Product Overview
Fed up with flimsy containers that don’t quite cut it? Here’s a smart solution for keeping your ingredients fresh and your kitchen impeccably organised. The Kilner JA606 food storage box is designed for the rigours of a professional environment, offering a robust and reliable way to store everything from prepped veg to leftover sauces, helping you cut down on waste and streamline your service.

Expert Review and Insights
In a professional kitchen, you need kit that’s as tough as you are. This Kilner container delivers. The borosilicate glass is surprisingly robust, and the vacuum seal isn't a gimmick – it genuinely extends the life of delicate herbs and prepped salads. It feels like a premium, thought-out piece of equipment, not just a simple storage box.

- True Versatility: A single container for freezing, baking, microwaving, and serving is a huge workflow win.
- Weight Consideration: Being glass, it's naturally heavier than plastic, which can add up when carrying multiples.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Corner Deli in Bristol was looking for a more sustainable and effective way to manage their fresh ingredients and reduce their reliance on single-use plastic wrap for their salad bar.
"These Kilner containers are brilliant. The vacuum seal genuinely keeps our salads and prepped veg crisp for longer, and being able to go from fridge to microwave saves us so much faff. Our food waste has noticeably dropped."
David Chen – Owner
By switching to the Kilner system, the deli reduced daily food spoilage by an estimated 15% and significantly cut down on their weekly cling film costs.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, always wash the glass base and lid in warm, soapy water and rinse well.
- Check the silicone seal is correctly seated inside the lid to ensure a perfect, leakproof fit.
- Remember: the glass base is oven-safe, but the plastic lid is not. Always remove the lid before placing in a hot oven.
- To close, press the lid down firmly, then press the valve to expel the air.
Keeping It Going
- The glass base is perfectly safe for the dishwasher. We recommend hand-washing the lid to protect the valve and seal long-term.
- To release the vacuum seal, simply pull the small tab on the valve to let air back in before trying to open the lid.
- Avoid using harsh abrasive scourers or metal utensils on the glass to prevent scratching.
- Regularly check the silicone seal is clean and free from food debris to maintain its leakproof quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the whole container oven safe?
A: No, only the glass base is oven safe. The plastic lid must always be removed before you place it in the oven to avoid damage.
Q: Can I microwave food in this container?
A: Absolutely. You can reheat food in the microwave in the glass base with the lid on, but make sure you open the silicone valve to allow steam to escape.
Q: How does the vacuum seal actually work?
A: It's simple! After securing the lid, press down firmly on the orange silicone valve. This pushes excess air out, creating a vacuum that helps keep food fresher for longer.
Q: Is the container completely leakproof?
A: Yes, when the lid is properly closed and the silicone seal is clean and correctly in place, the container is designed to be fully leakproof.
Q: What is the Kilner food storage box made from?
A: The base is made from high-quality borosilicate glass. The lid is made from BPA-free plastic with a food-safe silicone seal and valve.
Q: Can I use this for freezing food?
A: Yes, it's perfect for batch cooking and storing food safely in the freezer for a later date.
Q: How should I clean it?
A: The glass base is dishwasher safe for convenience. To ensure the longevity of the seal and valve, we recommend hand-washing the lid.
Q: Will the glass absorb strong smells or stains from food?
A: No, a key benefit of glass is that it's non-porous. It won't absorb odours, flavours, or stains from foods like curry or tomato-based sauces.

Explore more from KilnerHow the Vacuum Seal Valve Locks in Freshness
Ever wondered how that little valve actually works? It's brilliantly simple. When you press down on the silicone valve after closing the lid, you're physically pushing the excess air out of the container. This creates a partial vacuum inside, significantly reducing the amount of oxygen touching your food. Think of it like putting a protective bubble around your ingredients. It's this lack of oxygen that slows down oxidation – the process that makes sliced apples turn brown or salad leaves go limp. This simple press-valve system keeps your food tasting and looking 'just-prepped' for much longer, preserving flavour, texture, and nutrients.
