FAQs
Are these jars dishwasher safe?
The glass bodies are generally dishwasher safe, but it is highly recommended to hand wash the metal lids to prevent corrosion.
Can I use these for hot-filling?
Yes, but ensure you gradually warm the glass to avoid thermal shock, and always leave appropriate headspace when filling.
How do I sterilize these jars?
You can sterilize them by placing clean jars in an oven at 100°C for 10-15 minutes or submerging them in boiling water.
Are the lids BPA-free?
The lids are designed for food-grade storage; please check the specific product packaging if you have specific material concerns.
Do these jars stack well?
Yes, the octagonal profile is specifically designed to allow for stable, side-by-side or tiered arrangement on shelves.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not seal properly
Ensure the rim of the jar is clean and free of food debris, as even a small particle can break the airtight seal.

Rust is often caused by dishwasher exposure; ensure lids are hand-washed and dried immediately after use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before initial use, all jars must be thoroughly washed and sterilized to remove manufacturing dust and ensure a sanitary environment for your food. You can sterilize them by placing the glass jars in a warm oven or using a boiling water bath. Once filled, avoid overtightening the lids to prevent stripping the threads. For long-term care, hand wash the lids rather than putting them in the dishwasher, as high heat and harsh detergents can damage the interior lining and cause premature rusting. When storing, keep the jars in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the quality of your preserves.
