FAQs
Can I use these jars for water-bath canning?
Yes, these jars are suitable for standard preservation methods, provided you follow proper canning safety protocols.
Are the lids rust-proof?
The lids are metal and designed for standard use, but to prevent rust, keep them dry and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
What is the exact volume of these jars?
These jars have a capacity of 310ml.
Are the jars microwave safe?
The glass is generally heat resistant, but always remove the metal lid before placing the jar in the microwave.
Can I stack these jars?
Yes, the octagonal shape makes them much more stable for stacking compared to standard round jars.
Troubleshooting
Lid feels loose or does not seal properly
Ensure the rim of the glass jar is wiped clean of any residue before screwing the lid on, as debris can prevent an airtight closure.
Difficulty removing the lid after storage
Run the metal lid under warm water for a few seconds to expand the metal slightly, which helps break the vacuum seal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using your jars for the first time, it is essential to sterilize them in boiling water to ensure food safety for your preserves. When filling, leave a small amount of 'headspace' at the top to allow for expansion if you are heat-processing your jars. For maintenance, while the glass jars are generally dishwasher safe, it is highly recommended to hand wash the black metal lids. Harsh chemicals or high-heat dishwasher cycles can cause the lid coating to degrade or rust over time, which may compromise the airtight seal.
