Baking in Mason Jars

   
Sometimes in producing a story I come across a surprising glitch. Case in point are these two images I recently shot for a story in Flea Market Style magazine. The glitch here was the fact that we found it is not recommended to bake in mason jars. After contacting the manufacturer we were told there's risk of the glass exploding during the baking process. Surprising to me since I baked the ones pictured here and have seen dozens of others do the same without any problems. But I suppose there are always exceptions.

  
So in an effort to protect public safety and the risk of liability we decided not to use these images. Of course, there are plenty of others I shot that made for a lovely story. I hope you're able to pick up a copy of the fall issue and sit back with a cup of coffee and enjoy it!

Would love to know your experience in baking with mason jars.
Any tips? Any tragedies?
