Product Information
Full details
The Kilner 500ml Glass Lunch Pot is an ideal solution for commuters, students, and health-conscious individuals who prioritize fresh, organized meals on the go. Its primary benefit is the clever dual-compartment design that prevents soggy salads or mushy toppings, though potential users should note that the glass construction makes it heavier than plastic alternatives and requires careful handling to avoid breakage.

FAQs
Can I put this jar in the microwave?
No, this glass lunch pot is not designed for microwave use and should only be used for cold or room-temperature foods.
Is the stainless steel cup leak-proof?
The cup is designed to sit securely inside the jar, but it is best suited for thick dressings or dry ingredients rather than thin liquids.
How do I clean the jar effectively?
The wide mouth allows you to use a standard dish brush or a sponge to reach the bottom easily. The glass base is also dishwasher safe.
Can I store hot soup in this jar?
This product is primarily intended for cold snacks, oats, and salads; it is not recommended for boiling hot liquids.
Are the components BPA-free?
Yes, Kilner glass products are made from natural materials and do not contain BPA.
Troubleshooting
The lid feels difficult to tighten or seal.
Check the rim of the glass jar for any food residue or chips that might be preventing a proper seal and clean the threads thoroughly.
Spork keeps falling off during transit.
Ensure the spork attachment clip is firmly pressed against the curvature of the jar and that the silicone grip is clean and dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Kilner Lunch Jar, ensure that the silicone seals are properly seated before transport to prevent leaks. The glass base is safe for dishwasher use, but it is recommended to hand-wash the stainless steel cup and spork to maintain their finish.
Do not subject the glass jar to sudden extreme temperature changes, such as placing it directly from a freezer into boiling water, as this can cause thermal shock. The jar is designed for cold or room-temperature food storage; avoid using it in the microwave or oven as it is not tempered for heating applications.
