FAQs
Are these jars dishwasher safe?
While the glass is generally dishwasher safe, we recommend hand-washing the lids to prevent the finish from degrading.
Do I need to sterilize them if I am not storing food?
No, if using them for crafts or dry storage, simple washing with warm soapy water is sufficient.
Can these jars be used for water-bath canning?
These jars are suitable for preserve storage, but always follow standard safe canning practices and ensure the lids are properly sealed.
What is the primary material of the lid?
The lids are made from high-quality metal with an internal sealant to ensure an airtight finish.
Can I store hot liquids in these jars?
Yes, the glass is designed to withstand normal food-safe temperatures, but avoid extreme thermal shock by letting them cool gradually.
Troubleshooting
Lid feels loose or does not seal tightly
Ensure the rim of the glass jar is perfectly clean and free of any food residue before screwing on the lid.
Difficulty opening the jar after sealing
Run the metal lid under warm water for a few seconds to expand the metal slightly, which breaks the vacuum seal.
Visible signs of rust on the lid
Rust is typically caused by trapped moisture or abrasive cleaning. If rust appears, replace the lid to ensure food safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ingredients remain safe and high-quality, it is essential to sterilize these jars before filling them. This can be achieved by placing them in boiling water for several minutes or using an oven-sterilization method at a low temperature. Once sterilized, ensure the jars are completely dry before filling.
When securing the metal lids, twist until you feel a firm resistance to engage the airtight seal. For ongoing care, hand-washing with warm soapy water is recommended. Avoid using harsh abrasive scouring pads on the lids, as this can damage the protective finish and increase the risk of rust over time. Keep the rubberized seal inside the lid clean and free of food debris to maintain the airtight integrity of the jar.
