Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the airlock is properly assembled and filled with water or brine according to the manufacturer's instructions before placing it on the jar lid. The lid should be securely fastened.
Compatibility: These jars are suitable for a wide range of fermented foods and beverages including sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha, kefir, pickles, and sourdough starters. They are designed for home fermentation use.
Care: Before first use and after each subsequent use, wash the jars and lids thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse well and allow them to air dry completely. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the glass. The jars are generally dishwasher safe on a gentle cycle, but handwashing is recommended to prolong their lifespan. Ensure the airlock components are also cleaned regularly to prevent blockages.
