FAQs

How do I clean the Kilner Preserve Jar?

Wash the jar, lid, and seal by hand with warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers.

Are the jars dishwasher safe?

While the jars themselves may be dishwasher safe, it's recommended to wash the lids and seals by hand to preserve their sealing properties.

How many times can I reuse the screw band lid?

The screw band lid can be reused up to 10 times.

How often should I replace the vacuum seals?

You should replace the vacuum seals after each use to ensure proper sealing.

Can I use the jar for freezing?

While the jar is suitable for preserving, it is not specifically designed for freezing. Freezing may affect the glass.

You can store jams, marmalades, pickles, chutneys, salads, breakfast oats, and dry foods like pasta, rice, and flour.

What is the capacity of the Kilner Preserve Jar?

Where can I purchase replacement seals?

Replacement seals are often available from retailers that sell Kilner products, or online.

Troubleshooting

The jar won't seal properly.

Ensure the rim of the jar and the lid are clean. Make sure the vacuum seal is correctly positioned and the screw band is tightened adequately. Replace the vacuum seal if necessary.

The contents are spoiling.

Check if the seal is intact by pressing down on the lid; if it flexes, the seal has been compromised. The preserving process may not have been done correctly; review the recipe and technique.

The screw band is difficult to remove.

Loosen the screw band with a jar opener or by gently tapping the side of the lid with a spoon to break the seal.
