I'm not familiar with this sort of thing. Does it require power to work? 
Do you have a link to what you are talking about, because I sure don't 
think I've seen one locally that says anything about using jars, which 
sounds pretty nice to me. Plastic, nearly any kind of plastic, makes 
food taste of plastic to me. I hate it, even though I will use it to 
cover dishes and such where it won't touch the food.
