Troubleshooting
Lid feels loose or does not seal tightly
Ensure the rim of the glass jar is free of food debris and is completely dry before screwing on the lid.
Difficulty opening a stuck lid
Run the lid under warm water for a few seconds to help loosen the seal, or use a rubber grip pad for better traction.
Discoloration appearing on the silver lid
Avoid prolonged contact with highly acidic ingredients like vinegar or lemon juice, and ensure lids are dried immediately after hand washing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before initial use, it is recommended that you wash the glass jars and lids with warm soapy water and dry them thoroughly. To ensure a long lifespan for the silver lids, avoid using harsh abrasive sponges or caustic cleaning chemicals that could scratch or degrade the metallic finish.
When filling the jars, leave a small amount of headspace at the top if you plan to heat-process the contents to account for thermal expansion. Always ensure the screw-top lid is tightened until secure to maintain the integrity of the airtight seal. For best results, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the freshness of your food creations.
