FAQs
Are these jars dishwasher safe?
While the glass is generally dishwasher safe, we recommend hand-washing the silver lids to maintain their finish and ensure the internal seal remains intact.
Can I use these for hot water canning?
Yes, these jars are suitable for traditional canning methods, provided you follow proper sterilization and cooling protocols to ensure a vacuum seal.
What is the capacity of each jar?
Each jar has a capacity of 250ml, which is ideal for small batches of jam, chutney, or dressings.
Are the lids BPA-free?
Yes, our lids are manufactured to meet food safety standards for household food storage.
Do these jars come with labels?
No, labels are not included, but the smooth flat sides of the hexagonal glass are perfect for applying custom stickers.
Troubleshooting
Lid feels loose or does not seal
Ensure the rim of the glass jar is clean and free of food particles. If the lid is damaged or dented, it will not create an airtight seal and should be replaced.
Difficulty removing the lid
Run the lid under warm water for 30 seconds to soften the seal, or use a rubber grip pad to provide better leverage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Argon Tableware jars are ready for food storage, follow these steps:
- Sterilization: Wash the glass jars in hot, soapy water. To sterilize for canning, boil the jars in a large pot of water for 10 minutes or use a low-heat oven cycle.
- Lid Care: Hand wash the silver lids with mild detergent. Avoid using harsh abrasives that could scratch the metallic finish or compromise the internal seal.
- Filling: Leave approximately 1cm of 'headspace' at the top of the jar when filling to allow for expansion if you are freezing or processing preserves.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the quality of the food contents.
