FAQs

Are these jars dishwasher safe?

The glass jars are dishwasher safe, but the lids should be hand-washed to maintain the integrity of the seal and prevent premature rusting.

Can these be used for hot-water bath canning?

Yes, these jars are made of food-safe glass suitable for traditional home preservation methods provided you follow standard sterilization procedures.

What is the total capacity of each jar?

Each jar has a capacity of 190ml.

Do the lids come with a rubber seal?

The lids feature an integrated sealing compound designed for an airtight closure.

Are the lids BPA free?

Yes, the jars and lids are designed for food safety and are free from harmful materials.

Can I put these jars in the freezer?

Glass is susceptible to thermal shock; if freezing, always leave significant headspace for expansion and avoid extreme temperature changes.

Troubleshooting

Lid feels loose or does not seal tightly

Ensure there is no dried jam or debris on the rim of the jar and confirm the lid is screwed on perfectly level.

Difficulty cleaning corners of the jar

Use a bottle brush with soft, flexible bristles designed to reach into angular glass containers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before your first use, ensure you thoroughly wash the glass jars in warm, soapy water. If you intend to use them for canning, you must sterilize the jars in boiling water or a low-heat oven according to standard home-canning guidelines. When filling, leave a small amount of 'headspace' at the top to allow for natural expansion. When sealing, ensure the rim of the jar is perfectly clean and free of sticky residue to ensure the lid threads correctly and maintains an airtight bond. For care, hand-washing the red lids is strongly recommended to preserve the integrity of the seal coating and prevent corrosion over time. The glass base is dishwasher safe, but always remove the lid before placing the jar in a wash cycle.
