Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rutland Pantry, a popular farm shop in Oakham, wanted to create a more premium and cohesive look for their range of homemade preserves, moving away from generic, mismatched jars.
"Our products now look as good as they taste. The Kilner jars give our shelves a professional, uniform appearance that our customers instantly recognise and trust. They just fly off the shelves."
Robert Davies – Owner
After switching to Kilner jars for all their preserves, they saw a 25% uplift in chutney and jam sales within three months, citing the improved presentation as the key factor.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, always wash the jar and rubber seal in warm, soapy water and rinse well.
- Ensure the jar is completely dry before filling, especially with dry goods like flour or sugar.
- For preserving, check the orange rubber seal for any nicks or damage to guarantee a perfect seal.
- When closing, make sure the rubber seal is seated flat and evenly on the rim of the jar before applying the clip.
Keeping It Going
- The glass jar is dishwasher safe, but we strongly recommend hand-washing the metal clip assembly and rubber seal.
- Always dry the metal components thoroughly after washing to prevent any chance of rust over time.
- Replace the rubber seal if it becomes hard, brittle, or cracked to maintain the airtight seal.
- Store empty jars with the clip unfastened to allow air to circulate and prevent the seal from being compressed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these jars suitable for hot-fill preserving and canning?
A: Yes, Kilner jars are specifically designed for preserving. Just be sure to follow proper canning guidelines and warm the jars gradually to prevent thermal shock from sudden temperature changes.
Q: Is the orange rubber seal included with the jar?
A: Absolutely. Every Kilner clip top jar comes complete with one of the iconic, durable orange rubber seals, ready for use.
Q: Are the jars stackable?
A: Due to the wire clip mechanism on the lid, these jars are not designed to be stacked directly on top of one another securely.
Q: Can I put the entire jar in the dishwasher?
A: The glass base is perfectly safe for the dishwasher. However, to prolong the life of the metal clip and the rubber seal, we always recommend washing those parts by hand.
Q: What exactly is sodalime glass?
A: It's a high-quality and robust type of glass, well-known for its brilliant clarity and good thermal properties, which makes it ideal for food storage and preserving.
Q: Can I buy replacement rubber seals for these jars?
A: Yes, replacement seals for Kilner jars are widely available. This makes them a wonderfully sustainable choice that can last for many, many years.
Q: Are these genuine Kilner jars?
A: Yes, these are 100% authentic. They feature the embossed Kilner logo, which has been a hallmark of British quality and heritage for over 180 years.
Q: What is the benefit of a square jar over a round one?
A: Square jars are often more space-efficient. They can be placed flush against each other on a shelf, helping you to maximise every inch of your storage space.
The Kilner Heritage: More Than Just a Jar
When you choose a Kilner jar, you're not just buying a container; you're investing in over 180 years of British heritage and trust. This isn't just a product; it's a statement of quality that both you and your customers will recognise. Displaying your homemade jams, chutneys, or even dry goods in a jar with the iconic Kilner logo subtly communicates a commitment to authenticity and tradition. This perceived value can elevate your products and build customer confidence. Beyond branding, these jars are built for longevity. They are designed to be used, washed, and reused for years, with replaceable seals making them a truly sustainable and economical choice for any business. Their robust construction means fewer breakages and a consistent, professional look across your pantry, deli counter, or retail shelves, day in and day out.
Explore more from KilnerHow the Iconic Clip Top Creates a Perfect Seal
Ever wondered what makes the Kilner clip-top system so effective? It’s all down to simple, clever physics. The metal lever arm acts as a tensioner. When you push it down and lock it, it forces the glass lid firmly onto the flexible rubber seal. This pressure creates a hermetic, or airtight, environment inside the jar.
Think of it like a submarine hatch for your food. The consistent pressure from the clip ensures nothing gets in or out – locking flavour and aroma in, while keeping air, moisture, and pests firmly out. It's this reliable mechanism that has made it the go-to choice for preserving for generations, ensuring your hard work stays fresh and safe.
Who Should Buy This?
- Artisan Cafés & Delis: Perfect for stylishly displaying layered salads, overnight oats, or countertop ingredients like coffee beans and biscuits.
- Bistros & Restaurants: Ideal for preserving your own signature chutneys, jams, and pickled vegetables for the menu.
- Farm Shops & Grocers: A brilliant retail item for selling loose-leaf teas, pulses, or homemade preserves to your customers.
- Passionate Home Preservers: The ultimate jar for storing everything from seasonal fruit compotes to home-fermented kimchi and sourdough starters.
