Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these jars dishwasher safe?
While the glass is sturdy, we recommend hand washing to preserve the silicone seals and the decorative finish on the lids.
Can I use these for canning hot preserves?
These jars are suitable for standard storage. For heat-canning processes, ensure you follow appropriate temperature guidelines to avoid thermal shock to the glass.
What is the primary material of the seal?
The seal is made from high-quality orange silicone, which is chosen for its durability and longevity compared to traditional rubber.
Are these jars freezer safe?
They are designed for pantry and room-temperature storage. Extreme temperature changes should be avoided to prevent the glass from cracking.
Can I replace the silicone rings if they wear out?
Yes, the silicone rings are the primary wear item. Replacing them periodically will maintain the airtight seal of the jars.
Troubleshooting
The lid is difficult to clamp shut
Ensure the silicone ring is positioned correctly and not twisted. Check for any food debris lodged between the glass rim and the seal.
The jar seal feels loose
Inspect the silicone ring for any signs of wear or improper placement. If it has become misshapen, re-seat it carefully or wash it in warm water to restore its flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Argon Tableware jars, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. Upon arrival, wash the glass jars thoroughly in warm, soapy water and allow them to air dry completely before the first use. When closing the jars, ensure the orange silicone ring is seated flatly against the glass rim to maintain a proper airtight seal. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals on the exterior finish. While the glass is durable, it is not heat-proof in the sense of extreme thermal shock; avoid placing frozen jars directly into boiling water or vice versa. Always check that the metal clips are free of debris before snapping them shut to ensure a smooth, secure lock.
