FAQs
Can these jars be used in a pressure canner?
Yes, the Familia Wiss jars are designed to withstand the pressures and temperatures involved in pressure canning.
Are the lids reusable?
While the glass jars are infinitely reusable, it is recommended to use new sealing discs for every canning project to ensure a perfect vacuum seal.
Are these jars freezer safe?
While they are very durable, it is best to avoid freezing them with liquid contents as expansion can cause the glass to crack.
What is the capacity of each jar?
Each jar in this set has a capacity of 1000 ml.
How do I clean the jars after use?
The jars are dishwasher safe, though hand washing with a bottle brush is recommended for thorough cleaning of the interior.
Can I use these for dry food storage?
Yes, they are excellent for storing grains, pasta, or dried herbs, though they are specifically engineered for canning purposes.
Troubleshooting
Seal failed to form after processing
Check the jar rim for any nicks or debris that may interfere with the seal and ensure the sealing disc was properly centered.
Difficulty removing the lid after cooling
Use a standard jar opener tool or gently pry the edge of the sealing disc to release the vacuum before forcing the ring off.
Cloudy residue on the glass
This is often caused by hard water deposits; soaking the jars in a solution of vinegar and water will restore clarity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using your Familia Wiss jars for the first time, ensure they are thoroughly cleaned and inspected for any chips or cracks, as even minor damage can compromise the seal. Always sterilize the glass jars and the metal sealing discs by boiling them or using a professional sterilizer before filling. To set up, fill the jar leaving appropriate headspace, place the sealing disc on the rim, and tighten the screw ring securely. After processing, allow the jars to cool naturally at room temperature before testing the seal. For long-term care, store the jars in a cool, dark place, and always remove the screw ring after the jar has fully cooled to monitor the vacuum seal over time.
