FAQs
Are these jars dishwasher safe?
While the glass is durable, we recommend hand-washing the black metal lids to prevent potential rust or damage to the finish.
Do I need to sterilize them?
Yes, it is essential to sterilize your jars according to standard canning practices before placing any food inside.
Can I use these for hot water bath canning?
These jars are designed for preservation, but always ensure they are tempered correctly to handle extreme temperature changes to avoid thermal shock.
What is the capacity of each jar?
Each jar has a capacity of 450ml.
Are the lids BPA-free?
The jars are designed for food storage and preservation; please refer to the product packaging for specific material certifications.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not feel secure
Ensure the rim of the jar is clean and free of sticky residue; even a small amount of debris can prevent a proper airtight seal.
Hard to remove the lid
Run the lid under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the vacuum seal, or use a rubber grip jar opener.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure food safety, all jars must be thoroughly sterilized before use by boiling or using an oven sterilization method. When filling, leave a small amount of 'headspace' at the top of the jar to allow for expansion. For daily care, hand-washing is recommended to maintain the finish on the black metal lids, as abrasive dishwashers may wear down the coating over time. Ensure the rims of the jars are wiped clean of any food residue before twisting the lid on to guarantee the airtight seal is properly formed.
