I got mine in great plastic jars and have had no problems with the lids. They are GREAT! I've paid a lot in the grocery stores for rubs and these are just as great for a lot less. I will say they are strong - so a little goes a long way. I've tried them all and love them - from chicken, pork and beef. There was so much in each bottle, I was able to share with my daughter who loves rubs and still had plenty for us. Can't recommend them enough. Will probably purchase another set and just put in the freezer to keep til I run out! Thanks for the great product.

I love rubs and spices and ordered this when HSN had free shipping! I was a little worried about the tops being hard to open based on the previous reviews. They were hard to open but my resolve was to use one of the rubber discs top openers and problem solved. I am glad that I didn't let the opening of the tins stop me from ordering. Great product!

I was not able to open can & I was desperate so I used a can opener. Rubs are great but Jamie needs to go back to the drawing board regarding lid issue.

I'm sure these spices are wonderful but even with the new tops, they are still difficult to open. I've finally managed to get 4 of them opened. The one I really was anxious to try, the brown sugar won't open. I've tried everything to get the lid off. Perhaps a celophane cover over the spices would help. Then the lid would not have to be put on so tightly. I'm afraid to order again.

THE CANS ARE A LITTLE DIFFICULT TO OPEN. IF YOU ROTATE THE LID BACK AND FORTH WHILE PULLING UP (GENTLY) IT WILL HELP. THE POULTRY SEASONING IS FANTASTIC; HOWEVER THE "ORIGINAL RUB" IS LOADED WITH SALT. MIGHT WANT TO ADD ABOUT 3 PARTS MORE OF EACH OF THE INGREDIENTS TO OVERCOME THE SALT ISSUE. STILL A GREAT DEAL!

I love to cook and when I first get these spices, I used them the next day on my chicken and baked them in the oven, and my family loved it. I used each spice on different meats like pork chops, ribs, roast chicken, roast beef, hamburger meat, and I also used it on steaks. Thank you so much Chef Jamie for your spice MYSELF AND THE FAMILY LOVED IT VERY MUCH and Please keep making them and dont every stop, I THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH I ENJOYED WITH MY FAMILY.

I have been waiting for them to come back in stock. I bought 3 sets so I won't run out. I have a number of spice rub blends but these are the most flavorful and versatile.
I've found that if you twist/turn the lids as you gently lift up they are no problem to remove. I've never had a problem this way. Remember the tighter they fit, the fresher it keeps the spices!!

These rubs are just excellent! I can't believe the price-they come out to under $4 each! A price like that is unheard of for this amount of such great spices. I especially like the poultry and the brown sugar/cracked pepper ones, but all are very good. They really give your food an extra "kick".

Jamies spice rub, I found them very nice flavor. My only complant is that you can not open the containers without having the spices all over the kitchen floor, that's if you can open them up at all. This product really needs to be in a more manageable container.

The flavorings are all good, but my only complaint is that the jars are hard to open. Sometimes when I can open the cans, the spices fly all over the place. This prevents me from using it more often. But they are good.
