficient options, even if you might think the world throws enough polypropylene at you that surely such jars might be available for a fraction of the price. Perhaps … if you bought at least ten or a hundred.

Just right to fit in my pack. Bought 2 jars for my wife and I. Great product.

If you intend to cold soak, you won't find a better container anywhere than the Litesmith jars. They are light weight, tough, translucent, easy to eat out of and easy to clean!

I purchased the Large Cold-Soaking Jars 20 oz (600 ml). The shipping was super fast, and the jars are an absolute quality product. Perfect flat bottom, large 3 11/16 " opening and clear. New to the world of "Cold-Soaking", I found these jars go best with a product by Humangear called "GoBites Click Spoon." The spoon fits right inside the (600 ml jar), also I purchased an extra jar, just drill some holes in the lid and "Ta-da" you have a cold-soak strainer. Thank you Litesmith.com for an awesome product.

I have been spent years looking for containers that would allow me to carry a cold soak jar that doesn't leak, and allow me to make a hot meal on colder mornings / evenings FInally found it - Thank you

The 600 ml size nests perfectly in a 500 ml pot/cup (GSI brand, ~3.7 inch inner diameter), is big enough for re-hydrating my typical meals, and is easy to keep clean. When you're done you can also store a 110 g fuel canister, lighter, etc in the jar and use the lid to hold everything in place without rattling around.

I bought the 16oz and it’s a perfect size. No leaks at all, and worth the price to have a cleaner profile inside than the free gelato jars. Thank you!

I purchased 3 sizes over the past few months & love them. I use them for cold soaking food. The wide mouth makes it easy to fill, mix & eat from. The jars do not leak & are light weight. Some sizes nest well. Check internal/external dimensions.

These containers are awesome. Even if you don't cold soak, they serve as a perfect, lightweight container for eating meals. Doubles as a 24 ounce water storage container. A good technique is to save weight by putting all your freeze dried in ziplock bags. Use these containers to soften the freeze dried with hot or cold water.

The jar is great for cold-soaking. The lid does not leak. Just bottom is smooth & flat.

The headline says it all. No groves, no dimples, no ridges, nothing to get in the way of your spoon searching for yummy morsels and nothing to make cleaning harder or nearly impossible. Fits into my Mountain Laurel Designs 520mm Titanium cup and weighs 3 grams less than my other jar. The weight saved isn’t a big deal but the ease and thoroughness of cleaning really is! Good job, Litesmith! And thanks for the fast delivery.

Great container for cold soaking. The lid was tight with no leaking and the straight sides and even bottom made eating (and clean up) a breeze!

What’s to even think about? This product is inexpensive, and it works. It seals so there are no leaks. The peanut butter jar might, or might not. Is that a chance you want to take? I ordered on a Saturday, and it went into the mail that day. Great product, and great service. What else can I say?

I’ve enjoyed cold soaking in Talenti jars for a few years now. To cut to the chase, the XL jar is a game changer. Just order it. You’ll be glad you did. It gets a great deal of use in the backcountry and around my home.

I got these for cold soaking but also for foraging. I do a lot of foraging for plants I can turn into tinctures. These plastic jars are way easier to bring with me than glass jars and I don't have to worry that I'll stab myself and destroy my gear if I slip on a hillside and fall on my pack.

Great jar. The straight edge lip is much better to eat out of than my peanut butter jar. 775ml is the right size for hiker hunger on long trails where I'd be fixing something like two ramen packs or a whole Idahoan pack plus some protein. The lid liner is nice to prevent leaks, but I had concerns about keeping it clean long-term as it's glued in to the lid, and liquid will undoubtedly seep underneath. This was easily rectified by pulling up the outer edge of the liner and yanking it free. There were four glue dots on the lid which were easily scraped off. Now the liner can be popped back in where it’s still fully functional and removed easily when washing it to get underneath.

After years of recycling of types of containers I came across and found them to be the best I've used. Straight side walls, easy of clean, and no leaking, what more could you ask for. I like the 16oz size the best as it is the right diameter for my hand.

I ordered the extra large. Worked great for adding water and placing in pack to soften freeze dried food. Lightweight and tight seal.

Seal tight No aftertaste Super easy to clean-way better than nut butter jars Durable

... and grab some of these. Much better grade of plastic than the commercial food jars. Due to human error on my part, I ended up with a Medium and an X Large. But in the end I win because the Medium will nest inside the X Large. How cool is that. Highly recommended. Litesmith really did their homework to find these.

Much better shape than a peanut butter jar. The 16 oz size came in at 1.7 oz on my scale. Okey Dokey for your cold soaky. Should be delightful. Next up, the bar only diet, about 12 bars a day, 1.8 oz/210 cal each on average. Six days of food in three medium Loksaks, 8.1 pounds.

Delivered on time. It exceeded my expectations upon first impressions. Best cold soaking jar out there. I went with the 26oz. Perfect size for long hauls and the needed calorie intake. Litesmith wins this round.

Want an 12oz, 16oz, 20oz or 26oz round and spill proof container with an easy screw-on lid, look no further than cold-soaking jars. They are extremely lightweight, too. Highly recommended.

Simple and straightforward product. The polypropylene can handle boiling water without melting compared to the plastic in Talenti jars. Really like how easy it is to clean. Arrived very quickly.

Works great, much easier to clean out than a peanutbutter jar. The one I ordered got destroyed by the postal service and litesmith sent me a new one free of charge immediately no questions asked. A++
