Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your preserve jars, always sterilize the glass containers and the metal discs before filling them. While the jars are designed for canning heat, avoid extreme thermal shock by ensuring the glass is pre-warmed before pouring in boiling hot contents.
- Cleaning: Wash in warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive sponges that may scratch the decorative exterior.
- Lid Care: Dry the metal bands immediately after washing to prevent any potential oxidation or rust, especially if stored in high-humidity areas.
- Compatibility: Ensure you use the correct size of replacement discs if you choose to reuse the screw bands in future seasons.
