Jars with lids cutest of cool colors. One big downside on the lids, very quickly (4 uses, systematically washed by hand and not in the dishwasher) and eventually they are cracked up not being used. The lids found on yoghurt commercially are either too large or too small for these pots. So I no longer use these pots that require the cellophane to be closed. The book is well even though many recipes require fresh cheeses of gear other than my yogurt / cheese, it's a shame.
