Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Olive Branch, a small Mediterranean deli in Leeds, was struggling with plastic containers that were staining and losing their shape, leading to food waste.
"We switched to the Kilner containers to professionalise our prep. The difference in freshness is remarkable. Our hummus and marinated feta stay perfect for much longer, and the clear glass looks great in our display fridge. No more wasted product at the end of the day."
Ben Carter – Owner
The deli reduced its daily fresh prep spoilage by an estimated 25%, paying for the containers within weeks.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the glass base and lid thoroughly in warm, soapy water.
- To seal, place the lid on the container and press down firmly on the central valve to push air out.
- The valve will stay down, indicating an airtight seal has been created.
- To open, simply pull up on the small tab on the valve to release the pressure.
Keeping It Going
- The glass base is durable and perfectly safe for your commercial dishwasher.
- To ensure the longevity of the seal, it's best to hand-wash the lid and silicone valve.
- Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals on the lid to protect the valve mechanism.
- Regularly check that the silicone seal is clean and correctly seated inside the lid.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the entire container oven safe?
A: No, only the glass base is oven safe. The plastic lid and valve must be removed before placing it in the oven.
Q: Is the lid dishwasher safe?
A: While the glass base is dishwasher safe, we strongly recommend hand-washing the lid to protect the integrity of the vacuum seal and silicone parts over time.
Q: How do I know the vacuum seal is working?
A: When you press the valve down to seal it, it will stay in the lowered position. This indicates that air has been pushed out and a vacuum has been formed.
Q: Can I stack multiple containers on top of each other?
A: Yes, absolutely. These square containers are specifically designed to be stacked securely, helping you save valuable space in the fridge, freezer, or pantry.
Q: What is the main benefit of glass over plastic?
A: Glass is non-porous and BPA-free, so it won't absorb food odours, flavours, or colours. It also won't leach chemicals into your food, ensuring a purer taste.
Q: Is this Kilner 310ml square storage container truly leakproof with liquids like soup?
A: Yes, the combination of the clip-top lid and the vacuum seal creates a secure, leakproof closure, making it safe for transporting soups, sauces, and dressings.
Q: What does BPA-free mean for my business?
A: It means the container is free from Bisphenol A, a chemical sometimes found in plastics. This is a key food safety feature that many health-conscious customers look for.
Q: Will it get stained by a bolognese or curry sauce?
A: No, the high-quality glass is naturally resistant to staining, so it will remain crystal clear even after storing richly coloured sauces.
The Kilner Heritage: A Commitment to Preservation
When you choose a Kilner product, you're not just buying a container; you're investing in over 180 years of British heritage and expertise in food preservation. Kilner has been a trusted name in kitchens since the 1840s, long before refrigeration was common. This deep-rooted history is built on one principle: keeping food at its best. For a modern business, this translates into tangible value. It means a product engineered for durability, reducing the cost and hassle of replacing cheaper, less reliable alternatives. It means confidence in food safety and quality, helping you serve consistently excellent products. In a world of disposable items, choosing a Kilner is a vote for sustainability, quality, and a brand that understands the fundamental importance of preserving freshness and flavour.
Explore more from KilnerHow the Vacuum Valve Locks in Freshness
Ever wondered how the little valve on the lid actually works? It’s simpler and cleverer than it looks. When you push down on the silicone valve after closing the lid, you're physically forcing excess air out of the container. This creates a lower-pressure environment inside – a partial vacuum. Think of it like a professional vacuum sealer, but built right into your everyday storage. By removing most of the oxygen, you dramatically slow down the process of oxidation, which is what makes food spoil, lose its colour, and go stale. It’s a tiny feature that ensures your ingredients stay fresher, crisper, and more flavourful for much longer.
