FAQs

Are these jars freezer safe?

While the glass is durable, we do not recommend placing these jars in the freezer as the expansion of contents can cause the glass to crack.

Can I use these for hot water bath canning?

Yes, Kilner jars are designed for preserving, but always ensure you follow standard food safety procedures and allow the glass to reach room temperature before processing.

Are the rubber seals reusable?

Yes, the rubber seals are designed to be reused; however, they should be inspected before each use and replaced if they show signs of cracking or stretching.

How tall is each jar?

Each 1-litre jar stands at approximately 18 cm in height.

Do these jars contain BPA?

No, Kilner glass jars are made from high-quality glass and are BPA-free, ensuring no chemicals leach into your food.

What is the width of the jar?

The jars measure 11 cm in width.

Troubleshooting

The jar seal feels loose

Check the orange rubber gasket for debris or wear; if it has lost its elasticity, replace the seal to restore the airtight function.

Metal clip is difficult to close

Ensure the rubber seal is seated perfectly flat in the groove and that the jar is not overfilled, which can prevent the lid from closing fully.

Cloudy residue on glass

This is likely mineral buildup from hard water. Soak the jar in a mixture of warm water and white vinegar, then rinse thoroughly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Airtight design preserves freshness effectively
  • High-quality glass material is food-safe and non-porous
  • Stylish vintage aesthetic with embossed branding
  • Versatile for both dry storage and liquid preservation
  • Reusable and eco-friendly alternative to plastic containers

Cons

  • Glass material is breakable and requires careful handling
  • Hand washing is recommended to protect the metal clip mechanism
  • Replacement rubber seals may be needed after long-term wear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before using for preserves, ensure the glass is sterilized in warm, soapy water and rinsed thoroughly. To assemble, place the rubber seal onto the glass lid, align the lid with the jar neck, and depress the metal clip until it snaps firmly into place. While the glass jars are dishwasher safe, it is highly recommended to wash the metal clip and rubber seal by hand to prevent rusting and to maintain the integrity of the elastic seal. Avoid using abrasive sponges on the glass to prevent surface scratching.
