FAQs

Are these jars dishwasher safe?

The glass jars are generally dishwasher safe, but we recommend hand-washing the silver lids to maintain their finish and seal integrity.

Can I use these for hot-fill canning?

Yes, they are suitable for standard canning processes, but ensure you use proper sterilization techniques and allow for cooling.

Are the jars microwave safe?

The glass is microwave safe, but you must remove the metal lid before placing the jar in the microwave.

Can I put these jars in the freezer?

Yes, you can freeze them, but be sure to leave at least 1cm of space at the top to account for liquid expansion.

Do the lids contain BPA?

The jars are made of food-safe glass, and the lids are designed to be non-toxic, ensuring your food stays uncontaminated.

Troubleshooting

Lid feels loose or does not seal

Ensure the rim of the glass jar is wiped clean of any food debris before twisting on the lid to ensure a perfect metal-to-glass seal.

Difficulty opening a stuck lid

Run the metal lid under warm water for 30 seconds to expand the metal slightly, which will break the vacuum seal.

Lid showing signs of oxidation

Avoid soaking the lids in water for extended periods and always dry them thoroughly with a towel after cleaning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Non-toxic and food-safe glass construction
  • Leakproof lids keep liquids secure during transport
  • Airtight seal preserves food freshness longer
  • Versatile size suitable for a wide range of recipes
  • Easy to clean and maintain

Cons

  • Glass material is susceptible to breakage if dropped
  • Hand washing recommended to preserve lid integrity
  • Not suitable for extreme thermal shock (e.g., direct oven to freezer)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Volila jars, rinse them thoroughly with warm, soapy water before the first use. When filling the jars with hot contents, such as during canning, leave approximately 1cm of headspace to allow for expansion. While the glass is durable, avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent cracking. The lids should be hand-washed and dried immediately to prevent oxidation or rust on the silver finish. These jars are compatible with standard refrigerator and pantry shelving. If storing in a freezer, fill only to the 'shoulder' of the jar to allow for liquid expansion.
