FAQs
Are these jars suitable for pressure canning?
These jars are designed for pantry storage of preserves and dressings. We recommend checking specific canning instructions, but they are primarily intended for standard sealing.
Can I put these jars in the dishwasher?
While the glass is dishwasher safe, it is highly recommended to hand wash the metal lids to prevent potential rust or damage to the finish.
How do I ensure the jar is airtight?
Properly sterilization and ensuring the lid is screwed on firmly while the contents are still warm can help create a stronger vacuum seal.
What is the capacity of each jar?
Each jar has a 450ml volume, making them perfect for standard portions of jams, honey, or dry spices.
Can I reuse these jars?
Yes, these jars are reusable. Ensure they are thoroughly cleaned and sterilized between uses and replace lids if the seal integrity is compromised.
Troubleshooting
Lid feels loose or does not seal tightly
Ensure no food residue is caught on the jar rim or the inner seal of the lid. Wipe both surfaces clean and re-apply.
Glass appears cloudy after cleaning
This is often due to hard water deposits. Wipe the glass with a mixture of white vinegar and water to restore clarity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure food safety and longevity, follow these care steps:
- Sterilization: Always submerge or wash the jars in hot, soapy water and sterilize them in a low-temperature oven or boiling water before adding any food.
- Filling: Leave a small amount of headspace at the top of the jar to allow for expansion if the contents are hot.
- Sealing: Ensure the threads of the glass jar and the metal lid are clean and dry before screwing on the cap to guarantee a proper airtight fit.
- Cleaning: Hand washing with a bottle brush is recommended to preserve the finish of the metal lids and the clarity of the glass. Avoid using abrasive sponges that may scratch the surface.
