Product Information
Full details
The B&Q Preserve Jar is an essential kitchen storage solution designed for home cooks, gardeners, and pantry organizers who need a reliable way to keep ingredients fresh. Its key benefit is the combination of an airtight rubber gasket and a robust metal securing clip, which creates a secure environment for everything from homemade preserves to dry kitchen staples. While it offers excellent durability and utility, potential users should note that at 400ml, it is better suited for smaller batches or countertop storage rather than bulk food preservation.

Does the jar come with a replacement gasket?
The jar comes with the standard fitted gasket; please contact support if your gasket is missing or damaged upon purchase.
Can I put the lid in the microwave?
No, you should never put the lid or the metal clip in the microwave as the metal components pose a safety risk.
Is the glass transparent?

Troubleshooting
The jar does not seem to create an airtight seal.
Check the rubber gasket for cracks, debris, or improper positioning. Ensure the metal clip is fully engaged and not obstructed.
The metal clip is difficult to lock.
Ensure the glass lid is properly aligned with the base and that the rubber gasket is seated flatly without any folds.
