FAQs

Are Kilner Wide Mouth Jars suitable for canning and preserving?

Yes, these jars are specifically designed for preserving and canning. Their two-piece lid system creates a secure vacuum seal, ideal for various preservation methods.

Can I put the jars and lids in the dishwasher?

The glass jars are dishwasher safe. However, the tin discs and screw bands must be hand washed only and dried immediately to prevent damage and maintain their integrity.

What is the capacity of each jar?

Each Kilner Wide Mouth Jar has a capacity of 0.35 litres, which is equivalent to 350ml.

Is the glass BPA-free?

Yes, the Kilner glass jars are made from natural ingredients and are completely BPA-free, ensuring no harmful chemicals or toxins can leach into your food.

Why is the wide mouth design beneficial?

The wider opening makes filling the jars much easier, especially for whole fruits, larger vegetables, or when decanting contents. It also simplifies cleaning.

How do I ensure a good seal when preserving?

Ensure the jar rim is clean before placing the tin disc and screw band. Tighten the screw band firmly but not excessively. Follow tested preservation recipes and methods for proper processing times and temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Jar not sealing properly after processing.

Ensure the rim of the jar is clean before applying the lid. Check the tin disc for any dents or imperfections, and the screw band for proper tightness. Sometimes, re-processing with a new lid component is necessary.

Lid components show signs of rust.

The tin disc and screw band must be hand washed and dried immediately after use. Avoid soaking them or placing them in the dishwasher, as this can lead to corrosion. Store them in a dry place.

Glass jar develops cracks during use or washing.

Avoid exposing the jar to sudden temperature changes (thermal shock), such as placing a hot jar directly into cold water or vice-versa. Always allow jars to cool down gradually after processing or heating.

Food retains odors or flavors from previous contents.

Kilner glass is designed not to absorb odors or flavors. Ensure the jar is thoroughly cleaned. If a strong odor persists, try filling the jar with baking soda and water mixture, let it sit overnight, then wash thoroughly.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • Lid Requires Hand Washing: The tin disc and screw band are not dishwasher safe and must be hand washed and dried immediately, which adds a small maintenance step.
