FAQs
Is the cork lid airtight?
The cork lid provides a natural seal, but it is not completely airtight like some synthetic or screw-top lids. It is suitable for preserving freshness for many dry goods.
Can I store liquids in this jar?
This jar is primarily designed for dry goods. Storing liquids is not recommended as the cork lid is not designed for a liquid-tight seal and may leak.
What is borosilicate glass?
Borosilicate glass is a type of glass known for its excellent thermal shock resistance and durability. It contains no lead and has a high level of clarity.
How often should I replace the cork lid?
With proper care (hand washing and air drying), the cork lid can last for a considerable time. Replace it if it becomes cracked, brittle, or no longer fits securely.
What is the capacity of the jar in ounces?
The jar has a capacity of 1.9 Liters, which is equivalent to 64 US fluid ounces.
Can the cork lid go in the dishwasher?
No, the cork lid should not be placed in the dishwasher. It must be hand-washed and air-dried only.
Troubleshooting
Jar lid does not fit securely.
Ensure the cork lid is completely dry and not warped. Gently press down on the lid to seat it properly. If the cork appears damaged, contact customer support.
Glass jar appears cloudy after washing.
This can sometimes occur with hard water. Run a dishwasher cleaning cycle or hand wash the jar with a mild vinegar solution, then rinse thoroughly.
Lingering odor in the glass jar.
While borosilicate glass is odor-neutral, strong or prolonged exposure to pungent items might require extra cleaning. Try filling the jar with baking soda and water, letting it sit overnight, then washing thoroughly.
