How should I sterilize the jars?

Are the jars microwave safe?

Troubleshooting
Jars appear cloudy after washing.
This can be due to mineral deposits from hard water. Try using a rinse aid in your dishwasher or a vinegar solution for hand washing, followed by a thorough rinse.
Lids are difficult to seal or remove.
Ensure the jar rim is clean and dry before sealing. If removing, try running warm water over the lid for a few seconds to expand the metal slightly.
Glass has small chips or cracks.
Inspect jars carefully before use. Discontinue use immediately if any chips or cracks are found to prevent breakage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before First Use:
- Sterilize the Jars: It is essential to sterilize all jars and lids thoroughly before filling them with food for preservation. This can be done by washing them in hot, soapy water, rinsing well, and then placing them in a preheated oven at 140°C (285°F) for at least 15 minutes, or by boiling them in water for 10 minutes.
- Ensure Lids are Clean: If using separate lids, ensure they are also sterilized.
Compatibility:
- These jars are designed for general food storage and presentation. They are compatible with standard jam jar lids of the appropriate size (check manufacturer specifications for exact lid size if purchasing separately).
- Not recommended for high-pressure canning processes unless specified by the manufacturer.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Hand wash with warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the glass.
- Dishwasher: While some glass may be dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to preserve the clarity and integrity of the glass over time. If using a dishwasher, place on the top rack and use a gentle cycle.
- Temperature: Avoid sudden extreme temperature changes (thermal shock), which can cause the glass to crack. For example, do not place a hot jar into cold water.
