Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a popular delicatessen in the historic lanes of York, needed a better way to store and display their range of olives and antipasti. Their old plastic containers were staining and didn't present the premium image they wanted.
"We switched to these Kilner jars and the difference was immediate. They look fantastic on the counter, and our customers can see the quality of the product. The clip lids are brilliant – so much better for keeping everything fresh throughout the day."
David Chen – Owner, The Copper Kettle
By using this commercial glass preserving jar, the deli reported a significant reduction in food spoilage and noted that customers frequently commented on the appealing new presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the jar and rubber seal in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
- Always check the rubber seal for any cracks or brittleness before sealing, especially for long-term preserving.
- When closing, ensure the rim of the jar is clean and free from any food debris for a perfect seal.
- Centre the lid and rubber seal properly before bringing the metal clip down to lock it in place.
Keeping It Going
- The glass jar is dishwasher safe, but it's best to hand-wash the rubber seal to prolong its life.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers on the glass to prevent scratching and maintain its clarity.
- Replace the rubber seal if it becomes stretched, hardened, or damaged to maintain the airtight seal.
- Steer clear of pouring boiling water directly into a cold jar, as the thermal shock could cause it to crack.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this 3 litre Kilner glass storage jar suitable for fermenting foods like kimchi or sauerkraut?
A: Yes, Kilner jars are excellent for fermenting. The airtight seal is perfect for the initial stages, but remember to 'burp' the jar regularly to release gas buildup.
Q: Can I use this jar in the freezer?
A: It's generally not recommended to freeze glass jars, as the liquid expanding can cause them to crack. They are designed for pantry and fridge storage.
Q: Is the rubber seal replaceable?
A: Yes, Kilner provides replacement rubber seals. We recommend changing them every year or so if used heavily for preserving to ensure a perfect airtight seal.
Q: Is the metal clip made from stainless steel?
A: Yes, the clip mechanism is made from high-quality stainless steel, making it resistant to rust and durable enough for constant use.
Q: How do I get the best seal for preserving?
A: Ensure the jar rim and the rubber seal are perfectly clean and dry. Once filled, centre the lid and clamp it shut. As the contents cool, a vacuum seal will form.
Q: Is the glass tempered or toughened?
A: Kilner jars are made from high-quality, durable soda-lime glass. While robust, you should avoid sudden and extreme temperature changes to prevent cracking.
Q: What does 'BPA-Free' mean?
A: It means the glass is made from natural ingredients and contains no Bisphenol A, a chemical sometimes found in plastics that you don't want near your food.
Q: Can I store hot liquids in the jar?
A: You can use it for canning and preserving hot foods, but avoid thermal shock. Don't pour boiling liquid into a cold jar or place a hot jar on a cold surface.
The Kilner Heritage: A Commitment to Preservation
When you choose a Kilner jar, you're not just buying a container; you're investing in over 180 years of British heritage and innovation. Since John Kilner first invented the original jar in the 1840s, the brand has been synonymous with preserving, pickling, and protecting food. This legacy translates into unparalleled trust and reliability for your business. The Kilner JA613 jar isn't a disposable item; it's a piece of equipment designed to perform day-in, day-out in a demanding commercial environment. Its robust construction means fewer replacements and less waste, contributing to a more sustainable kitchen. The simple, effective design has been tested by generations, ensuring that when you seal that lid, you're locking in freshness with a method that's proven to work, safeguarding both your ingredients and your reputation.
Explore more from KilnerWhy a Proper Airtight Seal is Everything
Ever wondered what makes a glass storage jar with a clip lid so effective? It's all down to the brilliant airtight seal. Think of it like a perfectly locked door for your ingredients. The stainless steel clip applies consistent pressure, pushing the lid down onto the flexible rubber seal. This action forces all the air out and creates a vacuum-like environment inside.
This matters because air and moisture are the enemies of freshness. They cause biscuits to go soft, coffee to lose its aroma, and can lead to spoilage in preserves. By keeping them out, the Kilner seal essentially pauses the clock, dramatically extending the shelf life and preserving the flavour, texture, and quality of your food. It’s simple, old-school science that modern kitchens rely on every single day.
