FAQs
Are these jars dishwasher safe?

What is the material of the lid?
The lids are made from durable black metal, designed to create an airtight screw-top seal.
Do I need to sterilize the jars before every use?
Yes, sterilization is essential before each use to ensure your food remains safe and free from contaminants.

Troubleshooting
Lid does not feel secure
Ensure the rim of the jar is clean and free of food debris before screwing on the lid, as particles can interfere with the seal.

Ensure contents have cooled to room temperature before sealing, or verify that the jars were completely dry after the sterilization process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your preserves, you must sterilize the jars before filling them. This can be done by washing them in hot, soapy water and placing them in a low-temperature oven or using a boiling water bath. Once filled, ensure the black metal screw-top lid is tightened firmly to engage the airtight seal. For maintenance, clean the glass body with warm water; while the glass is durable, avoid using abrasive sponges that could scratch the surface. Note that the metal lids should be dried thoroughly after hand-washing to prevent water spots or potential oxidation.
