FAQs
Are these jars dishwasher safe?
The glass jars are generally dishwasher safe, but we recommend hand-washing the lids to preserve their finish and integrity.
Can I use these for hot water bath canning?
These jars are ideal for standard food storage; however, for rigorous water bath canning, ensure you follow specific glass-safe heat guidelines and temperature moderation to prevent thermal shock.
What is the diameter of the jar opening?
The opening is designed for easy scooping and filling, suitable for most standard kitchen utensils and funnels.
Do the jars come with labels?
No, labels are not included, but the smooth glass surface is perfect for applying your own decorative adhesive labels.
Can these be stored in the freezer?
We recommend against placing glass jars directly in the freezer as the expansion of contents can cause the glass to crack; if freezing, always leave significant headspace.
Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to screw on tight.
Ensure the rim of the jar is free from food residue or sticky debris, as even a tiny amount can prevent a tight seal.
Contents are leaking.
Verify that the lid is threaded correctly and not cross-threaded, and ensure the rubber seal inside the lid is seated properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Argon Tableware jars perform correctly, follow these maintenance steps:
- Sterilization: Before adding any food, submerge the glass jars in boiling water for at least 10 minutes to eliminate bacteria.
- Filling: Leave a small headspace at the top of the jar (approximately 1cm) to allow for expansion if you are freezing or canning contents.
- Lid Care: Hand-wash the black lids with warm, soapy water and dry them completely to prevent oxidation or rusting over time.
- Storage: Store filled jars in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight to maintain the freshness and color of your preserves.
