FAQs

Are these jars truly airtight?

Yes, the jars feature a secure silicone seal designed to create an airtight closure, locking in freshness and preventing moisture.

What is the capacity of each jar?

Each jar has a capacity of 1300ml.

Can I put these jars in the dishwasher?

Hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended to best preserve the integrity of the glass and the silicone seal. Ensure the seal is removed and cleaned separately.

What materials are the jars made of?

The jars are made from thick, durable glass with a silicone seal in the lid.

Are these jars stackable?

The product description does not specify if they are stackable. It's best to store them on a stable surface to avoid any risk of falling.

Can I use these jars for storing liquids?

These jars are primarily designed for dry goods. Storing liquids is not recommended as the seal is optimized for dry ingredient preservation.

How should I clean the silicone seal?

The silicone seal can be gently removed from the lid and washed with warm, soapy water. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching it to the lid.

Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to close or doesn't seal properly

Ensure the silicone seal is clean, properly seated within the lid groove, and free of any debris. Check that the jar rim is also clean and free from obstructions.

Condensation inside the jar

This can occur if the contents are added while warm or if there's significant humidity. Ensure contents are completely cool and dry before storing. If it persists, check the seal's integrity.

Jar appears cloudy after washing

This is often due to mineral deposits from hard water. Wash with a mild vinegar solution and rinse thoroughly, then dry completely.
