Nice jar, but be carful reassembling the lid to preserve its air-tightness
I make tortillas de harina for my family quite often, so I decided to buy this big glass jar to store the flour. I wanted an air-tight glass container to preserve the freshness and keep the bugs out. I was very pleased with this jar, especially with the "swish" sound when one hears closing the air-tight lid...until I washed the lid. I washed it by hand, disassembling the inside parts, and when I put it back together, the air-tightness
was gone and I just ended up with a loose lid and a silicon seal that served no purpose. I looked in the Qs&As and researched the Internet for instructions on how to reassemble the lid, but I found nothing. After fidgeting with it for a while, I was ready to toss the whole thing when I noticed the grooves in the inside round "thingy" that holds the knob in place. They're sort of "tracks" that hold top he silicon gasket in place. I carefully placed the gasket inside these tracks, I placed the lid on the jar, and I felt and heard the "swish". Mission accomplished! So be careful when you wash the lid. Note how it's assembled BEFORE taking it apart. I'm attaching a photo in case others have the same predicament. Yes, it's a nice jar. It's worth the investment.
