Product Information
Full details
The Kilner Storage Jar 1500ml 3-pack is an ideal solution for home cooks, gardeners, and pantry organizers who require a durable and airtight method to preserve or store large quantities of food. These jars excel at maintaining the freshness of dry goods, pickles, and preserves through a robust metal clip and rubber gasket system; however, users should be aware that the 1500ml size is substantial and may require dedicated shelf height to accommodate the vertical profile.

FAQs
Are these jars suitable for hot water bath canning?
Yes, Kilner jars are designed to withstand the temperatures required for standard home preservation and bottling processes.
Can I put these in the freezer?
Glass jars can crack in the freezer due to liquid expansion; it is generally recommended to avoid freezing them, especially when filled with liquids.
Do I need to replace the rubber seals?
Yes, the rubber seals will eventually lose elasticity and should be replaced if they show signs of cracking or hardening to maintain an airtight seal.
Are the metal clips rust-proof?
The clips are durable but can rust if left wet for extended periods. Always dry them immediately after washing.
What is the total height of the 1500ml jar?
The jars are approximately 23cm tall, but it is recommended to measure your specific shelf space to account for the clearance needed to flip the clip.
Troubleshooting
The jar does not seem airtight.
Check the rubber gasket for debris or cracks and ensure the metal clip is fully engaged and aligned.
The metal clip is stiff or difficult to open.
Apply a very small amount of food-grade lubricant to the hinge point, or ensure the clip is not being strained by overfilling the jar.
Condensation inside the jar.
Ensure contents are completely cooled before sealing, or check if the environment has high humidity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your jars for use, wash the glass bodies, clips, and seals in warm, soapy water. If you intend to use them for heat-processed preserving, ensure the jars are sterilized according to your recipe requirements. When assembling, ensure the rubber seal is clean and free of debris to allow for a proper vacuum seal.
Care instructions are straightforward: while the glass jars are dishwasher safe, it is recommended to hand-wash the metal clips and rubber seals to prevent oxidation and premature wear. When storing dry goods, keep the jars away from direct, harsh sunlight to maintain the quality of ingredients like tea or dried spices. Always dry the metal components thoroughly after cleaning to prevent surface rust.
