Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Preparation: Wash the jar and lid components thoroughly before the first use.
- Assembly: Ensure the replaceable seal is correctly positioned within the lid.
- Filling: Fill the jar with your desired contents, leaving appropriate headspace (follow recipe instructions).
- Sealing: Place the lid on the jar and screw the band until it's snug but not overly tight.
Compatibility
The Kilner jar is compatible with most preserving and food storage methods. Avoid using it with extremely hot liquids immediately after removing it from cold storage, as this could cause thermal shock.
Care
- Cleaning: Wash the jar and lid by hand or in a dishwasher. Ensure all parts are thoroughly dried before storing.
- Lid Maintenance: Inspect the lid's seal regularly for any signs of wear. Replace the seal if it appears damaged. The metal screw band can be reused up to 10 times.
- Storage: Store the jars in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
