FAQs
Are these jars dishwasher safe?
While the glass is generally dishwasher safe, it is recommended to hand wash the lids and metal clips to prevent corrosion and maintain the longevity of the rubber seals.
Can I use these for hot water bath canning?
Yes, these jars are suitable for traditional preserving, provided you follow standard sterilization procedures and ensure the seal is properly engaged.
What is the total weight of one empty jar?
The jars are quite substantial, designed for durability; however, always account for the added weight of your contents when planning your shelving capacity.
Are the rubber seals replaceable?
Yes, standard Kilner replacement rubber seals are compatible with these jars and should be replaced if they show signs of wear.
Can I store liquids in these jars?
Yes, the airtight seal makes them suitable for liquids, but ensure the clips are fully locked and the jar is stored upright to prevent leakage.
Troubleshooting
The lid is difficult to open
If a vacuum seal has formed, try running warm water over the metal clips or gently inserting a small non-metal tool under the seal to release the pressure.
The seal does not feel airtight
Ensure no food particles are trapped between the glass and the rubber gasket. If the gasket is worn, replace it with a new Kilner-compatible seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your jars for use, wash them in warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. If you are using them for hot preserving, ensure the glass is pre-warmed to prevent thermal shock. Always check that the orange rubber seal is clean and free of debris to ensure a perfect vacuum seal.
- Cleaning: Hand wash with a bottle brush to reach the base corners. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- Maintenance: Check rubber seals annually; if they become cracked or brittle, replace them immediately to maintain the airtight integrity of the jars.
