FAQs
Can I use these jars for water-bath canning?
Yes, their design is based on traditional canning methods, but always ensure your canning process adheres to food safety standards.
Are the lids microwave safe?
While the glass is durable, it is recommended to avoid sudden thermal shock in the microwave.
Does the set come with 12 jars or 12 jars plus lids?
The set includes 12 glass jars and 12 matching glass covers.
What is the exact height of the jar?
The jars measure 80mm in height.
Can these jars be stacked in the fridge?
Due to their rounded lid shape, they are not designed to be securely stacked on top of each other.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not sit evenly on the jar
Check the rim of the jar for food debris or glass chips that might be preventing a flush seal.
Water spots on the glass after dishwasher cycle
Ensure a rinse aid is used in your dishwasher or dry the jars immediately with a lint-free cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your APS Weck jars is straightforward: simply rinse the jars and lids with warm soapy water before their first use. Because they feature a standard Weck design, they are intuitive to use and assemble. When filling, leave a small amount of 'headspace' at the top if you intend to refrigerate, as the contents may expand.
For cleaning, these jars are fully dishwasher compatible. However, if you are washing them manually to preserve the clarity of the glass, avoid using abrasive scrubbing pads that could cause micro-scratches over time. Always inspect the glass rims for chips before sealing them, as a compromised rim can prevent the lid from sitting flush.
