FAQs

Are these jars suitable for hot water bath canning?

Yes, the thick glass construction is designed for standard home preserving methods like hot water bath canning.

What is the exact capacity of these jars?

These jars have a volume of 250ml.

Can I store dry spices in these?

Absolutely, the airtight seal makes them excellent for preserving the freshness of herbs, spices, and loose-leaf teas.

Are the lids rust-proof?

The lids are designed for food storage; however, to maintain their appearance and prevent corrosion, avoid leaving them submerged in water for extended periods.

Are these jars safe to put in the microwave?

The glass is generally heat-resistant, but we recommend removing the metal lid before using in a microwave.

Troubleshooting

Lid feels loose or does not seal properly

Ensure the rim of the glass is clean and free of food residue before twisting the lid tight; check that the lid is not dented.

Water spots on the glass after dishwasher cycle

Use a standard vinegar rinse cycle in your dishwasher or hand-wipe with a clean microfiber cloth once the cycle is complete.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Zeno jars, always inspect the glass rim for any chips before use, as this can break the airtight seal. When cleaning, the glass jars are dishwasher safe; however, it is best to wash the lids by hand with warm soapy water to prevent potential fading of the gingham finish over time. If using these for hot-fill canning, ensure you pre-heat the jars in hot water to prevent thermal shock before pouring in your preserves. Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
