Dropped glass jar, it didn't break, should I still use it?

[tulips27]

A jar of passata (one of the half size ones, not a massive one) fell from counter height onto the hard tiled floor but miraculously didn't break or crack. From the outside it looks fine. Would you keep it or chuck it?

I can’t understand why you would throw it out? It’s not broken.

So it didn't break or crack? Why would you bin it

Did the seal break on the lid? If not it's fine.

I bought it to keep (I had a thread on longlife veggie food for the cupboards not to long ago) so I was wondering if it might go off. And also if the glass could kind of shear on the inside, I suppose?

I'd use it. Idk why you'd think to chuck it if it's intact

Oh. Don't know. If it's crunchy when you eat it, spit it out ;)

🤨🧐

If you can't see a break then it's fine, I would definitely use it. I drop stuff all the time!

😃

All right, I think I'll use it but sooner rather than later. I needed to try it out anyway to see if it's a nice one or not before I buy more .

@tulips27 : maybe this is obvious but when it’s time to use it empty it into a bowl and then check the jar has no chips/breaks (v unlikely) rather than just tipping the contents into your pan

It's not going to break from the inside surely

Just check the seal didn't pop when you dropped it, if you're planning to store it a while.

I would probably use it straight away, in case the seal popped.

@BeanStew22 You are a GENIUS! Thank you! 😊

This is one of the most insane / inane posts I have ever seen on here. And that’s saying something

At least I don't clean my loo brush in the dishwasher! 😬

@Eddieisadick : not sure why you’d think checking you are not feeding your family glass slivers is so foolish …
