FAQs

Are these jars dishwasher safe?

Yes, the glass jars are dishwasher safe, but it is recommended to remove the rubber seal and metal clip before washing.

Can I use these for pressure canning?

No, these clip top jars are intended for home storage and traditional preserving, not for high-pressure industrial canning methods.

What are the dimensions of each jar?

Each jar measures 18 cm in height and 11 cm in width.

How do I know if the seal is truly airtight?

A properly sealed jar should offer resistance when you attempt to lift the lid without releasing the clip.

Can I buy replacement rubber seals?

Yes, replacement rubber seals in the standard size for Kilner jars are widely available through kitchenware retailers.

Troubleshooting

Jar seal feels loose

Ensure the glass rim is clean and the rubber gasket is seated perfectly flat against the rim.

Metal clip is difficult to close

Do not force the lever; ensure the rubber seal is not bunched up and that the jar is not overfilled.

Condensation inside the jar

This often occurs if contents were warm when sealed; ensure all ingredients have fully cooled to room temperature before sealing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare your jars for first use, wash them thoroughly in warm soapy water and rinse well. Do not pour boiling water directly into the jars, as this can cause thermal shock and lead to cracking. When filling, leave a small amount of headspace at the top of the jar to allow for expansion.

To ensure the rubber seal functions correctly, always check that the rim of the glass jar is free from chips and food debris. If the seal becomes stiff or brittle after long-term use, replace it with a new rubber ring of the correct size to maintain the airtight integrity of your jars.
