FAQs

Are the jars dishwasher safe?

Can I use these jars for canning?

Yes, these jars are suitable for canning small batches of fruits and vegetables. Ensure proper sterilization and follow canning guidelines.

What is the lifespan of the vacuum seals?

The lifespan of the vacuum seals depends on usage and care. Inspect them regularly and replace them if they show signs of wear or damage.

How do I sterilize the jars?

You can sterilize the jars by boiling them in water for 10 minutes or using the sanitize cycle on your dishwasher.

Can I use these jars for cold storage?

Yes, these jars can be used for cold storage. However, ensure the contents are cooled before sealing to prevent a vacuum from forming during cooling which can weaken the seal.

What kind of lids do these jars have?

The jars come with a two-piece lid system consisting of a replaceable vacuum seal and a metal screw band.

How do I prevent rust on the screw bands?

Dry the screw bands thoroughly after washing to prevent rust. Store them in a dry place when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Jar won't seal properly.

Ensure the lid is clean, the vacuum seal is correctly placed, and the screw band is tightened securely. Check for any damage to the lid or jar rim. The jar must be filled with hot contents for proper sealing.

Lid becomes difficult to remove.

If the lid is difficult to remove, it may be due to the vacuum seal. Carefully pry up the edge of the lid with a spoon or bottle opener to break the seal. Avoid excessive force to prevent damage.

Rust on the screw band.

Rinse and dry the screw band immediately after washing the jar to prevent rust. Replace the screw band if rust is excessive or impairs its function.

Cloudy appearance after washing.

If the jar appears cloudy after washing, it may be due to hard water deposits. Use a vinegar and water solution to clean and remove any deposits. Thoroughly rinse and dry.
