Product Information
Full details
The Kilner Wide Mouth Preserve Jar 200ml is an ideal storage solution for home cooks and food enthusiasts looking to preserve small batches of fruits, vegetables, or pantry staples. Its primary benefit is the 2-piece vacuum-seal system, which locks in freshness and extends the shelf life of your ingredients, though users should note that the metal lid components require manual hand-washing to prevent corrosion.

FAQs
Can I put these jars in the freezer?
While the glass is high quality, it is generally recommended to avoid extreme temperature shocks. If freezing, leave plenty of headspace for expansion.
Are the lids BPA-free?
Yes, all components of the Kilner Wide Mouth Preserve Jar are BPA-free.
Can I purchase replacement discs for these jars?
Yes, Kilner offers replacement discs, which are standard for the wide-mouth sizing.
Can I use these jars for dry storage?
Absolutely. While designed for preserving, they are excellent for spices, herbs, or small portions of dry ingredients.
Is the 200ml capacity measured to the brim?
The volume refers to the capacity to the brim; it is recommended to leave some space at the top when preserving to allow for the seal.
Troubleshooting
The lid did not seal properly.
Check the rim of the jar for any chips or debris. Ensure the disc and band were correctly positioned and not tightened beyond finger-tight.
The metal band is showing signs of rust.
Rust usually occurs if the band is left in a damp environment or through a dishwasher cycle. Replace the band and ensure all future washings are done by hand.
Difficulty unscrewing the band after sealing.
Run the band under warm water to expand the metal slightly, which should help release the grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve a proper vacuum seal, sterilize the glass jar according to standard canning practices. Fill the jar leaving appropriate headspace, place the tin disc on top, and tighten the screw band until finger-tight. After processing, allow the jar to cool completely to ensure the seal has set. For care, the glass jar body is dishwasher safe, but you must remove the tin lid components beforehand. Always wash the discs and bands by hand and dry them immediately to prevent rusting, as moisture is the primary enemy of the metal lid system.
