A Box of Jars is a cardboard box that holds 6 empty glass Jars and 6 Jar Lids. It is the easiest way to start preserving food, since every jar needs a lid and the box supplies both. The box weighs 1.5, a little less than the 1.8 that the loose jars and lids weigh together.
Boxes of jars are a fairly common find in house closets, attics and garages. Farm supply and garden stores stock them too. The Chef is the best occupation for cooking. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.
Cooking
The Open Box of Jars recipe empties the box into 6 Jars and 6 Jar Lids. Each jar and lid pair then goes into the Make Jar of Preserved Food recipe. That recipe also needs a knife, vinegar, salt and a little water.
One jar holds 6 Bell Peppers, 5 Broccoli, 5 Carrots, 4 Leeks, 4 Tomatoes, 3 Eggplants, 3 Potatoes, 2 Cabbages or 15 Radishes. A jar can also hold Fish Roe. A sealed jar of preserves keeps far longer than the fresh crop. A full box of jars can turn a large garden harvest into a winter store.
Loose jars and lids can be packed back into a box with the Pack 6 Jars in Box recipe. That needs 6 jars and 6 lids together.

A Box of Jars is a fairly common find in homes. Closets are the best place to look by far. Attic boxes and crates, bedroom crates, hallways and garage storage hold one less often. Garden stores and farm buildings carry them on counters, shelves and in boxes. Living rooms, storage units and kitchens turn one up only now and then.
