Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Larder Deli in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, wanted to upgrade their pantry and retail displays from mismatched containers to something uniform, stylish, and practical for their new range of homemade preserves.
"We made the switch to the Kilner square storage jar 1500ml and our shelves have never looked better. Customers are drawn to the classic, trustworthy look, and our team loves that our signature chutneys stay perfectly fresh for weeks."
Mark Riley – Owner, The Larder Deli
Since updating their presentation, the deli has seen a significant uplift in preserve sales, with a reported 20% increase attributed to the enhanced, eye-catching display.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always wash the jar, lid, and seal in warm, soapy water before the first use and dry thoroughly.
- Ensure the rubber seal is properly seated around the rim of the glass lid, with no twists or gaps.
- When closing, press down firmly on the centre of the lid before lowering the metal clip to engage the seal.
- The clip should feel firm and secure, but not excessively difficult to close.
Keeping It Going
- The glass jar is completely dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
- To prolong the life of the airtight seal, always hand-wash the rubber ring and allow it to air dry.
- Regularly check the rubber seal for any signs of cracking or brittleness and replace it to maintain a perfect seal.
- When storing empty jars, leave the clip unfastened to prevent the rubber seal from being compressed and flattened over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Kilner CZ893 jar genuinely airtight?
A: Yes, the combination of the rubber seal and the stainless steel clip system is engineered to create a perfect airtight seal, ideal for preserving.
Q: Is the whole jar dishwasher safe?
A: The glass jar itself is perfectly safe for the dishwasher. However, we recommend hand-washing the rubber seal to maintain its elasticity and prolong its life.
Q: Can I use this jar for fermenting foods like kimchi or sauerkraut?
A: Absolutely. Kilner jars are very popular for home and commercial fermenting. The glass is non-reactive and the seal is reliable.
Q: What is the orange ring called and can it be replaced?
A: It's called a rubber gasket or seal. Yes, replacement seals are readily available and should be changed if they show signs of wear or damage.
Q: Can I pour boiling liquids directly into the jar?
A: To avoid thermal shock which can crack the glass, it's best to avoid pouring boiling liquids directly into a cold jar. Let liquids cool slightly first.
Q: Can I put this jar in the freezer?
A: We don't recommend freezing these jars. The expansion of frozen liquids can cause the glass to crack or shatter.
Q: Are these jars stackable?
A: The square shape and flat top make them much more stable for stacking than round jars, helping you maximise your storage space.
Q: How do I get the best seal when preserving?
A: Ensure the rim of the jar is clean and free of food debris before placing the lid on. Press down firmly before engaging the clip to help create a vacuum as it cools.
The Kilner Promise: Over 180 Years of Trusted Preservation
Choosing Kilner is about more than just buying a storage container; it’s about investing in a legacy of trust and quality that spans over 180 years. For a business, this heritage translates into tangible value. Customers recognise the iconic Kilner name and associate it with quality, which in turn reflects positively on the products you store or sell within them. This isn't just a jar; it's a statement about your commitment to freshness and tradition. The robust, non-porous sodalime glass ensures that the flavour of your artisan chutney will never be tainted by last week's pickled onions, guaranteeing consistency batch after batch. This long-term reliability means fewer replacements and less product waste, making the Kilner 1500ml clip top glass jar a smart, sustainable, and cost-effective choice for any serious food business.
Explore more from KilnerMore Than a Lid: How the Kilner Seal Protects Your Produce
Ever wondered what makes the Kilner clip-top system so effective? It’s a clever two-part mechanism designed to lock freshness in. Think of it like a perfectly tailored suit for your jar. The orange rubber ring acts as a flexible gasket, creating a soft but complete barrier against the glass rim. The stainless steel clip is the belt, pulling everything together with precisely engineered tension.
When you fill the jar with warm preserves and clip the lid shut, a vacuum seal forms as the contents cool. This process forces the air out, creating an environment where bacteria can't thrive. It’s this simple bit of science that has made the Kilner a trusted name in preserving for generations, ensuring your food stays safe, delicious, and fresh for months on end.
