FAQs
How do I ensure the jar is airtight?
After filling and cleaning the rim, screw the lid on as tightly as possible. A successful seal is often indicated by a slight 'pop' sound as the jar cools. You can also check by pressing the center of the lid; it should not flex.
Can I reuse these jars?
Yes, these glass jars are designed for reuse. Remember to sterilize them thoroughly before each use.
What is the best way to sterilize the jars?
You can sterilize them by placing them in a preheated oven at 140°C (285°F) for 15 minutes, or by boiling them in water for 10 minutes. Ensure they are completely dry before filling.
Are the lids dishwasher safe?
Hand washing the lids is recommended to maintain their sealing quality and appearance. Prolonged dishwasher use may affect the seal.
What other lid colors are available?
While this pack features green gingham lids, other color options like yellow, black, and silver may be available separately from Argon Tableware.
What are the exact dimensions of the jar?
Each jar has a capacity of 250ml, a width of 7cm, a depth of 6.5cm, and a height of 9.5cm.
Troubleshooting
Jar lid is difficult to screw on tightly.
Ensure the jar rim is clean and free of debris. Check that the lid's rubber seal is properly seated. Apply firm, even pressure when screwing.
Contents appear to have spoiled despite being sealed.
Ensure jars were properly sterilized before filling and that an airtight seal was achieved. Re-check sterilization methods and lid tightening technique.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Sterilization:
Before first use and after each use, it is crucial to sterilize the jars and lids. This can be done by washing them in hot, soapy water and then placing them in a preheated oven (around 140°C/285°F) for at least 15 minutes, or by boiling them in water. Ensure jars are completely dry before filling.
Lid Application:
When filling jars, ensure the rim is clean. Screw the lid on tightly to achieve an airtight seal. If you hear a 'pop' when opening, the seal was effective.
Care:
These jars are suitable for hot-fill preserves. While the glass is durable, avoid sudden temperature changes. Clean by hand washing or using a dishwasher on a gentle cycle. The lids should be hand-washed to preserve their finish and sealing integrity.
