FAQs
Is the Kilner Fresh Storage Spice Jar dishwasher safe?
It is recommended to hand wash the jar and lid. The integrated measuring spoon mechanism may not withstand high dishwasher temperatures and cleaning cycles, potentially affecting its function.
How does the silicone valve work to keep spices fresh?
The silicone valve creates an airtight seal when the lid is closed, preventing oxygen and moisture from entering the jar. This significantly slows down the oxidation and degradation process, preserving the spice's aroma and flavor.
What is the capacity of the measuring spoon?
The integrated stainless steel measuring spoon is designed to hold approximately 1 teaspoon of spice, allowing for convenient and accurate portioning.
Can I store whole and ground spices in this jar?
Yes, the jar is suitable for both whole and ground spices. Whole spices will retain their flavor longer, while ground spices will benefit from the protection against air and moisture to maintain their potency.
Is the borosilicate glass safe for food storage?
Yes, borosilicate glass is food-safe, BPA-free, and highly resistant to staining and odor absorption, making it an ideal material for storing food ingredients like spices.
Can I stack multiple Kilner Fresh Storage Spice Jars?
Yes, the jars are designed to be stackable, allowing for efficient use of space in your pantry or cupboards.
What are the dimensions of the jar?
The dimensions of the Kilner Fresh Storage Spice Jar are approximately H 11.8 x W 12.3 x D 8.2 cm.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not seal properly
Ensure the silicone valve and the rim of the jar are clean and free from any residue. Check that the silicone valve is correctly seated within the lid.
Measuring spoon is difficult to use
Ensure the spoon is dry and not obstructed by contents. If it feels stiff, a gentle wiggle might be needed. Ensure the lid is fully closed before attempting to use the spoon.
Jar retains a strong odor
Although designed to be odor-resistant, very strong spices might leave a faint scent. Try washing with a baking soda and water paste, followed by a thorough rinse and complete drying.
Condensation inside the jar
This can occur if the spice is added when warm or if humidity levels are very high. Ensure spices are completely cool and dry before storing. If condensation persists, check the seal.
