FAQs

Are these jars safe for water bath canning?

Yes, they are specifically designed for the canning and preserving process.

Can I reuse the metal discs?

No, it is recommended to use new sealing discs for each canning batch to ensure a safe, airtight vacuum seal.

Are the jars dishwasher safe?

The glass jars are dishwasher safe, but it is recommended to hand-wash the metal lids and bands to prevent rust.

What is the capacity of each jar?

Each jar has a capacity of 400ml.

Can I use these for pressure canning?

Kilner jars of this style are primarily intended for water bath canning of high-acid foods; they are not typically recommended for high-pressure canning.

Troubleshooting

Vacuum seal failed to form

Check that the rim of the jar was clean and free of debris, ensure the metal disc was not damaged, and verify that the screw band was tightened correctly before processing.

Rust appearing on screw bands

Ensure bands are completely dried after washing and stored in a low-humidity environment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a proper vacuum seal, always use a fresh metal sealing disc for each new canning project, as the compound on the rim is designed for single-use to maintain safety. Before filling, inspect the jar rim for any chips or cracks, as these will prevent the seal from forming. Clean the jars by hand with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly; while the glass is dishwasher safe, the metal bands should be hand-washed and dried immediately to prevent rust. Store the jars in a cool, dark place once the seal is confirmed to maintain the color and quality of your preserved foods.
