FAQs
Is this jar dishwasher safe?
While the glass body is typically dishwasher safe, it is recommended to hand wash the lid and seal to preserve the integrity of the airtight mechanism.
Can I use this for liquids?
Yes, the jar is suitable for liquids; however, ensure it is kept upright and not overly agitated to prevent potential leaks.
What are the dimensions of the 10-litre jar?
Given the large capacity, please ensure you have at least 30-35cm of vertical clearance on your storage shelves.
Is the glass tempered for canning?
This jar is primarily designed for storage; please consult standard canning safety guidelines before attempting pressure or water-bath canning.
Does the glass absorb food odors?
One of the benefits of high-quality glass is that it is non-porous and will not retain odors, making it easy to repurpose for different ingredients.
How heavy is the jar when empty?
The jar has a substantial weight due to its thick, durable glass walls, providing stability when sitting on a shelf.
Troubleshooting
Lid feels difficult to seal
Check the rubber gasket for misalignment or debris trapped in the rim; clean and re-seat the seal.
Contents seem to lose freshness
Ensure the lid is fully locked down and inspect the rubber gasket for any cracks or signs of wear that may need replacement.
Water spots or streaks on glass
Wipe the exterior and interior with a mixture of vinegar and water followed by a lint-free cloth to restore clarity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the jar for its first use, wash the glass body and the lid seal thoroughly with warm, soapy water and dry completely. When filling, ensure the glass is placed on a stable, flat surface to prevent tipping, especially when handling heavy contents. To maintain the airtight integrity of the lid, wipe the rubber gasket and the rim of the jar periodically with a clean, dry cloth to remove dust or food particles. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads on the glass, as these can create microscopic scratches over time. While the glass is durable, it is not recommended for sudden extreme temperature changes, so ensure the container is at room temperature before introducing very hot or cold items.
