FAQs
Is the Kilner jar freezer safe?
While the glass is high quality, it is not recommended to freeze items in glass jars, as expanding contents can cause the glass to crack.
Can I use these for hot water bath canning?
Yes, Kilner jars are suitable for preservation; however, always ensure you pre-heat the jar with warm water before filling with hot contents to prevent thermal shock.
Does the jar come with a seal?
Yes, each jar comes with the standard rubber gasket included.
How do I remove odours from the jar?
Because the jar is made of high-quality glass, it is naturally odour-resistant. A standard dishwasher cycle is usually sufficient to refresh the jar.
Are the clips made of rust-proof material?
The clips are made of high-grade stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion, but they should be dried thoroughly after washing to maintain their finish.
Can I replace the rubber seal?
Yes, replacement Kilner rubber seals are widely available if the original becomes worn or brittle.
Troubleshooting
The jar does not seem to have an airtight seal
Check the rubber gasket for debris or damage and ensure it is seated evenly around the entire glass rim.
The metal clip is difficult to lock
Ensure you are not overfilling the jar, which can put excessive pressure on the lid, or check that the wire is not bent out of shape.

- Pristine glass clarity allows for easy identification of contents
- Sustainable and reusable design reduces reliance on single-use plastic
- Dishwasher safe for convenient and hygienic cleaning

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best seal, clean the glass jar and the rubber seal in warm, soapy water before the first use. When filling the jar for preservation, leave a small "headspace" (the gap between the food and the lid) as recommended by your specific canning recipe.
To close, ensure the rubber seal is placed flat on the rim, position the lid, and flip the stainless steel wire clip over the lid until it snaps into the locked position. The jar is dishwasher safe, but it is recommended to remove the rubber seal and metal clip before washing to ensure the deepest clean. Avoid using abrasive sponges on the glass to maintain its clarity.
