FAQs
Are these jars suitable for home canning?
These jars are primarily intended for serving and presentation. They do not come with the necessary rubber rings or stainless steel clamps required for traditional pressure canning.
What are the exact dimensions of each jar?
Each jar has a height of 55mm and a diameter of 60mm.
How many jars come in a package?
Each retail pack contains 12 glass jars and 12 matching glass lids.
Can I put these in the microwave?
While the glass is robust, it is recommended to avoid extreme thermal shock, such as moving a jar directly from a freezer to a hot microwave.
Where are these jars manufactured?
These jars are manufactured in Germany, adhering to high-quality glass production standards.
Can I use these for hot liquids?
Yes, they are suitable for hot liquids like sauces or warm desserts, provided the glass is at room temperature before filling to avoid cracking.
Troubleshooting
Glass lid is loose
The lid is designed for protection rather than an airtight seal. Ensure it is placed centered on the rim for the best coverage.
Cloudy glass after dishwasher use
This is often due to hard water deposits. Use a glass-safe rinse aid in your dishwasher or wipe with a diluted vinegar solution to restore clarity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the jars for first-time use, wash them in warm soapy water or run them through a dishwasher cycle to ensure they are pristine. Because the glass lids are designed for protection rather than vacuum-sealing, ensure the jars remain upright during transport to prevent contents from leaking. Avoid stacking the jars when filled, as the glass lids are not designed to support heavy vertical pressure. After service, simply place both the jars and the glass lids into your dishwasher for effortless cleanup.
