- Cons: A bit heavier than plastic, so mind the shelves when stacking full.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Deli in Bristol was struggling with their plastic containers, which were becoming stained and warped from constant use, leading to food waste and a less-than-professional look. They needed a more durable and hygienic solution for their fresh salads and homemade sauces.
"Switching to these Kilner containers has been fantastic. They don't hold onto smells, they look professional, and our food waste from spoilage has dropped noticeably. They just feel built to last."
David Chen – Owner
By implementing the Kilner JA608 food storage boxes, the deli reduced its weekly food spoilage by over 20% and significantly improved its kitchen workflow.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always wash the container and lid thoroughly before first use with warm, soapy water.
- Ensure the silicone seal is correctly seated inside the grooves of the lid for a perfect seal.
- To create the vacuum seal, press firmly on the centre of the lid until you feel the air expel.
- When reheating in the microwave, always remember to open the steam valve on the lid.
Keeping It Going
- Both the glass base and the lid are completely dishwasher safe for hassle-free cleaning.
- Avoid using abrasive pads or harsh chemicals on the glass to maintain its clarity.
- Remember, only the glass base is oven safe. Never place the plastic lid in a conventional oven.
- Periodically check the silicone valve is clean and clear of any food debris to ensure it works perfectly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the entire container oven-safe?
A: No, only the glass base is oven-safe. The plastic lid and its silicone valve should never be put in a conventional oven as they will melt.
Q: How exactly does the vacuum valve work?
A: After placing the lid on the container, simply press down firmly in the centre. This action forces air out through the one-way valve, creating a vacuum that helps preserve the food.
Q: Is the Kilner glass BPA-free?
A: Yes, absolutely. The glass is made from natural ingredients and is completely free from BPA, so no harmful chemicals can leach into your food.
Q: Can I stack these containers to save space?
A: Yes, they are specifically designed with a stackable lid and base, making them ideal for saving valuable space in a busy commercial fridge, freezer, or pantry.
Q: What is the best way to clean the container?
A: The entire unit – glass base, plastic lid, and silicone seal – is dishwasher safe. Alternatively, you can wash it by hand in warm, soapy water.
Q: Will it stain if I store something like a bolognese sauce in it?
A: No, a major benefit of the high-quality glass is that it's non-porous. It will not absorb stubborn odours, flavours, or stains, unlike many plastic alternatives.
Q: How do I release the seal to open the lid?
A: It's easy. Just pull up on the small silicone valve on the lid. This releases the vacuum pressure, allowing the lid to be removed without any effort.
Q: Is it suitable for freezing liquids like soup?
A: Yes, it's perfect for that. Just be sure to leave a little space at the top to allow for expansion as the liquid freezes.

Explore more from KilnerHow the Simple Vacuum Valve Locks in Freshness
Ever wondered how a simple lid can make food last so much longer? The magic is in the one-way vacuum valve. Think of it like putting a protective bubble around your food. By pushing down on the centre of the lid, you physically force the excess air out through the small silicone valve. This lack of air dramatically slows down oxidation – the process that makes avocados go brown and sauces lose their punch. It’s a simple press that keeps food tasting like it was just made, for much longer, cutting down on waste and preserving the flavour you worked so hard to create. To open, you just lift the valve to break the seal. It’s beautifully simple and incredibly effective.
