FAQs
Are these jars dishwasher safe?
While the glass is durable, we recommend hand-washing the jars and specifically the metal lids to prevent potential degradation of the airtight seal lining.
Do I need to sterilize the jars before every use?
Yes, if you are using them for food preservation or canning, sterilizing the jars before each batch is essential to prevent bacterial growth.
Can I use these for hot-fill canning?
Yes, these jars are suitable for hot-filling, but ensure you follow proper safety procedures for temperature changes to prevent the glass from cracking.
What is the diameter of the jar opening?
The jars feature a standard opening width designed for easy pouring and filling, suitable for most preserves and pickles.
Can these be placed in the freezer?
Glass can be fragile in extreme temperatures. We generally advise against freezing, as the expansion of liquids can cause the glass to crack.
Are the lids BPA-free?
The lids are designed for food-safe storage, meeting standard requirements for kitchenware applications.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not feel airtight after closing
Ensure the rim of the jar is clean and free of food debris before applying the lid. Check the lid for any physical damage or warping.
Hard to remove the lid
Use a warm, damp cloth or a rubber grip to assist in breaking the vacuum seal created during the cooling process.
Glass appears cloudy after cleaning
This is often due to mineral deposits from hard water. Soak the jars in a solution of warm water and white vinegar to remove residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using these jars for any canning or storage, ensure they are thoroughly washed and sterilized according to your preferred canning method to remove any surface impurities. When filling the jars, leave a small amount of 'headspace' at the top, especially if you are processing hot liquids, to allow for expansion. The white metal screw-top lids should be twisted on firmly to engage the airtight seal. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers on the glass to maintain clarity, and hand-washing is recommended to preserve the finish on the metal lids. If you intend to use these for long-term food preservation, ensure you are using appropriate canning seals and techniques.
