FAQs
What is the capacity of this biscuit jar?
The jar has a capacity of 2400ml, making it quite generous for storing baked goods.
Is the lid completely airtight?
The lid is designed to be tight-fitting to keep contents fresh. However, for items requiring a completely airtight seal (like coffee beans), it might not be sufficient for long-term storage.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
Hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended to maintain the longevity and finish of the stoneware. Dishwasher use may dull the glaze over time.
What material is the jar made of?
The jar is made from durable, high-quality stoneware.
Can I store hot items in the jar?
It is not recommended to store hot items in the jar, as it is designed for room-temperature dry goods. Also, avoid sudden temperature changes.
Is the red color prone to fading?
Le Creuset's glazes are durable and designed to resist fading under normal use and care conditions.
Troubleshooting
Lid does not seem to seal properly
Ensure the rim of the jar and the underside of the lid are clean and free from crumbs or residue. Check that the lid is seated evenly and firmly pressed down.
Stains on the interior surface
For stubborn stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the stained area, let it sit for 30 minutes, then gently scrub and rinse.
Chips or cracks in the stoneware
Inspect the jar carefully. Minor chips may be cosmetic, but significant cracks can compromise the integrity and food safety. Discontinue use if structural damage is apparent.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
No assembly is required. Simply remove the jar from its packaging and place it on a stable, dry surface.
Compatibility:
This jar is primarily designed for storing dry goods like biscuits, cookies, candies, and tea. It is not recommended for storing liquids or highly moisture-sensitive ingredients like flour or sugar, as the lid provides a good seal but is not completely airtight for such uses.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Hand wash the stoneware jar and lid with warm, soapy water. Use a non-abrasive sponge or cloth.
- Drying: Dry thoroughly with a soft towel before storing to prevent water spots.
- Maintenance: Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive scouring pads, as they can damage the glaze.
- Temperature: While stoneware is durable, avoid extreme temperature changes. Do not place a hot lid on a cold surface or vice-versa.
