Several years ago, before we even had an Ikea in Northern Ireland, it used to be a real novelty if you knew someone who was going to the mainland and making a stop at Ikea, as you used to look online at their stock and ask the person visiting Ikea to pick you up some items. One item that caught my eye a few years ago when my parents were making a trip across to England and visiting Ikea whilst there were these Ikea Slom Jars, which cost various prices according to the various capacity each holds. I own two of the 0.5 litre jars which cost 90p each, but you can get anything up to a 2 litre jar costing £2.69. The reason I requested my parents to pick up a ...  Read the complete review

The SLOM jar from Ikea is actually nothing like its strange name. I find it strange that all the products from Ikea have these weird names, but if it sells then why change it. I was given this glass jar as part of a birthday present as my sister had filled it full of sweets. --- The Jar --- The jar is made of glass which is about 4mm thick through-out. This makes the jar quite bulky but also gives it a strong and sturdy feel to it.

I bought five of these jars from Ikea before Christmas, I had no idea what I intended doing with them at the time but felt they would be useful.

In the end I used 2 of them to store dry food in, pasta in one and rice in the other, the others were filled with different things and given as presents, they are so useful you could use them for ...  Read the complete review

I own several of the Ikea Slom jars in various different sizes. The Slom range consists of a 0.5 litre jar at 90 pence, a 1 litre jar at 99 pence, a 1.8 litre jar at £1.89, a 2 litre jar at £2.69 and a 1 litre bottle at £1.99. All of the jars and the bottle are dishwasher safe. The jars and the bottle are transparent glass so that you can see the contents. The glass is really quite thick and substantial and so feels quite sturdy and decent quality. The slight downside to this, is that this then makes the jars quite heavy, especially depending on what you then choose to store in them. The jars have a hinged stainless steel opening and closing clasp ...  Read the complete review
