FAQs
What is the capacity of the Bodum Yohki Storage Jar?
The capacity of this jar is 0.25 liters, which is equivalent to approximately 8 fluid ounces.
Can I store liquids in this jar?
While the cork lid offers a good seal, it is not designed for long-term liquid storage and may not be completely leak-proof. It is best suited for dry goods.
Is the cork lid completely airtight?
The cork lid is designed to provide an effective seal that locks in freshness and helps keep contents dry. For highly sensitive items, always test the seal.
How should I clean the cork lid?
The cork lid is dishwasher safe. For best results and longevity, hand washing with mild soap and water followed by air drying is recommended.
Can I use this jar for spices?
Yes, this jar is excellent for storing spices, herbs, tea leaves, coffee beans, or other dry kitchen ingredients, as it prevents odor transfer and keeps them fresh.
What is borosilicate glass?
Borosilicate glass is a type of glass known for its low coefficient of thermal expansion, making it resistant to thermal shock. It is also strong, durable, and does not contain lead.
Where is this storage jar made?
The provided information does not specify the country of origin for this product.
Troubleshooting
Lid doesn't seal properly
Ensure the rim of the glass jar and the underside of the cork lid are clean and dry. The cork may need to be seated firmly by pressing down. If the cork appears warped, try hand washing and air drying it completely.
Jar has a residual odor
Although borosilicate glass is non-porous, deeply ingrained odors are rare. Try washing with a mild baking soda paste and water, rinse thoroughly, and air dry completely.
Glass appears cloudy after washing
This can be due to mineral deposits from hard water. Run a dishwasher cleaning cycle or hand wash with a vinegar solution, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
