FAQs
What are the dimensions of the jar?
The jar has a height of approximately 20cm (excluding the lid).
Is the glass jar dishwasher safe?
The glass jar is generally dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to maintain its quality and appearance. The cork lid should always be hand washed.
Can this jar be used for liquids?
No, this jar is specifically designed for storing dry goods. It is not suitable for liquids or perishable items.
How do I ensure an airtight seal with the cork lid?
For the best seal, ensure both the jar rim and the cork lid are clean and completely dry. Place the lid firmly on top of the jar. Occasional checking of the seal is advised.
What kind of maintenance does the cork lid require?
The cork lid should be wiped clean with a damp cloth and allowed to air dry thoroughly. Avoid soaking the cork in water.
Can I store spices in this jar?
Yes, you can store spices, though it is best suited for larger quantities of common pantry staples. For potent spices, the cork may absorb some aroma over time.
Is the ribbed texture purely decorative?
The ribbed texture adds decorative appeal with a rustic look, and it also provides a better grip when handling the jar.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not fit snugly.
Ensure the rim of the jar is clean and dry. Gently twist the cork lid to seat it properly. If the cork seems warped, allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
Jar feels sticky or has residue.
Wash the jar with warm water and mild dish soap. Use a non-abrasive sponge to remove any residue. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
Cork lid has a faint odor.
Wipe the cork with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Avoid harsh cleaning agents, which can damage the cork.
Glass appears cloudy after washing.
This may be due to mineral deposits from hard water. Try washing with a mixture of white vinegar and water, or use a dishwasher detergent specifically designed for hard water. Ensure thorough rinsing.
