Know before you buy
Yes, these jars are designed for preserving and are compatible with standard hot water bath canning methods. The two-piece lid system creates a secure vacuum seal to keep your jams and chutneys shelf-stable.
Yes, the glass jars are dishwasher safe. However, we recommend hand-washing the metal lids to prevent potential rusting and to maintain the integrity of the rubber seal over time.
The two-piece lid system includes a replaceable vacuum seal. While the metal bands can be reused multiple times, the flat sealing discs should be replaced after each use to ensure a proper, airtight seal for your preserves.
Yes, the volume indicators are embossed directly into the glass. They provide a permanent, tactile way to measure your ingredients during the filling process without the risk of labels peeling or fading.
Each jar in this set has a capacity of 12 ounces. This size is ideal for individual portions of jams, jellies, or small-batch pickles.
