FAQs
Are these jars safe for hot canning?
While durable, these jars are primarily designed for storage, fermentation, and meal prep. Always follow standard canning safety procedures if using them for high-heat processing.
Can I put these jars in the microwave?
Yes, the glass is microwave safe, but you must remove the metal lid before heating.
What is the best way to clean the lids?
Hand wash the metal lids to prevent potential rust or damage to the finish, and ensure they are thoroughly dried after washing.
Are the labels waterproof?
The labels are designed to be durable, but excessive scrubbing under running water may degrade them over time.
What is the maximum temperature these jars can handle?
They are safe for standard freezer and dishwasher temperatures, but avoid extreme, rapid temperature shifts to prevent thermal shock.
Troubleshooting
Lid feels difficult to open
The rubber seal creates a strong vacuum; hold the jar firmly and pry the rubber gasket slightly to release the suction before twisting.
Rubber seal is trapping food residue
Remove the gasket from the lid and clean both with the provided sponge, ensuring they are completely dry before reattaching.
Chalk marker is difficult to wipe off
Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the label area; if residue remains, a small amount of vinegar on the cloth will remove stubborn chalk marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your jars, use the provided chalk pen and labels to mark contents before filling. For initial use, wash the jars and lids with warm soapy water using the provided sponge to remove any dust from manufacturing. The jars are dishwasher safe, though it is recommended to remove the rubber gaskets periodically to clean beneath them, preventing mold or residue buildup. When storing in the freezer, leave at least 1-2 inches of headspace to accommodate expansion. Always check the glass for hairline cracks before subjecting the jars to extreme temperature changes to ensure safety and longevity.
